Lincoln Mercury 6th & Ivy Phone' 2-8588 Columnists -Take Issue With Jackie By FRED DOWN New York k'U.R) Two New York sports columnists took is sue with Jackie Robinson today and declared the ex-Brooklyn Dodger star "received excellent treatment" from the New York press during his career. Joe Williams of the New York World Telegram and the Sun and Dan Parker of the New York Mirror commented on Rob inson's statement in Ottawa that some New York writers told him to his face they wouldn't write anything good about him. Robinson did not name the writ ers nor did he mention a paper. Williams and Parker made it plain they spoke for themselves, for their papers' sports staffs and for the New York press in general. "We certainly gave no such instructions to anyone on our paper I never heard of any thing like that before," said Wil liams. "I can't imagine anyone running a paper that way. We took Robinson as a ball player and recorded his accomplish ments at bat and on the field as such. We didn't go out of our way to create controversy. "I believe Jackie Robinson got a remarkable press," Wil liams added. "And I feel it is regrettable in view of the fine contribution he made that his present sniping should cost him some of the popularity he richly earned." "Jackie Robinson had the greatest press any ball player in New York ever had," said Park er. "I don't know who he is re ferring to. I know a lot of writ ers went to bat for Robinson when he became involved early in his career with Ben Chapman, then manager of the Phillies. The 38-year-old Robinson, still displaying his natural talent for stirring up controversy, conced ed in Canada, that, on the whole, he had, been treated well by the New York press. Then he said some writers told him it didn't pay to write nice things about him and that they would have to wait for controversial issues. "When they tell you that right in your face, you have to stop and think," Robinson said Tues day night. First Baptist On Top Alone in Church League YMCA MEN'S LEAGUE W. L. Pet.

Sstl kh Us 3gg T I A 5 NFL Players Push Effort Cleveland (U.R) The Nation al Football League Players as sociation, professing to have the support of 370 of the league's approximate 403 players, re newed its efforts today to gain recognition from NFL club own ers. "We have 304 actual signa tures and promises of 100 per cent support from the Pitts burgh Steelers and Los An geles Rams" the association's legal counsel Creighton Miller, said. "The owners wanted to see our strength and organization and signatures should provide that," Miller added. Miller, a Cleveland attorney and former Notre Dame football star, released the team-by-team lists of association members after several club owners and Commissioner Bert Bell took a "let's see" attitude towards the newly-formed players group. Owners Reject The owners flatly rejected the organization at their annual meeting, stating, "we will not recognize anyone as a bargain ing agent." Miller and the association's two player representatives. Norm Van Brocklin of the Los Angeles Rams and Kyle Rote of the New York Giants, then countered with a threat than an idustrial-type union might be forced on the owners. "Our next step has not been decided," Miller said, "but the owners' rejection has served to solidify our group."
