Judge Sore" At New York Police

New York, Feb. 24. (UP)-Judge Samuel LeiboWitZ, who wants to know how gamblers can operate under the very noses of police off, cials at Madison Square Garden" today summoned 18 plain-clothes detectives to the open hearing on the basketball scandal when testi- mony is resumed Tuesday.
 Leibowitz, Kings county Brook lym magistrate, was irked over the testimony of Police Commissioner Lewis J. Valentine, who admitted his men were up against virtual stone will in combating the activ- ities of vast gambling empire"
 The hearing, which has developed into a full dress investigation of all phases of gambling, produced a series of sensational developments yesterday. They included:
 l. Revelation by Valentine that three men, Frank Costello, Joe Adonis and Frank Erickson were the big shots' who control the activities of "damnable pests and parasites" in the gambling set-up.
 2. That the l8 plain-clothes men assigned to the Garden to thwart gamblers activities have made only six arrests for gambling on basket ball games this season, despite reva- tion that betting there is widespread.
 3. A statement by Valentine that amateur basketball "unquestionably would be better off if confined to the gymnasiums of the colleges

Robinson Beats 3rd Time

New York, Feb. 24-CUP)-If Jacob LaMotta were a sports trophy in- stead of Bronx middleweight, he would belong to Nelterweight Ray Robinson of Harlem today, for Sugar" Ray has won three legs" on him.
 Slender, brown-skinned Robinson registered his third victory over stocky, rugged LaMotta before g. sell-out crowd of l8,060 fans at Mad ison Square Garden last night. He out-jabbed and outstepped the plodding Bronxite to take the unan- imous 10-round decision.
 This victory brought Robinson's score to 3-1 in their profitable four bout series. LaMotta beat the Har-t lem dancing master once-at Detroit. Feb. 5, 1943.
 Last nights bout drew a Surpris- ingly large crowd and a gate of $93, 1855. Only about $70,OOO had been expected, because it was the second fight show of the week at the Gar den. where on Monday night Willie Pep beat Phil Terranova. But Rob- insul is a red-hot gate attraction as he proved at Chicago the week before when he drew more than $94,00O with George Costner.

 Pensacola, Fla, Feb. "A - (U.P0- Harold (Jug) McSpaden, tying course record as starter, was eight strokes under par and three under his closest opponent, Sammy Snead, today after a remarkable getaway in the $6,5O0 Pensacola Open Golf tournament.
 McSpaden, who learned his golfing licks in Kansas and now plays out of Sanford, Me, made five straight birdies yesterday in scoring GA, go- ing out in 30 and coming home with 34. But despite his superb play, many of the other 83 pros and anna teurS remained within striking dis tance.

Bon9ert Shot Put Stor, Also Sinqer

New York, Feb. 23 - (U.P.)-ThiS promises to be quite day for Bill Bangert, University of Missouri shot put star.
 He was scheduled to start it out with a Metropolitan Opera audi tion and follow it up by opening the annual National A. A. U. Track and Field Indoor Championship at Madison Square Garden tonight with the Star Spangled Banner.
 And. after changing into his work" clothes, he will go out in an attempt to win the 16-pound shot put over 16 rivals
 The six foot, five inch 230-pound athlete said he felt just a little nervous. Not about the shot put. but about the opera try-out and his Madison Square Garden singing de- but. He has been studying voice eight years and hopes his vibrant baritone will carry him on to opera and concert singing.
 While a little uncertain about his singing, he's pretty sure about his shot putting ability. He recently tossed the shot 52 feet, inches in a triangular meet and such a heave should put him up front in the na- tionalS.
 Although he began shot putting and discus throwing only year ago, he won the National Collegiate crown in the latter and placed sec ond in the shot He also plays foot ball and does some boxing because it helps big man get co-ordina- tion."
 But I'd rather sing than do any thing Bangert said. T know l can hold my own with that metal ball, but where I want to mahe an impression is with my vocal chords. " TOdaN may tell the story

BoseboII Must Wait On Congress

Chicago, Feb. 24.-(UP)-Presi- dent William Harridge of the American league said today it was futile to discuss baseball's man. power situation until congress has acted on the work-or-else legiSla- tion.
 Just returned from a conference with War Mobilization Director James F. Byrnes at Washington, Harridge said, "he (Byrnes) main tained it was impossible for intelli- gent discussion of the manpoWer situation until the work-or- -else legislation has bene finally deter mined fol congress and I quite agree with him.
 Ford Prick (National league preSident) and I both conferred with ByrneS and he invited us to return after action on the bill if we wished to discuss the matter with him." Harridge said, indicat- ing that there might be an- other baseball-government conter- ence soon.
 Harridge also revealed that the annual eXnlplClOn games at COOperS- town, N. r., baseball's shrine, had been called off in line with the Office of Defense T'ransportation's request for reduced sports travel E was to have been played on July 2 between the Detroit Tigers and Ae New York Giants.
 Between eight and g games may b dropped from the American leagues original schedule of 94 ex- hibition games, Harridge added. He said he was sending memo to each junior circuit club explaining the details of the Washington confab and recommending that they con- fine their exhibitions to home ard home series.
 Harridge said his understanding with Byrnes was that spring games would be permissible as long as they were scheduled on home end-home basis. Also exhibitions with service teams will be played only if the service provides the transportation, he said.

FOUR lose LIVES
IN GEORGIA fire

MARIETT A, Ga, F b. IA.
(ANP)-Four persons, one three
year old child, lost their lives when
a fire swept through the flimsily-
erected structures in the Negro
section, completely destroying
three homes and threatening an
entire sector of the city.
The dead, burned beyond recog-
milton, but tentatively Identified
by their positions in the charred
ruins, were listed by Fire Chief
Howard Schaffer as George Oliver,
Mrs. Mary Broughton and her
three-year-old son, Willie Fred
Broughton, and Miss Lucille Butts.
Apparently starting from Gig
aret smoked in bed by one of the
victims, the fire exploded full
tank of kerosene heater, enveloping
the dwelling in flames and igniting
the two houses on each side.
The firemen battled the blaze
throwing streams of water on
neighboring houses while the police
attempted to control a panic-strik-
en- gathering of spectators. The
death-pyro house h a d nearly
burned itself out when firemen ar
rived.
This was the worst fire, from
the standpoint of lives lost, in Ma
rietta's history, Chief Schaffer de-
clared.
