Advertising hucksters the grand canyons of New Yorks I Madison Avenue are looking in at perhaps the greatest shill of our times.

He played against us in our recent series In St. Louis like the pennant was at stake for his team. But hes given us trouble for three years now.

White To Coach Howard University Bisons Hanev, who reiuses to discuss any other train except his own Braves, nodaed his head when asked if he thought tile Cubs would be troublesome in the coming weeks. Look, weve got nine games with them, six at Wriglcy Field in Chicago. The way theyve been playing, they will be tough for anybody.

But Ive said all along that the team that will win the pennant will be the one that gets hot. Weve been hot and St. Louis and Brooklyn have been cold. But w-ith 41 games left, I'll reserve by opinions for a while. Hutchinson was quite high oil the dette and Gene Conley haven't been able to ma'ch that I wont make any comparisons but the Cubs are going to give the Braves a real rough time.

Bob Seheffing, manager of the Cubs, is more pleased with his teams fine hitting thin he with the pitching. He said: Our pitchmg nas been pretty good all season tut now our hit-ters have started to jell. It's no surprise to me that our players want to do well against the pennant contenders. After all. the team tnat wins the pennant must earn that right.

WASHINGTON, C-Dr. Fiank M.

Our first concern is to develop a good, first rate college second to none in our field" is the philosophy of NCC President Alfonso Elder.

We're interested In having excellent Jobs In the classrooms to stimulate our students to prepare themselves for full first class ritlzenship. If our teachers In phy steal education produce championship teams, we're proud, of course. However, our primary emphasis is the development of the students total personality. Like other teachers at NCC, Riddick received a nine percent salary increase on the first of the month. And, he was given faculty status This last step seems to mean his future at NCC Is secure, either as football coach or as teacher of biology.

NaUKing) Cole Show A Smash Hit On HBC-TV This weirdest, aU fish's ring history has been libeled with the most strident verbal carnage and clamor heaid since the Marquis of Queensbury blueprints modern day rules for the sport. Never before has boxing journ.il.stic wolf pack decried a fight with such aciduolous phiaseology. The man who is getting the heave-ho from the siiorts ri-ttng fraternity is ascetic-faced Jack Hurley, a strong-willed man v.ho has cold-shouldered all piotests n-gainst this turkey to end all tui-keys." Hurley has a blalc-fiee tecoid in boxing dating back to the 1920s It was Jack who originally cracked the old Madison Square Garden monopoly In 1934 by putting Barney Hoss Rnd Billy Pctrolle at the Bronx Coliseum.

This gaunt, plain-spoken man, known to close friends as "The Deacon, has withstood bitter protestations from such athletic gargan-tuas as Julius Helfand, New York State Athletic Commissioner; Floyd Stevens, president of the National Boxing Association; Dan Ferris, secretary-treasurer of the AAU and virtually every other top sports executive. Unfazed and still outspoken Hurley has plodded relentlessly onwards promoting this "amateur vs. pro spectacular. His dogged determination to put on the Patterson-Rade-macher mockery is perhaps a product of his intense frustration with the miserable state of boxing today. He Is quoted as saying "Practically every fight you see is a dog fight between stumblebums that should not be out of the curtiinraiser class.

He apparently is going to give the public the biggest pig In a poke ever sacked. This Patterson-Rademacher thing may well be that but every one has been given fair warning. Historians tell it was Hurley who started the International Boxing Clubs downfall by brilliantly dramatising its boycott of Harry Matthews. So eloquent was of IBCc evil deeds that It sparked a West Coast probe which spiralled almost into a U.S. Senate Investigation.

And it has been Hurley who has been the most persistent critic of the weekly coast-to-eoast TV show whicluhas brought fireside fights to the nations homes (As if more battles were needed in most of them.) John Henry Johnson Seeks Berth With Detroit Lions 3eorgici Increases Traffic Safety Posters CHICAGO Georgia is among nation's leaders in increasing the number of traffic safety posters displayed thus far in 1957, the outdoor Advertising Association of Uncrica. announced Thursday. Association members contribute the posters as part of the intensive Slow Down and Live safety cam-jatgn conducted each year in all 48 States. Reports of a reduction by 4C0 in the number of traffic accident deaths for the first six months of 1957 coincide with a national increase of 24 per cent in traffic safety posters donated tins year by the standardized outdoor advertising industry. The reduced death rate is attributed to "better traffic behavior resulting from stepped up activities by traffic safety authorities and cooperating agencies throughout the country, including the Outdoor Advertising Association.

Contributing to this national increase in safety posters, Georgia so far this year has displayed 173 posters, as compared with 72 for the entire yeai oi )95b Georgia is to be congratulated on the fine record it is making in traffic poster displays this year," said J. Willis Cantey Columbia, S. chairman of the Oildoor Advertising Associations traffic safety committee coach Johnson compiled a reinra of 12 wins. 27 losses and 2 ties Johnson will remain at the University as instructor in ph.vslca education and cearii of the varsltj baseball team. White comes to Howard from NewHaven, where he served as program director of the citys Community School Recreation Pro-i gram for tire past year.

