Flaherty said Kyne agreed to
give Olson and Young IS per
cent each plus fiat $4,000 for
radio and television, with Cali
fornia blacked out. Kyne pre-
dicted better than a 100000

The IBC managing director,
Harry Markson, said Young
signed for 30 per cent Of the
Garden gate, plus 80 per cent of
radio-televiSion rights - about
$4,000 on an expected $4,000.
He offered Olson the same deal.
Flaherty called the IBC offer
inferior" and added:
If Young is unwilling to come
here for more money. I'll leave
it to the National Boxing Asso-
citation to pick q neutral site.
We're not going to New York for
less than we can get here"
He said he had asked NBA
President George Barton to in

controlled by the IBC." Flaherty
reported offers from both Detroit

RALEIGH. N. c., April 28.-
The Southern Conference is
expected to defeat proposals at
it's May 8 meeting in Greensboro.
N. c., to lift the ban on post-sea- :
son bowl games and abolish all

asked that conference teams be
permitted to compete in those
extra events approved by the
National Collegiate Athletic As

games are NCAA-approved.
Virginia Tech has proposed an
amendment to abolish freshman
teams in all sports. Several
smaller schools are expected to
support this proposal. but it is
conceded little chance of being
approved.

proximately u schools. is re-
quired to adopt the two pro-
posals.

NEW YORK. April 28.-Lulu
Perez. a bright 20-year-old pros
pect from Brooklyn. is ready to
claim a place among feather
weight boxing leaders. He
stepped out against classy COM
petition for the first time last
night and proved he has what
it takes when he Surged from
behind to hammer out a unani-
nous 10-round decision over
Ccrky Gonzales.
Perez decked the sixth-rank-
ing featherweight from Denver
with snappy rights for a count
Of nine in the seventh round and
for eight in the final round Of
the Eastern Parkway bout, tele-
vised in some areas.
The unranked Lulu. one of the
brightest prospects in boxing.
hasn't been beaten in 18 months.
He scored his 10th straight vic
tory and his 29th in 80 pro
fights. The 24-year-old Con-
zales hadn't lost in nearly a year
and the defeat snapped his un-
beaten string at six. His record
now is 59-9-1.
Hes sharp and fast and a
real conner" said the loser. who
has met most of the leading
featherweightS.
Nervous and unSure how he
would do in his first 10-round
bout. Perez was puzzled by Con
zales' aggressive style through
the first half of the fight. He
was nailed repeatedly by sweep
ing left hooks and overland
rights. But in the sixth Lulu

SAN FRANCISCO, April 28.-
The American middleweight title
picture still is muddled, although
managers of the two top boxers
Carl (Bo5o) Olson and Paddy
Young - announced they had
S gr I for a bout. The gimm-ck
is; I.,cy s.:gIed for different
citi-s and on different dates.
The International Boxing Club
said in New York that Harry
Stikevers had signed Young to
fight Olson June 19 in Madison
Square Garden.
But Sid Flaherty said here he
had signed for Olson to meet
Young at the San Francisco Cow
Palace June 6 with William p.
Kyne promoting.
Flaherty's unwillingness to
sign for New York bout stems
from two main objections-the
IBC and money.
Angered by an edict from New
York State Boxing Commissioner
Robert Christenberry to sign Oh
son for a Young fight under IBC
auspices or forfeit title claims.
Flaherty said:
II couldn't SEE how Christen-
berry could act as matchmaker
for the IBC and force me to
fight for them exclusively and
for less money than I might
make elsewhere"

Hollywood Park Bans
10 Leading Trainers
In Row Over Purses
By the Assoeiafed Prass

