themselves had urged Nisei working
in their respective offices to vote in

mocracy in action
When Nisei have been able to pre-
serve their United States citizenship

and then are deprived of that citi-
zenship because of the suggestion of
American occupation personnel or
because of the fear of losing food

BOSTON. June IA revamped
batting order got the Red Sox
back in the hitting groove today
and they beat the Detroit Tigers,
|11-9, in a slugging match to even
their competition at one victory
each since their million dollar
trade.
The Tigers banged out 16 hits
including homers by Walt Dropo
and Vic Wertz-while the Red Sox
got 13 safeties. Rookie Catcher
Sammy White belted a homer, two
doubles and single for Boston
and Vern Stephens homered over
the left field wall for his first 1852
home run in Fenway Park.
Wertz' ninth homer of the year
following a walk to Don Lenhardt
in the sixth pulled Detroit into q
90 deadlock. The Red Sox re-
gained the lead in their half on a
walk to George Kell, Billy Good
mans single and Dick Gernert's
inf1eld out.
Randy Gumpert, fourth of five
Boston pitchers, gained his first
victory, but it was the relief work
|of his successor, Ellis Kinder, that
saved the game.
Dropo's homer in the first in
ming was his ninth of the season
and his third in three days.

NEW YORK, June 7.-Unbeat-

ger from Brockton, Mass. and
Harry Matthews, clever Seattle
boxer, were matched today for a
10-round heavyweight elimination
bout at Yankee Stadium Monday
July %, by Jim Norris, president
of the International Boxing Club.
The survivor of this natural
already has been offered to Heavy
weight Champion Jersey Joe Wal
colt for September title defense.
Walcott's manager, Felix Bocchic-
chic, has said the champ would
fight "the logical contender" for
the champions share-45 per
cent-anytime, anywhere for the
IBC.

If Jack Hurley, Matthews man.
ager, has his way, there will be ne
free home TV. Hurleys favors 6
theater television deal like the
IBC has arranged for the joey
MaXim-Sugar Ray Robinson fight
June %.
Hurley estimated the bout woulo
draw "close to a million dollars.
Norris previously said the match
should do "at least $500.000."
Marciano, 27-year-old brawlel
who knocked out Joe Louis last
October, has won all Al pro starts
since he came out of the Army tt

crouching fighter who can KNOCK
them out with either hand. Marci-
ano has stopped SO opponents
Only five went the route.
In three starts since he ended
Louis career, Marciano knocked
out Lee Savold, Gino BuonvinC
and Bernie Reynolds. His perfor-
nance against the veteran SavolC
was unimpreSSive.
Matthews, fighting as a pre-
since 1887. popped into the head
lines after Hurley took him under
his wing 21a years ago. He hasn't
lost in his last 10 bouts. Way
back on August 9, 1943, he was
stopped by Eddie Booker. No

trouble arranging the return

of Matthews. But he impressed
as a solid combination punchel

Telepranhic Agency. Inc,)

From here it looks as if tennis
star Dick Savitt got raw deal in
the 1851 player ratings announc-
ed by the United States Lawn
Tennis Association. Savitt, con-
sidered by many fans and ex-
perts to be the top player in the
country, was rated third. The
Associations decision smacks of
the kind of anti-Semitism with
which tennis has been ridden for
years. The sport is known for its
discrimination through its snob-
bish country club set-up. For a
Jewish player to become a Sue
cessful tennis star is an achieve
ment. For one to be rated first
would be a memorable occasion.
Let's look at the record. In the
past year SaVltt captured the
Australian championship, then
took the Wimbledon title. In the
U. S. matches he was heavily
favored to cop the crown, but he
suffered an infected leg and was
beaten after a heroic try. He was
named to the American Davis
Cup team. It is true his playing
has slowed up a bit of late. But
Savitt's performance had already
