Howie Brodt will concentrate on

correct.
Such an attack proved successful

it is useless to try to beat Hursey
by confining on an attack to the
head.
Hursey, who is improving rapidly
as a ringman, probably will be fa-
vored when fight time arrives. Ring

NBA May Stage Own
|Graziano Hearing
After n. Y. Slight
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Feb. 5.-As Rocky
Graziano continued his fight for
fistic life before the State Athletic
Commission today, the National
Boxing Association Indicated it
might conduct its own inquiry in the
case because it felt the commission
was interested in united effort to
clean up boxing"
NBA President Abe Greene as
serted the New York Commission
should have invited ar NBA repre-
sentative to sit in on the Graziarlo
case in view of Greene's statement
last week that boxing's two most
powerful governing bodies should
join forces against gambling and
fixing.
1--WE opened the door to New
York Green declared, "and the
commission didn't see fit to join
us in common platform"
Greene's statement came as the
commission began the second day
of its hearing on Graziano's failure
to report a 100000 offer to throw
a fight with Ruben Shank last
month-one of two 100000 bids he
received to Ak bouts, neither bid ac-
cepted.
Green indicated he might sum-
mon Graziano and his mild little
manager, Irving Cohen, to tell him
the facts. Abe could give those facts
to the NBA's Executive Committee,
and the committee could decide the
NBA's action in its ar-flung terri
tory.
All indications are that II Ora
ziano is given severe penalty he
will appeal to the courts on the
grounds the commissions ruling
would deprive him of making a liv-
ing.
To fight circles, the prospect for
Rocky appeared to be a drastic
punishment by the New York COM

cense, despite his voluntary state
ment to the district attorney con-
corning the two fix attempts.
