Jake Adds New Twist To FAM-U Clinic
TALLAHASSEE, Fla.- There
is always something unusual of
different about the annual
coaching clinic held at Florida
A-M university in June V»d directed by Coach Jake Gaithcr.
This year Gaither has decided
to cut the number of his lectures
from 21 to 16 and add a bull
session for the coaches to shoot
the breeze about the past season
and to toss around the crying
towel when scheduled opponents
or sportswriters interview them
concerning prospects for the
coming season.
More than 100 coaches are expected to attend the clinic June
9-13. Chuck Mather, former
head coach of University of
Kansas and now backfield coach
of the Chicago Bears, has informed Gaither he will be in attendance again this year. Mather, a personal friend of Gaithcr, never misses a clinic.

WHAT HAS happened to the comeback of ex
heavyweight champion Essard Charles? Although he's been training since the beginning of
the year, Charles has yet to get into the ring.
Originally the former titleholder was scheduled
to have his first comebark bout April 29 io Texas
nowevcr, Charles' handlers couldn't make satisfactory finanrial arrangements. Maybe Ezz will
forget about his comeback if the story making
the rounds now materializes. Charles, who took
a leave of absence from his juvenile court job,
is reported in line for a better paying job with
the state.

THE NAT'L LEAGUE rare is proving to be of
the most unpredictable yet. Before the sea-
was   the   opinion   of most that Milwaukee, Los
son started
Angles.   St. Louis   and Cincinnati   would battle   it out   for the
championship. Now after more than six weeks of the season
three of the above teams have been burled ln the second division
most of the time.
The so-called second division teams have been the surprise
of the league. San Francisco, Pittsburgh and Chicago have replaced St. Louis, Los Angles and Cincinnati as first division
teams. Although the Braves have remained near the top they
havn't been without their troubles.
It was thought that wit hacquistion or pitcher Bob Rush, Milwaukee would be a sure winner. Now one of the Braves' see
righthanders, Bob Buhl, has developed a sore arm. Hank Aaron,
the league's most valuable player last year, hasn't been hitting
or driving in runs.
Maybe by mid-summer some changes wll be made, but It still
will be sn interesting race If Los Angles, St. Louis and Cincinnati
are to battle It out with the Braves.

rIE WORLD Boxing Committee has ordered heavyweight
thsmpion Floyd Patterson to defend his title by Sept. 30 or
lose it. The committee names Eddie Marhen of San Francisco,
Zora FoUcy of Chandler, Ariz., Willie Pastrano of Miami and
Roy Harris of Cut and Shoot, Tex., as top contenders. Cos
D'amsto, the gentleman wbo is supposed to guide the destiny
of Floyd, for some unknown reason saw red when the committee
demanded his man fight a worthy challenger.
We cannot understand or follow Cus' thinking. We always
thought fighting was a boxer's business and that boxing, like
all other competitive sports, was one in which one had to earn
money In as quick a time as possible because time will run out
on you.
Yet we find Patterson has fought so seldom most tit the
public cannot remember whom he fought or when.
He has not made any money so he cannot say, like Sugar Ray
Robinson, that it will cost him too much in taxes te fight this
year. In fart, he has not fought since 1957.
I in sure It cannot be rear that he cannot whip the challengers. From what I saw of Machen and Folley, Patterson could
take either of them without much trouble.'
We do not think Machen would stand a chance with him. Folley may give him trouble.
We have never seen either Harris or Pastrano on TV or ln
person, so we cannot say anything about them. However, boxing
experts do say there is another boy named Williams in the stable
with Harris who Is a better fighter than Harris, but the manager
is keeping him under wr.ips and promoting Harris because Harris Is the better drawing card for a title meet with Patterson.

THE YOUTH movement In the Cleveland Indians outfield and infield is over for the 1958 season. Larry Doby, sore shoulder and
all, is back in ccntcrfield for the Indians. Billy Harrel is the only
youngster still considered a regular with the exception of tha
pitching staff where the accent is really on youth. The Indians
now have four sepia regulars—Minnie Minoso in left-field, Doby
in center, Harrell either at short, second or third, and Jim Grant
on the mound.

WE HAVE noticed one flaw in the manners of Negro players in
organized baseball. They are not following tradition when
they become involved in rhubarbs on the diamond. It Is a re*
cognized fact that no one is supposed to get hit in a battle between baseball players in the major or top minor leagues. Since
the advent of the sepia players a man is in danger. Offhand ws
On recall that Charlie Neal of Brooklyn floored Don Hoak of
Cincinnati and Larry Doby, while with the White Sox, dropped
a Yankee and lajst week Big Luke Easter hit him a man In a
brawl between buffalo and Havana.
The only bronze gentleman who belives In following tradition
is Senor Ruben Gomez of the San Francisco Giants. Senor Gomez is famous for starting a battle and then retiring to a safer
position,*
