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.

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.
Miami won the game 2-0 on
a safety but Oregon had two
scoring plays called back by
the referees.
The disputed one came with
Oregon on the Miami seven.
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

Elgin Baylor, the Minne

MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Oregon. 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"

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.
