PHILADELPHIA —UP-
The Pennsylvania Athletic Com-
mission. with the name of Frankie
Carbo in the record. moved into its
sixth day of testimony in the hear-
ing on the Harold Johnson-Julio
Mederos bout Wednesday with
Tommy Loughrey. Johnson’s man-
ager of record, on the stand.
Carbo, sometimes called a domi-
nant figure in the matching of box-
ers and the booking of bouts, be-
came part of the record Tuesday
when the commission fished at
finding out whether he had any-
thing to do with the nationally-tele-
vised fiasco of last May 6 when
Johnson blacked out between the
second and third rounds.
Jimmy White of New York and
Miami, manager of Mederos, was
questioned sharply by Commission-
er Al Klein, veteran attorney of the
Kefauver Senate crime ommittee
investigations. But the same cur-
tain of anonymity which keeps Car-
bo in near-obscurity rolled down.
White, a veteran of more than 25
years in the boxing game, identi-
fied Carbo only as “a fellow that’s
around.” And when Klein asked
when White saw him, the answer
was, "when I bump into him.”

Champ Sandy Sadder
SACRAMENTO —VP— Light,
weight Joey Lopes, Sacramento,
staved off a brutal last round at-
tack on his battered eye Tuesday
night to score a unanimous upaet
hometown decision over feather-
weigh king Sandy Saddler of New
York.
Lopes scored on the distance
shots while taking an inside batter-
ing from the agile Saddlr. There
were no knockdowns, but Lopes
had the champion staggered in
three separate rounds,
Lopes made his most telling at-
tack in the ninth, knocking out Sad-
dler’s mouthpiece early in the
round. He scored freely with both
hands. However, Lopes right eye,
which has been swollen badly since
the second round, broke open and
bled freely. In the final lopsided
stanza, Saddler tatooed lefts on the
injured eye but. could not gain the
decistop.
Referee John Basinelli displayed
little patience with Saddler’s ag ,
gressive infighting tactics, break-
ing the fighters freely, and slapping
Saddlers hands for holding. Lopes
weighed 133 1-4. Saddler 130 1-2.
Judge Merle Ziegler scored the
bout 58-51 for Lopes. Judge Fred
Bott a ro and Bassinelli scored it ST-
52 for Lopes.
The gate for the capacity crowd
of more than 4,500 was $16,271.

MILWAUKEE—UP—High Base-
ball Commissioner Ford Frick ran
the gamut of controversial ques-
tions with only a minimum of hedg-
ing and pictured rosy times fer the
national pastime Wednesday.
"Baseball is in a sound state.”
Frick told the United Press late
Tuesday. “As long as we have
America, we’re going to have base-
ball. We’re just back to normalcy
following the boom period after
the war.”
“Baseball today draws so much
more than prior to the war,” he
said. "Five million was a great
year before the war. Even in a
dad year noa we have seven and
one-half to eight million.”
Frick was speaking of the ma-
jors but he did not feel the minor
leagues were in any danger of ex-
tinction either. He said they, too,
were just returning to normalcy
after a post-war boom.
The commissioner said expansion
of the major leagues was inevit-
able but he did sot guess where
the expansion would begin.
“Eventually we will have base-
ball across the nation,” he said.
“The major leagues follow the eco-
nomic and business expansion of
the country. They cannot and will
not stand still.
“Milwaukee demonstrated what a
lot of people thought: Baseball is
not limited to east of the Missis-
sippi and west of the Potomac.”
Frick said there was no way of
knowing how television would ulti-
mately affect baseball but that it
was a “healthy process.” He said
"Pay television might be the an-

swer. “I don’t know ”
Frick said he did not feel a limi-
tation would ever have to be set
on the numbers of any groups,
such as Negroes, in the major
leagues.
"You have a lot of them coming
up now because it’s a great source
of untapped talent," he said. "It
will level off just as all the na-
tionality groups did."
Frick said he thought the majors
had reached their limit of night
baseball and he believed the pub-
lic was best served by trying to
play every game possible as fsr
as threatened postponements are
concerned.

Pirates Can't Even

PITTSBURGH —UP— The PI-

rious about not tying their club

After 11 in s row they put on
their lustiest scoring spree in 172

was by far the most humiliating

Boxing Managers
BALTIMORE —UP— When the
entry box for the 79th running of
the Preakness opens Thursday the
names of seven horses are expect-
ed to be entered for the second of
the triple crown classics.
Belair Stud’s Nssbua, who is ex-
pected to be the prohibitive favor-
ite to win the $100,000 Preakness,
and Clifford Mooers’ Traffic Judge
already are certain starters. The
trainers of both horses notified
track officials Tuesday.
Nashua, who never has raced in
Maryland, was loaded into a van
early Wednesday in New York for
the trip here. Already on the
grounds at the "Old Hilltop”
course at Montpelier’s Saratoga.
Traffic Judge, H. A. Dabson’s
Nance’s Lad, the Duntreath
Farm’s Fleet Pass, the Christiana
Stable’s Thinking Cap and the W.
L. Ranch’s Honey’s Alibi.
If seven face the gate, the race
will have a gross value of $111,100
and net the winner $65,000. Second
money will amount to $25,000, third
to $15,000 and fourth $7,500.
The race will be telecast and
broadcast nationally on CBS. ■

the English Derby. Britain’s most
popular horse race.
A throng of 250,000 was expected
at the public-owned Epsom Downs
to watch the gruelling mile-and-a-
half classic run on grass, with the
final furlong uphill. A field of 25
starters was in prospect, with Hugh
Lupus a possible late scratch be-
cause of a foot inury.
Two American-owned horses.
Byrn and Solarium, are expected
to start, but neither is given much
chance of following Never Say Die,
the American-owned winner of this
race last year at 33 to 1 odds.
Although the field was regarded
by racing experts as one of the
poorest in several years, bookmak-
ers reported fantastic betting. One
bookmaker said his vouchers pass-
ed the one million sterling ($2.8
million) mark.
The total value of this year’s
rsce was 22,020 sterling ($61,656).
The prize breakdown gives the win-
ner 18,702 sterling ($52,365'. second
place 2.212 sterling ($6,198), and
third place 1,106 sterling ($3,096).
The race will be worth much
more, however, to the winner of the
Irish sweepstakes based on the
race, who is expected to receive
50,000 sterling ($40,000),
