o Promoters Do Well in JSC Break By HAL WOOD United Presi Sports Writer San Francisco W Poor ol International Boxing club, James D. Norris, president! Now that he's down, every body is kicking him. "Can't fight with Gene Full mer, because he's tied up with the IBC" said Frank Bachman, manager of Rory Calhoun, a top-ranking middleweight. "And if Carmen Basilio beats Sugar Ray Robinson in their match, that title will be tied up for another year." "We can't put Floyd Patter son in with any of the top chal lengers," says Cus d'Amato, the manager of the world's heavy weight champion, "because they mostly are tied up too closely with the IBC. We'll have to in vestigate the ties that all these boxers like Roy Harris of Cut and Shoot, Tex., Alex Miteff, etc., have before we'll give them a shot at the crown." Sudden Change It was only a couple of years ago that all the managers, box ers and promoters were clamor ing to get on the IBC band-wagon. Now, all of a sudden, con nection with that organization appears to be akin to having Asiatic flu. But the break-away appears to be proving somewhat of a success for all concerned at least In the West. y Bennie Ford, San Francisco promoter, drew a $41,762.50 gate for the Calhoun-Joey Giam bra non TV and non-IBC fight here Monday night. The net was $36,181 and of this Joey got $10,854 as his share and Calhoun $9,045 for winning. Last week in Seattle, Patter son's take was $250,000 and promoter Jack Hurley got some thing like $80,000 out of which he had to pay expenses for run ning the show which didn't take over half of the total in view of the fact that Hurley did everything himself, Including sell tickets, peddle posters, handle publicity and even work as usher in the press row. These fellows appear to be making money despite the fact that they have no income from the huge television contracts. Part of Hurley's blasting of the IBC may come, of course, from the fact that he can't get a tele vision outlet for his shows. Ford has no quarrel with the IBC or anyone else. "I'll promote for the IBC, or I'll promote 1 ndependently," says Ford. "It all depends upon being able to line up good match es " But it would appear that the foes of the IBC are proving that the International Boxing club is not a monopoly; that inde pendent promoters and non-IBC boxers can make a good living outside the fold of Mr. Norris' organization. A -t I 4 !f ST''.' l'U,Jztl 1- k jxMXrl: MUTUAL ADMIRATION Although he sports a slightly bruised eye, Olympic heavyweight titlist Pete Rademacher (right) has a ready smile for world's heavyweight champ Floyd Patterson as they shake hands during a press con-' ference in Seattle. Patterson, who could afford to be magnanimous by virtue of his sixth round KO of Rade macher, had some nice things to say about the challenger, who was equal to the occasion and imparted great ad miration for the champ. MEDFORDvWTRIBUNB SIPODHBTTS Markets Allot More Space to-Meat Counters Chicago (IP) New super markets are alloting increasing ly more space to meat display counters to handle the great vol ume of meat consumed in the United States, the National As sociation of Food Chains report ed. The space boost is most evi dent, the NAFC said, in the esti mated 2,500 supermarkets being built each year. Older, smaller "stores, the NAFC added, are closed faster than new deluxe store are open ed by chain store executives. Thus, the total chain food store business remains about the same as 23 years ago around 40 per cent of the nation's grocery bill, the association said. Steelers Ink Bud Parker As Mentor By SELWYN FEINSTEIN United Press Sports Writer Pittsburgh Of) The Pitts burgh Steelers signed Buddy Parker Tuesday night to a five year contract as head coach to replace ailing Walt Kiesling. Parker came to terms with Steeler President Art Rooney just two weeks after he startled the sports world by announcing at a fan banquet that he was quitting his $30,000 post as coach of the Detroit Lions. "Walt asked to be relieved so I talked with Parker," Rooney told the United Press here in a telephone conversation from his Atlantic City, N. J., hotel room. "He was our only choice. He was Walt's choice." No 'Pressure' Involved Rooney said the decision for Kiesling to step down after four years at the helm was "complete ly his own he was never under any pressure." Kiesling was ill most of last season with a kidney condition and spent a week in a Minneap olis hospital while his team pre pared for a game on the West Coast. Rooney said Kiesling would be retained with the Steelers "at his present salary" in an advisory position. "That's what. Parker wanted." The Steeler president refused to ' discuss what salary Parker would get. But other sources indicated the pay would be sub stantially the same as the $30,- 000 a year Parker received from Detroit. Parker brings to the Steelers a tradition of winning champion ships, something the hapless Pittsburgh entry has yet to attain in 25 years in the National Foot ball League.

