Saperstein Back to Globetrotters

By HAROLD U. RIBALOW

(Copyright, 1963,
Jewish Telegraphic Agency, Inc.)

Little Abe Saperstein is the
man who invented the Harlem
Globetrotters and is one of the
really big (but not in height)
men of basketball. The Globe-
trotters are a Negro club that
has been entertaining all over
the world and Saperstein, mak-
ing money, wanted status of a
different kind—so he thought
of establishing a new profes-
sional hoop league. A year and
a half ago, he was a major fac-
tor in the creation of the Ameri-
can Basketball League. He be-
came its commissioner (the
opposite number of Maurice
Podoloff in the National Bas-
ketball Association) and thought
of many "gimmicks" to make
the league attractive. Some
didn't pan out, like the three-
point basket. But he tried.
Now the ABL has ceased
operations and the NBA has
the field to itself—and Saper-
stein can return to the Globe-
trotters, fulltime. One of the
peculiar aspects of the ABL
