Weiser, who died early Saturday bout to be stopped due to Weiser's cause he was not the signed man- classified It as a "tragic accident. condition while fighting. agcr for Weiser and was only act-1 Dr. Adler summed up the nicet- TKSTIMONY Ing as a handler, he went along Ing, which was well attended by Following Moss' testimony, with the fight only upon Weiser's ' relatives of the deceased and many Frank Steele, tuneaeeper at tue say so.

Dr. George H. Adlcr, who Is the commission doctor and acted as the chairman of the three-hour hearing, stated following the gath ering of the managers, officials, members of the commission and Teddy Hall, Weiser's opponent, that he thought it was a very unfortu nate happening of fate, and ex pressed the deepest sympathies on behalf of the commission. . WITNESS (The first witness called to the stand at the hearing was Dr. J. Martin Adams, who was the acting yringsidc physician In the absence of Dr. "Adler. r; Drt Adams slated that he had - rhpr.keri all of the f itrhters before Vthc bouts started and found all of them to be in normal health and could see no reason why any of the fighters would not be able to conform to the commission rulings governing a fighter's health. When Dr. Adams checked the fallen fighter' in the ring immedi ately following the knockout, he found Weiser's heart and pulse to be in normal response, and the .same was found upon another thor ough check of the Beatty Bomber at the hospital, but as time went on, life began to lose its important ! battle for the well known fighter. An autopsy was performed by Dr. G. R. Nicholson, a member of both hospital staffs in Klamath ji'alls in the capacity of pathologist, and his report verilied the fact that Weiser had died of a brain hemorrhage. Dr. Nicholson's testimony also disproved any reports that the Jimmy Grow Weiser fight or the Di.ton Hoxsey - Weiser fight in the J past month or two had any bearing ton the fighter's death, since the ihemorrhase was so massive that jit would have had to happen in no .smore man 14 10 24 nouis preccuniK jtho autopsy, which was held late Saturday mornina. j EXPLAINED j Dr. Adler further explained this I point as he indicated that the hem- orrhage would have had to have i happened in the ninth round of the " light, the same round that Weiser ' collapsed, because of the massive ' ness of the hemorrhage. If it had "happened in the sixth or seventh (I rounds, the fight wouldn't have liasted the nine rounds it did. .j Wally Moss, the commission ret leree, who holds an official's 11 4 cense in 36 of the 48 stales of the J nation, was the next witness and 3 the major share of his questioning was based on the first round knock 1 down and disputed knockout of SHall. The explanation, which came from the ring rule book, this and many other commissions follows, a was made by Moss as he pointed out that it was weiser' ugnt ana he could have allowed the battle to go on or call it quits with a knock out victory to his record, even though Hall was perfectly all light to continue fighling. Moss, who was criticized by many fight fans following the bout for nermittinir the flBht to continue, 7 was acting under the rules of the National Boxing Commission and was in his own rights to let the fight go, providing Weiser wanted it that way, and he did. Promoter Mack Lillard, said the knockdown ruling here dll lers with those he has fought un der belore. In several cities, the count doesn't start until the fighter de livering the punch arrives at a neutral corner, in Klamath Falls hits the canvas. This is the reason Hall misunderstood Moss' i-mint in the initial round and knowing be bad to take an eight count, he stayed down instead of bobbing rignt Dack up. as all of the wit nesses testified they thought he was able to do. Hall, who was greatly disturbed by the tragedy, said that the thought he might give up the ring Dusincss Decause ot tne accident. Hall also mentioned that Weiser was just as strong in the ninth with hi blows as he was in the first two or three rounds. HANDLED Wark, Hall's manager, who has also handled Weiser In fights be fore, especially in Washington and northern fight circles, thought Wei ser was slowing down in the sixth or seventh rond, but as the Seat tle light manager, mentioned, "he