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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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. Cald
well has been dog-bitten just
oe "and it was my fault."
