Scott Peterson 6f the Nod Given To Miteff, Nino Weeps New York (W The man ager of big Nino Valdes will be ordered to substantiate of ficially his fixed-fight charges, made after young Alex Miteff had won a split decision over Valdes Friday night in their gory heavy weight battle at Madison Square Garden. William Thomas, chief counsel for the New York State Athletic commission, said today manager Bobby Gleason "will be called right in." ' Thomas said "These- are se rious charges and should get immediate attention; and, if they are unfounded; Gleason should be reprimanded." Gleason yelled his charges during a hysterical scene in the dressing room where Cu ban Valdes wept and scream ed in Spanish. The two wild ly emotional men claimed the fight should have been stop ped because of a deep gash on the bridge of Argentine Miteff 's nose, from the sec ond round on. And that even if it hadn't been stopped, Ni no should have been voted the decision. But Nino, weighing 209 Vfc pounds to Miteff's 205, didn't win because the "fight was in the, bag," Gleason declared. "Even in the ring, the referee said nothing could help us. I went to the commission in the morning and told them that the way the betting was going we would have to win by a knockout. I had heard rumors that the fight was in the bag." . . It was a grand fight, in which 23-year-old Miteff for ced the action like another "Wild Bull of the Pampas," although he was fighting through a mask of blood and through eyes that were swol len practically shut at the fin ish. Both Alex and big Nino were drenched from the three-quarter-inch nose gash, and the referee appeared to be wearing red glovesand his gray shirt was smeared with crimson.
