of Britain's Randy Turpin. They
wanted to make sure Randy

Out front Of Turpin's cottage was
a sign: Randy Turrin's Training
Quarters. The other day a British
writer, with a crayon made it read
"Non-Training" quarters. But that
had been erased.
Last time Turpin was in Ameri-
ca for his second fight with Sugar
Ray Robinson-the time he lost
the middleweight title to the man
he had upset in London-he was
training demon. He thought
nothing of buzzing through 15-round
workouts. American trainers raised
their hands in horror. Nobody ever
trains more than five or six
rounds over here.
This was a new Turpin, who
boxed Monday, rested Tuesday and
Wednesday, boxed Thursday and
then wasn't sure when he would
work again. In three weeks he
worked only 81 rounds. Counting
the British workouts he had boxed
a total of only So rounds.
Why this about face? What had
happened? Turpin tried to give the
answer as he spoke to the writers
on the lawn in front of his cottage.

What about these stories that

of packing his bag and going

it's nobody's fault but mine. They

High Court Has
Baseball Suit

WASHINGTON R - A prime
question before the Supreme Court
today is: Has baseball in the past
30 years become involved in inter-
state commerce within the mean
ing of the antitrust laws?
If the court says no, organized
baseball will go on generally max
ing its own rules as it has since the
days of Abner Doubleday.
If the court says yes, baseball is
in interstate commerce, three
cases appealed to it will be or
dered to trial in federal district
courts.
The supreme court took the mat
ter under advisement yesterday
after two days of hearings. A deci-
sion is not likely before spring.
