ALABAMA TRIBUNE Friday, January 11, 1957 7 Jackie Robinson To Assume New Job Around March 4th Jackie Closes Door On Comeback With The N. Y. Giants Club with the Dodgers last Dec. 13. The vast debt of gratitude that the Negro race owes Jackie Robinson can never fully be repaid.

His decision to quit baseball should be honored and respected. His admirable qualities on and off the playing field have keynoted the Golden Era of Sports. His dynamic play, rock 'em soc 'em competitive spirit and his flair for dramatic inspired play and his dynamic crusading spirit are epic and triumphant milestones in an era of unprecedented social change. By HOWARD SIGMAND NEW YORK (INS) Jackie Robinson said Tuesday that his decision to retire from Baseball is "irrevocable although his new employer left the door open for him to play this season with he New York Giants. I am closing the door.

Robinson declared emphatically. "Mv decision is final and no amount of money in the world will change It." The 38-vear-old former Brooklyn Dodger great is scheduled to start his new job as personnel manager of a New York restaurant chain on March I. He will be a vice president of the company and he has a two- year contract with a five-year opUon. William Black president of the Chock Full O' Nuts Chain, said he wanted Robinson to start in his new Job as soon as possible, "but if he wants to play for the Giants, I'd go along with him. Robinson paid tribute to the Giants president Horace Stoneham and vice-president Chub Feeney for the understanding they have shown" after getting him in a trade story leaked out," Robinson said He said he signed the contract with on Dec.

12. the day before he was traded to the Giants. I tried to get In touch with Bavasi to tell him my intentions and not to trade Randy Jackson, but his secretary said Buzzy was on way back to New York (run Chicago. When I learned of the trade I asked Mr. Feeney not to announce it until I got back from California to visit my parents.

He said he couldn't do that. It would get ont After the trade was annnuunced 1 didn't feel morally obligated to either the Dodgers or the Giants. But I did feel a moral obligation to Look magazine." Robinson said his highest salary in ten years with the Dodgers was about $422)00 In 1952 or 1953." He admitted he received "abouti $32,000 Inst season." His salary with the restaurant chain wasn't officially disclosed but it's estimated $30,000 and the fiery inflelder-outfielder declares he is very happy with it and that his new job offers a sense of security which he couldn't get in baseball HOUSTON. Texas The Texas iiuthera University Tigers won heir first big victory of the year they romped over Saint Yancis of Brooklyn in the f'nals and won the third annual NAIA Tip Off Basketball Tourney Championship in Omaha, Nebraska December 27-30. In the third game of the opening night of play TSU's cagers walloped Arkansas Tech 91-81, as three tourney records were set ia tne game.

The game set a record for most points by one team, for most points by both teams and for mas points by lasing team. Texas Southern held a two point lead at the half at 40-38, but opened up with 14 points the second half. The Tigers took the lead early in the first half 30-28. when Co-Captain Bennie Swain hit nine points In two minutes. Swain was high pointer with 27 points.

In the semi-finals TSU romped over Hemline (Minn.) 94-68. as Robert Bobbitt scored 24 points for high point man with Freddie Maura and Ambus Horn hitting 16 each.

the Tigers on top. Robert Bobbitt paced TSU victory with 21 points. Willie Taylor hit 17 points for second highest for the Tigers. Bennie Swain was named the most valuable player of the tourney, Maura and Bobbitt were named on the All-Tournament team. But I don't th nk I could have helped the Giants," he declared.

I'm too old. The Giants need a complete rebuilding job. They've lost too much. I certainly appreciate the wonderful things Willie Mays has said about me. "I don't think I could help Will either.

He doesn't need it. As I have said before Mays is potentially the best player In the game today. He has all the equipment and I couldn't teach him a thing. The few mistakes he may make will be coirected by experience. Robinson was still put out by what he termed Buzzy Bavasi's tumng on me." Bavasi, Dodger vice-president, accused the veteran player of "selling out his sports writing frlrnds by giving his story to a national maga-tine.

THE SPORTS GRILL SPORTS GRILL By PAT ROBINSON thousands he has seen, He was graduated from the City College of New York and started his newspaper career on the now defunct New York Morning World in 1905. In college Nat had some ambitions as an amateur boxer. He gave up the idea when he was knocked out with one punch by a lad who outweighed him 10 pounds. I didn't mind him knocking me out so much," Nat recalls, but I felt like a chump wheu 1 learned the fellow was a f-lrly well seasoned professional. "Anyhow, that was a lesson which taught me never to take anything or anybody in the fight game for granted.

