TUESDAY, DECEMBER 6, 1960 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. ORE. xpansion Decision Is By MILTON RICHMAN United Press International St. Louis IUPD Baseball's monumental muddl e the expansion problem - was dumped squarely into Com missioner Ford Frick's lap to day and there appeared to be no other way out for him but to okey the . American League's plan to enter Los Angeles in 1961. The situation cries out for a decision and Frick will be forced to make one, in favor of either the American or Na tional League, by Wednesday. "I will not be hustled into a quick decision," said the harassed Frick. "I am going to take my time. I will an nounce my decision at the joint meeting Wednesday and I will do what I think is best for baseball." Must Referee Muddle Frick was pushed into the role of referee when the Na tional League gave strong in "Untried" Tornado Girds For Opening Declaring that his Black Tornado basketball aggrega tion is "strictly untried," Coach Frank Roelandt said yesterday that Medford high this season "could have a pretty good ball club if it starts to click." He added, "I think it will be a hit or miss situation un til we do." Getting ready for games here Friday night with Marsh field and Saturday night with North Bend, the Tornado is starting to expand into its "game stuff," according to Roelandt. He has been work ing a combination which in cludes Howard Brown, Jim Barry, Bob tjuinney, Dick Ragsdale and Stan Dowson. Alternating have been Scott Eaton, Steve Hoots, Bruce Bray and Mike Hood. Through last week condi tioning was still an aim in workouts. The Black Tor nado had some scrimmage and worked on its fast break and pattern offense. Pels Keep Poll Lead Portland - IUPII - Klamath Falls, which has a 1-1 record, today was ranked as Oregon's number one high school bas ketball team in the weekly Journal coaches' poll. Roseburg, also 1-1, was ranked second with Grant of Portland third.

The American League made virtually the same proposal last Nov. 22 and asked for an answer by the NL by Dec. 5. American League officials got their answer Monday when the National League voted against it. "That's dead!" said NL President Warren Giles, "ab solutely dead." Same Answer No Dice National League owners said they intended to give the American League exactly the same answer as Monday no dice. "In that case," said AL President Joe Cronin, "The American League has no al ternative but to go into Los Angeles in 1961." Cage Frays Both Hood and Hoots suf fered turned ankles last wek and their availability for this week end was uncertain at the time of a conversation with Roelandt yesterday. 13 on Varsity There are 13 men now on the varsity squad led by let termen Bob Quinney, 6-4, and Dick Ragsdale and Jim Bar ry, each 5-11. Hoots, 6-5, is the tallest Tornado. John Tichenor is ' 6-3 and Brown and Bray are each 6-2. Those standing 6-1 are Stan Dowson, Hood and Eaton. George Clearwater and Bob Schroed er are 6-footers and Bob Mc Intyre is 5-9. Ten of the players are jun iors. Juniors are Clearwater, Eaton and Schroeder. Roelandt indicated that there is "a lot to be desired" so far as squad progress is concerned. The Tornado has had more time to prepare for the start of its season than it had for the past two cam paigns but is not so far along as the mentor hoped it might be. This, however, may be "for the best," according to the coach. Medford junior varsity will provide the preliminary on both Friday and Saturday with some 30 players being divided for the games. This action will give Junior Var sity Coach Tom Maurer and Sophomore Coach Dean Ben son an opportunity to divide the squad for jayvee and so phomore games with other schools. Cicotte Named Top League Moundsman Montreal-IUPD - Al Cicotte, the Toronto Maple Leaf's lean and hungry looking right hander, was the undisputed "king of the mound" this year in the International league The 31year-old nephew of onetime Chicago White Sox Ditching great Ed Cicotte led the circuit with a brilliant 1.79 earned run average, 16 victories, 158 strikeouts and eight shutouts. He pitched 201 innings, completed 12 of 26 starts and walked 60 batters to compile one of the finest all-around pitching records in modern league history. retail delivered prieei. longer 1 13 in wheelbase Cruiser DeLEIGH MOTORS, 143 SOUTH RIVERSIDE lm-, passe, co-owner DanTopping of the New York ankees said his club would not insist on its territorial rights if the NL would agree to the nine-club Trying to break the sipaDHETS Defending Champ Makes Debut in Heavy Schedule Of Prep Basketball Tilts Season debut of a 1960 slate champion highlights prep bas ketball play this week end in southern Oregon.

