So strong an emotional undercurrent do the ceremonies provide that the supposedly hard-bitten football hems of yesteryear often break into tears. Thats how overwhelmed they are by the honor accorded them Kven Jim Brown, frequently a disdainful and arrogant was so moved by his induction that his eloquent acceptance seech was laeed with tenderness, gratitude and humility. The three who will soon reach Canton with heads attached firmlv to shoulders will be Raymond Berry, the pass-catching marvel for the Baltimore Colts, Jim Parker, a deluxe lineman with either platoon on the Colts and Joe Schmidt, long a defensive linchacking bulwark on the Detroit Ijos. Both Berry and Parker were voted during their first year of eligibility. Schmidt should have made it on the first bounce a year earlier but the head choppers did him in, forcing him to wait an extra 12 months.

Berry is the most intriguing of the three new immortals. Both Parker and Schmidt had enormous phvsical skills to propel them along the path to greatness They were big and fast and fiendishly efficient. Berry was neither big nor fast. But he sure was fiendishly efficient. If there ever was please dont call him Ray), pleace dont call him Ray).

He didnt make his high school team until his senior year, failed to win his letter at Southern Methodist as a sophomore and caught only 33 passes for one touchdown in his entire varsity career. That hardly sounds like Hall of Fame material. Nor were the Colts too impressed They drafted him 20th for the 1955 season and didn't think he could last through the squad cuts at training camp "What saved Raymond, said Gino Marchetti, the wondrous defensive captain of the Colts and now a Hall of Famcr, was that we didn't have many good offensive ends that year. Berry didnt look like any seven-alarm fire himself but at least he hustled all the time." He never stopped hustling throughout a 13-year career. The experts said that he was the most dedicated of all football players.

Raymond shrugged it off. "To me, he said, "the synonym for dedication is preparation. Not since the legendary Don Hutson of Green Bay has any pass catcher prepared more thoroughly than Berry. Don't forget that it was Hutson who once said, "for every pass I ever caught in a game, 1 caught a thousand in practice. The chances are that Raymond could say the same.

By actual count Rcrry had 88 maneuvers for Retting around defenders and to the ball. He practiced the full 88 moves every day. He ran precision pass patterns and scorned all invented-in-the-huddle plays. Fortunately he never got too many of those because Johnny Unitas was his quarterback for a dozen seasons and each helped make the other famous. The most spectacular afternoon they ever had, perhaps, was "the greatest game ever played.

This was the championship playoff between the Colts and the New York Giants in 1958, Baltimore winning in sudden-death overtime. Berry caught the startling number of 12 passes for 178 yards on that day of intense, excruciating pressure. He caught all the key ones against double coverage to set up the tie score as time ran out in the regulation game. During the season Raymond spent extra hours every week with Unitas, polishing patterns and trying to improve on perfection. In the off-season he had Sally, his wife, throw passes.

She didnt throw well and she threw wobblers but they drilled Raymond in the knack of catching bad passes. He spent two years rehearsing one particular play, leaping high and then staying inbounds at the corner of the field near the end zone. It paid off once, the day he came down with a catch against the 49crs and toppled into the end zone for a key touchdown. Its a mighty exclusive club that has been established for the immortals at Canton. The three newest Hall of Famers are most worthy additions.

Mets 12, Braves 2 Rusty Staub led the Mets 15-hit 12-2 stampeding of the Braves with five runs batted in on a pair of homers, his ninth and 10th of the season, and a bases-loaded walk. John Milner kicked in with a three-run homer, too. But Tom Seaver didnt really need all the fireworks. He pretty well shut down Atlanta on five hits. This is a hell of a park to hit in," Staub quipped.

It was a hell of a day he had, someone suggested. "Lets hope it aint the last one, gang," he shot back. The rest of the Mets probably agree on both counts. In the last 10 innings in Atlanta, New York has pounded out 19 runs and 23 hits. Reds 7, Phillies 3 Andy Kosco had a hand in both of the rallies that carried Cincinnati past Steve Carlton and the Phillies 7-3.

Successive doubles by Pete Rose, Joe Morgan and Dave Concepcion gave the Reds two quick runs in the sixth inning and, after a walk, Kosco gave them three' more with his second home run. In the eighth, Concepcion and Kosco clubbed run-scoring dou-i blcs. I Expos 3, Astro 2 The Expos Ron Hunt, who has a habit of getting hit by pitches, did it again for the 22nd time this year and the (ouch!) 225th time of his blaek-and-blue career. It happened leading off the 10th inning against Houstons Cecil Upshaw. "Normally I pick up the ball and slip it back to the pitcher as sort of an insult, just to show him it didn't hurt me, Hunt said.

This time, though, I didnt. I noticed how much he rubbed up that ball, how he seemed to like it. So I grabbed it and rolled it to our dugout, just to get him upset if I could. Upshaw wasnt around long enough to get upset. Juan Pizarro took the mound immediately and a few minutes later, with Hunt on third, unleashed a wild pitch that let Hunt come home with the decisive run in the 3-2 victory.

Starters Claude Osteen, 11-6, and Don Sutton, 12-5, and reliever Jim Brewer were among the eight pitchers Anderson selected for the National league All-Star team that will face the American League next Tuesday night in Kansas City.

Other Dodger hurlers, including Tommy John, Andy Mcs-sersmith and A1 Downing, also have excellent credentials. But there wasnt room -for everybody on the All-Star team. Wise of St. Louis and Dave Giusti of Pittsburgh. Scaver was picked to play in the midsummer baseball classic a seventh straight year.

Osteen and Sutton are the only other 1973 selections who have seen All-Star Game action. Anderson chose six righthanders and just two lefties Osteen and Brewer. The Dodgers regulars drew little support from fans in the voting for All-Slar Game starting line-ups. The best showing was Bill Russells fifth place finish among the leagues shortstops. Anderson will announce the remainder of the National League squad Friday.

A team spokesman said late Wednesday night that the unhappy Lilly will fly back today to Thousand Oaks, where the team is training, with Tex Schramm, the clubs general manager. The spokesman, said, however, that Lilly has not reached a firm decision on whether to play another season in the NFL. Schramm and Lilly agreed to go back to the Cowboys training camp in California after meeting in Dallas twice Mednesday night. While departures wore worrying the Cowboy coaching staff, it was the return of running back Duane Thomas that was creating a stir in the training camp of the San Diego Chargers.

Coach Harland Svare lifted the suspension he had placed on the moody former Dallas Cowboy star when he failed to report on time Sunday. Svare said however that an undisclosed fine would stick despite Thomas return. Svare said Thomas phoned him Tuesday night and asked to come to camp. He showed up escorted by his agent Abner Haynes, a former Dallas Cowboy, and was welcomed by quarterback Johnny Unitas who offered his hand in welcome. Teammates are still waiting to welcome Larry Brown who is trying something that is a new first in the bizarre world of contract negotiations.

The 1972 NFL most valuable player has not reported to the Washington Redskins raining camp at Carlisle, Pa. because he said he wants an agreement on a multi-year contract, beginning with 1974, after his current three year pact ends. Dennis Homan announced that he was retiring from pro football, after three years at Dallas and two at Kansas City. The pass catcher was sidelined much of last season with a hamstring injury. Veteran running back Greg Jones left the San Francisco 49er camp, apparently ending his football career, while the 49ers placed eight other players on waivers.

The Cincinnati Bengals announced' they had waived rookie guard John Dampeer of Notre Dame, while defensive back Frank Harper, a rookie from Savannah State, was placed on waivers by the Baltimore Colts.
