Ole Satch Paige’S say ings are getting so famous what with advertising agencies using them about as if they were the words of Confucius or Benjamin Franklin or any other wise one. We ran across a full page adver tising in the New York Times no less, with the title streaming across “Never Look Back (Something might be gaining on you.)” Well they gave Satch the credit line right down front with the explanation that Satch’s say ings might be applied to staying young in advertising as well as in baseball. The Billy Daniel’s split up is most definite with pretty young Martha citing as the reason: “He’s not the one for me.” Seems such a pity for that marriage really “made’ Billy . . . Duke Ellington and Billie Holliday (what a twin bill) jointly re-opened the Ap pollo after its traditional summer airing. The Negro Year Book as writ ten by Tuskegee Institute profes sors got the biggest direct mail campaign any Negro book has ever rec ; ved. It’s a dandy vol ume and Tuskegee should be proud. Moreover, no race home should be without one. Phil Moore has penned a clev er that should have made quite a bit from not only his record company MGM but from Canada Dry for which there is being done quite a promotion campaign. The tune is called ‘Keep Cool (Gin and Quinac)” and it is not only going through the regular juke boxes and disc jockeys, but aggressive MGM is tying up with the Canada Dry people to push it to its bottlers, salespeople plus the taverns, and bars for its a plug for Canada Dry. Did Phil Moore get in on his? Since it was his tune, we only hope so. Ella Fitzgerald is in our town at the Paramount with George Shearing and an Errol Flynn flicker. Ella will again embark on the “Jazz at the Philharmonic” tour for you across the nation fan.

Horace Wilson of Or lando was second high in the scoring column for the winners with 10. Dennis Jefferson and Robert Russ of Famcee high hit for 13 and 11 points respectively to pace the offensive efforts of the North ern squad which was coached by Theodore “Shot” Montgomery.

This is all except one Hank Thompson who is in for a raise in salary. As the club’s most improved player and one of the top batters in the league, hustling Hank can certainly name a number of rea sons why he should get more than his present $13,500. He won’t have to bring up too many points, for PAGE ELEVEN the front office has already let it be known that it is agreeable to a raise for Hank. But on the rest of the club not only will they take cuts, but many a head wil roll in next year’s setup. The highly touted Bobby Thomson, who contributed so much to the ’sl miracle, will be up for trade. It seems that Skipper Durecher is centering his ’54 plans around the return of Willie Mays from the army and thereby can expend with the dis appointing Thomson. With Mays, Irvin and Thompson, listed as the untouchables plus Cuban pitcher Ruben Gomez, only the Negro members of the Giants can be as sured of remaining with the team.
