Fumes Over
Santee Case
NEW YORK VH The long-
range feud between ace mlier Wes
Santee and the Amateur Athletic
Union dragged on its weary way
Tuesday with AAU major-domo
Dan Ferris stepping up to take a
couple of verbal swings.
His target, as always, was San-
tee's outspoken attorney, Charles
P. Grimes, who ras beaten the
AAU in the courts twicei-once by
having its lifetime ban against
Santee stayed and again by suc
cessfully fighting off an AAU ef
fort to have the injunction wiped
out.
In the process of Issuing state
ments Sunday, Grimes touched on
many subjects, hinted darkly that
several states might drop out of
the AAU, mentioned that the AAU
might need a new lawyer for the
hearing on the Injunction coming
up Friday and suggested that per
haps there was not a quorum pres
ent at the AAU executive commit
tee meeting which bnnned Santee.
"I've heard that phony stuff be
fore," fumed Ferris, referring to
Grimes' prediction that the AAU
would be minus four states. "I
suspect that It is Grimes who Is
deciding for the states."

has been moved from March
9-10 to March 12-13.
Oregon Tech, along with three
other junior college teams in
this region, will vie for a trip
to the National Junior College
Tournament the week of March
at Hutchinson. Kansas.
The other three teams in the
tourney are Uoise. College of

Dixie, a recent replacement for
U'euer J. C. which pulled out of
the elimination playoffs.
This will be the first nuch

the Owls have been classed as
the tournament "dark horse",
with Boise tabbed as the team to
beat.
The pairings for the Cedar
City play find Boise meeting
Dixie in the first game Monday
night, while Oregon Tech plays
College of Southern Utah, the
host team, in the second game
Monday. On Tuesday the two
losers meet for consolation hon
ors, while the two Monday win

Palm berg said the reason the
tournament had to be changed
is the fact the dates conflicted
with a high school basketball
tournament only 30 miles from
Cedar City, and tournament of
ficials were afraid that the at
tendance of both would be hurt.

NEW YORK Wl Charley John'
ston, manager of two world cham
pions and president of the Inter
national Boxing Guild, today laces
a State Athletic commission near-
ins that could cost him his license.
Commission Chairman Julius
Holland ordered written charges
drawn up against Johnston, man
ager of featherweight ruler Sandy
Saddler and light heavyweight
king Archie Moore, for violating
commission rules. Similar cnarges
were lodged against Manager
Carmine Tarantino.
The commission will decide
probably next week whether
their licenses should be suspended
or revoked.
Both Johnston and Taranilno ad
mitted at a commission hearing
Monday that they shared in the
management of three Italian fight-
err Paolo Rosl, Italo Scortlchini
and Livlo Mlnclll but had no1
filed assignee contracts with the
commission as commission rules
require.
Tarantino admitted that in sub
mitting the contracts of light
weight Hosl and middleweight
Scortlchini he had sworn to the
commission that he was the sole
manager and no one else had any
Interests In the fighters. Johnston
admitted the snme for Minelll, a
welterweight now retired.
Stengel
'Afraid'
Of Hose
ST. PETERSBURG. Fla. (UP)
i Casey Stengel, who is mighty high
on his own New Yon tanaees.
admitted today that he was
"afraid" of the Boston Red Sox.
"I'm not counting Cleveland,
i Chicago or Detroit out of it, nut
I gotia be honest and tell you mat
Boston has me scared," said
Stengel, who is trying for his
seventh American League pennant
in eight years.
But then he winked In that sly
wav ol his and added, quickly:
"That Red Sox infield Is
a question mark though,
defensively."
Ii was the only thing, he In
dicated, which he thought might
keep Mike Higgins' club from
taking it all this coming season.
GOOD OUTFIELD
Look at that outfield." he ex
claimed. "That guy (Ted) Wil
liams, is going to be with them
all season. Then there are those
other two fellas, (Jackie) Jensen
and (Jim) Peersall. Who's got a
better outfield in the league?"
Before his Interviewer had a
chance to answer the question, ha
replied to it himself:
"Nobody!"
"And their pitching could be
great," he added. "They have
lot of young kids who can throw
bullets. And maybe while the in
field Is not too good defensively, it
will hit and that guy they got
from the Senators, ( Mickey Ver
non ain't going to hurt em any.

