Nova Stopped BvTomiIn1
By JACK FROST

 Boston. June 26-(UP)-Tami Mauriello, rotund ring ruffian from New York. was hailed today as one of the outstanding civilian heavyweights developed during the war after scoring one round knockout over the Giant Lou Nova of Van NUuys, Cal,
 Outweighed six pounds and near ly a head shorter than the veteran developer of the "cosmic" punch, Mauriello astounded 7,957 mosquito harried fans at Fenway Park last night by depositing Nova in PAT of the opening round of their sched- uled 10-round bout.
 Entering the ring a Al favorite, Mauriello, weighing 197. attacked from the opening bell. He dropped his 2O3-pound Yogi exponent for an eight count with a smashing left hook to the head after a minute of fighting-a blow that ripped open one of Nova's old wounds over his left eye.
 Sinatra's Man
 Nova shambled backward and covered up in corner, his gloves over his face as the protege of Frank (The Voice) Sinatra beat a furious fusillade on the Californian's ribs.
 Once or twice Nova paved inef- fectually in an effort to get away from the man who stopped him in six rounds in December 1942. They swung across the ring near a neu- tral corner and Nova dropped his hands momentarily. Mauriello hooked to the head with left, then lashed out with right cross that land flush on Nova's unprotected chin and the fight was over.
 There were many who were dis appointed by Nova's exhibition There were some who believed Nova was not too severely hurt when he went down. But most agreed that Mauriello looked like a postwar threat to ole Louis heavyweight crown.
 Nothing for Charity
 It was a night of disappoint- ments for those persons interested in the promotion of the show. A charitable venture approved by Archbishop Richard J. Gushing for refurnishing of north end school, his group was receive all profits. However, the bouts drew gross gate of only $29,772 for a net of S2l, ,786. The promoting Goodwin A. c. reportedly went some S3,000 in to the red, leaving nothing for charity.
 Maya Esparza, l4O, of Mexico City proved to fast and accurate for Ralph (The Look) Zannelli, 146, of Providence, R. l., who was decisioned in 10-round co-feature.
 EsparZa slowed up midway in the bout but coupled an arly lead with late flash to bewilder his slower and more bullish opponent.
 In other bouts, Oscar St. Pierre, l40. New Bedford stopped Tommy Murphy, 147, Montreal CD Willie ShankS, 160, Montreal technically knocked out Jackie Caparell, l62, Boston (6).

St. Paul Vs. Drew At Hartford

Hartford, June 26.-Middleweight St. Paul of Springfield and Lige Drew of Los Angeles tangle in star bout of ten heats at the Audi toriums outdoor Arena tonight that should attract a bumper crop of western Massachusetts citizens who and Springfield rings. The show will go on rain or shine, moving indoors if necessary.
 Having scored IT victories in 21 fights, St. Paul will nevertheless be the short-ender in this one For Drew is the more experienced of the two. Still, both belt hard St. Paul being one of those daring souls of the ring who is willing to take a hard knock here and there to get in his counter shots.
 Two shoWings here revealed Drew clever fighter and capable boxer. He was hardly extended in defeat- ing Henry Jordan and Willis Scott at the Auditorium. Twice the vic tor over such worthies as Chester Slider, who in turn defeated Henry Armstrong, and Shiek Rangel while still out on the west coast, Drew also knocked out a Johnny Brown who defeated Jerry Maloni here, and lists Cecil Hudson, Solomon Stewart and Broadway Johnny Jones among his victims.
 Last time out St. Paul defeated Willie Shanks in Springfield's open- outdoor show two weeks ago after he had upset a favored Red" Doty here. He also won over Johnny Brown here after losing to Rudy Richardson.

