Ring Ace Charged In Crime NEW YORK AP Johnny Sax ton, who earned a quarter of a million dollars as world's welter weight champion, has heen ar rested in a burglary which netted $5.20 in cash. Spotted Wednesday night on a fire escape of a .Jamaica, Queens apartment house, the onetime Ne gro ring ace was captured by po lice, but not before he put up e battle. He was charged with burglary and held for a hearing. Saxton, H, lost his title in 1956. He told police all the money he made in his 10-year professional career was gone, and that he owes $lfi,000 in back taxes. "I'm n o t working. I needed money. I'm spending most of my time up in Harlem training young fighters," he said. Police said Saxton tossed a mall valise into a clump of bushes. In it was $5.20. a fur cape, and a pack of cigarettes. The cape and hag were identified by Adelaide Farrell, 55, a sixth-floor tenant. A nativt of Newark, N.J.. Sax ton made his pro ring debut in 1949.

But there's talk of a possible In vitation for Seattle to the National Invitational joust this year. Fur thermore, with players such as Cousins and Dom Ogorek due to return next season, the Chieftains could well be back next year, knocking on the door to the NCAA tour new In other action. San Francisco turned in one of its best efforts of a dismal season with a 66-60 defeat of College of Pacific. Key to the Don success was on the boards where Fred LaCour plucked 18 rebounds and John Cunningham 17 while Leroy Wright, the nation's top rebounder. only got 16.

(AP) Memo a Buttle Bavasi, general manager of the Los Angeles Dodgers: Don Newcombe had a winlesa record with the Dodgers last year not oecause he was lazy and wasn't trying. He actually suf fered from a pulled hack muscle, just as he claimed. Wayne Anderson, trainer of the Cincinnati Reds, the club to which the big pitcher was traded, at tests to that. "There's no question about it." Anderson vouched. "The longitu denal chored which extendi across the shoulders, was affect ed. 1 recognized the symptoms the first time I examined him. I just busted it down with therapy and massages and heat treatments did the rest." Newcombe, baseball's outstand ing pitcher only three years ago, was only a shadow of his former self in 1958. After losing all seven decisions, he was traded hy the Dodscrs to the Reds 45 minutes before the June 15 deadline. It took Newcombe a long time to get over the shock. I told them I had a torn mus cle." said big Newk. "but I don't think they believed me. They thought I wasn't trying but the shoulder hurt tike the devil. The doctors put needles into it to deaden the pain. But they did nothing to heal it. I'd be all right for four-five innings then the arm would go dead." Newcombe won his first start for the Reds. 6-1 against St. Louis. He finished with a 7-6 Cincinnati record. 25 11 23 17 64 27 3360 Jl 3361 Merrill season scoring: r. rr Avf Rurt Maupin 21 .10S 14 S Bruc Bnrknr IB 271 14 3 John Hatkin IS 2.TS 12(1 Dnnll Salvador! 21 Id! 7 7 Brian Fildt IS 9.1 3. !Dan Haakina 21 7 41 RIM Rraily 12 40 2 1 Ed ParnII s 12 2 4 (Rurkv Wilaon 2 20 Hill Artery 4 A is nick Charlrlon A, e in Dick Marka 2 2 10 Mrrrill Tntala 21 t-KI MJ Opp. Tatala tt inn S7.B Herrera Hits 34 To Lead T-Birds The ThundcrhLrds. aided by lit tle Smiley Herrera's 34 points, trounced thr Celtics 61-39 Wednes day night in Victory T-eafiiie Action at Mills .School.
