[Ads-l] Further Antedating of "Props" (Due Respect)

[Shapiro, Fred]

Fantastic, Garson.  It's really nice for Aretha Franklin and Hank Aaron to both get their "props" in connection with the word "props."

Great work, Ben, Fred, and everyone. Here is a match with the desired
sense in April 1974. The extended excerpt shows the context. The
quotation marks indicate that the journalist believed 'props' would be
new to many of the newspaper readers.

Date: April 9, 1974
Newspaper: Morning Star
Newspaper Location: Rockford, Illinois
Article: Black, whites cheer Aaron and historic home run blast
Author: Mike Imrem

[Begin excerpt
"This has never been a black-white thing with me," said Chester
Holliman in the V-High Club, where all the patrons were black.

"To me, it's always been 'may the best man win.' Babe Ruth was one
hellacious ballplayer, and now Hank Aaron has proven he's just a
little bit better.

"But it would've been the same to me if it was Mickey Mantle or Roger
Maris. If the dude is good, give him his 'props.' If a man is
qualified, you have to give him credit no matter what color he is."
[End excerpt]
