NCAA Questions
Summer Baseball
Kansas City. Mo. HP The
National Collegiate Athletic As
sociation is investigating sum
mer baseball leagues to see if
college players are violating
NCAA rules by playing in them.
NCAA Executive Director
Walter Byers said the investiga
tion was started nearly eight
months ago. Ten or more leagu
is are known to attract collegi
ans for summer play. These in
clude the Basin South Dakota
and Southern Minnesota base
ball leagues, the Western Can
ada Baseball League, the Nova
Scotia Baseball Association and
r.ther leagues in Nebraska and
Iowa .
Byers said the investigation
was prompted bv reports of ex-
ceses and abuses in several of
the leagues. It is being conduct
ed by the committee on infrac
tions, which will report its find-
ings to the NCAA council in Oc
tober for possible action.

Portland I'M Mickey Lillich
tossed a no-hit. no-run game for

paced his team to a 4-0 Ameri
can Legion Junior baseball win
. over Carson Oil here.
Nearly three and one half
hours after the first ball was
pitched, the Stars left the field
with a 7-3 victory under their
belts. All the runs came after
the regulation nine innings had
been completed.
Hollywood's Ben Daniels and
Bob Thorpe dueled through nine
innings, but the Stars got to
Thorpe in the 10th for two runs
one on Daniels' triple. Port
land got back the two runs in
the bottom of the frame and the
duel continued.
The Stars took no chances in
the 13th. They pushed across
five runs, including three on a
double by Carlos Bernier. The
Beavers got one back in the bot
tom of the 13th but still lacked
four.
The victory gave Daniels a 9-2
mark, while Thorpe was tagged
for his fourth loss against four
wins. Both pitchers were re
lieved in the 13th.
The victory moved the Stars
to within three and one half
games of the league-leading San
Francisco Seals.
The Beavers and Stars con
tinue their eight-game series to-
i.ight. while San Diego opens at
San Francisco, Sacramento visits
Los Angeles, and Seattle plays

Maxim, Olson
Mix Tonight
Portland, Ore. W Joey
Maxim and Carl Bobo Olson, a
pair of ex-champlons, attempt
to hit the comeback trail tonight
when they clash in a 10-round
battle as heavyweights.
Olson, former world's middle
weight champion, will weigh in
around the 180-pound mark;
Maxim, ex-light-heavyweight ti
tle holder, will tip the scales at
185.
For Olson, this will be the
first battle since he "retired" on
Oct. 3. 1956. on the eve of a
scheduled fight here. He had
lost the middleweight title to
Sugar Ray Robinson shortly before.
But now his manager, Sid
Flaherty, believes that Bobo has
recovered from the effects of
knockouts at the hands of Rob
inson and world light-heavy
weight champion Archie Moore
and may campaign as a light-
heavy or a heavweight.
Maxim has just takeri a pair
of lacings from Eddie Machen,
the No. 2 challenger for the
heavvweight crown and he,
too, hopes to get back on the
win track. He was licked by Ol
son in a 10-rounder in 1955.
The winner has been promised

Murtry, Tacoma, Wash., heavy
weight sensation, some time this
summer.

Ex-Champ Gavilan
Jersey City, N.J. TO Wel
terweight contender Vince Mar
tinez, who beat ex-champion
Kid Gavilan again Monday
night, expects to fight Peter
Waterman. British champion, at
Newark, N.J., In July.
Sixth-ranking Martinez of Pat
terson, N.J., said today, "I want
a shot at Carmen Basilio's world
title, but if I can't have it I'll
fight the British champ."
Manager Bill Daly said he
would wait until Basilio had de
finitely signed to challenge Su
gar Ray Robinson for the mid
dleweight title or had agreed to
defend the welter crown against
Gaspar Ortega of Mexico, be
fore accepting the Waterman
fight.
Twenty-eight-year-old Martin
ez weighted 15034 pounds to Ga
viland's 147'2 Monday night in

Vince's harder punching with
ccunter blows gave him referee
Faul Cavalier's decision on a
rounds basis, seven to three.
There are no ring judges used in
New Jersey. The United Press
agree. 6-3-1. and a ringside poll
of writers favored Martinez 5-4-1.

Sees No Chance of Full
Immunity for Pro Sports
By TOM NELSON
United Press Sports Writer
Washington ilP Rep. Ken
neth B'. Keating (R-N.Y.) said to
day he sees "no chance" that
Congress will grant professional
sports full immunity from anti
trust laws.
Keating is the senior Republi
can on a seven-man House sub
committee which began, an in
vestigation of pro sports Mon
day. He favors some, but not to
tal, exemption of organized
sports from anti-trust regulation.
Keating said the bill advanced
by Rep. Oren Harris (D-Ark.) to
free all phases of baseball, foot
ball, basketball and hockey oper
ations from the ant-trust laws
gees "too far."
He said Congress won t buy a
proposal like the Harris bill. It

