Meteoric Billy
Arnold Defeated
In Erratic Bout
By Jack Cuddy
(United freM Staff Corraponilent)
New York. March 10 (in It
may not have been what the doc
tor ordered, but that's what he
got. Dr. Michael Trimianl's sensa
tional young welterweight pros
pect, Billy Arnold, was belted out
in the third round at Madison
Square Garden last night.
Poor handling was more to
blame for this knockout than
Rocky Graziano's wild-swinging
fists. It was a shame to have this
promising young negro fighting
in a style that was made to order
for Graziano, when oraziano
would have been made to order
for Arnold if the Philadelphia
youngster had been permitted to
pursue his usual boring-m tactics.
Fatal Mistake Made
Apparently Arnold's handlers
sent him In to fight at long range
with the roundhouse swinger
from Brooklyn. They had Billy
' operating from a semi-upright
stance, instead of from his usual
bob and weave. And he was pull
ing away from punches, instead
of getting inside of them a fatal
mistake against a swinger with a
kick.
He was moving in and out, in
stead of pressing forward. He's
just a high school kid, and he fol
lows instructions to the letter
from men who are supposed to
know their business.
Well Billy of the upright
stance stepped in with a left jab,
and was moving out pulling
away from a countering round
house right, when the roof fell in.
That palooka pull-away put his
chin directly in the path of the
right, and it was curtains al
though the referee didn't stop the
bout until Arnold had been floor
ed three times.
Given Wrong Directions
It was apparent in the first
round that the 19-year-old negro
knockout artist was operating un
der stupid directions. He was
"feeling out" Graziano staying
away from him boxing with him
instead of moving inside.
Arnold lost the first round by a
wide margin. His handlers appar
ently told Billy to begin fighting
in the second round, because he
gave Graziano a bad battering in
that session, despite his changed
style. Kockv was befuddled and
missing. But he didn't miss in the
third round. And the kid who had
belted out 28 men in 32 pro fights,
suffered his first kayo.
Trainer Given Credit
It was a needless knockout, and
It would not have happened we
are sure if Dr. Trimiani and his
recently returned managerial
partner, Bob LaGuardia, had kept
(he trainer who was responsible
for Arnold's meteoric career. We
mean trainer "Young Joe" Wol
cott, who had nursed Billy along
from his amateur days.
Just who was the "brain guy"
in the corner last night, we do
not know. But the new trainer
must have had a hand in bringing
Billy Into the ring scaling nearly
150 pounds, Instead of his usual
fighting weight of 144. Although
Arnold is a growing boy, we can't
understand the wisdom of letting

series which will decide who
is to face the Seattle Ironmcn for

In the first period but poured in
six goals In the second period and
four in the third to complete the
rout.

Police Crack Down
On Garden Bets
New York, March 10 (IP Twen
ty men were held on gambling
charges today in the wake of a
police crackdown on betting at
Madison Square Garden.
More than 100 officers were as
signed to the Garden for the Fri
day night fight card. The squad,
ordered by Mayor Fiorello La
Guardia to clamp down on all
gambling, included 35 detectives
and 10 police-women.
At the same time all of the
Garden's telephones were report
ed out of order. Police said thfey
knew nothing about the tele
phones and that it was coincidence
that "tin horn gamblers" had no
way of taking or making bets
outside of the Garden.
In addition to the absence of
phone service, ticket-takers re
fused to pass out return stubs to
men who wanted to leave the
Garden and return.
Two of the men arrested pro
tested they were old friends and
had merely made a "small bet"
between themselves. They were
taken in with the others.
Medford Erases
Cowboys' Lead
Medford, Ore., March 10 ni'i
The Medford Tigers kept their
undefeated hoop record intact and
added their name to the list of
state tournament entries by scor
ing a 53-126 victory over Prineville,
last night on the Medford court.
It was the second win of the
inter-district playoff and com
bined with Thursday night's 59-18
victory entitles the Tigers to a
state tourney ticket.
The Prineville team made a
fighting but futile bid for it last
night when Guard Herbert Henry
paced an attack that put the
Prineville club out in front 8-7 at
the end of the first quarter.
Medford came back to snatch
the lead at the opening of the
second period and were never
headed as they held a 21-15 half
time advantage and a 39-19 edge
at the end of the third quarter.
Screws, bolts and other thread
ed fasteners hold better when
they fit precisely into the thread
ed holes because there is more
thread friction.
Bend
Abstract Co.
In This Corner
By Mickey Myrlck
Proof of the power of the Med
ford Tigers (which the Lava Bears
realized all along) is in the scores
of their games against Prineville
in tourney play Thursday and in
day nights 59-18 and 53-26.
As expected the Cowboys made
a good showing in the early min
utes of play, holding an 8-7 lead
over the Tigers at the end of the
first frame last night, but lacked
the power to stem the Tigers'
continuous attack.
So the Tigers are assured a
place in state tournament play,
and with local hopes blasted many
Central Oregonians will be pulling
for the southerners to win the
the state championship.
Senate bill 273, which would
tack an extra 25 cents onto each
hunting and fishing license to pay
the dealer for sc..:ng the same,
came out of the senate fish and
game committee with a "Do not
pass" recommendation.
Based on last year's license
sales, the extra 25 cents per license
would net dealers 557,033.00 in a
year, or just $306.52 less than the
total administration expense of
tne state game commission last
year, including the salaries of the
state game supervisor, assistant
supervisor and all office expenses.
Most sportsmen who have stood
in line waiting for a license agree
that the dealer should receive some
remuneration for his time, but
think that 25 cents per license is
a bit high, and that the cost should
be borne by the game commission
and included in the original price
of the license.
Fisherman can go forth with
more confidence this year, after
reading the state game commis
sion's report that more than 2,700,
000 fish were released last year In
Deschutes watershed waters. This
is more than twice the number
estimated by scattered and unoffi
cial reports.
However, It is still far short of
what fishermen would like to see
planted, and short also of the
number the commission would
like to plant, and will plant when
manpower, transportation, feed,
will permit.
The new ditch screen bill (SB
292), given "do pass" approval by
the senate fish and game commit
tee, will not materially affect lo
cal irrigationists.
Designed primarily as a con
servation measure, the bill will
authorize the state game commis
sion to install screens on smaller
ditches (up to 8-feet) at its own
expense. No such small ditches
exist in Central Oregon. j
The bill also provides specified
penalties for unauthorized open
ing of screens on irrigation ditch-;
es, affording better protection '
against a "careless" group which
is fortunately a very small minor- j
ity.
Most Central Oregon farmers;
are sportsmen themselves, and
will be glad to see this protection
to game fish authorized. I

Dear Folks:
Being one of you so recently that I'm still a
stranger to most of you, it would never do for
me to start telling you what to do.
... But I'm sure you wouldn't mind if I remind
you of the Red Cross drive now in progress.
I'm proud of the way a lot of you have dug
down to give us a good start toward our quota,
which is little enough for a county like this.
And I'm sure that many more of you are in
tending to give and generously.
The only thing I want to suggest is that you
do it right away help us get over the top
Monday, if you can.
Yours for cooperation,
