(ANP)—WiS-.i the end of the baseball season draw ing to a close and the world series coming up there is little to write about in connection with the nat ional pasttime. Yet, on the- sport? pages was a little item that did draw- this fan's attrition. Leroy • Satchel) Paige, the great ageless pitcher of the Si Loui; Browns, drew 20,072 fans to a .-in gle night game in Detroit between ■i sixth place club and an < igiu place team with lees than a week lemaining in the season These fans came out to see th> undent Paige, hurl against their somewhat tame Detroit Tin; The occasion also was the offui a!” 4(ith birthday ior Paige. Tin dote is Sept. 22, in case you want to remember next year. On the mound Purge did a beau tiful job of teaching the young sters how to throw a baseball, bui had to be pulled in the eighth rt - cause he had tired. TLe Browns won the game, and Paige had hi.- third victory of the season against 9 defeats, the most ior him in his live-year major league career. During the first seven frames, Paige gave up only one run and one hit. In the eighth he weaken ed and'gave up three straight sal lies. Don Larsen then was rushed to the mound and saved the tilt for the great man. The size of the crowd and his pitching performance was indeed a tribute to Paige and his per severance during the years.

ACIAI ISM IN SPORTS ' The post-war United States has I •oen a decided change in the al !.-tilde of the sports fathers in re gard to Negro athk-t*Before World War U. Negroes were vir tually limited in achievement to boxing and track and their own jx.ncrow variety in everything J else. There were two Negro baseball : leagues plus colored football, bas- { 1 ke'tbaU, track and anything you j ! want to name. Then came the a- j wakening after the war. Branch Rickey brought Jackie 1 Robinson to Brooklyn, and the newly formed now defunct All America Conference brought col ored players to pro football. Var ious teams started signing colored basketball stars, eventually forc ing the New York Rens to go out of business. RALEIGH The Falcons of - Saint Augustine’s College and their bitter cross-town, rivals, the ! Bears oil Shaw Unrvers'f y wi'l I eit in one of North Carolina’s | amn.ied yearly events. Coach Howard K. (Brutus) Wil sonis Rears are inexperienced inis year out the veteran mentor is .i>H discouraged. Shaw did not iroduce a football team last s-ea .on because of a shortage of play rs. He has only seven lettermen .n camp this but is count g on some highly-touted fresh •on talent to fill the gaps. Thirty candidates have reported Wilson in all this sensors. With .3 newcomers in the group. V/il on says “it will take a bit of raetteo before we can really tell vat kind ow talent we have. Wilson says he will operate ! ,-om a regular T-formation this I At The I Ringside -irtßwni- »rr»iii7ii-i7Tiiiy ■17*77-I, 1,, m— > AO CONTEST j It was truly no contest, the hea /weight championship match be ! ween Rocky Marciano and Ro an d LaStarza. Marciano, the Brockton Blockbuster, is still ihanipiun after an easy 11 -round an me, session with hopelessly ! ■-ut-clossed LaStarza. As this ringsider saw it | through an excellent big screen! j theatre national television show | ing at the Tivoli theatre in C'hica jsO LaStarza appeared to be a j doomed man awaiting the execu ! lion. The Rock was as fresh at the : nd of the fight as he was at the I beginning, j In the early rounds, Roland. • | hill spry, danced and ducked,; | deftly proving that Marciano war ! j ■ crude, clumsy man in the ring, j j Unfortunately, however, the chal- i | enger nad no punch to go with | his agility; therefore it was only i • a matter of time before he slowed ! up just enough to got tugged from ' j ;.>me to time. { t Round by round the champion; i 'rot-vti a little -harder, and landed | j j few more while the challenger | rcair.e ju.-.i a DU more cautious . | old strictly a defensive battler. It ! ••• a known fact that you cannot , t will a fight unless you throw pun j dies. As the time grew short, LaSlar > <a was <o busy trying to keep out \ •if the way of Marciano's sledge hammer blows that -he rarely ! darted an attack of his own. When he did, Rocky brushed the feeble ' blows aside ana kept coming in md pouring it on. When refree Ruby Goldstein j •stopped the “battle" in 1:3! of the ! j 11th round, LaStarza was a bleed- j jmg hulk, unquestionably a de- I seated man who did not belong in i ! the same ring with his opponent, i ! With the end of LaStarza and i the apparent decline of Ezzard ! Chrfr-les as a fighter, Marciano now has run out of legitimate - challengers. If Charles makes a i good comeback against Harold | Johnson in their rematch, then j he should get a shot at the crown : If he doesn't, then who should? j The heavyweight division is in ! □ very sad state these days when ! there is not even one youngster j around who promises to be a . future kingpir.. Many fans believe that colored athletes are beginning to hold their own in the money sports, not because of a sudden upsurge in the feelings for democracy but for the club owner’s weakening | pocket books. The hugh wartime crowds were beginning to taper oft, j In those early days of Negroes | iin baseball, the St. Louis Browns I | brought up Willard Marshall and j j Hank Thompson, but kept them ] only a month when the team j failed to draw larger crowds. The j Browns then let them go. Think of how much they would j be worth to the Browns today. ] Thompson is a star with the New i York Giants. Marshall is a top j minor league player j» the Texas i loop. \ Larger income probably was the j purpose in bringing up colored stars at first, but, today, teams also need more talent. No matter how ; many colored or any other race of players a team may have, it must produce a winner to make money ; Today, the Negro player .still is i not absolutely established in sports j | but he is approaching such a bar- , monious state. It will be a great day when a Negro in a sports arena is con sidered not a curio, but just a-! nother good athlete.

The K; ; .- . man who always has foup* ( JU 'lurries and who wins his battle, bv setting his own pace Basilio upset -.ris applecart by flooring him in the second round. !

As this ringsider sees it, the; Kid _wilt seek a middleweight title bout with the winner of the Oct. 21 title bout between Carl (Bobo! Olson and Rrit.dy Turpin. If he ; signs for such a match, the ring sider does not believe that Gave ; ; lian will ever defend the’ welted j bauble again.
