TUESDAY, JANUARY 13. 15)59 HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH PALLS. OREGON PAGE NINE Heavyweight Title Fight Shapes; IBC Plans Appeal . NEW YORK (UPII - A new promotional group mapped plans today lor a world heavyweight ti tle light at Madison Square Gar den within three months while at torneys for the International Box ing Club considered means ol par tially reviving the IBC from its knockout by Uncle Sam. Young Bill Rosensohn of Los An geles reportedly heads the new promoting outfit; and henneth C, Royall of New York, former sec retary of the Army, heads the IBC attorneys who were slated for a meeting today with Truman Gib son, IBC president, and other IBC officials. The attorneys and IBC officials were to discuss the advisability of asking New York's Federal Dis trict Judge Sylvester J. Ryan to "soften" some of the dissolution orders of his 1957 monopoly de cree, which was affirmed Monday by the U.S. Supreme Court at Washington. Judge Ryan's sweeping antitrust Wertz First BoSox To Accept Contract United Press International Vic Wertz, one of baseball's "hard luck" players, is being counted on today to bring the Bos ton Red Sox good luck on the road this year. Wertz, 33-year-old outfielder-first-baseman acquired from ,the Cleveland Indians last month, be came the first Red Sox player to sign for 1959 when he returned his contract to General Manager Joe Cronin Monday. Cronin dis closed Wertz enclosed a note say ing. "You'll probably find the ink is hardly dry, I'm so anxious to clay with Boston." Manager Mike Higgins said he plans to alternate Wertz and Dick Gernert at first base ana adaea: "Wertz should be especially valu able to us' where we really need Writers Pick Jimmy Orr Top Pro Rook NEW YORK CAP) Jimmy Orr, an unheralded offensive end who gained stature with the Pitts burgh Steelers as the season pro gressed, today was voted the National Football League's 1958 rookie of the year in a close race with Bobby Mitchell of the Cleve land Browns. The 5-11 native of Seneca, S.C., who did his college playing for Georgia University, received 16 votes of the 41 football writers voting in the annual Associated Press poll. Mitchell, the speedy halfback who started the season as if he were going to run off with first year honors only to slow down in the final weeks, received nine votes. ' ,. In all, nine' freshmen were nomi nated. Los Angeles tackle Lou Michaels, Baltimore halfback Ray Brown and New York half back Phil King received four votes each. Single votes went to tackle Alex Karras of Detroit, quarter backs Mack Reynolds and Dale Meinert of the Chicago Cardinals and halfback-end Bill Anderson of Washington. . The 21-year-old Orr caught 33 passes, seven of them for touch downs and gained 910 yards, an average of nearly 28 yards per catch. help on the road. And, he always has done well in Detroit and at New York s Yankee Stadium. PITIFUL ROAD RECORD Higgins referred to the Red Sox' pitiful road record last sea son when they won 22 games and lost 55. Despite this performance, the Red Sox managed to wind up third in the American League. Wertz suffered a broken leg last year and missed all but the last month of the season. He got into 25 games in September, batted .279 and knocked in 12 runs. The Indians, meanwhile, brought their satisfied list to 25 with the announcement that pitch ers Dick Stigman, Bob Tiefenauer and Al Cicotte and shortstop Dick Strickland have agreed to terms. Stigman was 15-7 at Mobile, Tiefe nauer was 17-5 with a 1.89 earned run average as a -relief ace for Toronto and Cicotte had a 3-4 rec ord with, the Indians last season. Strickland was on the voluntarily- retired list in 1958. A'S SIGN SIMPSON , Other signings: Al Smith signed with the Chi cago White Sox and accepted a slight pay cut. He hit .252 and drove in 58 runs in 139 games last season. Harry (Suitcase) Simpson, who hit .253 in 76 games for Kansas City last year, returned his signed contract and predicted "1959- will be a better year than 1956." Simp son hit .293 and knocked in 105 runs in 1956. Catcher Ed Bailey, star rookie in 1957 but a disappointment last seasonj signed with the Cincinnati Redlegs. He is No. 5 on Gabe Paul's satisfied list. Bluth Takes Bowling Lead BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) - Ray Bluth of St. Louis, who blasted a near-record 1,400-series, holds the top spot today at the start of the final day in the first qualifying round in the All-Star Bowling Tournament. - The field of 192 men will be chopped in half at the end of to night's action. After. the semifinal 'Wednesday, the round - robin match-game -finals start Thursday. Bluth was three pins under the tournament record set by Chuck O'Donnell of St. -Louis in 1950. Bluth's 1,400 series included games of 187, 221, 267, 222, 246 and 257. His 18-game total is 3.862. In the women's division Olga door of Norwood Park, 111., led the 46 Qualifiers into the semi finals today and Wednesday. She shot an 802 scries Monday to boost her total to 2.413. The last woman to qualify from the first round was Faye McKen- lie of Lemon Grove. Calif. She has a total pintail of 2,171. Carol Wolaver of Chicago rolled a 238-game Monday, high for the dav in the women's division. ,In the men's division Jay Eckert of Paramus.