Committee Works
On New Stadium
Columbus, Ohio OP) A 31
member committe today consid
ered the next step toward get
ting a new stadium for the Cin
cinnati Redlegs, made possible
under a bill signed Monday by
Gov. C. William O'Neill.
The bill opening the door to
the stadium authorizes county
commissioners to build, pur
chase or lease a new ball park.
It is effective in 90 days.
A new stadium was seen as
the answer to chronic com
plaints about poor seating and
parking facilities at Crosley
Field, and as a major item in
keeping the team in Cincinnati.
The emergency bill was rush
ed through the Legislature after
rports that the Redlegs might be
shiftd to New York City.
vision broadcasting arrange
ments from government anti
trust supervision.
Another Bill "Too Far"
At the same time, Keating
said, a bill offered by subcom- j
mittee chairman Emanuel Celler
(D-N. Y.) goes "too far" in the
opposite direction. Celler would
put baseball in the same boat as
the other sports and subject it
to anti-trust regulation.
The Supreme Court twice has
held that anti-trust laws don't
apply to organized baseball. But
it ruled last Feb. 25 that they do
cover professional football.
Keating sponsors a bill that
falls between Harris' and Cel
ler's. He would give professional
sports partial exemption but
keep their business aspects like
broadcasting and concessions
under regulation.
The subcommittee got off to
a slow start on its inquiry Mon
day. Of the four witnesses called
to testify, only Harris got to the
stand.
Organized baseball will mount
its offensive Wednesday, when
the hearings will resume after a
one-day breather. Baseball Com
missioner 'Ford C. Frick and
Minor League President George
M. Trautman will be the star
witnesses.
The subcommittee had planned
to hear Monday from Victor R.
Hansen, assistant attorney gen
eral in charge of anti-trust cases.
But when time ran out it took a
written statement from Hansen
instead.
Calls Congress Responsible
Hansen said the Justice De
partment feels it's up to Con
gress to decide whether baseball
should be brought under anti
trust statutes along with other
sports.
But he cautioned against
"lightly" deciding to move in
the other direction and extend
baseball's exemption to cover
football, basketball and hockey.
Hansen said the department's
view is that this exemption
'should be extended onlv upon
a very strong and clear showing
that team sports cannot survive
under the present status of anti-
trust's application."
At any rate, he said, no action
should be taken to lessen gov
ernment regulation of the sale of
radio and TV rights covering
sports events.

alma mater, but his mother was
fighting mad.
This thing isn t over yet.
Mrs. Aloysius Brodie said.
We're going to fight it!"
On Honeymoon
Whether Brodie was of the
same mind was not known. He
was reported on his honeymoon
"en route to Las Vegas. He was
married Saturday to his college
sweetheart, Sue Blevins of
Woodland. Calif.
The academic tempest was
disclosed Monday when it was
learned Brodie did not graduate
with his class Sunday. Stan
ford's official explanation was
simply that the football star had
received a below average grade
in one course and as a result did
not have sufficient credits.
Said Cheating
Mrs. Brodie, however, said
the real reason was because
young John was accused of
cheating in a final examination
and the poor grade was assessed
as a penalty. She said the matter
was appealed to the Stanford
student council.
Brodie was one of the top
draft choices of the San Fran
cisco Forty Niners. He was
scheduled to report to the Na
tional Football League team for
duty in July. His eligibility for
pro ball was not affected by his
failure to win a degree.

Ward Withdraws

Dallas (W National Amateur
champion Harvie Ward wasn't
among the 130 golfers who tried
to match or beat the 3-under-par
round of teenager Jack Moore
in Trans-Mississippi golf tourna
ment qualifying.
Ward withdrew from the tour
nament Monday after arriving
here to find that his entry had
put the Trans-Miss officials
who had invited him in an em
barrassing position because of a
misunderstanding over Ward's
true status as an amateur.
The San Francisco auto sales
man was placed on one year's
probation and had his amateur
standing taken away two weeks
ago by the United States Golf
Assn. because he had accepted
travel expenses to golf tourna
ments from his employer.
The Trans-Miss officials in
vited him anyway,, on the as
sumption that Ward was baned
only from USGA sponsored
tournaments.
The USGA pointedly in
formed T r a n s-Miss officials
Monday that Ward was "not an
amateur," so Ward withdrew
rather than jeopardize the
Trans' position with the USGA.

New York IH Tony De

ever to beat now that he has
learned "it's a cinch" to box 10
rounds.
The 20-year-old former Golden
Gloves performer engaged in
his first 10-rounder Monday
night and walked off with an
upset split decision over Felix
Chiocca of France in a widely
televised bout at St. Nicholas
Arena. It was De-Cola's sixth
straight victory this year.
Using a sharp left at long
range, DeCola piled up an early
lead and appeared to get strong
er as the bout progressed. Chioc
ca, who weighed 142 pounds to
DcCola's 146, apparently was
hampered by the fact he took
the fight on a three-day notice.
He was named only last Friday
to substitute for Jimmy Archer,
who was injured in training.
