Some of the fans in Atlanta
may call Hank Aaron a
“nigger”, but the folks in
Wisconsin are wild about him.
Gw. Patrick Lucey will
proclaim Aug. 6 as “Hank
Aaron Day” so baseball fans in
his state can honor the
superstar. The Atlanta Braves
outfielder, who is only 21
home runs short of tying Babe
Ruth’s record 714, spent the
first 11 years of his major
league career in Milwaukee.

When Joe Frazier showed up
in London’s Leicester Square
last week to get his work
permit to fight Britain’s Joe
Bugner, he looked more like a
chic Dapper Dan than a former
world heavyweight boxing
champ.
Attired in matching silver
grey and black knickers and
Big Apple hat and a black shirt
open to the navel, Frazier had
some words for Bugner’s
manager, Andy Smith, who
wanted the former champ to
have his beard because it might
serve as a cushion for the blows
to the chin Bugner hopes to
land.
The secretary of the Britist
Boxing Board of Control
consulted his rule book, which
states that a boxer entering the

ATLANTA (PRN) - Men
in professional baseball
frequently have opportunites
to make impressions on
youngsters, but few have the
opportunity to make as lasting
an impression as Clyde King,
the special assistant to Braves
vice president Eddie
. Robinson.
| Three years ago, when
Clyde was manager of the San
Francisco Giants, he had a
message waiting for him in his
office after a Sunday
doubleheader. The message
said that a youngster was on
the verge of death in the
Stanford University Hospital
and was very much of a Giants
fan. Chances were that the
youngster had only hours to
live. King called his wife and
said he would be late for
dinner and he headed for the
hospital. He met the youngster
and gave him a Giants cap, and
left the hospital being told
that the boy would not live
through the night.
“It was a great feeling to
see the boy’s eyes light up
when we gave him that cap.”
King said recently, “And it
ring must have “a clean and
smart condition.” He then said
Frazier’s beard looked
“Neat...but if it grows any
more he (Frazier) will have to
trim it.”
Bugner’s manager then
agreed to a suggestion that
Frazier’s whiskers be inspected
at the weigh-in and trimmed if
considered necessary.
*****
Charges of hitting a
policeman and resisting arrest
against Isiah Robertson, the
tough Los Angeles’ Rams
linebacker, have been dropped
due to a “lack of intent to
commit harm.” Robertson was

was an even greater feeling
when the boy called me a
month later to tell me he was
coming to a Giants game.”
The boy lived on with his
deadly disease until recently,
and when King was told by
the youngster’s parents that
their boy had died, the parents
noted that the last request of
the young boy was to make
sure he was buried with the
Giants cap that King had given
him.
King acts are not unusual
for Clyde King. He is a
dynamic Christian layman and
speaker, who has touched the
lives of many young people he
has worked with.
“I can’t say enough good
things about Mr. King,” Braves
pitcher Tom House said
recently. “When he was the
manager at Richmond (Braves’
Triple A farm team) and I was
pitching there, I was struggling
and it seemed like I’d never
make it to the big leagues. One
day Mr. King tossed me the
ball and said, ‘Stick with it
kid, you’re going to the big
leagues.’ Six weeks later I was
pitching for Atlanta.”
King, who is noted for his
ability to develop pitchers, has
an uncanny eye for spotting
talent.
When he was pitching
coach for Pittsburgh, a
27-year-old mill league pitcher
was invited to try out for the
team in Spring Training. The
age of 27 is incredibly old for
arrested May 19 when police
responded to a complaint of a
fight at a party in Huntington
Beach, Calif.

University of Arizona
basketball coach Fred
Snowden and his wife May
won a temporary victory last
week when a federal judge
restrained a homebuilder from
selling a house until the
Snowdens’ charge of racial
discrimination is heard in
court.
Snowden, the first black
head coach of a major
university in a major
conference, contended the
builder refused to sell the
$49,500 house to him because
of race and filed a civil
complaint against the builder
last May 8.
The judge ruled that the
Snowdens would be harmed if
the house were sold before the
court action is concluded, but
that the builder would not
suffer any hardship.

