FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1947 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE PAGE NINE | More Smells Arising From Boxing Rings New York, Feb. 14 (AP)--Sugar Ray Robinson, the welterweight champion, comes up before the New York State Athletic Commission to- day to explain a different kind of fight offer -- $25,000 not to fight-- while the district attorney and grand grand Jory ury widen their probes of general to new and dis- Sone territory -- Canada. The Harlem man appears at the Commission offices to tell his story of a ad bid he received last Au- gust not to make the 174 pound weight limit for his title tussle with then-champion Marty Servo as a means of causing cancellation of the bout, The bout never came off because Servo abdicated the throne and re- tired with an injured nose.. The general probe of the fight game delved deeper Into the hunt for undercover managers with crim- inal or gangster backgrounds who control fighters through "fronts". It was reported a key figure is one such behind-the-scenes pilot who steers the careers of a number of better-known boxers and who fled to Montreal, it is rumored, about three weeks ago, after the middle- weight title contender Rocky Gra- ziano revealed two $100,000 offers to throw fights. The district attorney was armed for his campaign with fresh infor- mation he received from Canadian lightweight champion Danny Webb, who made a voluntary trip from Montreal to answer questions yes- terday after he was informed by Inspector Danny Dowd of the prose- cutor's staff that "you have infor- mation we need in our probe." Dowd insisted there is a "definite link between Montreal and New York in the investigation into sport irregu- larities." Shortly after Webb told his story --he was "very helpful and most co-operative," the district attorney sald--the grand jury issued a sur- prise subpoena for Sammy Aaron- son, trainer of a large number of fighters, to appear before it Mon- day. In Montreal Webb's man- ager, Harry Sheppard, disclosed that Aaronson is his "New York repre- sentative," and that he had turned Webb over to the New Yorker to change his style of fighting. Webb's only United States ring appearances have been in four starts in Brook- lyn last year, Orono Midgets Eliminated By Ajax Pucksters Orono, Feb. 14--(Special)--Oro- no Midgets were eliminated from the Ontario Minor Hockey Associ- ation Midget "OC" playoffs last night at Orono when defeated by t + Alay vonnasters, 3-1.

Legion Discusses * Recreational [3 EVR] Facilities Discussion on the new Commune ity Recreation Association head- quarters being planned to serve the youth of Oshawa and the hundred- odd clubs and service organizations in the city highlighted the regular meeting of Branch 43, Canadian Le- gion last night. Major James MacBrien, who re- presented the C.R.A, tt the nesting spoke of the pressing need for a structure of this type in the city and asked the Legion for a financ- jal donation to help defer the cost of moving the building from the airport to its final resting place on Gibb Street. The secretary, G. F. Grant, ex- pressed the view Coat the Legion had been "left out in the cold" on the planning of this and other pro- jects in the city and that it had been consulted only when money or backing was required. It was the feeling of the meeting, however, that there was a need for such an undertaking and it was agreed to send two delegates to the annual meeting of the C.R.A, on February 28. The matter of the OC. R.A. was turned over to the execu- tive committee for further consid eration. Two new members were initiated at the meeting, John Kalar, and Goodchild, Attempts on the part of a com- mittee to organize a boat trip to either Rochester or Niagara Falls finally discontinued due to inde- cision as to which place to go. It was suggested by Bruce Miller that some form of indoor athletic facilities be made available to the younger members of the Legion other than "elbow bending." "Any suggestions to remedy this extrem.» ly poor situation would be greatly appreciated" he said. Dr. W. Bapty commended the idea as extremely good. He sugges- ted that the chairs could even be moved back in the room and box- ing bouts held on meeting nights This he said would most likely help to get the reluctant members out for the meetings. Ada R. Twilley of the sick com- mittee read her report and asked for names of sick members. Sor- row was expressed on the passing of Comrade G. Coping, one of the older members of the Legion for many years.

