Sophomore Sensation
Called "Sugar Ray"
Of Basketball
New York City (ANP)—Tony
Jackson, the sophomore sensation
with St. John’s University was
described by his coach, Joe Lap
chick, this way:
"This is Sugar Ray Robinson
put into another area—the grace
ful feet, the beautiful body move
ment. the great hands like a boxer.
'This is the most talented bas
ketball player New York has had
since the Garden started. If this
was the 18.000 days they'd be
ripping up the seats to watch this
guy.”
Jackson was a prize catch for
St. John’s. He had been a sensa
tion in high school at Thomas
Jefferson in Broklyn. In 1957, he
capped a great season by a 54-
polnt performance in Madison
Square Garden in the public school
playoffs.
A Natural
For a half season last year, he
starred the Redmen’s freshman
five, averaging 25 points before
being sidelined to devote more
time to his studies.
Now as a varsity performer he
has been a star from the outset of
this season. His achievements are
impressive.
In the Eastern Athletic Confer
ence Holiday Festival tournament,
which St. John’s won, Jackson
scored 79 points in three games
and grabbed 48 rebounds. He was
acclaimed the tourney’s most val
uable player.
In his first 12 games this sea
son, he tallied 243 points for an
average of 20.3 a game. He led
the team in rebounds with 182, an
average of 15.2 a game. He has
been the team's individual high
scorer for the season with 33 points
in the Holiday Festival finals
against St. Joseph’s.
Jump Shot Artist
St. Joseph’s coach, Jack Ram-
sey, said after watching the 6-5
sophomore. "Jackson has the best
jump shot I have ever seen.”
That jump shot is something.
He gets most of his points on the
long jumper, even with a guard
right there with his hand in his
face. He tosses a soft shot from
as far out as any player, college
or pro.
A tremendous leaper, he goes
over men much taller to grab the
ball and lead a fast break.
Of his crack jump shot, Lap
chick says:
"I’ve never seen a greater jump
shot. And he has the ability to
hang and then shoot from the
hanging position. He takes one or
two steps to give him this awful
leap and then he's a 6-10 guy up
there.
“The soft shot is a big thing. A
soft shot, even if it's not quite
true, might hang on the rim long
enough to drop in. whereas a line
drive will bounce clear away from
the net. Tony can throw a soft
shot further than anybody I ever
saw.”
"He can go right through a pack
without touching anybody. He
does it with beautiful body move
ments, those supple shoulders.”
SPORTS
TAN STARS CAN HELP PIRATES
IN NATIONAL LEAGUE PENNANT RACE
(Editor’s Note: This is the first in a series of stories on the
i prospects of major league baseball teams with tan personnel.)
Chicago (ANP) —The Pittsburgh Pirates surprised the base
j ball world last season when they gave the Milwaukee Braves a
j stiff battle for the National League flag before the Braves won
out in September.
Some experts are making a long-shot choice of the Pirates
this year. With a little help, the club might supplant the Braves.
Tan players could contribute much
|to this accomplishment.
i Holdovers on the club include
[Roberto Clemente, the fine Puerto
Rican outfielder; Roma Mejias,
another outfielder, and Gene Baker,
a utility fielder.
Need Bench Strength
i Baker performed for the Chicago
| Cubs three full seasons before he
1 was traded to the Pirates in 1957.
\He is a skillful fielder and hits
I with some power. One of the Plr-
I ates’ weakness in the last half
I of the 1958 season was the lack of
j bench strength for the left side of
i the infield.
j R. C. Stevens was with the
j Pirates for 59 games last year,
batting .267. He spent the remain
der of the season with Salt Lake,
ending the year with a .276 aver
age in 64 games in the AAA com
petition. R. C., a power-hitting
first baseman was something of
a sensation in the early season
breaking several games with home
runs. But when his overall batting
tailed off. he was sent to the min
ors when the publicized Dick Stu
art was called up.
Jim Pendleton, another utility
performer, and Bennie Daniels, a
pitcher, both spent part of the 1958
j season at Forbes Field.
Two Newcomers
Strictly newcomers to the Pir
ates’ roster are Alvin Jackson, a
pitcher, and Joseph Christopher,
an outfielder.
Clemente, whom the Pirates
practically stole from the old
Brooklyn Dodgers in the draft
after the 1954 season, is the best
known of the tan players. Clem
ente, an outstanding fielder and
fast on the bases, batted .289 last
year. His shotgun arm has cut
down many runners trying to take
an extra base.
In his sophomore NL season.
Clemente batted .311. A batting
average approaching that this sea
son will enhance the Pirates’ chan
ces. But the Puerto Rican will miss
spring training because he Is cur
rently on a six-month military stint
with the marines.
Baker Will Steady Infield
Majias. who has been with the
Pirates off and on since 1955.
batted .268 last year. He has been
particularly valuable in filling for
ailing Pirates regulars in the out
field.
The other tan outfield aspirant
is a 23-year-old native of Virgin
Islands. Christopher, signed after
he participated in the National
Baseball Congress tournament in
Wichita, Kans., in 1954, has grad
ually moved up the ladder in the
Pirates' chain.
Last season, he played for Salt
Lake in the Pacific Coast League,
batting .327 in 132 games.
The Pirates’ infield should be
strengthened this season with Bak
er, the veteran utility player, re
turns to full duty. Baker was side
lined after the mid-1958 season
with torn ligaments in the knee.
Pendleton played with Columbus
of the International League, bat
ting .312 in '23 games. A handy
andy, Pendleton plays the infield
or outfield. He is also a threat as
a pinchhitter. The 33-year-old Pen
dleton is a veteran of several sea
sons in the majors, mainly with the
Braves.
Bucks High On Rookie Hurler
The Pirates are counting on
Daniels to come through in a big
way this season. He started last
campaign with the Pirates, but
was belted rather freely. He went
to Columbus, however, and turned
in a 14-won-6-lost record. His
earned run average was 2.31.
Pittsburgh writers believe that
Daniels will make up for his fail
ure when the bell rings for the
1959 season.
Jackson is trying to make the
jump from Class A Lincoln of the
now defunct Western League. He
won 18 and lost nine in leading the
league with a 2.07 earned run
mark. A southpaw, he struck out
162 batters in 31 games, including
29 starts.
The Wiley college product was
signed by the Pirates in 1955 and
since that time has pitched mainly
in the-Mexican League. He was the
most popular Lincoln player in
1958.