Porterfield.
They are going to be tough.
all right."
He said he wasn't "counting
Cleveland out of It."
You can't with that pitching.
he explained.
OLD GUY
And that great old guy,
(Bucky) Harris, isn't out of It with
that Detroit club either. Maybe ne
needs a little more pitching, but
he's got the best left side of the
Infield in the league and there
ain t nothing wrong with his right
and centerfielder.'
That left side of the infield Is
made up of Ray Boone at third
and Harvey Kuenn at snort wnne
the outfielders he referred to are
At Kaline. the American League's
batting champion last season, and
Bill Tuttle, who. Casey said, "can

Now don t discount those White
Sox, either," he went on. "That
guy. (Martv) Marion, did a hell
of a job with that team last year.
As a matter of fact, all of tne
managers In the league must have
done good Jobs. They weren't fired
any ol them, were iney? some
people say well what about
(Chuck) Dressen7 He didn't do so
well with the Senators, huh?
"Well let me tell you this. He
did a fine Job of managing so far
as I'm concerned. He won the
pennant for us because his team
beat the Indians, something we
couldn't do.'

NEW YORK (UP) Welterweight
Gene Poirier of Niagara Falls,
N.Y., said today his improved left
hook had enabled him to stop
Danny Jo Pere of New York on
bloody face cuts In the eighth round
of their return TV fight at St.
Nicholas Arena Monday night.
Poirier, who weighed 151 pounds
to Danny Joe's 148. said, "I used
to concentrate so much on my right
I was almost a one-handed fighter.
But I've been working hard on my
left hook since I fought. Perez before."
Gene, 23, won a unanimous 10-
round decision over Perez at St.
Nick's last July 25.
Folrer, favored at 11-5. suffered
a nick on his right brow and a
three-stitch cut on his left brow
while giving Perez such a licking
he was almost out on his feet at
the close of the eighth round. Left
hooks to the head and right
smashes to the body were Gene's
most effective weapons. Two right
uppercuts near the end of the
eighth almost dropped Danny Jo.

'RUNNER-
UP
By OSCAR FRALEY
'NEW YORK (UP) They say of
Rory Calhoun, the young tiger of
the middleweight, that "he can
kill you with his right hand and
put you in the hospital with his
left."
That is, naturally, quite a build
up for a young fellow who has had
only 18 professional bouts. But half
of those brawls, all on Calhoun's
credit side, have been by knock
out.
Which prompts the question of
which is the main event as Lud-
wig Lightburn battles on L. C.
(Mystery) Morgan at Madison
Square Garden on Friday night.
Calhoun appears in what is
billed as the semi-wlndup against
Andre Tesster of Springfield, Mass.
It could be quite a bout because
Tessier, another newcomer, has a
string of nine going for him which
includes six knockouts.
The mystery of the piece. In ad
dition to the unknown Morgan, is
why the New York State Athletic
Commission okayed a feature bout
for him and refused to permit Cal
houn to battle in a windup event.
Because Morgan has appeared in
only 15 pro bouts and twice has
been defeated.
MANAGED
"I don't know what Is going on,"
growls Calhoun pilot Prank Bach
man, who managed such cham
pions as Maxie Rosenbloom. Lew
Jenkins and Bob Olln. "I tried to
ENTITLED TO EVERY HOMER
DETROIT (VP) General Manager
Herold (Muddy) Ruel of the De
troit Tigers was praising Charley
Lau, a 22-year-old catching pros
pect.. "He's a good hitter." Ruel
said. "He hit 18 home runs for
Durham in the Carolina League
last season." "Er, excuse me. Mr.
Ruel." said Lau shyly. "I really
hit 19. I wrote to the League about
It. One got lost in the shuffle
see the commission and Julius Hel-
fand wouldn't talk to me."
But Bachman. while not claim.
ing that Calhoun is ready for such
ast Ray Robinson or Bobo Olson,
does think that his lad is ripe for
any number of the other hotshols.
His particular target Is Gen
Fullmer.
Certainly Calhoun, who Is 21. has
come a long piece in a short time.
The son of a minister in Atlanta,
Ga., and the seventh of 11 children
which certainly denotes some sort
of mystic good luck under the
numerology system, he looms
large on the middleweight horizon.
Rory began to box in an Atlanta
YMCA while he was working on a
farm m the suburbs. Intent on a
boxing career, and with the bless
ings of his mild-mannered father,
Calhoun moved to New, York to
live with an aunt.
GLOVES FINALS
He continued his boxing in the
Police Athletic League and went
to- the Golden Gloves finals at
Madison Square Garden. Then, in
September of 1954. he turrifcd pro
fessional after winning 38 of his 30
amateur bouUs.
Aggressive, rugged and a deadly
puncher, he is likened to the fight
ers of the old school irr that he
assertedly learns something in
every bout, listens willingly and
has to be chased out of the gym
nasium. Bachman flinches at a premature
buildup. His theory is that "if they
think he is so good, nobody wiii
want to fight him."
But those who have seen him in
action rate Calhoun as one of the
really great prospects of recent
years. If he goes well on Friday
night, the commission will have to
open the door. Once that happens,
you'll be hearing plenty about this
boy..
