Fight Still Is Likely
Despite n. Y. Ban
By Sid FEEDER
A.soeiaf.d Press Sports Writer


NEW YORK, Feb. 8 (R.-Although
Rocky Graziano may be barred for
life in New York, his rich middle
weight title bout with Tony zale
isn't necessarily of, because indica-
tions today were the National Box
ing Association will not 60 along
with his banishment and will sane
ton the match In another city -
maybe Chicago.
The commission revoked Grazi-
amos New York boxing license yes
terday for failure to report couple
of 100000 bribe offers in ID a fight
In which he scored a knockout and
(2) a fight which was never held.
All signs today indicated that the
NBA, which controls boxing vir-
tually everywhere else in the United
States outside of New York, would
give Rocky severe reprimand but
would not invoke such drastic pen
atty as lifetime Punishment. Conse-
quently 1t was forecast freely that
the Graziano-Zale bout probably
would get green light" this sum-
mer.
Chicago Promoters Bid.
Already two different Chicago pro-
moters, Ben Zenoff and James Will
liams, have bid for the bout which
had been expected to draw 100000
in Madison Square Garden March
81.
The NBA's capable president, Abe
Greene, is planning to hold his own
inquiry and ask Graziano to tell him
the story. Then he'll poll the MIA
executive committee members to de-
eide the course of action.
Rocky says he didn't report the
bids to take a dive" to BUNNY
Davis In 1945 and Ruben Shank
last December because he looked on
them as "a gag" made by "the kinda
guy" who would be "back five
minutes later to put the touch on
me for a loan"
The New York State Athletic
Commission barred Graziano for
this, although the last time a fix
case came up here, the fighter in
volved tried to tell it to the fistic
fathers and drew a 60-day suspen-
sion anyway. That was in 1945
when Freddie Fiducia, Newark, N. j.,
heavyweight and his manager, Willie
(The BearO Gilzenberg, wanted to
report a bribe offer and were told
commission chairman Eddie Eagan
"is too busy to see you" When the
case broke, each drew the two

Chino's Real Enemies

SHANGHAI, Feb. % tP.-John
Leighton Stuart, American Ambas-
sador, said today that "the real en-
emies of China are illiteracy, pow
erty, disease, the exploitation of
public Office for private gain and
narrow and ruthless partisan big
otry."
Addressing a Washington's Birth
day dinner in Shanghai, the Am
bassador said that in China's strug-
gle to obtain democratic government
and individual freedom there was
a summons to every Chinese patriot
to be willing, like Gen. Washington
to sacrifice all he possessed for the
larger good.
1.-The hope of the country lies in
the awakening Of a new form OF
national consciousness which
puts the welfare of the vast, in
articulate, suffering masses above
all personal ambitions and demands
united emphasis on constructive
reforms rather than any more di-
visive and destructive activities, u
Mr.. Stuart said.
He added that the American Ma
ton was in sympathy with Chinese
patriots in their efforts to estab-
lish a free, united, peaceful demo-
cratic China.