And anyhow, it's been far more fun and much more profitable to be on tile outside of the ring looking in than to be on the inside getting knocked out of it. made 28 trips to England and the continent besides four extensive tours through South America South Africa and Asia and lias refereed bouts in most of the foreign spots. He has been decorated twice by the Italian government and once eacli by France the Argentine and Siam. Not long ago the King oi Siam made Nat a kight of the order of the White Elephant, the highest award an alien can get in Siam. There are thousands or books on fighting and wrestling many of them rare tomes in Nats private library which, he says, is tile largest in the world on boxing.

He has boxing trophies of all kinds in his private museum and he values the lot at more than $500,000. Over the years Nat has handed out 166 championship belts, each worth $350. He considers Jack Johnson the greatest fighter of all time and he lists the Luis Firpo-Jack Dempsey title fight as the most thrilling of the many NEW YORK (INS) Nat Fleischer world's leading authority on boxing, has made more money tut of the fight racket than 99 ner cent of the fighters who ever lived. The little editor-publisher of the Ring Record Book and Ring Magazine, Is working on his second million and hopes to make it long before he retires about 1982 Nat is 69 but he works longci and harder than anybody we know. He has written 53 books on boxing and boxers, wrestlers and wrestling and now Is working simultaneously on three others.

lie recently completed his autobiography, a little matter of 400,000 words, which he knocked off in his spare moments. In 52 years of newspaprr and magazine writing and editing, Nat undoubtedly has seen more fights in more places than anybody on earth. He has twice circled the glove, 1'aul Arixtn of the Philadelphia Warriors, and golfer Jack Burke, Jr. Next came Dale Lond who lilt homers in e'ght successive games ior the Pirates; Mantle; Sal Mag-lie, who was a life saver for the Dodgers; Don Ncwcombe, the National League's MVP; Don Larsen, who pitched that perfect world Series game for the Yanks, and Floyd Patterson, who won the heavyweight title. The winner for December Has not been announced but the chances are good it may be Frank Gifford, great halfback of the New York football Giants.

Every duffer who is forever struggling to break a hundred will insist that Burkes feat of winning both the Master and the PGA against the best professionals In the world rales tops in sports. Anybody who knows anything about baseball will point out that Mantle's feat is not duplicated every year. No more than is Burkes We are inclined to pick Mantle because his was a season long accomplishment which was of inestimable value to all his teammates while Burkes feat was of benefit only to himself. NEW YORK (INS) Would you say that leading the American league hi slugging percentage, batting average, home runs and runs batted in was a more noteworthy feat than winning the Masters Golf Tournament and the PGA Cliam-pionship in one year? In other words if you were handing nut an award to the outstanding professional athlete of the yegr would you give it to Mickey Man-lie of the Yankees or to Jack Burke Jr. of the touring golf fraternity? This question arose to plague us when asked to vote for the winner of the $10,000 Hickok Belt which goes to the top pro athlete each year.

In previous years, the winners were Phil Rizzuto and Allie Reynolds of the Yanks, the then heavy weight champion Rocky Marciano, golfer Ben Hogan, Willie Mays of the Giants and Otto Graham of the Cleveland Browns. Each month the sports -writers vote on an award for the pro athlete of the month and (hen are urged to pick the top man among the dozen thus selected. Early in 1956, the monthly winners were Bob Pettit of the St. Louis Hawks, jockey Eddie Arcaro. PREP SCHEDULE Tuesday, January 8 Archer vs.

President Eisenhower has named John Hay (Jock) Whitney millionaire sportsman financier, to former chairman of the Chase National Bank, as American Ambassador to Great Jackie as major league baseball's first Negro player and one of its greatest stare has announced his decision to quit the game" in an effort to gain security for his family." The controversial and explosive star who broke into organised baseball with Brooklyns farm club at Montreal in 1946 will join New York restaurant chain (Chock-Fnll-O-Nuts) as vice president in charge of personnel relations in March.

His stature in Negro life is assured. There has been no greater figure in American life than the former Brooklyn star. He is a strik-Vng contrast to Nat (King) Cole, Ethel Waters, Louis Armstrong and their ilk who pretend utter Innocence of the struggle of their people and who act coy on radio and TV when asked of the NA-ACP. 00O00 And I shudder especially when I read how Miss Waters feigned ignorance of the Negro struggle wmle admitting she hadn't worked in four years on the American stage. What a contrast is her viewpoint to that of Jackie.

the 56 Spingan Award winner, Robinson has been an active campaigner for human dignity through the NAACP and the National Council of Christians and Jews. His unceasing fight against deprival of essential liberties was born in the humiliation of Cairo Ga intensified in the teaming melting pot of Negro, Mexicans and Orientals in Los Angeles and fired by his ordeal of fire in cracking organized baseball's colorline. The bruises and scars of his struggle are etched on his soul. They are seared by the flames of the prejudiced world he faced in the International League and the grim horror which sent the Brooklyn Dodgers fleeing to the Domician Republic and to Panama for spring training back in the late forties when Americans were offended by his race. When I view this new Negro, deltoid of militancy, who 'refuses to get his boots soiled and who talks high brow on race relations, I cant help but reflect that Jackie a modern day Frederick Douglass, may have suffered in vain.

