and Register. Beckley, Sunday Morning. Augusts, 1975 By WILLIAM COTTERELL ATLANTA (UPI) The Atlanta Falcons gave up on signing linebacker Ted Hendricks Saturday, saying contract talks aimed at making the "Mad Stork" from Miami a millionaire had broken down on undisclosed "principles." Falcon General Manager Pat Peppier, weary from three days of almost non-stop negotiations with Hendricks and his agent. Tony Roberts, told a news conference Hendricks wanted more fringe benefits than i the Falcons could give him. Neither the money nor the special conditions Hendricks sought were disclosed.

"I used to work for a quiet Italian who'd tell you that's none of your damned business," said Peppier, who used to work for Vince "I'm not going to say that, luit there are some things that have to be considered club business and confidential." Hendricks did not attend the news conference. Hendricks is believed to have made about $145,000 playing out his option with Green Bay last year. When lie and Roberts arrived in Atlanta Thursday, it was believed they were negotiating for a five-year contract $200.000 a year. Peppier indicated Hendricks might have wanted to delay rting to the Falcon training camp, but declined to say specifically what "structural provisions" of the contract torpedoed the negotiations. "There were a few principles involved here," he said.

just got into an unprecedented amount of delay." Peppier said with the Falcons already two weeks into their pre-season training at Greenville, S.C., the team was running out of time for coming to terms.

S. 219 August 15-23 said Coach Marion Campbell was not worried about line-backers, with candidates including last season's starters Tommy Nobis. Don Ilansen and Greg Brezina and rookie Ralph Ortega from Florida.

The Falcons finished last season with a dismal 3-11 record, attributable more to a punchless offense than a porous defense. Hendricks. 27, started his NFL career at Baltimore in 1969. At the University of Miami, the 6-7. 230-pound Hendricks earned the nickname "Mad Stork" for his flailing, abandoned style of crashing through lines.

The Falcon management went so far as to proclaim "a firm verbal agreement" expected by noon Friday, but the talks bogged down. Peppier said the New York (Hants, the Oakland Raiders and Hendricks" hometown Dolphins are interested in signing him. "Ted Hendricks is obviously very much in demand in the National football League," he said. "We saw an opportunity to pick up an AllPro linebacker, and even though linebacker is not one of our problems right now, we've done everything we could do to bring it about. We're just sorry we couldn't." Hendricks is the third sports superstar lost to Atlanta teams in the past month.

The Atlanta Hawks tried to sign top draft choices David Thompson and Marvin Human Eraser" Webster to basketball contracts, but lost both to Denver of the ABA. Peppier said Hendricks liked Atlanta and was not dissuaded by the local news media, which have been highly cr'ictical of the losing Falcons, Hawks, NHL Flames and baseball Braves. The Atlanta Constitution recently ran a two-part series titled "Losersville USA" about local sports teams, which rankled some front offices. Rossman Wins LAS VEGAS. Nev.

IN PINEVILLE, W. VA. "YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN" PC PIUS "YOUNG IT'S COMING SOON! NASCAR's Pocono 500 Race Today By GARRETT AP Sports Writer LONG POND. Pa. (AP) Buddy Baker and Cale Yarborough would like to prove something to themselves and Richard Petty in Sunday's SOOmile Grand National stock car race at Pocono International Raceway.

Baker and Yarborough were in hot pursuit of Petty here last year, when, with eight laps to go, a sudden rain shower brought an early end to the race. "Who knows, something might have gone wrong mechanically in Richard's car, and Cale and I would have had a dandy race to the finish," Baker said. "Plenty of races are won or lost on the very last lap." a only S47.000 short of becoming fourth millionaire in winnings, could pick up about S16.000 with a win in the S102.000 race. "1m not that concerned about the money aspect, but I wouldn't mind'that distinction," Yarorough said. "Just winning would make me happy." Besides Petty.

Yarborough and Baker, David Pearson and Bobby Allision figure to be among the front-runners. All five practiced at nearly the same speeds Friday, although Petty and Pearson were thought to have a slight edge to win the pole position in qualifying today. Baker won the pole last year, the first year for this event, with an average speed of 144.122 miles per hour around the tri-oval. Pocono, besides being different in dimensions than any other NASCAR track, has a lumpy surface from settling of the sandy soil on which it is built. The cars also travel uphill at one point, and have to negotiate the "tunnel turn" which is uneven because the tunnel once partially caved in.

Tate was in command of the fight all the way, opening a cut under Carter's right eye in the first round. Southern W. Va. Boxing Hall Of Fame Name Seven By GAYLEN DUSKEY Register Sports Editor The Southern West Virginia Boxing Hall of Fame introduced Seven new members today.

In making his statement West Virginia Athletic Commissioner Doug pling called all men "representative of boxing in Southern West Virginia and dignified new inductees." Joey Herrera, Kenny Partlow, John Tanner. Charlie Sensabaugh. Jack Ball, William Stevens, and Luther Harrison the seven new members and they will be inducted formally into the Hall of Fame during ceremonies on John Tanner's September 27 fight card. "We're happy to get men of their boxing calibre in the Hall of Fame," pling said, "because this is the hot bed of boxing in this state." The Southern West Virginia Boxing Hall of Fame started last year with 23 inductees, including such noteables as Jack Martin, Aubrey "Kid" Martin, Ed Tanner, Cotton White, Cooper White, Ralph Cole, Harry Lewin. Bob Wills, "Wild Bill" Clark, Clevon Murray, Fitzy Fitzpatrick, and Al Cohen.

