Brooklyn Farms Out
Seven Home Tussles
Brooklyn U.PJ The Brook
lyn Dodgers, stung by the stay
at-home tactics of fans once con
sidered the most fanatic in base
ball, took the first step out of
Brooklyn today.
By arranging .to play seven of
O their home games next season in
Jerser Citv. N.J.. and announc-
;? ing they hope to vacate Ebbets
r ieia alter xne inai seasun, uic
jp Dodgers issued a pretty plain
warning that poor attendance
could make them leave town per
manently. It's the first time in modern
baseball history that a major-
league team has "farmed out"
any of its home games.
O . And it's the first time in his
oQtory that a pennant-winning
team, as the Dodgers are almost
certain to be this season, have
gone out of their home town for
any home games.
With Dodger attendance far
off during the last two seasons,
club President Walter O'Malley
put the finger on the parking
problem as the reason for the
slump. Time was, O'Malley point
CD edout, folks in Brooklyn used
to come to Ebbets Field by trol
ley the team's present name
was shortened from the nick
CDname "Trolley Dodgers." Now,

fans want to come by car and
there is parking space for only
700 cars at Ebbets Field.
If the Dodgers are going to
stay in Brooklyn, says O'Malley,
they must find a site for a new
stadium .which has parking fa
cilities for at least 2,000 cars.
They've been looking for such
a site since 1948.
"The matter has progressed
to the point where a final en
gineering and legal study will be
made," said O'Malley. "The re
sult will determine the future
of the Dodgers."
O'Malley insisted that the
Dodger owners intend to keep
the team in Brooklyn if at all
possible. But he left the door
open for a shift by saying "other
locations" would be considered
"only if we are finally unsuccess
ful in our ambition to build in
Brooklyn."
Other locations mentioned by
O'Malley, in addition to Jersey
City, which lies just across the
Hudson River from New York
City were two areas on Long
Island.
"We plan to play almost all
our home games at Ebbets Field
in 1956 and 1957. but will have
to have a new stadium there,
after," said O'Malley.
Satterf ield
indicated a knockout was the
most likely finish of the brawl,
Valdes, 30, has won 33 fights,
lost nine and drawn two, but
has scored 23 knockouts. Satter
field has 38 victories, 19 defeats
and three draws. In addition Sat
terf ield, 31, has lost more often
by knockout than by decision.
Two indications of the out
come of the battle were in the
results of both fighters against
Moore and Ezzard Charles. Sat
terfield was put away bf both in
the third round, while Valdes
decisioned Charles in 1953 be
fore his 15-round loss to Moore
this year.

Hardtoppers
Race Here
On Saturday
Another of the regular hard
top auto racing programs is
scheduled for this Saturday eve
ning at the Jackson County
speedway.
. Bill Rozell, track manager for
the Junior Chamber of Com
merce at the Posse Grounds site
said that the races will be in
the nature of warm ups for the
24-hour marathon event slated
over the Labor day holiday.
Jack McCoy, veteran of the
local track, who, however, made
a late appearance this season, is
expected to be one of the top
contenders for evening's hon
ors. McCoy has taken charge of
the Ellis market special and re
portedly has rebuilt the engine
and has rehung the vehicle to
suit his fancy. He reportedly
"cleaned" the field last Sunday
at Klamath Falls and recently
grabbed the main, a heat and
a trophy at Roseburg.
No. 100 from Gold Beach is
expected back on the Medford
oval this week. Principal reason
for coming, of course, will be to
prep for the holiday marathon.
Wayne Lemley was victor on
the local speedway the last time
out.
A field of 150 drivers from
west coast points is expected to
vie in qualifying tests for the
24-hour race. Qualifying is set
for Saturday, September 3 at
the speedway. Fast times will
determine a maximum 40 car
field for the marathon which
will run from 4 p.m. September
4 to the same hour on Septemb
er 5, Labor day.
The regular start will be used
for the long race with the fast
cars in the lead. Driver with
the best time will get the pole
spot. In the usual races at the
track a "reverse" or handicap
start has been used with the
slow cars leading off.
Champion of the Medford
track under the point system
will be determined with a reg
ular racing program on Septem
ber 17. .
Scouts Shoot Rapids
Of Columbia River
The Dalles, Ore. (U.R)
Twenty-seven Explorer Scouts
shot the rapids of Hells Gate
passage in the Columbia .river
yesterday and wound up in the
quiet water near The Dalles.
The Scouts and seven adult
leaders raced through the swirl
ing white water from just be
low the John Day river to Cel
ilo Falls, following the route of
Lewis and Clark.
The 13-mile trip through the
Rapids took them three hours.
The Scouts hope to reach As
toria by Sunday to take part in
the dedication of a replica of
old Fort Clatsop where Lewis
and Clark wintered after their
perilous trip west.
Although the boys were truck
ed around some of the roughest
spots, their canoes still shipped
plenty of water in Hells gate.
As an added precaution, a Coast
Guard motor boat shot that sec
tion of the river with them.
The adventurers plan to make
Bonneville dam by nightfall to
day. $2499

