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

"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.

dication that it will reject the
American League's latest pro
posal which would welcome
the NL into New York next
season, providing it would
agree to two nine-club leagues
with inter-league play.
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.

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.

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

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.

"Sure I knew him," he said,
"Who didn't? I met him back
in 1937 around Stillman's
Gym in New York. He was
imaging Johnny Greco. 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