Plan To Film
Life Story Of
Henry Armstrong
By Harry LeVette
Hollywood. Calif. (ANP)—Allied
Artists Studios here has announc
ed plans for the filming of the life
story of Henry Armstrong, former
fistic great and boxing’s only
triple-crown champion. Armstrong
at one time held the featherweight,
lightweight, and welterweight tit
les simultaneously.
This reporter has been given the
inside track on the film, on which
shooting is to begin soon.
Sammy Dails Jr. To Play Lead
According to negotiations. Sam
my Davis Jr., the multi-talented
entertainer and star of the recent
film version of “Anna Lucasta”,
is being sought for the lead role.
The film is to be produced by Wil
liam F. Broidy.
In addition to Davis, a number
of Negro actors are to be used
in the cast. However, no mention
was made as to whether Arm
strong himself will be included.
The movie will be based on the
life story of Armstrong, known
in his ring hey-days as "Ham
merin’ Hank.”
Meanwhile, it was not immedi
ately known how much Armstrong
will receive from the movie rights.
However, the studio announced it
was working out an agreement
with Joseph Wallenstein, who owns
the motion picture rights to the
book on Armstrong’s life.
Armstrong May Be In Cast
This is the second attempt to do
the Armstrong story. Back in 1938,
Harry M. Popkin, now a theatre
magnate, tried to produce such a
picture. At the time Popkin was
producing pictures with all-colored
cast, but he planned to make the
Armstrong story Interracial by
casting Henry in the lead, and
Al Jolson. the singer, in the sup
porting role.
However, the deal fell through,
because, it was reported Arm
strong was not Interested in a
movie career, although Henry did
work in a few pictures, notably,
"The Pittsburgh Kid.” starring
former light-heavyweight champ.
Billy Conn.
Armstrong, now reportedly
broke, is a minister in Los An
geles. Recently, his wife divorced
him.
Congress Honors A.
Lincoln For First
Time In 60 Years
Chicago (ANP) The South
which has dominated the U. S.
Congress in both houses for nearly
100 years, slipped a little this
year. On Lincoln's birthday the
bourbons from below the Mason-
Dixon line actually permitted a
program to be staged in Congress
honoring Abraham Lincoln. The
last such program was held in 1866
when Congress was controlled by
Republicans and much of the South
was represented by Negro Con
gressmen who often had as their
running mates poor whites during
the "Reconstruction”.
Whether the South is softening
or whether they have become con
vinced that Lincoln freed the
slaves to save the country even
though as some historians say, "he
robbed them of the human beings
they used as beasts of burden,”
they relented and let the speeches
honoring the great Emancipator
go on.
This Congress even saw a bill
introduced by Senator Jacob K.
Javits (Rep., N.Y.), to make the
observance of Lincoln’s birthday a
legal holiday in the District of
Columbia and tn all federal of
fices. Through the years southern
congressmen have blocked it as an
official holiday. Indeed the whole
South refuses to recognize the 12th
of February as a legal holiday.
“If the public will support the
administration's efforts to elimin
ate all unnecessary spending, Con
gress will respond.”—Sen. Wallace

