Elwood "Bingo" DeMoss (September 5 1889 - January 26 1965) was a baseball player and manager in the Negro Leagues from 1905 to 1943. He was born in Topeka, Kansas. It was in Topkea that he began his playing career in 1905 with the Topeka Giants. He is considered the finest fielding second baseman of the 1910's and 1920's Negro Leagues. He was the captain of the 1926 Negro League Champion Chicago American Giants. Using great bat control, DeMoss is considered one of the greatest bunters in Negro League History.
