Soldier Eddie Stanley, a former boxer who managed in the 40's, told the governor's investigating committee that he took a fighter to Portland to box heavyweight Joe Kahut with orders to "get borne early. r Georgie Hansford, ex-California boxer, testified he was instructed to lose fights in Newark and Bait imore in 1945-46. Also, he said, he fought fixed fights in the West, 'McCey's InstnicUons' Both Stanley and Hansford testi fied they received instructions from Babe McCoy, the 300-pound matchmaker of the Olympic Aud itorium here. McCoy earlier in the week-long hearing was named by Tommy Campbell, former lightweight contender, as the man who gave instructions for him to lose fights to Art Aragon here and to Del Flanagan in Minneap olis. Hansford, 42. testified that when he went East in 1945 he was told to lose to Allie Stolz and Jimmy McCallister in the fights at New ark and Baltimore.

Stanley testified he had Instructions to throw the fight. ' Committee counsel asked Stan ley about Hughes, with the query: "You had him fight once in Portland. Who arranged for that fight?" "Babe McCoy arranged H," Stanley answered. "Hughes was to fight Joe Kahut, a local fighter. Well, to be fair, I shouldn't call him that. Ho was a pretty good fighter." Query Interrupts -Cox. started his next question, Did you instruct your fighter to the effect" but was interrupted by Stanley s answer: "I made it a custom not to tell fighters about the fight until about 30 minutes before they got into the ring and when we got to Port land I thought I'd (ell Hughes about it. I told him he was to get out of the fight early because I had been told to take the fighter up there and get home as quickly as possible. , "It wasn't any use telling him he couldn't win earlier. So when I did advise him, he got a little rambunctious. Then he quieted down. "And in the fourth round he took one in the eye and we got out of there." Uitructloas Told Cox asked, "Who gave you the instructions to get out of there early?" "Babe McCoy," Stanley an swered. Mamey said Ira Hughes was known as Pinky.