Out Story Of Negro
Boycott Of Busses
By James Atkins
In QUILL Magazine for February
In Birmingham, Alabama, they have boycotted the bus boy
eott. It has been boycotted by the newspapers, the wire services
by radio and television. It may even have been boycotted by th<
Negroes themselves. No one is s
A boycott of the city’s bui
For months, most newsmen kn
But as soon as it started, there
was a news blackout.
Industrial Birmingham has a
population of some 350,000 in the
citv and double that, metropolitan
In this large labor town, approxi
mately 40 per cent of the people
are Negroes. For all these 700.000
persons know, there maylbe a bus
boycott, or there may not be a bus
boycott.
The Negro papers, both local
and national, are reporting that a
boycott is in full progress. United
Press International reported the
first day of the boycott, stating
the boycott was on, but clammed
up after the first day. The As
sociated Press said there was no
story, because there is or was, no
boycott.
WBRC-TV reported that the boy
cott was on, but was getting off
to a slow start. As an observer, I
can say that some of the Negroes
are boycotting the buses, but most
of them still are riding.
What’s behind this story, or
lack of story?
Several radio, television, wire
service and newspaper editors got
together with someone in higher
circles and decided that if the boy
cott were not mentioned it would
go away. Or no news is good news.
Right now the Negro leaders are
amused because the news blackout
is giving them a chance to get the
boycott off on its slow start. If
the news was out that the boycott
wasn’t working, all would go back
to riding the buses.
The news is being controlled to
please a person, or group of per
sons. This is the worst form of
editorializing, the worst form of
controlling public opinion. It is
nothing new in Birmingham, or
most other cities. By leaving cer
tain stories out. the newspapers,
now monopolies in many cities, can
make an advertiser, or other per
son of power, happy.
When I worked on a Birming
ham paper, before going into tele
vision, I saw censorship rear its
ugly head several times. I heard
a manager of a television station
tell one of his station’s reporters
not to cover the riots at the Univ
ersity of Alabama. The riots were
inspired by the entrance of Negro
coed. Autherine Lucy. The report
er, who was at the scene to cover
a basketball game, was told to
ignore the story because coverage
would only stir up trouble. The
story was covered by the networks,
AP and every one else.
Somebody always gets wind
of the big stories. So the cen
sorship just made the local sta
tion look bad. Its own network
reported the story. At the paper
the same story was played down.
We also were told not to men
tion the Ku Klux Klan because
publicity would only help the
movement. As a result, the KKK
Is growing slowly in Alabama,
without a fight from its opposi
tion, because they don't know
the movement is underway.
At the paper, we also were told
to give little or no play to the ad
ventures of Asa (Ace) Carter, a
segregationist leader and crowd
swaying speaker. Also, Carter’s
name was not to appear in head
lines. Carter, a fiery and controver
sial character, had threatened to
impeach the governor, and also to
form bands of "Minutemen” to
protect white women.
These stories got little or no play
in the local papers. Then Carter
was arrested. The story broke
when a triple-shooting occurred
during a super-secret Ku Klux
Klan meeting, which was complete
with sabers and burning tapers
as sinister props. An argument,
over KKK funds, ended with three
men shot. Ace Carter was charged
with assault to murder, and made
headlines . . . big, black, bold head
lines. They had to break the rules
for such a story.