INGLEWOOD, Calf, April %.
Ten Of the Vests leading
trainers of thoroughbreds have
been asked not to bring any
more horses to Hollywood Park
for the summer meeting opening
May IL.
The track yesterday issued a
ban against Charles Leavitt,
vice president of the Horsemen's
Benevolent and Protective As
sociation and various other
trainers who say they will not
race at Hollywood Park unless
40 per cent of the tracks share
of the pari-mutual take is dis
tributed to owners.
The others are Willie Molter,
R. H. Mcdaniel: Allen Drum
heller, George Ring, Rex Ellis
worth, Bob Roberts. Ralph West,
Vance Longden and Ross Brin-
son. --,--
James D. Stewart, Hollywood
general manager, said the notice
was issued yesterday on advice
of legal counsel. Stewart said
Eeavitt had publicly repudiated
an agreement he made to race
the horses he brought to the
track.
The action. Stewart said. was
not directed against Leavitt be-
cause of his leadership of the
HBPA, but because Hollywood
Park needs all it's stable area for
horses that will race at the meet
ing.
Stewart said the trainers
banned have made statements
that they will not race at Holly
wood Park unless their demand
for 40 per cent of the parimutual
take is met.
The California Horse Racing
Board recently wrote a new
formula for distribution of purses.
but the Hollywood Park meeting
this summer was exempted be-
cause the board previously had
issued the track a racing permit
that covered purse distribution.
In Columbus, Ohio. today Rob-
ert o. Read. president of the
HBPA denounced the Hollywood
ban as intimidation" He called
on horse owners all over the
country TO back up Leavitt.

Bossler StiIHosHis Golf Game,
Rolling Road Victory Proves
By MerreII WhittIesey

Charley Bassler usually makes
a showing somewhere on the
winter golf tour, but nobody had
heard much from the handsome
30-year-old Rolling Road Club
pro since he won the District
Open late last summer at Indian
Spring.
Charley not only passed up
the circuit. but somebody passed
along the story that he had been
playing weekly rounds with two
Baltimore pros and was on the
short end Of the count.
Yesterday the Middle Atlantic
pros visited Bassler's home course
for the first amateur-pro tourna-
ment of the season and found
there was nothing wrong with
Charley's health-or his golf
game.
On a cold, windy day that
made the usually easy Rolling
Road course play tough, BaSsler
shot a four-under-par 66. The
next best score was Andy Glib
sons 70. and "a was the third
best pro score. Ed Finnessy
topped the amateurs with a II.
Tour PurpOsely Stunned.
After his round Bassler said
he had passed up the winter
circuit on purpose. He made one
quick trip to Florida for the Or
lando mixed two-ball tourna-
ment. After he and Mary Ann
Downey lost to Sam Snead and
| Betty MacKinnon in the second
round they won the consolation
Il had a new golf shop to fix
up" BaSsler said, "and besides
the winter circuit has lost it's
appeal for me. The fields are
tougher than they are for the
summer tournaments, the purses
cheaper, and you play on some
horrible golf courses. Asked
about losing some weekly
matches to Baltimore pros.
Charley said. "Ask 'em how they
stand now"
Bassler said he would play
more big-time tournament golf
this summer because of his alb
sence from the winter circuit.
He's going to White Sulphur
Springs. w. Va, for the Green
brler Open, May ITO. Last year
he was second in the am-pro
phase of this tournament and
netted a fat check.
Charley plans to play in the
Canadian Open, the National
Open and PGA of course, if he
qualities. and some other events
not too distant. Sectionally, he
has his Middle Atlantic PGA and
District Open titles to defend.
He will be busy, and judging
from yesterdays round, he's
ready.
Picks Up SITS With Win.
Bassler picked up about SITS
for his efforts yesterday. He
brought his three partners
Charley Yearick, Charley Enrich
and Dale McCarthy-home in a
triple tie for first in the am-pro,
all with best ball Gas. Johnny
Musser and Bill Woodall of All
View had a IS best ball and Glib
son and Finnessy Sc. Ward Bur-
CESS and M. c. c. Darlington of
Chevy Chase were among the 81
shooters.
Amateur gross winners were
Finnessy, Spencer Overton with

brook was among those tied for

at home. Rolling Road will be
playing at home for the third
