Sports Writer
Payola Report
Investigated
By NORMAN G. CORNISH
Washington - (UPI) - C o n
grcssionHl Investigators are
digging into reports of alleged
payola payments of boxing
promoters and managers to
newspaper sportwriters, it was
learned Saturday.
The Senate antitrust and
monopoly sub committee
headed by Sen. Estes Kefau
vcr (D-Tenn.) confirmed in
answer to questions by United
Press International that the
inquiry was under way.
The disclosure came as the
result of persistent rumors
within the fight game.
A subcommittee spokesman
told UPI that Senate investi
gators had received reports
indicating many of the payola
payments were substantial
and perhaps even common in
a number of big fight cities
across the nation..
But he said no official verl.
ficatlon of this could be made
until further investigation.
Kefauver's subcommittee is
now conducting a broad in.
quiry into boxing, including
fixed fights and whether un
derworld elements have tried
to maintain monopoly control
over the sport.
Sources outside the Senate
group said boxing payola to
sports writers was an old but
little - talked about practice
and could run as high
$250,000 a year on a national
scale, lhis would be about 5
per cent of last year's total ad
missions gate.
They said the purpose of the
payola was to "encourage"
frequent and prominent men.
tion of bouts and fighters in
the press to whip up public
enthusiasm.
In New York, Harry Mark
son, who runs Madison Square
Garden boxing, declined to
comment when asked if Ko
f a u v e r ' s investigators had
sought information on boxing
payola from his organization
Truman Gibson, head of Na
tional Boxing Enterprises in
Chicago, said he was unaware
of the probe.
But it was known that the
subcommittee is gather I n g

Thompson
Injured in
Exhibition
Las Vegas, Nev. - IUPD
Mickey Thompson, 31, holder
of the American land speed
record, undergoes hospital
tests today and Tuesday to
determine whether a freak
boating accident will leave
his legs permanently paraliz-
ed.
The El Monte, Calif., race
driver was confined in Boul
der City hospital with a frac
tured vertebra suffered Sun
day when he tested a speed
boat on Lake Mead.
The up and down motion of
the boat as it bounced over
small waves at 75 miles an
hour caused the back injury,
technically known as a com
pression fracture of the lum
bar vertebra, and left his legs
paralyzed.
"We'll just have to wait
and see," said Dr. John Con
nelly about whether the pa
ralysis would be permanent.
He said it might be merely
"spinal shock" and temporary.
We should know witnin
about 48 hours," a spokesman
said.
Thompson, who drove a rec
ord 406 miles an hour on one
way of the Bonneville Salt
Flats, Utah, course in his
hand-built car recently, was
testing a boat designed for
water drag racing when the
accident occurred.
Exhibition
His test of the boat came
as an exhibition at the Lake
Mead Challenge cup hydro
plane championships.
Thompson during the sum
mer had hoped to beat the
394 mile an hour world land
record held by John Cobb.
He appeared on his way to
bettering the mark when he
clocked 406 on the one lap,
but his four-engined vehicle
broke down and he was un
able to make the return run.
In the only spill of the day
at Lake Mead, Harvey Stuska
of Denver flipped his 48-cubic
inch hydroplane. Ironically,
he suffered only minor leg
cuts while Thompson suffered
h i s serious injury without
even flipping his boat.
Chuck Lyford, Seattle, won
the 7-litcr division. Other win
ners in the races included:
Col. Russ Schleeh, March Air
Force base, Calif., ski boat;
Elmer Cravener, North Holly
wood, Calif., Pacific one-design;

Mr and Mrs. Public:
A message from BUD'S TIRE EXCHANGE to the people of the Rogue
River Valley.
As you come into the winter season it is necessary to prepare your
car for the hazards of winter driving. This means special lubrication,
antifreeze, and general readiness for the different driving conditons.
One of the very important things to remember is the condition of your
tires. Worn or nearly smooth treads can fail to hold on wet or icy
roads and can result in a very dangerous accident.
We have in our warehouse, thousands of premium quality retreads in
both the highway and the traction design. These are the very modern
"dual radius" tread, and guaranteed against any failure for the life of
the tread. This even includes road hazards.
To help you prepare for safer winter driving, we are
offering the second recap at Vi PRICE. For example if
you buy one (670-15) at the regular exchange price of
$14.00, you will receive the SECOND ONE FOR ONLY
$7.00 plus your recappable casing. All taxes, mounting,
and even wheel balancing, are included in this special
price.
Naturally, ALL OTHER SIZES REFLECT COMPARABLE SAVINGS.
We believe you will be pleased with the dual radius treads, and so
impressed with the overall mileage that you will in turn tell your friends,
and become a demonstrator for this economical way to safe driving.
We have also extended this special offer to all service stations in this
area, so you can drive to the place most convenient to you, and receive
quick service on a pair or set of premium retreads.

Humbert Jack Fugazy expects
to announce this week the
date and site of the third

fight, probably In March at
the Los Angeles Coliseum.

moved." After m o r o than four
months of bickering between
Feature Sports Inc., and the
Patterson group, Floyd an
nounced Thursday, "our dis
agreements are 90 per cent

The chief bone of conten
tion was whether the cham
pion should receive 50 per
cent of the promotion's re
ceipts from theater-television,
movies, radio, etc., of the
second fight with Swedish
Ingemar last June. Patterson's
pre-fight contract guaranteed
him 50 per cent.
Money In Escrow
But representatives of Fea
ture Sports later made a deal
with a person whom they
thought represented Patter
son and his de-licensed man
ager, Cus D'Amato, for Floyd
to receive 40 per cent, instead,
and Feature Sports has been
holding $100,000 of Floyd's
money in escrow, pending a
settlement.
Apparently Feature Sports
has decided to give the cham
pion his full 50 per cent be