since they used the original story
when Carter was charged.
Singer Nat (King) Cole got the
semi-silent treatment in Birming
ham. The other treatment the Ne
gro singer got was worse. He was
attacked and beaten while singing
to a segregated audience at the
Birmingham Municipal Auditori
um.
Some New York papers bannered
the attack. Birmingham papers
played it like they would, say, a
good feature story. Somebody had
to be wrong. One. maybe both
papers, played the story wrong.
There can't be that much differ
ence in any story. This happens
time and time again . . , this cen
sorship by use of stories.
For instance, bombing stories
are soft-pedaled in Birmingham.
Birmingham is sometimes referred
to as the “Bomb-capital of the
nation.” Maybe that is why bomb
ings by the dozens are played down
in the papers. We have so many,
they’re not big news?
I'll be the first to admit that
racial troubles, if played up. or
magnified, can add fuel to the fire
of trouble. Yet. we come back to
a basic point. If one type of story
can be kept out of the news be
cause it’s unpleasant to a certain
group, then anything can be kept
out of the news. The Southern
segregationist’s theory is. if you
ignore racial trouble, it will go
away.
The Montgomery bus boycott
was successful, and did get more
than its share of publicity. But
had it not got coverage in local
and national press, the boycott
leaders would have printed their
own papers to give news of the
boycott.
The theory of no racial news is
good news, is an old one. It was
practiced during World War 11.
when editors were asked by the
government to play down any rac
ial trouble. Stories on racial in
cidents were censored when they
were turned in from overseas.
Most people, or organizations,
realize bad publicity will have an
adverse effect, and naturally want
to keep such publicity from being
distributed.
The duty reverts to the news
men. It's their job to let the people
know what's going on. To let them
know if something is wrong so it
can be corrected, or turn in their
press cards.
The United States has put up
roughly $1.6 billion in aid to Com
munist Yugoslavia since 1950.

LIGHTWEIGHT CHAMPION BROWN TAKES
VICTORY OVER JOHNNY BUSSO IN STRIDE;
IS ANXIOUS TO KEEP BUSY FIGHTING
Houston, Tex. (ANP) —Lightweight champion Joe Brown
won as expected last Wednesday night.
The lanky champion from Baton Rouge, La. deeisioned
game but outclassed Johnny Busso of Xew York in 15 rounds
before 11,033 fans—the largest crowd ever to see a fight in
Texas—in the Houston Coliseum in his sixth successful title de-
fense. Brown, a boxer-puncher
who packs KO wallop in both fists,
won the title from Bud Smith
in 1958. Since then he has defended
it against Smith. Orlando Zul
ueta. Joey Lopes. Ralph Dupas.
Kenny Lane, and Busso Only Lane
and Busso have escaped his knock

Avenged Loss
In winning, Brown avenged a
surprised loss to Busso in an over
weight, non-title bout in Miami
last Nov. 5. However. Brown found
Busso a durable challenger, al
though he won unanimously, clear

After the fight, Brown said he

who at 24. figured largely on his
ruggedness to wear the champ
down in the late rounds.
However, it was Busso who was
in trouble near the end. In the
14th, Brown nailed him with a
right uppercut which opened a
cut on his cheekbone.
Down In Ninth
From the outset. Brown was the
better boxer, stepping back out of
reach when Busso led with wild
rights, then countering to the body
and head. But he did not have his
combinations working for him as
in the Dupas fight. Coming in at
134 pounds to Busso's 135, he was
fast afoot, but his timing was off.
