Tile Indians have high hopes tor another pitcher and a blasting out fielder, but the Willie Sox will have tiiree strong contenders for rookie honors and the Senators are iaut- ing a young outlielder who hits big.

Guild Votes To V's Bio-Time Stand Pat, ioxiiig Out By JACK HAND NEW YORK IM Big-time boxing in New York Is dead. Final serv ices will be held Jan. 16. The Boxing Guild of New York last night voted unanimously not to dissolve its membership as or dered by Julius Helfand. chairman of the New York State Athletic Commission, who set a Jan. 16 deadline. The guild said It had the full support of the 16 oilier guild affiliates. We've done nothing wrong," said Charlie Johnston, president of the International Boxing Guild, ol which the local guild Is an affiliate. We're ready to fight In New York ; right now. But if he t Helfand) , takes our licenses away, we ! - iwn. Well go any where to get fights. None oi us is . resigning." Helfand Isn't backing down ; either, from the tone of his press conference yesterday afternoon. He ; blasted the Monday night televi sion light promoters who decided : to move to Baltimore, ettcctive i Jan. 23, and called one of the Balti more promoters wilh whom they will work "Frankle Carbo's rep resentative." Carbo, according to Hclland, is a notorious police char-1 acter with a powerful Influence in 1 boxing. i "I state from the most unlm- j peachable source that Benny Trot- ta twho promotes in Baltimore wilh his son-in-law Angelo Munafoi ! is Carbo's representative in the city of Baltimore," said Helfand. "In the last three weeks, previous to this deal (moving the televised fights from St. Nicholas Arena In New York to Baltimore I Ftankie Carbo and Benny Trotta, whose real name is Benny Magliano, met In the city of Baltimore to engi neer the deal." Helfand said he would hold a hearing to see if disciplinary action was necessary against Tex Sulli van and Willie Gilzenberg. the St. Nick's promoters. Under New York i law. a license can be revoked for I persistent association with a known criminal. He said Trotta and Mun afo have records of arrests. The two Baltimore promoters weren't available for comment but Nick Trotta, Benny's brother, de nied any dealings between his brother and Carbo and added that Munafo was a liquor licensee in Baltimore, saying, ''In Maryland, a criminal can't get a Jicense." Helfand obviously was upset by ' the fact that the Maryland Ath letic Commission, whose chiirman t J. Marshall Boone had promised to support his fight against the guild, had let him down. In Mary land. Gov. Theodore R. McKcldin ordered a "full and immediate" I investigation of boxing in Maryland and called on Boone for a "full and complete report" on the Mon day night transfer.
