Havana Franchise
Moved; Castro Is
Extremely Bitter
Havana - OJPD - Fidel Castro,
a one-time college pitcher,
was extremely bitter Satur
day over the enforced transfer
of the Havana franchise in the
International league to Jersey
City. N.J.
The Cuban premier termed
the action as "one more ag
gression against our people by
the United States govern
ment." "If any good relations were
maintained between Cuba and
the United Slates it was base
ball, wherein a healthy, dis
interested, sportsmanlike at
titude prevailed," Castro said
during a television broadcast
Friday night.
He added that "United
States players never heard a
word directed against them.
The same people who go to
concentrations (anti-U.S. mass
meetings) went to the ball
park and stood respectfully as
the United States anthem waa
played ..."
Frank J. Shaughnessy, pres
ident of the International
league, yanked the franchise
out of Havana Friday in a
move he called necessary for
the safety of visiting Ameri
can players as well as those
on the Havana roster.
He immediately announced
that the franchise was being
transferred to Jersey City,
which last had a team in the
International league 10 years
ago. A telegraphic poll of the
league's Board of Governors
late Friday approved Shaugh
nessy's action.
All that remains now is the
ironing out of details for use
of Roosevelt stadium, owned
by the city, and an equitable
settlement with Bobby Ma

Syracuse, N. Y.-WPD-The U.l
S. Nuvul academy earned the
right to represent America in
eight-oared competition at the
1000 Rome Olympics Satur
day with a tremendous upset
victory over California on
Onondaga lake.
The Middles won their third
Olympic berth since 1920, and
second in eight years, by
spurting to the finish line aft
er wresting the lend from tho
Syracuse Alumni Rowing as
sociation boat about 550 me
ters from the finish line.
One of two Navy boats In
the final, the Louis Lindscy-
coached varsity shell pulled
out all the stops In the final
yards to beat California by
approximately n boat length
In the time of 6:46 tint.
Tho Lake Washington Row
ing club of Seattle swept the
lake In enrly events, winning
four berths In the first five
races on the aoven-race card.
They scratched out of tho dou
ble achulla, won by Phlindel
phla Vcrspers' crew of Jack
Kelly Jr., brother of Princess
Grace of Monaco, ana Bill
Knecht.
First Year for Llndaey
The big-boat victory was a
feather In the cap of Lindscy,
who coached the Nnvy varsi
ty for the first time this year
nftor replacing fnmcd Rusty
Cnllow.
The loss was a tough blow
to Jim Lcmmdn, in his first
yenr as varsity mentor at Cal
ifornia. After seeing his fine
crew stroke to victory in the
western sprints and the recent
lntcr-collcginte Rowing asso
ciation regatta here, he watch
ed his shell lose by a matter
of four-tenths of a second.
The Syracuse shell, close
behind California through the
first 1,000 meters took com
mand briefly before Navy put
on Its finishing show. Then
down to the wire it was a
thriller all the way, with the
Syracuse alumni boat only
seven-tenths of a second be
hind California and the Navy
plebcs one-tenth of a second
back in fourth place.
Lake Washington lived up

Committee Plans To Call
Boxing Czar to Testify
Washington UPD Congress
ional investigators plan to
summon underworld boxing
czar Frank (Bllnky) Palermo

fixes, It was learned Satur
day. - Reliable sources told United
Press International the Phila

considered a "must" witness
in the Senntc inquiry which
resumes this fall, probably in
mid-October.
Senate investigators also
may call Frank Carbo, former
kingpin of the boxing rack
eteers, from his prison cell at
Rikcrs Island in New York's
East river, for the same pur
pose. Witnesses before Sen. Estcs
Kcfnuvcr's antitrust and mo
nopoly subcommittee last
month named Palermo as
"custodian" of Carbo's under
world power over professional
boxing while the latter is in
prison.
Carbo Is serving two years
on a conviction as a under
cover manager. Both he and
Palermo are under federal in
dictment in California for an
alleged attempt to control the
welterweight boxing title
through extortion.
The Senate investigators
plan to quiz Palermo about
the Jake La Motta-Billy Fox
fight fix in 1947. La Motta
gave sensational testimony
last month that he threw the
bout in exchange for a crack .
at the . middleweight title
which he later won.
La Motta said he also was

connection with the Fox
match but turned It down.