Jesse Owens In
'36 Olympics
Named Top Sports
Story Os Past
75 Years
PURCHASE, N.Y., June 27,
1973 -- Jesse Owens’ winning
four gold medals and the
treatment he received at the
1936 Olympics was the most
important sports story of the
past 75 years, according to a
nationwide poll of sports
writers and broadcasters
recently completed by
Pepsi-Cola Company.
The poll was conducted by
Pepsi-Cola as part of its 75th
Anniversary celebration. Its
objective was to determine the
ten top sports events of the
past three-quarters of a
century.
The ten winning events in
the Pepsi-Cola Sports Poll
were:
Position 1; Jesse Ownes 4
Gold Medals & Treatment ‘36
Olympics, 112 votes.
Position 2; Roger Bannister’s
4-Minute Mile, 105 votes.
Position 3; Bobby
Thomson’s ‘sl Series Home
Run, 93 votes.
Position 4; Mark Spitz Wins
7 Gold Medals ‘72 Olympics,
85 votes.
Position 5; UCLA Basketball
Dynasty, 67 votes.
Position 6; Don Larson’s
Perfect Series Game ‘56, 61
a man to break in to
professional baseball.
However, this pitcher had an
extremely good arm and
unbeatable mill league record.
The name of the pitcher
was Woody Fryman, who is
now pitching for the Detroit
Tigers, and in Fryman’s first
Spring Training game, he was
overpowering. For the first
two innings, no one got on
base. Finally, in the third
inning, he walked a batter; the
batter stole second base off
Fryman; and he then stole
third base, again off the
pitcher. At that point, King
went to the mound to talk to
his pitcher.
“Don’t you know how to
hold a runner on base?” King
asked.
“I’ve never had a runner on
base before,” Fryman
answered.
TEPEE TOPICS: One of
the busiest men at Atlanta
Stadium these days is Braves
Group Sales Director Dwayne
Spitzer. Spitzer, who once
attended seminary to become
a Methodist minister, now
preaches on the entertainment
of big league baseball as an
ideal outing for churches, civic
clubs, family groups or
whatever.
Dwayne will arrange seating
for groups in the best possible
locations for any Braves home
game, and groups of 25 or
more will be welcomed on the
Fan-O-Gram board during the
game. Groups of 100 or more
receive a special plaque from
the Braves in a pre-game
presentation on the field.
To arrange a group outing
at a Braves game, contact
Dwayne Spitzer by calling

Top Wrestler Now
Marine Lieutenant
■ ||jj
One of the top collegiate
wrestlers in the country, a
young black named Lloyd
Weldon “Butch” Keaser, is
learning the “basics” all over
again...this time as a Marine.
Keaser, who graduated from
the Naval Academy and elected
to join the Marines as a second
lieutenant, is currently
undergoing training at the
Corps’ Basic School at
Quantico, Virginia.
In wrestling circles,
Midshipman Keaser was a
well-known name. Raised
outside of Baltimore in the
small town of Pumphrey about
15 miles from the Academy,
Keaser was a wrestling terror in
high school. Competing for the
Brooklyn Park (Md.) High
School, he was the District
Champion for two years nad
the County Champion for
three years.
At the Naval Academy, he
was in the 149 lb. weight class.
As a junior, Keaser won the
coveted “Thompson Trophy”
award for doing the most to
promote athletics at the
Academy. In his senior year, he
received the Naval Academy’s
distinquiShed Athletic’s
Association Sword, given to
the graduating senior who has
excelled most in sports while at
Annapolis.

In 1971, he was ranked as .
the fourth best wrestler in the
nation. A year later, he had
moved up to third. For three
consecutive years, Keaser was
noted as “Best in the East” by
the NCAA and was an alternate
for the Olympic games in
Munich.
Now a Marine second
lieutenant, Keaser is still in an
atmosphere not unlike college,
practicing the skills nad
knowledge required of a
Marine officer.
More and more blacks and
other minorities are joining the
Corps as officers. Young
peo p1 e seek in g more
information about Marine
Officer Programs should
contact their local Marine
Corps recruiters.
Like Keaser, they will be
directed toward the Marine
Basic School, if accepted. At
any given time, the enrollment
of the school is approximately
1,250, with major emphasis
being placed on teaching these
new officers how to lead
others.
