George Sheppard, the New Yorker who bought the contract of Whist ling Willie Roache of Wilmington, Delaware for $100 and parlayed into $25, 5,0O0 within two years was in town last night with his little bundle of dynamite" as he calls the strong, squat colored boy with the whist ling" left-hook. George and I got to talking about the recently an- nuonced suspension of Ray Arcel, trainer of Victor Jade, the party of the second part when Roache en- ters the ring tonight. Arcel was air. ed by the State Athletic Commis- sioner Frank Coskey for ignoring a summons to appear before him for "sassing" Referee Kid Kaplan, when one of Arcel's boxers dropped the duke" week or so ago in Hartford. Ordinarily, Arcel is a cool-headed individual and rarlely gives referees any trouble, even when he is sure his boy got all the worst of the de- cision.
 But, here's the bellylaugh, accord ing to Shepard: T don't think Ray knows he is suspended in Connecti- cut or was supposed to come to Hartford for a hearing; because they sent the notice to Arcel to MY house. Ray not only doesn't live there any more, but he NEVER lived there" the manager concluded.

P. Manager George Sheppard, mentioned above, hired Artie Rose of New York to train Willie Roache for his NBA title-bout with Sal Bartolo of Boston Novem- Der IT, because Rose is former trainer O. Bartolo, and could teach Willie how to beat the champ. Now, that was nice move, but the bout was called off last night, causing Sheppard to burn the wires for Abe Greene, president of NBA, a Pater- son, N. J., newspaperman, the idea being to have doctor examine aBr- tolo'S beeZer as soon as possible to see if it is seriously injured" as claimed. Sheppard claims and out an6 out "runout'' IRA basket ball squad managers meet next Monday night with supervisor Ed McGrath, to discuss the eligibility rules and referees for the coming season.