Prior to accepting the New Haven position he spclnt four years is football coach and athletic duector at Elizabeth City (N. State Teach ers College. At the North Carolina school Whites teams compiled at 28-6-2 record, winning the Eastern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference champ.onslop each year durirg his tenure. While was also selected as EIAC Coach ol the Year for four consecutive years. A native oi Richmond, White holds the Bachelor of Science degree in physical education from the University of Indiana (1939).

Exclusive of service in the U. S. Army during World War II and his New Haven Job. White is a veteran of 18 years in the coaching profession. Tne 45-yoar-old mentor entered the coaching licld in 1939, serving as assistant coach to the late Henry A.

Kean at Kentucky State. He was named head coach at the Frankford, school in 1947 and served in that capacity for one year. His next two years were spent at Marylan dState College where he served as line coach under Vernon E. (Skip) McCain. (Editor's Note: This is another in the series of stories on tan players on teams in the National Football League.) CHICAGO (ANP) For several years the Detroit Lions have been criticized for what some observers contended was an allergy to the use of tan players.

It would not be accurate to report that Negro candidates didn't receive a chance with the Lions, but none has lasted the full route since the days of Bob Mann 'and Wally Triplett in 1950. For example, last year Walt Davis was retained the first two games of the regular season, then cut loose. The same fate has befallen other tan aspirants. This year It is freely predicted that the situation will change. During the off season tle Lions concocted a trade with the San Francisco Forty Niners that brought them a rugged back in the person of John Henry Johnson.

Johnson has been in the NFL since 1854. He played college football at St. Mary's (California) and Arizona State at Temple. In 1958, he was drafted by the Pittsburgh Steelers but played Canadian football, becoming the most valuable player his league.

The champ, wno bus been fighting as a pro since 1846, has won 65 of 89 bouts with eight draws and two no-contest decision. Lopes has engaged in 55 fights, winning 40 of them.

He has fought one draw In 48 starts. Sugar Ray Robinson Turns Into A Vicious Character When Hurt ff Believing that he would continue to play north of the border, the Steelers dealt him to the 49ers. As a halfback, Johnson was the second leading NFL ball carrier in his rookie year. He continaed a standout performer in the two succeeding seasons, even though he suffered a shoulder separation in 1955. Brooklyn Dodgers Seen As Dead, Defunct And Demised It is to the credit of this unbelievable huckster that he has wrangled $250,000 as a guarantee from South Georgia peanut growers.

It Is said that 22 of them backed the dill pickle because of their faith In Rademacher who has a spotless record. No Josses as a professional. No KO's and no draws. BY PAT ROBINSON NEW YORK, (INS) Sugar Ray Robinson, who normally is as suave as a bespatted and monocled diplomat, reveals that he turns into a vicious character when he is hurt. The veteran middleweight champion, who will defend his title against welterweight champion Carmen Basilio in Yankee Stadium Sept.

23, can give you many instances of how hr hanged from a meek lamb into a roaring lion once he was injured. You may recall that he was in danger of losing to Randy Turpin in then second bout when he suddenly loie loose with as vicious an attack as the ring ever saw. Within seconds Sugar Ray made a bloody mess of Turpins face and in almost no time at all he was again a world champion. torn him to ribbons that night. Robinson has a good point.

Over the years, we have seen good na-tured fighters go along, punching and blocking until tagged hard and then instantly turn Into raging demons. As Robinson is quick to point out its against all human nature for a man to be hurt badly and not react in some way. If you're hit, the natural reaction is to hit back, if you are able. We wonder how Robinson Is going ta react when Basilio tags him In the breadbasket, as Basilio is sure to do. The welter boss is going to concentrate on a boly attack and Robinson is not going to like that.

Nor will he take it for very long. Hell either step out to flatten Basilio in a hurry, or he will go down himself. Both boys have that killer instinct highly developed. This year. Coach George Wilson of the lions Intends to use Johnson as a fullback.

The 205-pounder is a powerful runner and Wilson believes that he will bolster the lions running attack considerably. Johnson also is a fine defensive back. With the 49ers, he was used frequently in this role. On the teams preseason roster this season also is Douglas Peters, a former UQLA star. A fulback in his college career, Peters was drafted by the lions in 1956 but also cast his lot in Canadian football.

He played for Vancouver. to fold under pressure. He said: Those fellows are getting a snitf of that nice $8,000 or $10,000 each for a World Series with the Yankees, and I cant think of a greater inducement for keeping a ball player an his toes. Or anybody else for that Sitting among the Dodgers oil their own bench before a game with the Giants, we got the impression that the Dodgers themselves feel they are through. Manager Wall Alston cautiously admits that some of his Dodgers are getting a trifle shopworn well they might.