The anguish of his sacrifice, the brutality of his humiliation, and the wretched loneliness of his trail-blazing years have not yet penetrated American thinking. 00O00 We are too transquil over minority problems and the global struggle against colonialism and exploitation. As an ardent champion of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, Robinson has put to the lie test the thinking that fame and fortune goes to a mans head. Robinson has espoused every measure for f.rst class citizenship while denouncing the Paul Robeson line. His path has been the American way, a Stars and Stripes pathway that Robeson so tragically ignored.

What Jackie exemplies is the tradition of freedom, of fair play, of love the common man and every day decencies, which are fundamentally ingrained in every athlete and the bulk of the American people. Jackie has constantly warred on the medieval mentality of the racists. He has symbolized our tradition against injustice. His outspoken plea for right has been as as that of Tom Paine, the 'great pamphleteer and Benjamin Franklin whose we must all hang together or we shall hang separately challenge is as fervent today as it was in the years ago. Robinsons story is told in the current issue of Look magazine.

Writing under the title Why Im Quitting Baseball, Robinson said. 00O00 Baseball lias been awfully good to me. My memories are all good (but) I am quitting a a 1 1 for good and there shouldn't be any mystery about my reasons. Im 38 years old with a family to support. I've got to think of the future.

1 couldnt tell Mr. (Horace) Stoneham I was through with baseball forever because I had agreed tong ago to write this story exclusively for Look. And as a matter of fact I was working on the story when Mr. Stoneham called," to tell him of the trade. "At my age a man doesn't have much future In baseball and very little security Ive been thinking since I was 34 that I should be thinking of my future.

After you've reached yqur peak there's no sentiment in baseball. You start slipping and pretty soon theyre moving you around like a used car. You have r.o control over what happens to you. I dont want that. Robinson, the National League rookie of the year In 1947 and listed No.

3 among the leagues active lifetime hitters with a .311 average at the end of the 1956 season kept his decision well hidden. However he didn't owe the griping and carping Gotham press anything. They had heckled and riled him unces-jantly. ooOoo The Southern press had been vitrolic as witnessed by Bill Keefe's vindictive piece in the New Orleans Times Picayune in which he ac cused Robinson of stirring up ra cial strife in the South. Robinson talking with Jack Lcs coulie on the NBC Today Show said I didn't owe the Brooklyn Dodgers anything.

They had traded me. The greying, tempetuous star declared that he would do much better financially outside of baseball and emphasized nothing would bring me back" to the game in which he achieved national, and even international fame. Robinson was traded by the Dodgers to the New York Giants on Dec. 13, for southpaw Dick Littlefield and an estimated 830,000 in cash. He said he was going to do all he could to provide the Giants with spark.

He apparently said this on the theory that only a fool wont change his mind. As If to explode a myth, Robinson revealed that no one had ever talked with me about managing the Brooklyn farm at Montreal. He said he got one feeler to manage the Vancouver team of the Pacific Coast League but that a solid offer never materialized. Robinson, who was involved in many controversies during his career, left baseball entangled In another one with Bavasi. Bavasi said in effect that Robinson made fools of friendly baseball writers by selling his retirement story to Look and that he should have informed the Giants of his intentions to retire.

Robinson replied that all the writers traveling with the Dodgers knew of his deal with Look and that Bavasis remarks made him feel that one million dollars couldnt change his mind about returning to baseball. Robinson declared: I am very grateful for what baseball has done for me. However, it may be a sport to other people but its a great big business to me. I wouldnt play baseball again for iny amount of money. He said he expects to write a formal letter of retirement soon to National League President Warren Giles.

Robinson was a great competitor during his career. He helped the Dodgers to six pennants and one world championship. He joined the Dodgers in 1947 and became the first Negro to play in the majors when Branch Rickey promoted him to the Dodger varsity. He compiled a career batting average of .311. His best year came in 1949 -when he batted .342, drove in 124 runs and was voted the League's most valuable player.

Last year, he batted .275. He saw action down through the years at first base, second base and third and even spent some time in the oullield. U. S. Stars To Attend Atlanta 100 Per Cent Wrong Jamboree SIAC Basketball Schedule 22nd Annual All-Sports Event Jan.
