EX-TIGER CHARLIE NEAL FAST BECOMING A “GIANT KILLER” Champ Rusties To Bedside Os Hi Wife In California i MONTREAL ■AN'P' ThP on-1 again, off-again Archie Moore- : Yvon Durelle light, heavyweight ! title rematch, originally set for! July 15. has been set back to Aug 12 because of the illness of the champion’s wife. The postponement was annour.c- I ed after Moore interrupted his training here and hurried to San Diego. California, to he at his wife's bed side. Mrs Moore has undergone surgery for removal of a. non-malignant, mastoid tumor. She was reported to be recovering satisfactorily but Dr Kenneth Cales, her physician, asked Archie to come home.

H*s suc cessor, Sugar Lump’’ Bryant, has accepted a position in the public school system of Winston-Salem, which placed the Fayetteville coach ing job on the "open air market" for its third head coach m sous consecutive years. ARMSTRONG’S REIGN AS HEAD COACH Quite a contrast now in the head coaching job at the Fay etteville State School to what it was in the days when color and productive Weeks Thurber Armstrong, now a Rocky Mount medic was the head man in the athletic set-up at the Fayette ville institution. His athletic program was so full of interest and enthusiam until it attracted the attention of the National Basketball Association which fanally named the school as the site for the National High School Bas ketball Tournament. Tusk eg ee Institute's—all southern tournament- - offered competition for the national attraction, which sometimes convened on the same weekend; but Armstrong had his program so veil planned and with such far-reaching hospitality until the teams with the best, national ratings, always showed up at Fayetteville.

C.t Roosevelt Hi, Gary, Ind., and many other out-of-state teams Numerous North Carolina high schools showed up, by invitation, to the annual basketball festival—-Arcadia, Fayetteville, Durham, Eliza bethtown. Rocky Mount, Wilmington, Statesville, Laurinburg and Rmithfield, As soon as a team landed on the campus, the Armstrong • p&rsonality went into action. Confusion, disagreement, poor accommodations and bungling were ron-evistant. The moiodv from the Armstrong regime lingered on two or three years af ter his departure, hut missing links began to creep into the program until, the show lost its color and appeal. In short, Tennessee State College, in Nashville, Tenn.. took up the Arm strong idea and grabbed the national attraction wbre it is Mil] held, Incidentally. It was this same Armstrong that, started state tour naments for Negro high schools in North Carolina. Color, enthusiam.-. high pressure publicity, top-seeded hospitality and lons range athletic planning left the Fayetteville campus with Armstrong and a parade of three or four coaches have followed his leaving, TOP PITCHING STAFF OF ’29-’3O 31 The Ole Baltimore Black Sox had the top pitching staff in Negro baseball m the earl*' thirties—Bun Haves. Laymen Yokoley and Sat chel Paige. Hayes had been a sensation ar, Johnson C. Smith Univer sity where he had downed the great. Lavmon Yokoley of Livingstone College 4 out of seven games between 'he two schools that stagr** the. biggest Easter Monday baseball classic ever held in the South. Hayes had previously led Mary Potter High School baseball team to two state conference titles during his high school career. Hayes end Yokeley were the last great pitchers to perform in the Easier * Monday classic. Later they joined the pitching staff of the Baltimore Black Sox where they teamed with Satchel PJge to form one of the greatest pitching staffs in Negro baseball history. Yokeley was the first pitcher in North Carolina. College circles to hid" the ball behind his back before delivering to the batter. He was colorful and deceptive with blazing speed. Paige had been a sensation in the Northwest for years and when it was his turn to piteh in Bismark, North Dakota half of the business places would close their doors in order to give v all help a chtuv.ee to srp the Great raise perform When the Black Sox management secured the services of these three grat moundsmen, it was not surprising to most fans when the Sox won the Negro National League Championship. Hayes was a nemesis to the Homestead Grays, beating them all but, twice in ten years of National League competition. The great home-run hitting Josh Gib eon collected only one hit—a homerun —during the years he faced the Grays, while Josh was present. The great ‘‘Buck" Leonard, for seven teen years a firstbaseman for the Grays and a one-two homerun com bination with Gibson was never too effective on the offerings of Burnell "Bun" Hayes of Louisburg. Paige then, as even today, cared less than nothing about, any batter. The greatest, shortstop of them all, Dick Lunday, teamed uith Dick Warfield to form one of the greatest, keystone combinations to ever don a baseball diamond. They helped to make Hayes, Yokeley and Paige great, pitchers for the Bal timore Black Sox and the many teams they pe formed for thereafter.

He paused only long enough to get his hat and eoat. Asked about the title tight upon , arrival at San Diego he brushed off reporters. "All my fight plans are up ir, the air for the present,’’ he remarked. Recently, the Moore - Durelle fight was postponed after Archie j injured his heel doing road work. In the first fight in 1958, Moore won on an ll'h round knockout but had to survive four knock j downs. The fight- was later judged I the fight of the year. quarters. In this way, “police re inforcements can be sped to ihe scene without, attracting attent ion.” Os course, police spokesmen did not explain why unmarked cars suddenly appearing in Harlem and carrying white men, could not. be readily identified by Harlemites.

Bill Wright. 22-year-old collegian, be oama the first ten golfer over to win a major tournament In the other. Pumpsie Green became the first tan player over to play in a regularly scheduled major league game for the Boston Bed Son The feat of Wright in winning the national public links amateui title at Denver ranks on slightly, in historical terms, than did the trail-blazing accomplishments of Jackie Robinson in baseball and Althea Gibson in tennis Green’s debut with the Red Sox in Chicago meant that the last barrier among major lea gue teams had been overcome Before Boston called up the young infirkler from Minne apolis of the American Asso ciation, every other team in the American and National Leagues had had a* least one tan player on (heir roster, at one time or another. By winning the publinks championshp Wright, a good looking youngster from Seattle Wash., became eligible automati cally for the U S. Amateur tour ney in September at Colorado Springs, There is some doubt that he can make the tourney because of military commitment;;. But if he could- and won that title— there would be no question about, his statue in our eyes. A physical education major at Western Washington College in Bellingham. Wash., young Wright was playing in his first major tournament at Denver. But he played like a veteran in conquer ing Frank Campbell, a formeri pro and winner of 35 amateur i titles. Earlier, Wright had elimi nated the 1957 champion. Don Es sig 111. Indiannapolis. 1 up in the 436-hole semi finals Wright tripped Campbell, 3 and 2, and 2, using his fabu lous putting skill to compen sate for his mistakes with his wood and irons. But his best putting exhibition was against Essis when he had 2b one-put holes and used only 48 strokes on the green in the 36 holes. Campbell, incidentally, was a pro for five years at a club in Birmingham, Ala., having been reinstated in 1953. Just think, in Alabama Wright would be hard put to find a golf course on! which to play, much less think of playing Campbell. | Green had been the center of | controversy last spring after the Red Sox termed him out The in- I fielder had been impressive in spring training and it. was thought that the Red Sox had made short i shrift of him. The Boston NAACP charged the Red Sox management with dis crimination against ten players, noting that Green was not housed with his teammates at Scottsdale Arizona, where the club trained. In the end. the controversy died | down after a hearing before the ! 1 Massachusetts Commission A ! gainst Discrimination absolved the ball club.

BSLL WRIGHT FIRST NEGRO TO WIN NATIONAL GOLF PLAY DENVER, Col i'ANP) Bill Wright., a 23-year-old senior at Western Washington university, last week became the first Negro to win the National Public Links Golf tournament with a brilliant victory over Frank Campbell of Jacksonville, Fla.
