CharIes-SavoId Bout

BY the Assoeiafed Press

PITTSBURGH. July 10.-James
MintZ, the excitable co-manager
of Heavyweight Champion Ezzard
Charles. says he expects Charles
next opponent will be chosen with
in a week.
That statement caused plenty
of argument.
Buffalo Promoter Charley Pinto
insists Charles is going to defend
his title against Freddie Beshore
of Harrisburg, Pa, in Buffalo dur
ing the third week of August.
But Mintz denies anything is set
for a Beshore match. which al
ready has been postponed twice
when Charles came up with in
juries.
Informed that Pinto says "Mintz
is bound by contract and we ex-
pect him to live up to it," Charles
manager sputtered and declared
1--WE got some sort of contract
to fight Beshore but there's moth
ing in it that says Beshore has
to be our next opponent. The In
ternational Boxing Club in New
York has the first claim to Charles
services. AL WE'LL of the IBC will
have a lot to say who Charles
fights and when."
In New York, WE'LL said the IBC
has been trying to line up a fight
for Charles in August. He named
Lee Savold as the most logical
opponent. -.
Savold won the British and Eu-
rbpean versions of the world
heavyweight title from Bruce
Woodcock@ last month.
Mintz was jubilant when Saw
old's name was mentioned, say
ing:

A tired .Goldie Ahearn-fagged
out from an all-night telephone
vigil-planned to go to the Office
of the District Boxing Commis-
sion at 2 pm. today and hoped
that Willie Pep would do the
same.
Pep. the world featherweight
champion, who is scheduled to
fight Bobby Bell in a 10-round
nontitle bout tonight at Griffith
Stadium, still was missing early
this morning.
I'm going down to the commits
sion's Office just as usual" Goldie
said today. "Pep's got to be
there. If he amt. he'll be sus-
pended. And what's more, I'll sue
him"
Goldie reported an advance
sale of more than $4,000 for to-
nights fight. All tickets sold, he
pointed out, will be honored when
the fight comes off, whether it's
tonight, next week or next month.
HE can't fight nowhere else un-
til he makes good on this one, -
hGoldie said.
Pep slipped out on his manager
and trainer in Hartford, Conn,
sometime Friday night or Satur-
day morning. A telegram signed
by Pep informed his trainer, Bill
Gore, that he was getting married
Saturday and would see him in
about a week.
Just exactly when Pep slipped
out, whom he planned to marry
and where he went nobody seems
to know, not even Gore nor Lou

play, but the Negro star was con-
fident today that he would be
ready.
Stengers decision to start his
own highlander, Raschi, was made
yesterday when the scoreboard at
Yankee Stadium disclosed that two
of his All-Star pitchers, Art Hout-
teman of the Tigers and Bob Lem
on of the Indians, were in action.
The Yankee pilot repeatedly was
|miffed, but the use of Houtteman,
at least, was no surprise. Manager
Red Rolfe of Detroit had warned
Stengel that he would pitch his ace
Sunday, but he also said, "Art is
young and strong. If needed, I'm
confident he can start or relieve
Tuesday and do a good job"
Speculation on the scene, how
ever. was that Stengel might pass
up both Houtteman and Lemon
and follow Raschi with Ted Gray
of the Tigers or Bob Feller of the
Indians. winding up with Ray
Scarborough of the White Sox.
Scalpers Lack Tickets.
Despite the one-sidedness of the
All-Star competition, White Sox
officials said 100000 applications
for tickets had been received.
Scalpers. if they had tickets, were
asking $25 for a IS box seat. SIS
for the So grandstand section and
81 for bleacher space that sold
originally for 81.
Few tickets. according to Com
iskey Park sellers. fell into the
hands of scalpers. They say no
blocks of tickets were issued unless
the buyer was known and, in some
cases. Investigations were made
before tickets were sold. Specu-
lators, however, felt they would
be able to purchase from fans
unable to resist the soaring bids.
The game will be both broad
cast and televised and millions
will form the greatest audience
in the history of the event. A
total of 539 Mutual Broadcasting
System stations will handle the
play -by-play account, plus a. TV
network Of SO stations.
With. both managers-Stengcl
and Burt Shotton of the Nationals
having announced their start
ing pitchers, and all other starters
voted into the opening lineup by
the fans, only one question was
posed today. That was, who's
In center for the National
League"
! Must Shift OutfieIder.
s The vote of 3.l67.362 fans failed
to pick bona-fied centerfielder
for Shotton, who must start Enos
Slaughter, Hank Sauer and Ralph
Kiner. All are left or right
fiehers and when Shotton asked
and received Com missioner
Chandler's permission last week
to substitute Duke Snider of
Brooklyn for Sauer q hue and cry
arose.
Chandler changed his mind and
forbade the switch, so tomorrow
Shotton must decide which Of the
trio to play out of position for at
least three innings.
Although Shotton, like Stengel,
has not committed himself on
pitching selections beyond Rob-
erts, it is expected that he will
follow with Preacher Roe of his
club and Larry Jansen of the
Giants. Each side has two south
paws-Roe and Warren SPAIN OF
Boston for the Nationals and
Tommy Byrne and Gray for the
Americans. In the relief pitching
department the edge would seem
to lie with Shotton, who chose Jim
Konstanty of the Phillies to his
squad.