Lorrivees Lose 2

Losing Softball or baseball game by one run in the last inning is bad enough in any league; but when 6ouble-header is lost by the same team in that fashion; it's almost unbearable: according to members of Larrivees team of the Sts. Peter and Paul Softball league. In the first game, Fitzmaurice and friends scored two runs in the final inning for a 3-2 decision. Then the Lar rivees took on Al Napoli's Neapoli- tans and thre run, seventh inning taly resulted in a 4-3 decision for Napoli's hired hands
 J. Lindell Wrenn's homer with a mate on base in the sixth inning of the nightcap, helped the losers take the lead, but the "unlucky seventh brought doom to the Larivee array, which intends to play n more than one game per evening hereafter. Fitzmaurice team took over the league lead, as the result of the double defeat of the Larrivees. Mig ;eaderh

MARY ABBOTT 5-1 WINNERS
 OF CITY TITLE

One boy IA year old Joe Aufiero, who bears quite a facial resem- blance to the New York Yankee Cliper, Joe DiMaggio, won the city schoolboy baseball championship for Mary Abbott school yesterday at Hamilton Park. Two-hit pitching and triple which he hit to score one run in the third inning; plus 10 Strikeouts; and baseball 'savvy" that was well-high remarkable for a kid of his years, allowed Mary Abbott convicing 5-1 victory over the Parochial champs, whose pitch ing and batting star, Dick Januska was just another player, as far as young Aufiero was concerned.
 Januska failed to hit in three times up; while his rivals three bagger to far left field was bat ting feature of the seven inning game; which the eventual winners got a run in the first inning and three more in the third to put it on ice" St. Joseph's lone tally came in the fifth when a well-hit ball by Grimes was judged badly by Can- cellaro; going for a triple, after which the hitter scored when Pet raitis singled through the infield.
 Poor Support
 Mary Abbott played far better baseball than St. Joes from start to finish; as Januska's pitching efforts were weakened by poor support. MA got but five hits, which, with errors by their rivals was more than enough to win. Score:

On Monday, June Is, at Muni- cipal Stadium an Is year old kid, Benny Singleton, made his bid for fame and fortune in facing John nie Greco, hard hitting Canadian welterweight. It is said that Sin gleton was overr . tened and thrown to the wolves" for big pay night" by ais managers, Chuck Williams of Waterbury and Sam Silverman of Boston. Facts show that Singleton's boxing ability was underrated while the prowess of Johnnie Greco was magnified. In the course of the fight Greco did not knock Benny out in the manner that fans ex- pected. As the fight wore on Sin gleton steadily piled up points going into the 9th round.
 We, the managers of Benny Singleton, issued a statement at the time that we signed for the Greco Singleton match that Sin gleton would outbox Greco and that Greco would not be able to lay his famous punch upon Sin gleton; all of this we insisted from the very beginning. Now that the fight is over and simply be- cause he took the play away from Johnnie Greco, some writers and fans now say that Greco was loaf ing
 To those who know boxing, in Greco's all out effort to KO Sin gleton in the 9th and 10th rounds he left himself wide open and subject to a KO blow If he had gone all out in the first few rounds, Singleton would have, no doubt, scored the upset of the year by knocking him out.
 If those writers and those fans from the beginning felt that Sin gleton was being led to slaughter, why didn't Iaey then speak up and try to stop the match from taking place? Why do they in- sist after the bout is over that Singleton was thrown to the wolves, in view of Singleton's ex- cellent showing receiving but one mark of battle-a slight cut over the right eye.
 Boxing is ''big business" where a poor boy may become rich in two or three fights if properly matched and properly maneuver- ed. It is also a businses in which without good management boy may become ruined for life and not even earn enough to pay his doctors bill. Singleton has en- loved much succes< in his profes- sional campaign under managers, Silverman and Williams, and is headed for Madison Square Gar den, the mecca of all fighters.
 To the fans of Waterbury, we say. Singleton was not thrown to the wolves. He was not sac rificed for a "big pay night. He was given chance to enter the big money ranks of professional boxing. He took the chance, made good, as result you shall hear from him in Madison Square Gar den in the very near future.
