Woodcock Declares
He MayCaI| Off Bout,
Retire From Boxinq

DONCASTER, England, Aug. g.
Bruce Woodcock tossed a
wrench into his fight with Lee
Savold today by announcing he
may retire from boxing.
But in London. Jack SolomonS,
the promoter who has Woodcock
billed to fight Savold for the Brit
ish version of the world heavy
weight championship. said the
contest will take place as soon
as Bruce is fit"
Solomons has sold all the 10000
seats at London's White City Sta
dunn for the bout originally
scheduled for September 6.
Woodcock suffered a slight con-
cussion and severe bruise to his
left shoulder in a truck accident
last Thursday. He was discharged
from hospital today. A new date
for the fight was to have beer
set today.
The British champion told re.
porters he was serious about
retiring just before he was driver
to his home in Doncaster.
At Manchester, Woodcock'
manager, Tom Hurst, said Il know
that Bruce is feeling fed up.

serious" he added.
Il have been waiting to hear
this for a long time" said Mrs.
Woodcock, who stood near by. If
he wants to give up boxing I am
quite happy about it. I am pretty
certain that the fight with Savold

as did Indian Jack Jacobs a cou-

HOWE Livingston and Rookie
Bob Hainlen boot the long, spiral

Whelchel rates them trifle too

reason the Redskins hope to hold

although he's too far away from
the big show to make the grade
this year. Livingston may get a
chance to kick in game. but 1t
is extremely doubtful.

.Hitt|e's Shutout Win
Makes $4,000 Tag

The $4,000 that Clark Grit

turn for little package appeared
a more intelligent investment to-
day in the wake of stubby Lloyd
Hittle's shutout of the Chicago
White Sox to fracture the third
Washington losing streak of large
proportions.
Hittle demonstrated why the
asking price was high when the
Mats plucked him from Oakland
of the Pacific Coast League. For
the first time since he joined the
club two months ago the red

form that prompted Scout Spencer
Abbott to recommend his pur-
chase when yesterday he limited
Chicago to eight hits.

International League in success

three in edging the White Sox.

on base he sparkled.
Hittle Keen in Pinch.
With none out in the fourth
inning, Luke Appling clipped Hittle
for a double and Cass Michaels
singled him to third, then took
second when Roberto Ortiz threw
to the plate. In that jam, Hittle
retired the next three batters with
out permitting them to loft q
ball beyond the infield.
The Mats were presented their
lone run in the fifth when Hittle
and Eddie Yost singled successive
ly with two out. Yost's single sent
Hittle to third and when Left
fielder Steve Souchock threw wild
past second trying to hold Yost
on first, Hittle romped across with
the only run of the game.