"That was one of the best things that ever happened to boxing around here," pling continued, "because it elevated boxing to the same level as football, basketball, baseball, and Hall of Fame really means something." The Southern West Virginia Boxing Hall of Fame originated last year, but it had been the brainchild of Epling for many years. "Heck, it's just something 1 wanted to do for a long time." Epling said, "and when I mentioned it to some boxing people around here it got tremendous support. "So last year with the help of a lot of other people we got it off the ground," Epling continued, "I feel that it's just good for the sport." Epling feels much the same was as many others, but he has thought of plans to make the Hall of Fame a statewide institution. Shucks. I'd like to do that," Epling said, "but it'd take cooperation from all areas of the state, and I don't know if we'd be able to get it.

"However." pling continued, "I'd like to do it. I think it'd be good for boxing." Each year the Hall of Fame has depended on a 10- man committee to vote on induction of the members, but this method is possibly under the process of revision. "We may change the rules and only allow Hall of Fame members the right to vote on new members," the commissioner said, "but that is something that will be looked into by the rules committee." Epling feels the Hall of Fame will change in the next few years, but that it is a valuable to boxing. "We're probably going to elect just four members a year." Epling-said, "that way the selection process will he a great deal more selective." The inclusion of the four new members brings the Hall's strength to 23. Here's a thumbnail sketch of the inductees: CHARLIE SENSABAUGH --His boxing career spanned nearly 20 years and included several area Golden Gloves championships.

Sensabaugh had over 100' amatuer bouts and was a knockout winner in more than half of He was also reputed to be one of the hardest punchers in West Virginia boxing history. "Gosh, he never called on any fight," boxing promoter John Tanner said, "he'd fight anybody anything." KENNY PARTLOW --He was a four time West Virginia Golden champion and was twice the Champion of Champions. During his amatuer career Partlow had and won over 100 fights. Partlow also.had 42 fights as a professional with a 347-1 record. He fought three people that were ranked among the top 10 including present champion Bill Douglas of Columbus, Ohio.

He was the West Virginia professional middleweight and welterweight champion for three and one-half years. JACK ALL --He was one of many fight managers and trainers in the Beckley and Hinton areas. He trained many state champions. He fought in the military service as a light heavyweight and continued his career after being discharged. His career was hampered by injuries.

He has served as a judge, chief deputy, and referee during his career. JOEY HERRER'A JR. --He was one also was of the area's trainers during his active career working with several notables. However. Herrera's most notable fighter was Archie Moore.

Herrera worked as a second in Moore's fight corner on numerous occassions. Herrera also trained and owned seventh-ranked light heavyweight Bobby McKinney, while personally running a gymnasium for several years. He has worked most recently as a referee. JOHN BANNER --He has been known most recently I as a boxing promoter, but before that he was one of many tough boxers in the state. Tanner has been prompting for over 20 years in the Beckley area while working to bring the attendance at boxing shows from 500 to 2,500.

As a boxer Tanner has the rare distinction of participating in every weight during his 17 year career- finishing his career as Heavyweight. WILLIAM STEVENS-- He had a powerful left hook and two Golden Glove titles in the area. LUTHER HARRISTON--He coached boxing at Stocq: High School and remain close to boxing for many Time Is Running Out By JIM COUR UPI Sports Writer LOS ANGELES (UPI) Based on their king-sized deficit in the National League West and with time rapidly running out. the Los Angeles Dodgers probably don't have much of a chance of catching the Cincinnati Reds. But they haven't quit trying.

Trailing 3-0 after six innings against the Reds Friday night, the Dodgers showed plenty of character coming back to win 5-3 on Ron Cey's two-run homer in the 10th inning. "The biggest problem this year is that we've lost a lot" of respect around the league," Cey said. "We used to intimidate peoplelast year. This hasn't been the case this year. "At this point, we have to be realistic.

Utility infielder Lee Lacy scored the tying run after getting a pinch-single in the eighth and then went into left field. He promptly cut down Johnny Bench at the plate in the ninth when the Reds catcher attempted to score from second base on George Foster's single. Lacy threw put Darrel Chaney in the 10th when he tried to come in from second on Pete Rose's fifth hit of the night.

"I got a good on both those balls," said Lacy. "I knew both plays would be close. I just wanted the throws to be accurate and 1 wanted to have something on them." Dodger manager Walter Alston praised Lacy, saying, "It's tough on him, having never played the outfield, but he made two great throws." Cey. whose three RBIs Friday night increased his season's total to 68, said he was being pragmatic in his approach to the NL West race. "It's unfortunate that two of the best teams in baseball have to be in the same Dodger third baseman noted.

"I don't think we're the same club as we were last year due to all the injuries that we've had. "On the other hand, I would say that the.Reds have the best team in baseball right now. They're having the same type of season that we had last year." Cey's homer and Lacy's two throws enabled Charlie Hough to register'his first win of the season against four defeats.
