tal point system to make such
a decision a rarity.
The fourth-ranked Giambra,
a slight favorite going into the
fight, weighed 15734 and the
sixth-ranked Calhoun weighed
159.
Referee Ruby Goldstein scor
ed it for Calhoun, 5-4-1 and
judge Nick Gamboli gave the
same margin to Giambra. Judge
Frank Forbes gave each fighter
four rounds with two rounds
even. His card also" had an even
five points for each boxer un

it to Giambra, 5-4-1.

SOTA is a non-profit corpora
tion. Real Estate
Deals Eyed
Ne York HP The congres
sional investigation of sports
will make public various base
ball real estate deals, including
the sale and re-sale of Yankee
Stadium and the Brooklyn Dodg
er purchase of the ball park at
Los Angeles, Rep. Emanuel Ccl
ler (D-N.Y.), said Saturday.
Celler, home for the week
end, said "the public has the
right to know all about the
parks, not only the Yankees and
Dodgers, but others also."
"Our purpose generally is to
investigate baseball, football,
hockey and other sports, and
the places they play," he said
"We have a number of witness
es to be heard concerning the
land deals. We are trying to find
if these are sports only, or bus
inesses only, or a combination.
When there are huge profits in
volved in the sale of ball parks,
we must investigate."
Celler pointed out that base
ball Commissioner Ford Frick
had asked that baseball be ex
empted from anti-trust laws, and
that Celler had asked what,
then, would rule the sport in
place of the government board
or commission usually appointed
to control a monopoly.
"Frick said the public would
do so, because it would be in
formed," said the congressman.
"I asked about the Dodger and
Giant shift to the West Coast
and he said he didn't know, and
neither did the public.
"Our 'purpose Is to make it
possible for the public to know
all about all the workings of the
sports we are Investigating."
Cal Schools Can
Break After '58
Berkeley, Calif. (TP) UCLA,
more than a year to break out
which has been agitating for
of the Pacific Coast Conference,
can have its wish after the 1958
football season but must follow
a stricter atheletic code than the
one it violated.
That was the gist of a compro
mise resolution passed Friday by
the board of regents which gov
erns both the Bruins and the Uni
versity of California.
The plan calls for the two
schools to play out their 1957
and 1958 round-robin football
schedules within the PCC. After
that season, they will be at lib
erty to schedule any team out
side the conference they desire.
At the same time, the regents
imposed a stricter set of regula
tions on the pair than those re
cently passed by the Pacific
Coast Conference. They take ef
fect immediately. UCLA was put
on three years probation in May
of last year for illegal payments
to athletes, as were three other
PCC schools.

Legion Crew
in Tvinbiil
At Klamath
Klamath Falls' American Leg
ion junior baseball has taken
sort of a back seat to Babe Ruth
league play in the Pelican com
munity but the Medford Legion
nine, which plays at Klamath
this afternoon, is anticipating
tougher opposition than it en
countered last Sunday at Lake
view. Two games are billed today
with the first at 1 p.m. Each
scrap is planned for seven in
nings. There's little information
available on the Klamath nine.
It has played two games to date,
defeating'Bend 7 to 5 and losing
to the crew 17 to 5. A probable
pitcher for one of the games is
Dean Dunson.
Wayne Allen and Dennis Barr
are likely moundsmen for Med
ford with Tom Laurence avail
able for relief if necessary.
Business Manager Jack Sides
has expressed much optimism
concerning the Medford nine
this year, terming it "the sharp
est team in four or five years."
However, he's indicated that the
local Legion baseball program is
hurting financially with funds
pretty well depleted after to
day's trip. He's reported a couple
of contributions lately from
businessmen.
Judge Works
On Decision
New York OPI Federal
Judge Sylvester J. Ryan worked
Saturday on next Monday's de
cision that will tell how the
Jim Norris boxing monopoly
must be broken up.
The judge indicated several
times during the hearing on
remedies, which finished Friday,
that his decision will order:
Chief stockholders Norris
and partner Arthur Wirtz to
sell their $2,000,000 worth of
stock in the Madison Square
Garden Corp. through a trustee
ship during the next five years
meanwhile losing immediately
their voting powers on the
stock and their offices as presi
dent and director.
The dissolution of the In
ternational Boxing clubs of New
York and Illinois, now owned
by the Garden Corp., and the
Chicago Stadium Corp., respec
tively. A limit of two world title
fights each year to the Garden
Corp. and to the Chicago Stad
ium, for a total of four.
No exclusive contracts on
fighters, except for a single re
turn championship bout, and no
exclusive contracts on other
fight arenas.
A compulsory leasing of the
Garden and Chicago stadium to
independent promoters for title
fights at reasonable rentals.
A limit of but one series of
weekly TV fights to one promo
tional organization.
Last March, 'Ryan found the
defendants guilty of monopoly in
the conduct of title fights. The
defendants were: Norris, Wirtz,
the IBCs of New York and Il
linois, and the Garden Corp.
Monday's "decision on reme
dies" will give the lines to be
followed in the break-up, and
a "final judgment" in the first
week of July will provide the
machinery and teeth for carry
ing out the plans.
