Measure Proposes
Ring Commissioner
Washington -(UPD- Branding
No. 1 heavyweight contender
Sonny Liston "mob control
led," Sen. Estes Kefauver has
introduced legislation to cre
ate a national professional
boxing commissioner.
The Tennessee Democrat
told the senate Wednesday
that the commissioner should
be given enough federal pow
er to deliver a knockout blow
aaainst "underworld control
of boxing."
He singled out Liston as an
example of a fighter con
trolled by racketeers, listing
Frank Bllnky Palermo, John
Vitale and Frank Carbo. He
termed them "three powerful
racketeers" operating through
a "front manager," Joseph
Pep Barone.
Kefauver warned that If
Liston should be matched
against world champion Floyd
Patterson, and win, "we face
the ugly prospect of having
the heavyweight champion
ship revert to mob control."
Fivo-Year Cleanup
The boxing control bill
would empower the national
commissioner to conduct a
five-year clean-up drive.
Kefauver, chairman of the
Senate antitrust and monop
oly subcommittee, said his
aim was to "aid the states In
their efforts to drive the rack
eteers out of boxing."
The bill would empower
the commissioner to license
professional boxers, manag
ers, promoters, and matchmak
ers. The new federal boxing
czar would operate within the
Department of Justice.
To strengthen the clean-up
role, the bill calls for stiff
criminal penalties for viola
tions, and permits the commis
sioner to use the FBI for in
vestigations. .

By NORMAN MILLER
United Press International
Mesa, Ariz. - As long as the
Chicago Cubs have slugging
Ernie Banks and a tew prom
ising young pitchers, it's a rea
sonable bet they'll avoid the
National league cellar, no mat
ter how many coaches or man
agers are assigned to guide
tnem this season.
In fact, with a solid infield
to support their pitching and
three good rookie prospects,
there's a chance the Cubs will
boost their standing one notch
to sixtn place.
More than that, however,
seems too much to expect this
season, with all due regard for
owner Phil Wrigley's coaching
setup.
It is questionable whether
the widely discussed multi-
coach system will have much
bearing on where the Cubs
finish. By the time the season
starts, they are expected to
have the conventional leader
ship of a "head coach" and
three aides. The boss probably
will be Harry Craft, Elvin
Tappe or Bobby Adams.
To get back to the players,
who are more important any.
way, there is always Banks,
who shows no signs of slowing
down his remarkable iron
man pace. He will start the
season with a string of 654
consecutive games.
And barring serious injury,
he can undoubtedly be count
ed on for his 40-plus home
runs and more than 100 runs
batted in.
Has Help
Banks should get some add
ed long-ball support this sea-
son from first baseman Ed
Bouchcc and third baseman
Ron Santo. Bouchee, who hit
a lack-lustre .242 in 1060
when he was traded from the
Phils to the Cubs, reported to
camp this spring 42 pounds
less than last year. He has hit
the ball well in exhibition
games.
Santo, at 21, is tabbed for
stardom by Adams, the Cubs
infield coach. He is a good
fielder and the Cubs expect
him to contribute about 20
homers.
Keystone of the infield is
scrappy Don Zimmer, who
says he has discarded the big
swing and is having marKea
success in punching the ball
to right field. Zimmer revels
in his new role as a hit-and-
run batter. He is not a pol
ished fielder but gets the job
done with his strong arm.
Leading off in front of these
is .slash-hitting Richie Ash
burn, who combined his hits
and walks to get on base more
than 200. times last season. He
batted .291. If he repeats, he
should get plenty of base-run-nlng
exercise thissumnier.
Coaches' Size-Up
So much for the brunt of
the Cubs' offense. How do
they shape up at various other
departments? The answers
were supplied in a canvass of
the coaches responsible for
pitching, catching, infield and
outfield.
Here's how they sized up
matters:
Adams - "We are very well
fixed in the Infield. This is
not strictly an offensive in
field. Everyone can play his
position well.
Frank Thomas can fill in
for Bouchee at first base, as
vell as play third and the out
field. Jerry Kindall, Sammy
Drake and Jim McKnight are
spares at the other intield
spots, with one due to be cut.
Craft - "We have six or
eight good outfielders in
camp, but most of them are
left fielders." Meaning that
only a few of them can throw
well.
Ashburn should . start in
left. The best defensive out
fielder in the Cubs' camp is
Al Heist, who hit .299 at Sac
ramento. He is battling for the
center field job with Lou
Johnson .289 at Houston and
George Altman .266 for the
Cubs.
Billy Williams, another
rookie who batted .323 at
Houston, heads the right field
candidates. Bob will probably
stay on as a spare, but Danny
Murphy, the 18-year-old $100,
000 bonus boy, is expected to
be farmed out for more ex
perience.
Names Starters
Vedle Himsl, the pitching
coach said the Cubs' four
starters will be Glen Hobbie
(16-20), Bob Anderson (9-11),
Dick Ellsworth (7-13) arid Don
Cardwell (8-14).
Lefty Jim Brewer and
rookie Jack Curtis are com
peting for the No. 5 starting
role, with Joe Shaffernoth the
middle-inning reliever and
rubber-armed Don Elston and
reclaimed Mel Wright the late
inning firemen. Elston has ap
peared in a total of 194 games
during the past three seasons.
Dick Drott and Moe Dra
bowsky, who in 1957 won 28
games combined, are making
comebacks from arm miseries.
Drott looks the better of the
two at present. One may be
cut from the staff.
Tappe stressed there are
four good catchers in camp
and all may be kept until the
season opens. Sammy Taylor
is the best hitter and the most
experienced of the four. But
the one who is getting the
closest scrutiny is rookie Dick
Bertell.
"He'll either be one-two on
the staff or he'll be sent out
again," Tappe said. "He s an
excellent prospect, but there's
no sense keeping him on the
bench."
Tappe rates Moe Thacker
the best thrower among the
receivers while rookie Cuno
Barragan, obtained in last
winter's draft, "has been a
pleasant surprise the way he's
handled the pitchers."
The Cubs' catching, it
seems, is like the coaching. No
one seems to know who'll be
No. 1 on opening day.
