Robinson Claims Injured
Knee Won't Keep Him Out
Stamford, Conn. (U.R)
Jackie Robinson propped his ail
ing left knee on a cushion at
his home Saturday and vigor
ously denied he all through with
baseball although admitting he
has no idea how long it will take
before he is able to return to
the Brooklyn Dodgers' line-up.
"There's no us kidding my
self," said Robinson, looking
down at his puffed up knee,
"the pain as there and naturally
I'm concerned. But I definitely
don't feel this is the end of the
road for me."
Reports that the 36-year-old
Robinson would .announce his
retirement cropped up immed
iately after he swung at a pitch
during batting practice Friday,
fell to the ground in pain and
had to be assisted from the field
Anxious To Play
The injury occurred shortly
after the Dodgers announced
they were bringing up right
handed pitchers Don Bessent
and Roger Craig from their
farm system and sending pitch
er Jim Hughes and outfielder
Bob BorkoWski to St. Paul of
the American association.
"No one seems to have any
idea how long I'll be on the
sidelines," Robinson said, "and
frankly I don't know how long
I'll be out myself. I think this
whole thing came about because
I tried to get back into the line
ud too soon. I was anxious to
play and help the club."

Pennsylvania Code May
Result In I BC Boycott
Chicago U.R) The Inter
national Boxing commission
made it clear Saturday it will
boycott Pennsylvania if the state
passes its new' boxing code.
Truman Gibson, secretary of
the IBC, said in a telegram he
sent to the governor of Pennsyl
vania, George M.. Leader, that
the IBC will stay out'of Pennsyl
vania if the new code becomes
law. ''
Gibson said the IBC will not
stage any fights in a state in
which a license of one of its
fighters or . promoters , can be
suspended by a commission
without notice or a hearing prior
to the suspension.
Hearing After Suspension
: Under the proposed Pennsyl
vania code, the State . Boxing
commission could suspend any
"licensed fighter, manager, pro
moter or handler without a
hearing" beforehand. The code
would allow a hearing only after
the suspension.
"This is the crux of the whole
matter," Qibson said. -
"In these circumstances, in the
event the IBC cooperated in the
future presentation of a Penn
sylvania fight, its license would
be jeopardized by the acts of
cooperating with local promot
ers of their employees for acts
for which no one in the IBC
would be responsible," Gibson
said in his telegram to Leader.
Schedule No Fights
"Accordingly, we have no
plans to schedule fights in
Pennsylvania or any other state
that does not provide the ordin
ary and reasonable and produc
tive supervision and regulation
of the sports."
Leader told Gibson in an
earlier telegram that Pennsyl
vania "welcomes boxing within
its borders" and the new box
ing code would furnish . "en
lightened, sympathetic and pro
ductive supervision and regula
tion" of the sport. .
Leader, has insisted "if we
can't clean up boxing in Penn
sylvania we'd better get rid of
it." ;- ; . (
Gibson said he will study the
code further, but as he under
stands it now the IBC will boy
cott Pennsylvania if and when
the code, is approved by the
state Legislature.
in regular district action. The
fracas today does not have dis
trict significance but Ashland
will be out to make some
amends.
Toss-up Seen
Three of the earlier contests
were decided by one run which
indicates that today's action is
a toss-up.
Action will bring together a
number of nlavers who have
been foes fin high school ball
and who will continue as prep
rivals next spring. Central Point
Medford has players from Cra
ter, Medford and St Mary's
highs and Ashland from Talent
and Ashland preps. Some of the
Talent boys played on last year's
Medford nine.
All three Medford pitchers
are to see mound service. They
are Duane Sides, Fred Herr
mann and Henry Putney. The
one or ones who handle Ashland
hurling will be named from
among Mark Fitch, Dale Walter
and Gene Parent.
Following today's game, mem
bers of theCP-Medford . squad
and their families will picnic
in the Boy Scout hearquarters
section of Hawthorne park.