NBA To Ask
Boxing Probe
By Congress
By HOWARD COGAN
Detroit (U.R) The front
burner was blazing brightly un
der boxing today with added
fuel expected at any hour.
One federal investigation of
the sport already was underway.
Another will be recommended to
Congress in January.
The current and proposed
probes stem from efforts by the
National Boxing association and
its investigating committee to
halt alleged racketeering and
mobster infiltration into boxing.
In New York, President James
Norris of the International Box
ing club said the NBA's concern
about government investigation
of boxing "indicates impotence
on their part."
Norris said he would welcome
federal supervision of the sport
over the "commission rule we
now have." He made the state
ment in reference to remarks
by George A. Barton, former
president of the IBA and head
of its investigating committee.
Barton, associated with box
ing some 50 years, disclosed in
a report to the association that
the Justice Department's anti
trust division was investigating
charges of abuses in the IBC,
which promotes almost all ma
jor fights in this country.
Barton charged that one box
ing show promoter was slugged
when he refused to pay $500
"tribute" for each show. He
said that when certain persons
were asked to sign affidavits
regarding hoodlum activities in
boxing they replied: "Not me. I
don't want to get knocked yet."
Admittedly facing a stone
wall in its investigations, the
NBA here unanimously passed
a resolution asking for a federal
probe.
The association wound up its
three-day meeting Tuesday.
Louis Radzienda of Chicago,
was elected president for 1955
56. At Tuesday session, the NBA
appointed a 10-member commit
tee to meet with Pennsylvania
Governor George Leader Sept.
19 at Harrisburg, to discuss pro
gress of the Justice Department
investigation into possible anti
trust violations.
Other new officers elected at
the group's final session includ
ed Floyd Stevens, Michigan, first
vice-president; Thomas Littleton,
Louisiana, second vice-president;
Julius Greebstein, Maine, third
vice-president; Gilbert Jackson,
Wisconsin, four vice-president;
Dr. Ward Wylie, West Virginia,
fifth vice-president; James Crow
ley, Pennsylvania, sixth " vice
president and Authony Macer
oni, Rhode Island, treasurer.

better to qualify. Pat O'Neil of

Top-Seeded
Net Doubles
Teams Mix
Chestnut Hills, Mass. U.R)
Top-seeded tandems, all but
three of which survived early
play in the 75th national tennis
doubles championships, turned
to toppling each other today.
With only two seeded teams
knocked out in actual play, and
the other "benched" in a ruckus-
raising Davis Cup maneuver,
seeded entries comprise the bulk
of the remaining field. Of 29
teams surviving in the men's and
women's doubles divisions, 16
were seeded.
The situation promised to step
up the tempo of the tournament,
somewhat sluggish through its
first two days at the Longwood
Cricket Club.
Attention Tuesday, in fact,
centered a large part of the
time on non-tourney play involv
ing Tony Trabert and Vic Seixas,
big guns on the U. S. Davis Cup
team that will defend its crown
against a determined Australian
aggregation at Forest Hills, N.Y.,
Aug. 26-28.
Won by Default
Trabert and Seixas, top two
tennis players in the nation and
top-seeded in this tourney, won
their match Tuesday by default,
so got in practice rounds with
Jack Kramer and Don Budge.
Trabert, a 24-year-old from
Cincinnati, Ohio, out of action
three weeks before the doubles
championships with a sprained
shoulder played flawlessly, rais
ing hopes for a successful defense
of the Cup at Forest Hills.
Eliminated in upsets Tuesday
were Australians Mai Anderson
and Jeoff Radford and Mexicans
Yola Ramirez and Rosa Maria
Reyes. The second-seeded foreign
entry of Lew Hoad and Ken
Rosewall lost by default after
Australian Davis Cup coach
Harry Hopman decided to with
draw them, apparently to save
them for the Cup challenge
rounds.
Anderson and Radford bowed
to Leslie Longshore, of Annis
ton, Ala., and Alan Morris, of
Atlanta. Ga., in the most spirited
match of the day, 7-9, 10-8, 8-6,
6-4.

Aussies Win
Zone Finale
Philadelnhia (U.R) The
Italian Davis Cup tennis team,
loser by 5-0 to Autralia in the
interzone finals completed Tues
day, predicted today that the
Aussies will take the Cud from
America this year by a score of
3-2.
"Tony Trabert will win his
two singles," said Nicola Pietran
geli, who won one set from Aus
tralian Ken Rosewall in the
opening singles and lost to Lew
Hoad Tuesday in straight sets,
9-7, 6-2, 6-3.
"But America has no strone
No. 2 man, and the Aussies dou
bles team is the best in the
world."
Rosewall beat 6-foot. 7-inch
Orlando Sirola in Tuesdav's oth
er singles on the Germantown
cricket Club grass court, 6-4, 4-6,
6-0, 6-4. The Aussies now nlav
the United States for the Cud

Aussie Captain Harrv Honman
refused to make any predictions.
but he obviously was pleased
with the form shown by Hoad
and Rosewall Tuesday.
I haven't seen Trabert and
Seixas in a long time so I won't
predict," he said, "but Hoad's
form was very pleasing, and
Rosewall was most satisfac
tory. For the cautious Hopman. that
was saying a lot.
