Another Gambler Sought For Connection With Football
'Fix' Attempt; Graziano Hearing Set For Friday
NEW YORK, Jun, 29 (P) Middleweight Boxer Rocky Graziurio will have opportunity Fri
day to convince the New York Athletic commission that the $100,000 bribe offer he claims to
have received was too "ridiculous" to report.
Graziano's chance for a return title bout with Middleweight Champion Tony Zule on March
21 possibly is at stake. ,..: ,....,.. , '
IJlKtriCt AllOmey frUIlK O. IlUfciHll, wiium llivcauttauun ui ppu.to i.un.-.-m aiivnvt.v lit!.- ii-aiui'
'i iu 'he conviction of one man and indictment of three others in connection with an attempted
' f'-' j.i professional football, disclosed the bribe offer to Graziano.
i'raiiano told reporters last night that HoRan and his assistants had twisted into something
V ui his story of being offered a bribe to "throw" his scheduled fight December 27 with
H-ri (Cowboy) Shank of Denver, repeating his story of the visit of an unidentified man to
M it ssine room, Graziano said: ,..,,. . .
"Thi" thiiiff was so ridiculous I figured the guy was kidding and I kidded back with him.
Nobody ever offeree me a oriue
cnrimitlv in mv whole career.
However, Chairman Eddie
Eagan ordered Graziano to ap
pear Friday oeiore ine nuucui
commission "in connection with
the circumstances surrounding
his cancelled fight" with Shank.
Irving Cohen, Graziano's man
ager, said he asked the cancel
lation after the fighter devel
oped a back ailment. Hogan
had said Graziano "faked" a
sore back to halt the match.
Eagan said the commission
can "take disciplinary action
if a fighttr has been offered
a bribe and has not reported
it to the commission." Ha
added that he would make
no statement regarding the
Graiiano-Zale match prior to
Friday's hearing.
Last September Graziano
gave Zale a pounding before
the champion rallied ,in the
sixth round to win by a knock
out. Their re-match was ex
pected to draw a gate that
would net Graziano close to
$100,000.
Hogan, declining to comment
on Graziano's complaint that
his story was misinterpreted,
meanwhile sent out a 48-state
alarm for David (Pete) Kra
kauer. indicted on bribery and
conspiracy charges in connec
tion with an attempt to "fix"
the National Professional Foot
ball league title game Decem
ber 15.
Krakauer, described by Ho
gan as a "known gambler." was
one of three men indicted Mon
day after the grand jury had
heard testimony by Alvin J.
Paris, who was convicted Janu
ary 8 of offering bribes to
Frank Filchock and Merle
Hapes of the New York Giants
to "throw" the December 15
game to the Chicago Bears. The
bribes were not accepted. The
Bears won, 24 to 14.
The other two indicted were
Harvey Stemmer and Jerome
Zarowitz, who pleaded innocent
at their arraignment yesterday.
Zarowita. said by police to
be a clerk in an Elizabeth. N.

which Paris was front man.

Deer Tagging
Change Urged
SALEM. Jan. 29 (jP) The
house game committee today re
commended passage of bills to let
the state game commission estab
lish a new system of tagging
deer, so that each piece of meat
would not have to be labeled,
and prohibiting non - residents
from hunting or trapping fur
bearing animals.
The committee also recom
mended bills prohibiting the bor
rowing of hunting or fishing
licenses, placing all of the Ump
qua river under game commis
sion control, and compelling
hunters to notify the game com
mission of elk kills.
The committee delayed action
on bills to increase the fees for
non-resident hunting and angling
licenses.
Talking Frog
Now Talks Alone
SALEM, Jan. 29 W The
Marion county talking frog has
hopped away and Matthew Tom
Nix says he will have to train
another second voice.
Nix explained that the tiny
frog he has used to keep in
practice the vocal chords once
stricken by paralysis jumped
from the jar in which he carried
it. The frog is presumably out
in the fields speaking for itself.
The Marion farmer earlier had
claimed that he regained use of
his vocal chords by using the
small frog in his mouth to emit
sounds. Later his own chords
strengthened and he only used
the frog to amuse friends and
keep his own voice strong.
About 18 per cent of Ameri
cans are engaged in farming.
