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. Tick
ets were scaled from $5 in the
gallery to $25 at ringside.
Both tiny battlers were in
line to pick up considerable
loose change. Each will re
ceive 30 per cent of the net
gate and 30 per cent of the
TV and radio money-$40,000.
Moore was rated an 8-5 fa
vorite to hold on to his title
with odds lengthening to 2-1
in some quarters.
On the record there was
little to choose between the
two except that Moore ap
peared to have gained a lot
of confidence by his win over
the ex-champion and was re
ported in top physical shape.

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

ities are based on electronic
standards of the highest pre
cision and are valued at $200,

dence to knock the ball out
of the park.
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.

Dempsey Accepts Boxing
Advisory Post; May Fly
To Confer With Ingemar
By JACK CUDDY
New York-flJPD-Jack Demp
sey may fly to Sweden Friday
to clarify the Ingemar Johansson-Floyd
Patterson return
fight muddle.
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

Ranger Robert H. Torheim
will transfer to a staff position
on the Rogue River National
Forest early in September,
Forest Supervisors Lloyd Gill

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

management assistant at
North Bend, Wash., and dis

I was asked to help. But I had
my attorneys one of the best

the situation thoroughly, and
they recommended the re
