11(45 champions for the first
time.
For the Dodgers' youthful

then around the 'horn to St.

Ike Williams
Is Favored
Over Bolanos
LOS ANGELES, April 30 (AP)
Deadpan Ike Williams, NBA
lightweight champion from
Trenton, N. Y., ruled a 1 to 2
favorite over Challenger En
rique (The Beezer) Bolanos of
Durango, Mex., for their 15
round, outdoor title bout to
night at Wrigley field.
Barring rain, a 25,000 crowd
and a $100,000-plus gate ap
peared certain for the first ma
jor open-air fight here in two
years.
Barring snow veteran ring
birds consider it that sure the
hard-hitting Williams was
tabbed to make his first title de
fense a winning one, possibly
via the kockout route. The
champion's' two-fisted barrages
have slumberized 33 opponents
in 81 fights during his rugged
six-year career.
Barring hail a driving
stream of lefts by Bolanos, that
is the dusky defender could
duplicate his crown-lifting, sec
ond-round Knockout ot juan
Zureta in Mexico City April
18, 1945.
The speedy Bolanos, trying to
return the title south of the bor
der, has been carefully groomed
by George Parnassus, who also
manages Zurita. Unless he gets
his prominent proboscis in the
road, of one of Williams' jolting
hooks, the 21-year-old challenger
will set a lightning pace which,
his backers believe, may wear
down the champ.

Unfair Diamond Practices
BOSTON, April 30 OP) The

was the first move against any

Earle K. Shaw, regional NLRB

"One question," he asserted,
"is whether the board has juris

the Washington baseball club is

of the N1.RB act."
The action brought from Clark
Griffith, the Washington ball club
owner, the assertion that he
never had talked "with any base
ball players about joining a
union. If a player wants to go
into that sort of thing that s his
business."
He added that his only com

news interview and that "they

"I'm not in the least bit in

say. He now has the opportunity
to be heard at a national labor

"If Griffith wasn't accustomed
to popping off we'd have no
reason for such a hearing."

Boxing Master Larkin sur
vived three knockdowns under
the iron-fisted punching of Wind
mill Willie Joyce of Gary, Ind.,
only to go on, thanks to fleet
foot-work and expert left-Jiib-bing,
to crown himself as the
first postwar junior welter
weight titlist by gaining an
unanimous 12-round decision in
bruising fashion last night at the
Garden.
Those battlers were engaged
in a return match, after almost
year s lapse, and Joyce had
much the best of it during the
early stages. In their previous
clash Joyce, while battling from
a stand-up stance, was defeat
ed by a decided margin.
He elected to battle from a
douching style last night when
they got started in their 12
round bout, the winner of which
was to be recognized as the fab
ulous forties junior welter
weiHht ruler, not only by the
Massachusetts boxing commis
sion, but also the National Box
ing association's solons and the
New York state commissioners
as well.
