speech to the Rotary club here
Tuesday. D. c. Lundy was pro-

The third dimension men of our

the men who have made lasting
contributions to life and posteri-
ty, as every man who subscribes
to public service should seek to
do, the speaker said. He empha-
sized the Importance of every

1t isn't going to be any grab-and-
hold fight for 10 rounds. though,

The retired World War II general,
former commander TO the Sd Serv-

I'VE have every reason to believe
Hayes will accept" Fried said
Hayes, one time athletic director
at West Point, would supervise SIS
of an estimated 80 midget tracks in
the Nation. Under the leagues
jurisdiction he would have dictato-
rial control of racing and sit as a
court of last resort to rule on

Rocky Graziano Is a tough guy all
right, but he doesn't figure to beat
Sonny Horne next Monday night at
Uline Arena. So says Sonny Horne
himself, who naturally is most con-
cerned about the outcome.
Horne, here for a week of windup
training at Liberty A. c., is not re-
luctant about explaining how Horne
will beat Graziano. He can discuss
Graziano with some authority, hav-
ing lasted 10 rounds with the mid
dleweight champ two years ago.
That, incidentally, was the last time
a Graziano fight went the distance.
Rocky was stopped once himself,
by Tony Zale Otherwise, he stopped
everybody else, including Zale, for
the title last July.
Horne admits that Graziano packs
plenty of punch. But he's got to
hit you before he hurts you, and
intend to see that he doesn't hit
me-" said Sonny. "At least not
hard" he added. Rocky is simply
a slugger. I think I'm a much better
boxer, and I think he'll be an easy
mark for lot of punches. I can
hit him with a left jab and a
straight right to the jaw" -

CINCINNATI, Mar. 3o.-Dr. Wal
ter B. Phillips, of1icial physician for
the Cincinnati Boxing Commission,
today expected to solve the riddle OF
Ezzard Charles ailing back for the
Illinois Athletic Commission.
The lac ordered Charles to ap-
pear for physical examination to
determine If his claim for a five-day
postponement of bout with Elmer
(Violent) Ray is justified.
The Cincinnati Negro battler said
he needs five-day delay because a
cold in his back has delayed heavy
training.
The fight, q benefit affair for the
family of Sam Baroudi, Akron,
Ohio, who died after a February 20
battle with Charles, originally was
set for April 7. Promoters changed
the date to April II. The Illinois

7 date will stand If Charles claim
for an extension is not justified.

Jimmy has q moro impressive
Knockout record than does Herbie,
having won nine bouts last year in
short order. His only knockout loss
was to Bobby Suma here in Feb
ruary of 1947.
Herbie seems to have abandoned
plans to return to the feather
weights, because he definitely was a
lightweight at 1877 pounds last night
That's the most he ever has weighed.
The weight was an advantage, al
though 1t slowed him, against the
lanky Lewis. Lewis had q heftf
edge on Herbie in height and reach,
but Jones managed to duck in ard
under often enough during tJle
eight rounds to earn the decision.
There were no knockdowns in the
fight witnessed by 1923 customers,
who paid gross gate Of $2,351.18
for q net of $1,740.48.

Gibson, $50, of Los Angeles clowned

Scocca gallently insisted on chasing
the field and giving the moaning
and now-not-so-royally flushed fans
a run for their money.
Ample Reward, favorite in the
fourth canter, was left at the post,
but made up most of the ground to
get third prize. That didn't make
the form players happy. Evidently
the crowd sensed what was coming
when the announcer gave out the
news about the starting gates sud-
den demise. And the walkup, push
up, holdback sidelong starts may
have affected the betting At least
something helped upset the dope
because couple of juicy $50 win
ners gave their classier brethren the
horse laugh.
1t was Repand, lowly field horse,
coupled with Pompeian, who gave
chalk players apoplexy in the fea-
tured $4,000 Rowe Memorial Handi-
cap. But Sylvester w. Labrot, jr.'s,
colt doesn't deserve all the credit.
Jockey George Pappas, sitting pretty
one Joe Tucci's Incline, a fat Al.
went to sleep some so yards from
the wire, permitting Repand to
overtake him.
Incline, off about seventh in the
unwieldly 13-hourse field, outran
both Eagle Eye, the favorite, and
Scholarship, another we'll supported
hoofer. and came up on the inside
to take the lead in the stretch. He
looked as sound as a United States
Treasury check at that point. but
Pappas, evidently believing he had
raced the legs out from Under every
thing else, took o snooze and the
Labrot bread-winner roared past
him. The wen-liked Flag Drill was
driving third.
Repand paid $52.20 to win, 1850
and $3.50, and any track veteran
will bet you all the gold in an Elk's
tooth he'll never beat Incline again.
Flag Drill paid $640.
Pappas Makes Amends.
Pappas atoned for that slip,
however, by hustling Badge from
behind in the 11/l6-miles seventh
race to put over a 5000 mutual.
He beat another long shot, c. H.
Lamparter's Electron, who paid
$500 and $3.50.

the rail as the day unfolded.
They couldn't quite figure out why
