MCW 4leMjM Rosi Bloody But Takes Bob Scanlon San Francisco -UPH- Paolo Rosi, bloody but triumphant, retained his Indian sign over Bobby Scanlon today and of fered this reason for it: "Bobby would fight better if he wasn't so scared," the blood-streaked Italian said Monday night after hacking out a split, 10-round decision over his opponent. The fight grossed $17,970 as a crowd of 4,000 turned out for the rematch. It marked the second time in two months that Rosi had defeated baby-faced Scanlon in the Cow Palace. H e knocked him out in the third round here Oct. 13. But the former hair-dresser, who now lives in the Bronx, apparently will have to go on the shelf as the result of cuts, According to the pre-fight ballyhoo, the winner would have met Carlos Ortiz here on Jan. 19.. Rosi, weighing 13416, start ed fast and shook Scanlon twice in the first round with solid rights to the jaw. The first time he connected Bobby was knocked off balance and the second belt made his legs give. But Scanlon, who scaled 135 pounds for his futile bid to avenge the only other defeat on his record, rode out the storm and at the end was tak ing the offensive against his tiring opponent. Referee Jack Downey voted the fight to Rosi 97-94, Judge Matt Zidick saw it 97-95 for the Italian, while Judge Eddie James voted for Scanlon 98 95. The UPI also had it for the loser, 97-96.

Gardere, a spohomore guard, is big as average per sons go. He stands five-feet nine and you'd hesitate to start an argument if he step ped on your foot during the rush hour. "Gardere will become a tremendous player," beamed Coach Jim Weaver today, still glowing from watching his Gaels win two games in solid fashion last week-end. "He has the desire, can shoot and is good on defense." Point Still Disputed In Oregon-Miami Game Miami -UPD- Monday morn ing quarterbacks argued over a picture of a disputed scor ing play that was called back in the Oregon-Miami football game Saturday.

Oregon's Dave Grayson threw a running pass to Willie West in the end zone. But referee Billy. Queen ruled Grayson was beyond the line of scrimmage when he threw the ball and Tuled it an illegal forward pass. Back Judge W. R. Bantley agreed. Both officials said they were in good positions to see the play. Grayson said I know I Overtime Rule Explained For Talent-B.

"It's a cinch they didn't hurt him any," Weaver said. "He's a boy with springs in his legs." And he showed it last Fri day night when he raced out onto the Cow Palace floor during the late stages of a wild game with UCLA when the Bruins were on top, 54-50. Gardere hit for one field goal to pull the Gaels up closer and Dick Sigaty's shot sent things into overtime.

Tuesday, December 9. 1951 9 Sport Parade New York -fflPD- Horse rac ing went to sea today and for the first time in the history of the turf a "boat race" doesn't mean that the "fix" is in. Some time this evening, when the S. S. Liberte is roughly 150 miles at sea, the sea - going speculators con cerned with the improvement of the breed are going to plunge just as you would at Belmont or Hialeah. It's rac ing with all the trappings right down to pari-mutuel ma chines. Even though the horses are strictly from celluloid. To bored Datrons of the sea- lanes this can be the greatest thing since Eric the Red won a match race from Columbus. Because this is horse racing, right down to boots and sad dles and, even more import ant, how much did the winner pay. There will be Dari-mutuel betting with valid machines supplied by the American To- taiisator company, which han dles all the regular race tracks. There will be odds boards and a regulation pay off. All of which is handled bv what is known as Cinema- races, meaning filmed horse races. Bet On Numbers How it operates is as slick as David Harum with a good horse. Each night the ship puts out an eight-race pro gram. The horses are given names but actually you bet only on the number which the horses carry. After a 15-minute betting period, the ticket-issuing ma chines are locked just as at the ordinary race track. Then a passenger spins a wheel. such as you see at county fairs, and the wheel stops at a num ber. , . Assuming that 'the number is four, the bonded employees of the "track" go to a film vault containing boxes much like a safety deposit vault. The vault contains groups of films for races of from 7 to 12 horses. If it is a 12-horse race, right in public view the steel container number four in the 12-horse bracket is with drawn. Then that race is run off from start to finish until the winning number is posted. Meanwhile, an accountant has determined the odds on the various horses according to how much was bet on each one. These odds meanwhile are flashed on a miniature tote board and, when the race is over, the payoff begins. Fixes Seemingly Impossible Speculation immediately be came rife as to how someone could go about putting in the fix." It is, seemingly, impos sible. The races are sealed in Towson, Md., and nobody knows which race is in which sealed box. The "tote-afloat" ask ' f Hp " 4' mi JULIUS KESSLEK C0UPW.LAW8EKEBURG, INDIANA. BLENDED WHISKEY. 86 PROOF. m By OSCAR FRALEY Sports 'Writer United Press makes certain that the payoff is honest. The maximum bet, as th Liberte makes its trial horse racing voyage, is $5. No races are used over and there is al ways a fresh supply of new races in the.sealed containers. Programs similar to those in use at every track are ready for each night's play. The names given the horses are, of course, fictitious. As ex ample I bet on something called "Brigitte" in a dry run Monday night on the theory that she should outstrip this field. Her number was eight, which it might be added, also is a good round number. So, you can see, this isn't greatly different from ordin ary horse racing. Like in the second race I chose number four, named "Sweater Girl," on the assumption she was a stand out. Number five won. As I said, it's just like reg ular horse racing.
