zIVIC DEFEATS
 ARNOLD4-1PRE-
 FIGHT FAVORITE
By JACK CUDDY Hinited PreSG Staff Cnrre@nor

NOHlbCu NEcSS OtdH OOTTCSIBOHUcutl
 New York, Jan. 6-(UP)-Cpl. Fritizie Zivic, pugilism's old profess sor, drew upon his ring lore last night at Madison Square Garden to stump schoolboy Billy Arnold-a quiz kid of Queensberry wl'o didn't have the answers.
 Zivic, 3l. and ready to retire, up- set the highly-touted l8-year- old Philadelphia Negro by winning the eight-round decision before 16,923 fans. Pittsburgh Fritzie, former welterweight champion, had gone into the ring a Al underdoE.
 The experts figured that button nosed Fritzie, because of his age. would have no chance against the, hammering high school boy who had knocked out 29 of 32 previous opponents and never been beaten. But Fritzie coupled his waning physical prowess with masterly ringeraft to achieve the first major sports upset of 1945.
 Zivic, veteran of IA years in the squared circle and participant in 190 professional bouts, not only cvadded or shook off Arnold'S hith- erto paralyzing hooks in the early rounds; but he gave the schoolboy a lesson in boxing, particularly at close quarters. The corporal'S dem onstration of uppercutting, short- hooking. and bag of tricks brawling evokted waves of thunderous ap- plause. Surprisingly enough, the ancient mauler landed the hardest blows of the bout in which there were no knockdowns.
 It was fortunate for F'ritHe that he had his ring lore to draw upon, because Arnold campaigned con- stantly for knockout. The young Negro forced the fighting in most of the rounds; although, at times. Aivlc's evasiveness and sharp coun- ter-puncheS made Billy's efforts seem amateurish.
 Because of Arnolds persistent at tack. it was close fight in which the three ring officials failed to vote unanimously Two gave the fight to Zivic, and one called it a draw. The United Press also called .t even, giving each four rounds. The bout was limited to eight rounds because Arnold is under the 2O-year limit required in New York state for a 10-rounder.
 Zlvlc, who out-Weighed his op- ponent l53 pounds to IA, said after the bout, I'm not so sure about retiring now. I may continue fight ing. Promoter Mike Jacobs is try ing to arrange a re-match in Feb ruary, hoping for an even larger gate than last nights $57,576.

The Walnuts dropped out of first place for the first time this season when they were topped three times by the Cedars. The Cedars turned in 1928 total which was just seven pins short of the seasons high.

Lulu Miele and Fuss Sullivan did some good work for the Bamboos. The Naples took 3 from the Oaks by some consistent bowling. Carol Schiavone was the Oaks new lead-of bowler and shows good promise although she tired in her last game. What happened to Tony Ciarlone in his last game? Probably wanted his wife to beat him in one game to end the year right We know why Gladys is slip ping in her average. She spends so much time checking Tony Muras- ka's bowling that she can't con- centrate on her own. An well-soon it will be all in the family. Peg Carey gave up after one game and sat the rest out. Take care of that cold, Peggy. The Bamboos will need you next year.

New York, Jan. 6-(UP) Pres ident Ed Barrow of the New York Yankees took issue today with Branch Hickey, head of the Brook yn Dodgers, stating that he saw no need for national sports coordi- nator and that establishment of such post would lead to pwolitica1 involvement.
 Barrow said he also opposed the appointment of any "figurehead type of baseball commissioner.
 Hickey, now at Chicago attend ing special major league meeting also had urged the early appoint ment of a successor to the late Judge K M. Landt, to prevent public confidence in baseball from wavering.
 Barrow sida that Ec would lead a bloc of baseball men in opposition to the appointment of weak man, with no real authority" if the com mittee of which Hickey is mem Der, recommends a successor to Landis.
