MeWFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON FRIDAY, MAY 18, 1962 B 3 Arrest of Molinas Climaxes Probe in College Hoop Fixes By TIM MORIARTY New York-ftlPD-Dist. ' Atty. Frank S. H o g a n, highly Pleased with the arrest of Jack Molinas as the alleged master Hind in the college basket Dall "fix" scandals, today promised to "keep the ball jouncing" in his tireless probe. "We are continuing the in vestigations," Hogan said after Molinas, a former court star, was indicted Thursday for bribing or conspiring to bribe 22 players from 12 colleges to dump 25 games from coast to coast. Molinas, 30, who was bar red from playing in the Na tional Basketball association in 19S4 after admitting he had bet on games in which he played for the Fort Wayne now Detroit Pistons, pleaded innocent at his arraignment and was released on $5,000 bail. Covert 51 Cities The ex-Columbia university high scorer declined com ment when he appeared in general sessions court but later told United Press Inter national that "when this mat ter is finally resolved, my in nocence will be fully establish ed." The arrest of Molinas, who became a lawyer after he was tossed out of the NBA, cli maxed a 21-month Investiga tion of the nationwide gam bling conspiracy which took Hogan's investigatorts into 51 cities and 22 slates. It also broke up what Hog an described as "the Molinas ring" a ring that included a group of 11 co-conspirators from New York, Chicago, Pittsburgh and St. Louis, plus the 22 former college play ers. Molinas, who faces prison sentences of nearly 35 years and fines of more than $30, 000 if convicted, was the 10th alleged fixer caught in Hog an's net since he started his Preakness Shapes As 3-Horse Affair By RAY AYRES Baltimore-IUPD - The 86th running of the $188,300 Preak ness Stakes Saturday shapes up as a three - horse race among Jaipur, Decidedly and Ridan. However, the owners and trainers of the eight other en tries today offered logical ex planations for giving their colts a crack at the second of the Triple Clown classics. The outsider in the field is a colt named Flying Johnnie, generally listed in .the pro gram line at 30-1 but who will probably go off at 100-1. "A horse like that should not be in the race," said Hor atio Luro who trains Decided ly, the Kentucky Derby win ner for the El Peco Ranch of George A. Pope. "A classic should have dig nity, and unless you think your horse can finish one-two-three you should not start him," the Argentinian claim ed. But Paul Hampshire, owner of the Jopa Stable along with his father, John H.. and broth er, John D., believes Flying Johnnie has a chance to be in the money. "Flying Johnnie is not too fast out of the gate but he has shown some speed at the end and we think he deserves a shot at the best," Hamp sire said. Also listed at 30-1 is Prego. At 20-1 is Green Hornet. Vimy Ridge and Greek Money are 15-1. Sunrise County, Crimson Satan and Roman Line offer more solid credentials than the other outsiders. Dodge trucks just won't give up. That's been my experience with three of them in more than 20 years. Now I have a one-tonner. I farm 525 acres of tobacco, wheat and corn, with a few head of cattle. So the Dodge is on the go all the time, on the road, in fields, across gullies. In 35,000 miles the brakes or engine haven't had a wrench on them. And the V8 engine is giving better than 15 miles to a gallon!?? T. D. Carter, Summerfield, South Carolina DODGE TRUCKS FOR 1962 can do better than that. More than 50 engineering advances make these the toughest, most tight-fisted Dodges ever built. Most gasoline-powered models have new distributors and high-speed , starters; all have a 35-amp alternator as standard equipment And their prices are lower than most of the competition's, right in ; line with the rest See your Dodge dealer.