Par sons regained second place tie with M and W. Suggestion Made for 'Slipping Away" Madison, Wis. (IPI The Wisconsin Conservation Bulle tin printed its suggestions for slipping away from the wife for a little fishing. There's the "sneaky approach." The husband keeps all his fish ing tackle in the trunk of his car, and when he wants to go fishing, he simply goes directly from his office, by-passing his home. "The sneaky approach has def inite disadvantages," the Bulle tin said. "Sooner or later you have to go home to find the little lady standing four-square in the doorway, usually snarling. "If you've caught some fish, you're doubly lucky because you can proudly display them and proclaim triumphantly, I've been fishing." "But, if you haven't caught any fish, brother, you're in trouble, and how you get out of that situation is your business." Fayetteville, N.Y. (IP) Don ald Williams told police he's losing faith in the human race. First, a thief stole the battery from his tractor. Three weeks later one of a group of. guests at his house reported his wallet containing $11 had been taken. The next day a burglar broke into his house and stole $80. .M IT'S FUN TO SAVE' AT msrm rN "On The Point" S. Riverside & S.

PLASTIC JUICE Plus 10 Stamps Dick Foutche 133 Tops Am Qualifying New York (IP) Qualifying tests for the U.S. Amateur golf championship at Brookline, Mass.,. Sept. 9-14 produced a flock of headaches today and only one darkhorse for the title won the last two years by Harvie Ward of San Francisco, who is sitting out a year' suspension for accepting "improper" ex pense money. Darkhorse Dick Foutche of Charleston, W. Va., led the na tion by a wide margin with 67-66 133 at Huntington, W. Va., as all but four of 200 match play berths in the tournament were filled by 'trials in 31 cities. His position isn't likely to be chal lenged when the last four qualify today in a rain-delayed trial- at Des Moines, la. Many of the nation's top ama teurs were among the 31 exempt from qualifying and the trials generally followed form in most areas, but there were the usual casualties. Don Cherry Misses Among the missing at Brook line will be crooner Don Cherry of Wichita Falls, Tex., Jimmy McHale of Philadelphia, three time finalist Ray Billows of Poughkeepsie, N. Y., Western Amateur champ Dr. Ed Upde graff of Tucson, Ariz., 1951, U.S. runnerup Joe Gagliardi of Marn aroneck, N.Y., veteran Jim Fri sina of Springfield, 111., John P. Ward of Syracuse and Clarke Hardwicke of Los Angeles. Updegraff, who walloped Walker Cupper Joe Campbell, 9 and 8, for the Western crown at St. Louis last Sunday, failed to start at Phoenix, Ariz. The 35-year-old surgeon decided he'd already spent too much time away from his patients. Cherry missed by three shots at Chicago, McHale by one at Philadelphia. Billows and Gagli ardi both failed at Rye, N.Y. Wednesday. August 28. 1957 Professor Finds Vesuvius Breathing During Test Series Naples (IP) Vesuvius is still "breathing." Neapolitans, who considered it an affront that their world-famous volcano had "died" after its big eruption in 1944, have been assured that a billowing pinnacle of smoke will again crown their picture-postcard mountain. 1 The assurance was given by Italy's foremost volcanologist, Prof. Giuseepe Imbo, who has spent 30 years nursing the man killing mountain from an obser vatory only two miles from one of its craters. Vesuvius, he said, is merely passing through a stage of "dy namic rest." His declaration ex ploded the general belief that a solid lava cap several hundred meters thick had hermetically sealed the craters and killed the mountain as an active volcano. Imbo made a series of tests with a new type of "gravimeter" said to be the only one in Eur opean observatories, and estab lished that molten lava is bub bling inside the volcano's fun nel. Due In 1961 , The lava rises and submerges in a breathing motion every 12 hours. Imbo said that during the "high tide" period the incan descent magma (lava) exerts such a pressure on the walls of the eruptive funnel that the di ameter of the crater is enlarged by at least 100 meters. It shrinks to normal size when the magma ebbs. In the opinion of the scientist the lava cap sealing the crater is enlarged by at least 100 me ters. It shrinks to normal size when the magma ebbs. In the opinion of the scientist, the lava cap sealing the crater will blow off when the pressure within increases to a degree higher than the elasticity of the eruptive funnel. According to Imbo's charts and observations, Vesuvius' pres ent dynamic rest which was preceded by a 369-month period of intense activity, will last a maximum of 17.01 years from the last eruption of 1944, If the calculation is correct, Vesuvius will resume thundering and smoking some time in 1961. DOG BITES Memphis (IP) Police inspec tor Otis Caldwell who heads the Memphis Humane Shelter, says most persons are bitten by dogs because they aren't smart enough to read a dog's expres sion or recognize his mood.