did this often, likek he might be getting his second wind for the final two or three rounds." Weiser's handler and acting man ager, C. E. "Red" Mllhorn took the stand before the commission and stated that in test questions delivered to his fighter between rounds, the deceased fighters an swered all of them perfectly, and showed no signs of being in danger. Milhorn also asked the Bomber if he was hurt or if anything was. the matter, but the reply was negative, except he said he was "a little bit tired" at one time. Milhorn was against going on cedure. Milhorn also mentioned In answer to a question asked by a commission member, that his boy nad slowed a lltt.e but not to any point where he was unable to pro tect himself from Hall s blows. District Attorney Frank Alder- son, who was invited to the hear ing by Dr. Adler said afterwards, Grant Wins Prep Swim Championship Rosburg Captures Miami Open MIAMI, Fla. GB Bob Rosburg. a roly-poly young man who almost wasn't there, pocketed the $2,000 first prize money in the Miami Open Golf Tournament after a dis play of putting that had spectators bug-eyed. "I had decided not to come down for this one. It's a long way to Miami from California and I didn't think it would be worth the trip." the San Francisco putting perfectionist said yesterday after winning his first major tourna ment. "Now I'm awfully glad I changed my mind." The chubby, 28-year-old Ros- burr's putting was at a peak in the final round over the par 36-35 70, 6,620-yard Miami Springs course. His ability to stroke them in from as far as 50 feet away en abled him to vault from a tie tor sixth, two strokes off the pace Into first place.

Top Hoop Teams Bite Dust By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The betting today is that no col lege basketball learn will go through the season with fewr than two or three defeats. The campaign is lett. than two weeks old and already teams tapped for outstanding court sea sons nave been dumped uncere moniously from the unbeaten class. Exactly half of the ten 10 teams In the Associated Preys' preseason poll bit the dust for the first time Saturday. They were Duquesne (No. 3i, Iowa (No. 41, Holy Cross (No. 5), Niagara (No. 8) and Notre Dame (No. 9). Indiana (No. 6) was beaten earlier Ir. the week In addition, llth-rcnked Okla homa A&M was knocked off as were 12th-rated St. Louis, peren nially powerful Western Kentucky, North Carolina, Fordham, Army, Texas Christian and San Fran cisco. Duke, Penn Slate. Wake Forest and Kansas State also have been beaten. POWERFUL La Salle and Kentucky, one-two In last week's AP poll still were among the unbeatens but not be fore they were handed real, honest-to-goodness scares. The Explorers, behind from the opening whistle, were forced into overtime before eking out a 76-75 victory over Niagara. It took a desperation rhot by Bob Maples with only six seconds left for La 8alle to regis ter Its fourth triumph. Kentucky had its toughest game since it last was beaten, by SI. John's in 1952, edging Xavier of Ohio 73-69 for its 37th straight. The Wildcats led by only 70-69 with less than a minute remaining. Dayton and North Carolina State, ranked seventh and 10th respectively In the AP poll, im proved their prospects with re sounding victories. The Flyers of Ohio won their fourth in a row, burying Bowling Green 109-39, and the Wolfpack notched their fifth straight with a 56-53 win over Eastern Kentucky. The biggest shock was George Washington's 71-64 annual Ste: Bowl triumph over Duquesne. which admittedly was handicapped by the absence of Si Green, its spectacular scorer. Green was out with an attack of appendicitis. Joe Holun led the Colonials with 2b points. SURPRISE Iowa's 97-94 loss to Missouri also came as a surprise since the Hawkcyes are favored to capture the Big Ten title. I n d 1 a n n a, Big Ten defending champion, whipped Notre Dame 73-70 Saturday to hand the Irish their first home defeat since Feb ruary 1952 Holy Cross, rated one of the best teams In the East, was rocked Dy St. John's of Brooklyn, blowing a 35-33 half time lead to bow 93-73 Oklahoma's Aggies suffered their first loss at the hands of Illinois 59-63. the honors In the Individual scor ing action of last night's Alley Katz League at Lucky Lanes.
