"CALLING WILD BILL ELLIOTT" Making his bow finder the Re public banner, popular Wild Bill Elliott gets off to an excellent start in his new series In "Calling Wild Bill Elliott," which opened yester day at the Visulite Theatre. As a sort of Robin Hood of the early West, he goes gunning for a cattle country crook who poses as Governor" of a rich but sparsely settled territory, beats the murder charges framed against him by the crook, ends ht reign of terror and hands him over to the federal government for punishment. This is the sort of meaty, action- packed role that is guaranteed to delight Elliott fans. The screenplay by Anthony Coldewey gives him wide latitude to display his versa tile talents. He extricates himself from each new peril, only to find himself in newer and more grave dangers.

The final sequences are Jam packed with thrilling suspense and hell-for-leather action. "SILENT VALLEY" More thrills than a three-ring circus, as much fast action as there is in a daredevil, record-breaking automobile race against time. That's "Silent Valley," the new Steiner Western, starring Tom Tyler, a pic ture vibrant with romance, glowing with color and playing today only at the Strand Theatre. Barking guns, pounding hoofs, fistic combats and whistling bullets, there's never a slack moment or letup in suspense when Tom Tyler is riding range, fighting for his own honor, and the sake of a girl who loves him. Extra added treats are another thrilling chapter of the "Master Key" serial and a Porky Pig car toon.

"IT'S A PLEASURE" Now Hollywood cleverly presents Sonja Henie in a spectacular pic-J ture which subordinates her skat ing, superlative as it is, to the story. "It's a Pleasure!" the star's first in Technicolor, presents her in the full range of her versatility in a de luxe entertainment aimed for universal appeal.

25.) Rocky Graziano, a Brooklyn touga-ie with the kick of a mule in his right hand, is boxing's latest mil-ion -dollar baby. He zoomed into the big money class last night by again knocking out Welterweight Champion Freddie "Red" Cochrane in the tenth and last round of their return non-title bout at Madison Square Garden. A crowd of 18,701, who contributed to a gross gate of $100,469, thrilled as Rocky unleashed his murderous right in the last two rounds and floored the Elizabeth, N. redhead seven times for nine counts before he stayed down for good at 2:37 of the tenth. During the first six rounds the fight was a carbon copy of their first meeting on June 29.

Cochrane, again the underdog and outweighed by nine pounds at 145 to 154, built up a big lead on points by belaboring Rocky with left hooks and except for one or two occasions, evading the bull-like rushes of his younger opponent. Things changed In the seventh. Rocky banged Red Into the ropes with a right and snapped his head back with two lefts. Red's boxing ability got him out of trouble and warded off Rocky's blow in the eighth, but in the ninth the slaughter started. The first knockdown came as Red was dancing backwards.

He got tagged by a Graziano lunge and crumpled. From then on, it was an up and down affair for the game, but outclassed champion, as Rocky battered him without mercy. At the end he was out so completely he vir tually had to be carried from the ring. It was Rocky's fourth straight garden knockout and his first 000 gate. He bounced into popularity by flattening Philadelphia's Billy Arnold in March.

Since then he has kayoed Bummy Davis and Cochrane. In these four bouts he has drawn 63,639 Jans and $298,492. Frcm now on he is "made." Future bouts that his manager, Irving Cohen, is considering, are against Ray "Sugar" Robinson and Jake Lamotta. 0 KNOXVILLE, Aug. 25.

(ff) Golf's new amateur sensation, rangy Freddie Haas of New Orleans, was backJin the professional's hair today. As the $13,333 Knoxville Open moved into the backstretch, the long-legged Louisianan loomed as the main barrier between Byron Nelson and the Toledo star's fifteenth major tournament victory of the year. Nelson, grooving his shots in a harrassing rain, stepped off to a four-stroke halfway lead by adding a three-under-par 69 to an earlier 67 for a total of 136. Right behind him at 140, close enough to be menacing, came the ever-whistling, smooth stroking Haas, who cracked the fairway king's long winning streak last week-end in Memphis. Freddie added an even par 72 to a first round 68 to leave the other topflight professionals straggling.

Little Ben Hogan of Hershey, Pa, making his tournament comeback, virtually shot himself out of the picture by going four over par with a 76. He turned even but three putted four of the last nine water soaked greens to wind up with 144, eight strokes back of his old Texas rival Harold (Jug) McSpaden of San ford. and little beret-wearing Toney Penna of Dayton, Ohio, stuck within striking distance registering 36-hole scores of 141 McSpaden linked a sub-par 71 to his first day 70 and Penna, blasting from seven traps, added a 73 to his previous 68. Sammy Snead of Hot Springs, required 73 strikes for a half way total of 145. 0 FIGHTS (Bv The Associated Press) NEW YORK Rocky Graziano, 154, New York, knocked out Fred die (Red) Cochrane, 145, Elizabeth, N.

Detroit's nine remaining meetings With Cleveland, representing almost one fourth of their schedule, are so spaced that they will face Rapid Robert three more times. Washington has only three more with the Tribe, all bunched in one series, so that the Nats will see Feller only once.

The way things stand today, with Detroit shading the Senators b7 only a half game with a long road Jaunt ahead, three more dates with the Indians' fireball josser can be the kiss of death to the Tigers' hopes. Feller Could Hurl To Flag Feller conceivably could hurl Ceveland to the flag, for the Tribe In fifth place is only xk lengths off the pace but their recent disastrous series with Washington just about snuffed out that hope. It is the threat of Robert beating a contender, probably Detroit, that holds the dynamite. Any doubt about Feller's ability to resume his position as the boss man in the league was dissipated last night when he whiffed 12 Tigers and allowed only four hits in trimming Hal Newhouser, 4-2. "Of course, I'll be able to reach a keener edge as I go along," said Feller in at tone calculated to' Chill A.

Washington advanced to within half game of the top by merely sitting in a hotel room and planning their strategy for today's doubleheader against the Yankses after yesterday's game was rained out.
