On Thursday afternoon Senator Joe Lawlor, chairman of the State Athletic Commission will listen to sworn tes
 ony concerning $100 bribe alleged to have been offered New Havens Cocoa Kid last week if he would throw ms fight with Hartfords Jimmy Leto which took place on fr
 day night and went Leto by point margin scored by Referee Jim Calvin of Waterbury It happens that Ehe gent the bottom of the pile of allegations IS one ou Wiscusi who breezed into Hartford New Haven and water bury few back with load of negro baters, some Df whom were pretty good In due time Vlscusl started wearing white collars and became matchmaker manager second and about everything else in the boxing book NOW he turns up as fixer" accused of trying to win fight with money so that his fighter and himself become
 more prosperous result The allegations that Vs cusi in behalf of Jimmy Leo went to Cocoa Kids home last Wednesday and offered him $00 throw his bout with Friday night which the boy refused to do AS it happened Cocoa tried to win and did, in the opinion ot many though the official decision went against him by one point Now Viscusi defends himself with lot of balder dash about going to Cocoa home concerning lOO weight forfeit maintains there something with the ottl cia weghngn scales and Leto will fight Cocoa again plus lot of rpe obviously intended to becloud the issue which is based the question: Did Vscusi offer Cocoa Kid $100 to throw the fight? Cocoa and his wife have signed affadavits that he did.
 If so there's much to be said, for managers of fighters do not, rue to the homes ot OPPO- NENTS to argue about WEIGHTS.
 It looks as if Viscus is caught with the goods If
 it's up Lawor to rid him of Connecticut boxing and bar him for life in this state of any connection with club or boxer If that action warranted by the testimony boxing will be better for it.
 And another thing which to have been calculated to draw attention away from the point of Thursdays inquiry which is based the brbe business. Vscus is quoted as weighed by Inspector Billy Higgins had been fixed Hig gns's reputation eve guy will withstand andy such talk that especially the hearing when the two will come Apparently Vscu wants everyone to be- to fix the scales And come to think of it, he's in quite fi;! himself.

A tee shot on the last hole of the final round of the Sacramento open won honors in that tourna- ment for Harold (Jug) McSpaden, 26-year- pro from Kansas City, Kan. It brought him his second victory in the recent winter tour of the golf pros.
 The eighteenth hole of the municipal course at Sacramento is a short par three, 155 yards long. With No. 5 iron, McSpaden put his tee shot six feet from the cup, and rammed the putt down for a birdie two, giving him a score of Fl on the last IS, for a grand to- tai of 284.
 This shot enabled McSpaden to nose out the closing Walter Hagen, who was putting on one of his characteristic par-breaking spurts. and setting a new course record of 67, for a total of 2S5. one stroke behind the Kansas City pro.
 Commenting on his selection of the No. iron in making his tee shot, McSpaden says:
 1T find this club the easiest in the bag to play.
 "Pivoting is the important part in iron play. the more pivot the more distance one is able to get out of the club. It Is the direct reason for Jones' length off the tee. as well as with the irons. pivot until by left heel is lifted off the ground"

BENJAMIN BREAKS OUT WITH FISTTC
 RASH ON COAST
Movie Colony Upset at
 Antics of Former Pug; Fights in Style
BY GEORGE H. BEALI1 (Unifed Press StAR COrrespOndcntl ]

Hollywood, April 30 -GU.P.) - There was~a time when the screen colony could gossip about it's ''one punch" fights 4enly at long inter- vals. but Joe Benjamin has started a one-man campaign to correct such an intolerable condition.
 Twice in as. many weeks Benja- min. once a, lightweight prlZefight- CT, once the friend of Jack Demp- sey and once the husband of the beauteous Marian Nixon, has per- sonally moved to make them reg ularly featured events.
 q Perry Pasted
 Bcnjamin's first main even was in night club. His apparently un- willing opponent was Fred Perry, the worlds tennis champion. Ben- jnmin said he was forced to strike down Perry because he insisted on inserting himself. at table where Benjamin was entertaining Renee Torres and Mona Rico. of the films. Benjamin claimed the fray was a vicious one and said he earned the decision. Perry said it was "all sis- sy stuff"
 Next, Benjamin took on Grant Withers, once the husband of Loretta Young. This encounter took place before Withers' apart ment. Withers lost the decision and to-day he was in retirement at Palm Springs, attempting to get his face in shape for the camera again.
 TO show that Benjamin's cam paign was taking hold, a fight broke out at a party at the home of the Countess Dorothy Di Frasso almost at the moment Benjamin was uppcr-cutting Withers.
 Extra Special
 The countess declared the par ticipants were boxing instructors and the affair was staged. sort of added attraction, so to speak. It was pretty effective acting because there were q lot of sadly ruffled boiled shirts showing when guests assembled to hear the musical pro- gram that was the main event.
 One of the first of Hollywood's s "one-punch" battles was the en- counter of John Barrymore and Myron Selznick on the lawn Of the Ambassador hotel. Each claimed the victory. Each collected one black eye.
 Jack Gilbert and Jim Pulley once slashed at local night club Neither got hurt and subsequent ly they kissed and made up. Fully shortly thereafter took one swing at Murphy McHenry, the writer. Fully missed. McHenry, in turn. missed.
 Al Jolson not so long ago claim cd victory over Walter Winchell. Jolson took his swing because he didn't like things said about him in Winchell scenario.