Sunday Results decree provides that James D. Norris and Arthur M. Wirtz, long time principals in the IBC, must sell all their stock in New York's Madison Square Garden Corp. And they must also dissolve .tfce IBC clubs of Now Y'ork and Illinois. When the Supreme Court upheld that decree, it delivered a knock out to the IBC. and it gave the government final victory in its six year fight to bust the monopoly. But it lett the boxing world in an atmosphere of uncertainty of hope mingled with doubt doubt that the powerful Norris group, which had nearly absolute control over the fight game since May, 1949, would actually yield that con trol. Optimistic Jack Dempsey said at Chicago the Supreme Court de cision produced a "new birth" for boxing. The ex-heavyweight chain pion said it "will take the hobble chains off boxing and put the small clubs back into operation." But in New York, Cus D Amato manager of heavyweight chain pion Floyd Patterson said, "Al though I'm overjoyed at the deci sion, 1 m also sure that the IBC now will try to attack me more viciously and aggressively than ever before since they no long er have any reason for restraint no longer have to pursue a soft- pedal policy while awaiting the Supreme Court s decision. CHARGES IBC D'Amato, a crusader against the IBC, claims that the Norris outfit has persistently tried to interfere with Patterson defending his title for independent promoters. Whether there s any basis for D'Amato's lingering suspicions will be determined when the Ros ensohn group attempts to stage Patterson's next title defense as an independent operation at the Garden. In addition to the dissolution of the two IBC clubs and the divorce ment of Norris and Wirtz from the Madison Square Garden Corp. Judge Ryan's decree provided that both the Garden and the Chicago Stadium open their gates to "any duly qualified promoter" for the next five years. And only a "fair and reasona ble" rental can be charged for those punch eniporiums. District courts will settle any arguments over rents. Those provisions should encour age new promoters to attempt ti tle fights. SHAKE-UP TV BOUTS Another encouraging provision limits the Garden and Chicago Stadium corporations to staging two title fights each during any year. That should enable inde pendent promoters to find avail able title dates at those sites. The decree is expected to cause a shake-up of some sort, in the Wednesday and Friday-night TV fights. It provides that all exclu sive contracts for the promotion of boxing events, including non-title bouts, are banned. The current contracts for both shows end in June, but they could be assigned to special boxing departments set up by the Garden and Chicago Stadium. Score, Garcia Play Big Roll For Indians By JOE GORDON .Manager, Cleveland Indian SACRAMENTO, Calif. (UPI- The Cleveland Indians' pennant hopes this season hinge on the recovery from operations ot two established stars and the develop ment of several boys who are ong on potential but short on ex perience. Of course, our biggest question mark is Herb Score. If that left- handed fireballer recovers from the injury which almost cost him his- eye, he will be hard to stop. Score could be the best pitcher in the American League this season or he could be just another has-been.

Mike had a disc opera tion last summer and it might have cured his bad back. He worked out with us near the end ot the season and seemed to be ok. I'm convinced he can still throw. The man with the best potential on the club is outfielder Rocky Colavito. He came into his own for the first time near the end of last season and if he improves at the same rate this year he can become one of the greatest hitters in baseball. We are also looking for good seasons from Minnie Minoso and Larry Doby. If these boys come through, we 11 be tough to beat There was some talk last season that the Indians might be moved away from Cleveland because the fans were no longer supporting the club. I think we have the kind of team this year that will lure the citizens of Cleveland back to Municipal Stadium. We are going to have a fast, hustling club with a lot of young players. It should be interesting to watch all season. We've got a lot of fellows who like to win and they are going to play that way. General Manager Frank Lane obtained Billy Martin for second base. Everyone knows he's a hust ler. As an old second baseman my self, I think Martin is the best man available. There may be bet ter second sackers in the majors, but they were not for sale this winter. , We had lo give up Don Mossi and Ray Narleski to get Martin and Lane was criticized in some quarters for the move. But think we 11 have good pitching even without Don and Ray, and 1 think Martin will be of great help to the ball club. Another hustler is .lim Piersall, who we obtained this winter from Boston. He'll get a try at the cen ter field position along with Doby, Woodie Held and former San Francisco Forty Niner football star Carroll Hardy. One thing I like about this hall club is the versatility of the play ers. Almost everyone on the team can. play more than one position with equal ability. At first base we could use Doby Vic Power or Mickey Vernon. At second it could be Martin or Power. The possible shortstops are Held, Bill Hunter, Bill Har tell and Bill Moran. The third baseman could be Held, Power, Harrell, Earl Aver ill or Randy Jackson. Catching we 11 have Russ Nixon and Dick Brown backed up by Hal Naragon. The most versatile pcriormcrs are Power and Held. We can use them almost any place we need them. This will give us added depth without additional players. w I, 49 27 44 .12 41 .13 41 35 3R 38 37 39 36A 39t .14 42 34 42 34 42 34 42 33 ',, 42 'i Hydcs Jewelers Women of the Moose Klamath Flower Blngs Cafe Spud Nut Shop Frans Food Park Cabinet So.

Vossler had been engaged in a head-and-head battle with Tommy Bolt when he broke loose on a string of five consecutive threes- four of them birdies in tne oacK nine.

Cooper had been offered a $72 000 guarantee to challenge for the world crown before he bounced off the canvas Monday to gain a 15-round decision over London in one of the bloodiest ring bat tles ever staged in the British Isles. The husky, blond Londoner real ized his stunning victory stamped him as the next logical opponent for Patterson, who is the first heavyweight king to offer guaran tees lo challengers to prevent them from running out on match. cs. That undoubtedly explained Cooper's demand for a hike in the guarantee. Cooper suffered the only knock- down of Monday's brawl before 18.000 at Enrls Court arena when a hard right to the chin in the fifth round dropped him to one knee.