This was learned today from a reliable source who claimed he "knew" that president Larry Mac- Phail of the Yankees had sounded out Frank McKinney, owner of the Pittsburgh Pirates, to ask if Green- berg was for sale. The informant sald MacPhail of- fered the Pirates more money than they paid to Detroit Tigers club for (ireenherg's release. Neither Mac- Phail nor McKinney could be reached immediately for comment, Although Greenberg: would be the last one to say, it is no secret that the major leagues' home run king would jump at the chance to play in his home town New York. The big fellow is reluctant to play with the Pirates who paid $40,000 to the Tigers for him after the star slugger was waived out of the American League. WANTS NEW FLAG ON LORD'S STAND RED ONE AT THAT By LAWRENCE RAMBO London, Feb. 13 -- (Reuters)--, Sportsmen are chuckling over a suggestion that cricket be national- ized along the lines of the coal in- dustry. Nationalization was advocated in a magazine article after England dropped two humiliating matches to Australia in the Test series. The article said the Labor gov- ernment might be able to get the, country not only a plentiful and cheap supply of coal but first-class cricket players as well. Tongue-in- cheek, it said that the failure of the English side against Australia was caused by the failure of pri- vate enterprise to attract outstand- ing players. Cricketers east of the Suez, the article said, were becoming, con- vinced that the Mother Country was decadent when Britain could net choose a team from her 40,- 000,000 population capable of beat- ing one representing a country of 12,000,000. This sad state, it went on, "might be remedied when the red flag of the N.C.C.--National Cricket Cor- poration--flies over Lord's grand- stand in place of the discredited flag of the discredited Marylebone Cricket Club (governing body of cricket)." For Better Tennis Britain's tennis professionals, led by Davis Cup coach Dan Maskell, are working on plans which they hope may result in the country's best showing in Davis Cup tennis since the days of Fred Perry and Bunny Austin. The professionals seek to improve standards of play by standardima- tion of strokes, presumably through meetings and practices among the professicnals. Along with this, striving for a greater uniformity of play, the pro- fessionals have organized a winter course in tennis designed to im- prove their financial standards. As things stand now, the British ten- nis professional is lucky to earn as much as £500 ($2,000) a year. Expect International Games Formation of the North American Soccer Football Confederation, an- nounced recently, has British fans visualizing a series of international clashes with opponents across the Atlantic. Everything is still in the develop- ment stage, of course, but already it has been announced that the Scottish Football Association team will leave for North America at the end of the current Scottish season. It is hoped some games will be played in Canada. ORTSN LLACIES MARGERY MILLER The belief persists that only thoroughbred race horses are regis- tered with the jockey club or are listed in the American stud book. The fact is that the jockey club has accepted false registrations and the stud book has attributed fictional parentage to a number of horses, A breeder 'can give his best-look=- ing foals and best pedigrees he has, and get away with it if none of his hired hands talk. There is no way |. to prove he is lying. Sometimes mares which have died -have been listed as dams of foals that were registered with the jockey club. Veteran horsemen can remember cases of good horses whose parent- age was fictitionalized for entry in the stud book. False pedigrees have been the basis of many swindles. In fhe cases of horses which can run, they ere usually accepted as correct, however. The performance of a horse is the important thing, after all--not his family tree, Contrary to popular belief, the fotalisator, machine which flashes the win, place, and show bets on each horse in a race and the total money bet on each, does no cal- culating of prices. Such work must be done by men. Calculators, highly skilled in arithmetic, sit in a rocm behind the main betting line under the grand- stand. These men work in teams. Two figure the win price, two the place, and two the show. A third man is assigned the task of check- ing the prices of each team. Betting. figures are put on the totalisator board for the track fans to see every 90 seconds. The odds which should go with these figures are arrived at quickly by a calcu- lator. The odds must change every time the figures do, and the fig- ures change every 90 seconds. The human calculators work so fast and accurately that they ap- pear to have a mechanical effici- ency. One of the most prized posses- sions in sports is the Stanley Cup, symbolic of = professional hockey supremacy. Players have undergone physical discomfort and privations for the privilege of playing for it. To win the cup is the ultimate in achievem nt for a team. Because the cup is so highly re- garded, the belief has grown that it is of great monetary value. As a matter of fact Lord Stanley, who paid for it, contributed just $50. The cup was purchased for that sum in 1893. The esteem in which the cup is held is well illustrated by an occur- rence of the early 1900's. The Ot- tawa Silver Seven held the cup in 1903, 1904 and 1905. A band of crack hockey stars who found themselves in the Klondike after the gold rush decide 1 to go after the cup.
