Boxing Probe
In California
Is Underway
By HAL WOOD
UPI Start Writer
SAN FRANCISCO (UPI)-The
probe on "gangland pressure" in
the boxing industry gets under
way here today pushed along
with the announcement by Gov.
Edmund G. (Pat) Brown that he
would have special investigators
assigned to study the problems
The state Athletic Commission
will conduct the hearings, which
are expected to feature Ralph
Gambina, who "bought in" on the
contract of heavyweight contender
Ruebcn Vargas for $500. -
The commission docs not have
anything listed on its agenda that
would call for further discussion
of the promoter Jackie Leonard
case. But Gov. Brown docs.
Leonard, who testified before
the commission last month that
Eastern mobstors, including
Frankie Carbo and Blinky Paler
mo, were trying to muscle into
the fight game, still is recover
ing from a beating he received
after the testimony. -
"I'm determined that that kind
of activity finds no place in Call
fornia," said Brown. "I'm going
to ask Atty. Gen. Stanley Mosk
to assign some of his investiga
tors to the athletic commission
to find the answers on who made
that attack on Leonard.'
The governor also said that he
would call in the U.S. Department
of Justice on the national aspects
of hoodlumism in boxing after the
state gets into the investigation.
On a 24 point commission hear
ing agenda, Gambina is slated to
be under discussion at least four
or five times. The commission
will consider fining him for con
duct at a recent match in Palm
Springs; ask him to clarify some
of his charges that "fighters op
posing a Sid Flaherty boxer in
San Francisco can't get an even
break"; ask him why Larry
Boardman, whom he manages
withdrew from the June 13 fight
in Los Angeles; and how he pur
chased an interest in Vargas for
$500.

Three-Run
Story For
By FRED DOWN
UPI Staff Writer
Shades of John McGraw and the
other fabled old Orioles, but did
you see how the modern Orioles
stormed into first place on a
three-run bunt?
Wee Willie Keeler himself never
aid down a more productive bunt
and old Wilbert (Uncle Robbie)
Robinson would have approved
the way Willie Tasby just kept on
runnin' while the Cleveland Indi
ans were throwing the ball where
their teammates weren't.
It all happened in the fifth in
ning Tuesday night when the fabu
lous bunt led to a 7-3 victory and
sent the Orioles soaring into a tie
with the Chicago White Sox for
the American League lead the
first time in the modern history of
the club it has occupied or shared
the top rung.
Of course, a couple of rabbit-
ball" homers by Gene - Woodling
and Chico Carrasquei did help out
but the big moment for the sec
ond largest crowd in Baltimore's
baseball history came when Paul
Richards told Tasby to bunt with
none out, two runners on vis
walks and the Indians leading,
3-2, in the fifth inning.' -
Beats Out Big Bunt
Tasby flying down that line like
Sam (Jimmy) Shcckard himself
beat it out for a single and both
runners scored to put the Orioles
in front, 4-3, when pitcher Mud
cat Grant threw the ball into right
field. That also let Tasby reach
third base and the not-so-Wcc
Willie streaked home when Rocky
Colavito threw wildly to the edge
of the stands. '
The Washington Senators gave
the Orioles an assist when they
topped the Whito Sox, 7-4. the
New York Yankees reached the
first division for the first time
since April 25 with a 13-inning,
9-8 victory over the Kansas City
Athletics and the Boston Red Sox

Set Clash Tonight
For Television
CHICAGO (UPI) Isaac Logart
of Cuba, a one-time top-ranked
welterweight, clashes tonight with
Garnet "Sugar" Hart of Philadel
phia, current holder of the No. 1
rating, in a televised lo-rounu
bout at the Chicago Stadium. .
Loeart. a veteran of . 74 fights
at 26 and listed 10th in the divi
sion; needs a victory or at least
a draw in his last chance to re;
main among the nation's "name"
fighters. . .
But Hart was favored to out
punch the crafty Cuban and so
lidify his position for a shot at
champion Don Jordan..
Hart is top-ranked by the Na
tional Boxing Assn., but Ring
Magazine puts him down as No.
2 welterweight, behind Virgil
Akins.
Hart's manager, Marty Stein,
said he "just can't see" Akins as
a possible challenger because of
his loss to Jordan in a previous
chance.
Logart, Stein said, should be
"the final step" to a title bout
with Jordan. '
