Jackson See Clay Putnam for At the Auto because of his hometown in Ohio and his sharp punching, stopped Bassey in 13 rounds here at the Olympic, last March 18 to take the crown which the African had held since June of 1957. Bassey, pride of the British Empire's Nigeria, became champion when he beat Cherif Hamia of France in an elimination contest. 7.500 Predicted Matchmaker George Parnas sus predicted a crowd of 7,500 at the Olympic with a gross gate of around $50,000.

Sport Parade New York -0JPD- The bean bali . provoked when the Giants' Jack Sanford plunked the Cubs' Ernie Banks in the back has the baseball master minds seeking a solution again today but there's only one real way to end bean- ings for all time. That's to abolish baseball. Because as long as you have a jackrabbit ball which is manufactured to ride prodi gious distances, the pitcher of necessity must "loosen up" the hitter who is taking a toehold in the batter's box. No pitcher intends to cripple a rival, or put his career in jeopardy, but the "brush back" pitch is about the only counter weapon the pitcher has left. - : : There Ts, of course, a fine line of demarcation between the "bean ball" and the "brush back." It is only as wide as the -pitcher's control and with the winning run in scoring position both become more narrow. Banks charged that San ford's control is too good to mike such a mistake. San ford, of course, denied the allegation. On the weight of very flimsy evidence you have to settle for Sanford's denial. Banks is not noted as a mind reader. Neither are the umpires who, being in just as good a position as Banks, if there was any hint of inten tional mayhem would have been called upon to eject San ford post haste. In the first place, wildness cannot be legislated out of the game. If such was the case, the first pitcher who gave up a walk would be sent to the minor leagues. Pitchers, when they resort to the "brush back" pitch - and most of them do from time to time are not at tempting to hit the batter. They are trying to shake him up and throw a scare into him to keep him from stand ing rooted in perfect confi- Timing - facilities at' the eighth Olympic Winter Games at Squaw Valley, Calif., Feb. 18-28,, 1960, are being con tributed by the Longines-Witt-nauer company.

Baseball has had only one fatality because of a player being struck, by a pitched ball. However, a number of careers have been ended or ruined, the most- notable being Joe Medwick and Mickey Cochrane. . The net result, and the only one possible, was introduction of a plastic helmet which the hitters now wear when they go to bat. When a batter is struck, usually it is an accident on both sides. Yet there have been a number - of players who, to give he pitchers their due, specialized in being struck as a means of getting on base. Hughie Jennings was hit . 49 times in . one sea son. Frankie Crosetti was another such expert in draw ing a free ride to first base. Peewee Reese also was adept in ju-t being missed or just being hit. Umpires realize the differ ence between the "brush back" pitch . and the deliber ate bean ball, which is a real rarity. It brings back a story about the pitcher who was accused by a rival hitter of throwing a "duster." "You'd throw at your own grandmother," the hitter stormed. . "I certainly wouldn't," the pitcher retorted. "But, of course I might brush her back a little." Even the nice guys who finish first have to protect themselves in the clinches. CLEAN. ..CLEAN..

Dempsey, brand new pro motional director of the hoped-for Sept. 22 bout, said today, "I'll be ready to go Fri day to Sweden or anywhere else if Ingemar wants and sit down and straighten things out." When the 64-year-old "Ma nassa Mauler" flies to Europe, he will be accompanied by Vincent J. Velella and Irving B. Kahn, president and board chairman, respectively, of the reorganized Rosensohn Enter prices, Inc. Big-fisted Jack, former heavy-weight champion, was named promotional director and advisor of the Rosensohn organization Tuesday at- a press conference in Dempsey's Broadway restaurant. "I took this job without a salary, but on a $500-a-week expense account," millionaire Jack explained, "in order to help the fight and boxing in general. The sport needs this match. It's too good to be kicked around any longer. It should draw a million-dollar gate, wherever held." Surprised Some reporters were very surprised that Dempsey should ally himself with Ros ensohn Enterprises because of the outfit's unsavory publicity since the June 26 fight in which Johansson of Sweden took the crown from Patter son on a third-round knockout. Right now Rosensohn En terprises is the hub of three official investigations, and a major target of magazine articles by Johonsson and ex promoter Bill Rosensohn, who Forest Service Lisis Transfer Ranger Robert H. Torheim will transfer to a staff position on the Rogue River National Forest early in September, Forest Supervisors Lloyd Gill mor and Carroll Brown of the Olympic and Rogue River Na tional Forests, respectively, have announced. In his promotion to the new position, Torheim will be in charge of fire control, range and wildlife activities on the Rogue River National Forest with headquarters at Medford. He has occupied his present position as district ranger of the Quinault district on the Olympic National Forest since December, 1956. Torheim started his forest service career in the CCC pro gram on the Snoqualmie Na tional Forest in 1940. He grad uated from University of Washington college of forestry in 1948. Since that time he occupied positions as forest guard and timber scaler at Skykomish," Wash., timber management assistant at North Bend, Wash., and dis trict ranger on the Naches district, Snoqualmie National Forest 1953 to 1956.

But I had my attorneys one of the best firms in New York examine the situation thoroughly, and they recommended the re organized setup as completely s o u n d financially and le gally." Friends say that Jack's real reason for jumping into the mess is his long-time crusade against monopoly in boxing and his desire to see cham pions fighting for independent promoters.