Green Bay Favored by Waterfield Los Angeles-IUPII-The Green Bay Packers, presently tied for first place in the National Football League's western di vision, are the choice of Los Angeles Rams coach Bob Wa terfield to capture the division championship. The Packers are knotted with the San Francisco Forty rimers and Baltimore Colts. and though Green Bay lost to the Rams while the other two squads defeated Los Angeles, Waterfield stuck by his pick. Waterfield told the South ern California football writers Monday that the Packers are a "solid, sound football team." "The day we played Green Bay they were not at their peak strength and gave us the ball eight times, three on fum bles and five on intercep tions," he explained. The Ram coach blamed Bal timore's recent defeats on the Colts' lack of a running game comparable to that which they had in the past. But he said the Rams would have their hands full in trying to master Baltimore here Sunday. Los Angeles Charger cch Sid Gillman was in Dallas for tile American Football League draft, and assistant Joe Madro, who pinchhit for him said, the Chargers were happy about their fine efforts this year. "I only hope we continue playing the way we have for the next two games," he add ed, "so that there will be a third game for the playoff." Madro praised Candlestick Park in San Francisco, where the Chargers met the Oakland Raiders, as being equal or bet ter than any baseball park in the country that is used for pro football. 1 - 8 Visit your Dealer today.

Mysterious Blonde Not Available Washington - IUPII - She is a mysterious blonde with a gangster husband and a phony address a half mile out in Biscayne Bay off Miami. Senate investigators, con tinuing hearings today on the alleged underworld control of boxing, would love to have talk with her. But they can't find her. Who is this woman? She is Mrs. Frank Carbo, wife of a notorious racketeer now in a New York state prison. A few short years ago, ac cording to testimony, lie was boxing czar of the under world. The investigators headed bv Sen. Estes Kcfauver (D-Tcnn.) were told Monday that the International Boxing club (IBC) paid Mrs. Carbo some $45,000 for a job in which she did nothing. For "Good Will" The witness was Truman K. Gibson, former head of the IBC of New York and Illinois and right-hand man to James D. Norris, founder of the group and a former president himself. Gibson said the money was paid to Mrs. Carbo for the "good will" of her husband "and the effect it would have on managers with whom he was friendly and managers over which he had control." The money was a 10 per cent cut of the lake from sponsors of weekly televised fights, Gibson said, and was paid at Norris' suggestion. Records showed that Mrs. Carbo received the payments under her maiden name of Viola Masters. She was listed as an employe of the Novell Advertising Agency owned by norris and Arthur Wirtz, another organizer and top official of the IBC. Made Phone Calls Gibson said that Mrs. Carbo did nothing for the money ex cept make a few phone calls from Florida on "the condi tion of fighters." Questioned as to why the checks were made out to Viola Masters instead of Mrs. Carbo, Gibson smilingly con ceded that "it looked a little better on our records." The thinking at the time, he said, was that some, con gressional investigating com- mitteG mitfht want tn pVipMt uiee mitni want lO C11CCK them some day. Kcfauver chuckled at that one. Gibson said he disliked Car bo and even clashed with the racketeer in violent argu Only a gift of 7 Crown says so much, so beautiftjlly A decanter of classic beauty... a whiskey of incomparable taste.. .a handsomely packaged expression of your warmest holiday thoughts...

GIVE SEAGRAM'S AND BE SURE IIMKO W!t. 86 PROW. ii 0MH NMP.lt obster By OSCAR FRALEY United Press International Miami, Fla.-IUPti-There is no way of telling whether a criminal element still oper ates in boxing's shadowy back ground but, promoter Chris Dundee asserted today, the sport "isn't big enough any more to attract a real rack eteer." There could be a suspicion of this analysis in view of former International Boxing Club President Truman Gib son's testimony before the Kcfauver committee that jail ed mobster Frankie Carbo manipulated a national box ing network. Gibson also tes tified that Dundee once used Carbo's influence in an at tempt to obtain certain closed circuit television rights for a championship fighl. "That's a lot of bunk." Dundee snorted. "If he was so big and went to bat for me, doesn't it seem likely I'd have gotten it?" Dundee admitted lhat he knew Carbo but denied that he ever did any "business" with him.

Court Dissolves IBC The IEC, founded In 1949, was dissolved by federal court order Inst year because of its monopoly "strangle-hold on boxing bouts and television broadcasts of them. Testimony Monday also showed that Jack Kearns, a former manager of ex-heavy weight champion Jack Demp sey, was paid $115,000 by the IBC promoters. Gibson denied, how ever, that Kenrns was given the money as a "pay-off" to keep neace with the International Boxina Managers Guild which he was a leading light "He did a great deal more than spread good will and cheer for us," Gibson declared.

But in 11 years as a promoter in Miami Beach I've run as many as 50 shows a year and never once did any business with him. Okay, so who knows who's in the background, may be he was. But not to my knowledge." As for the "big money" long reputed to be part and parcel of the fight gamc "cutting up" fighters or betting - Dundee holds that such items are strictly mythi cal. "There is more betting on horses, football and baseball than there is on boxing," he said. "Believe it or not, a $200 bet can swing the price of a fight. No Pink Tea "Not too long ago I put on a bout," he added, "and a writer asked me what the price should be. I said it look ed like a 9-5 bet to me. So a friend of mine bet $200 on the underdog and the short endcr immediately became a 2-1 favorite. The writer ask ed me 'what's going on?' Right away, suspicion. But the man I figured should be 9-5 won it as I expected."