Some of them have been around a long time. "We have had a long series of accidents, Alston says ruefully. Even so, we would hive been away out in front If some of our fellows had been hitting like they did last year. Ho didnt put the finger on anybody but a glance at the rererd will show that Roy Canipunella and Pcewee Reese are hitting 50 points NEW YORK, (LNS) If Chuck Dresseti were still in tiie National League, he could say as he said once of the Giants the Dodgers is dead. Yessir, dead, defunct, demised, or any other word you care to use to describe a club that has had it.

Even Bill Rigncy. manager of (he Giants surely can look on proceedings with an unprejudiced eye, shakes his head more in sorrow than in anger when be speaks of his old rivals from the wrong side of the Brooklyn Bridge. If the Braves dont win this year, theyll never win, says Bill. There aren't many games left to play and the Braves have a commanding lead. "Look at it this way: If, as cvciy-body says, the Yankees are a cinrii in their league, how can you figuie the Braves worse oil? As Rigncy secs it, the Braves are operating witli veteran pitchers who are going great and not likely 14-Year-Old Brooklyn Boy Wins Chest Crown CLEVELAND (INS) A 14 year old Brooklyn New York boy is the youngest person to ever hold the U.

News-Hungry Boston Buys "The Monitor" BOSTON, MASS (ANP) A curious thing occurred In Boston this past week end.

The Associated Press Whitney Martin walls: Who ljut a man with stripped gears in his head would dream of promoting a bout between the current Olympic champion and the current professional champion When the history of fight promotions is compiled this one will rate the No. i spot, from the point of sheer and success but Huiley would have had the temerity to go through with such a Nat Fleischer, editor of Ring Record Book, has been even more vituperative In his onslaughts against the bout: Fleischer thundered: "Sending Rademacher against Patterson with absolutely no professional experience is outrageous.

Rademacher can punch a bit with his right hand, but Is very crude. JSe's an ordinary 'letting hurt does something Co von, says the shrewd champion, and dont ever let anybody tell you differently.

FOOTBALL WASHINGTON, Tile College! Ail-Stars made a game ol it against the New York Giants the otlici night, in Chicago and partially quelled beefs that a good college all-star team is no match for a good professonal football eleven. The professionals aro getting the best of the series, it's true hut the college lads arc certainly not making it easy for them. In fact, the other night the All-Stars jumped olf to a lead and at half time the game was certainly even. Only In the second half did the pros get the upper hand and the final score, 22-12 does not represent a rout by any means. Its hard for any team of players recruited from different colleges to learn to work as a unit in the short time available far training prior to the pro-AU-Star clash each August.

The pro team has the advantage of having played together for several years or at least some of the players have Thus the All-Stars play at a disadvantage In this respect. Considering this, and the faot that the All-Stnr coaches have had very little tune to got acquainted with some of tlielr players and their various talents, it must be comcludtd that the college boys do a good job. Speaking of college lootball Oklahoma the nations mightiest in recent years is going to face a rugged ordeal in Pitt in the Sooners opening game. The Panthers would love to end that Oklahoma winning streak, which threatens to set all kind of records, and at Norman, Oklahoma, some people will tell you that the Sooner might be upset. But this kind of talk has been heard before and Its highly doubtful If even powerful Pittsburgh ran turn the trick against Bud Wilkinson's eleven.

Yet it may be an interesting game. may be the first big one of the Just beginning football season. And Oklahoma can't go on for ever. There must be an end to that win streak somewhere. Wilkinson lost some great players lust year that might hurt him and before the now team gets to functioning well, somebody like Pitt could always spring an upset, If the Sooners do get by the Panthers, the feeling among thoso at Normnn is that theyll probably go all 111 way apuin this year undefeated.

Dodger president Walter OMalley still playing the whole thing very close to the vest, is withholding a decision for a number of reasons. Firstly, Harold B. McClellan LA's negotiator with the Brooks, stated I am not quite ready to a concrete proposal to the Dodgers. is very, important in any of these arrangements that the plan be sound that it serve both the club and the community." Then. OMalley is awaiting the apparently pre-doomed report of New York's board of estimate on a proposed stadium a whopping $55, 000,000 hot potato which would cost the Dodgers a million dollar yearly rental.

Mayor Robert F. Wagner he hasn't given up hope of keeping the Dodgers In New York and he would be willing to look for "other" suitable sites for a new park. or more below their lifetime averages. Duke Snider wasnt hitting up to the All-Star game although he has been powdering the ball in the Inst lew weeks. When the big guns arc silenced there isnt much left, and the Dodger guns have been well spiked by the opposition all season long.

About tlie only problem Alston has now Is how to get hotel reservations In Milwaukee for (he World Series, ton.
