make sure there will be no bad
decision next time"
Giardello now holds two dis
puted split decisions over the
New York welterweight, the first
August 4 at Blooklyn's Eastern
Parkway.
Puzzle for Bettors.
The reversal of the reversal
brought up some interesting
questions about those who had
made a wager on the fight. Ora
ham was a 2-to-1 favorite in
the Garden fight and some paid
off early on Giardello as a win
ner After reading the papers
the next day, they squawked
that Graham was the official
winner and they had won-not
lost.
Some bookmakers paid of
both ways to avoid trouble. Some
paid nobody but gave back the
money. Some have not been
available since.
In a way it's something like
the race track bettor who caShes
a winning ticket on a horse that
three days later is found to have
been revived up with dope. The
owners purse is held up but
there is no way of recalling the
caShed tickets.
The similarity to the fifth
down" game and the Gehrmann-
Wilt mile comes from the delay
in determining the eventual win
ner. Cornell beat Dartmouth on
f1fth-down pass play at Han
over. N. H.. in 1910. A couple
Of days later the movies proved
Cornell had used a fifth down.
And the final score reverted to:
Dartmouth, 3: Cornell. o.
The Gehrmann-Wilt contro-
versy beat the Giardello- Graham
affair by plenty. Gehrmann won
the race on January %, 1850. A
committee ruled February 1e
Wilt had won. This committee
was upheld at another meeting,
81. Finally on December
10, the AAU ruled that Gehr-
mann really had been the win
ner.

NEW YORK, Feb. 18.-The
Joey Giardello-Billy Graham
disputed decision goes into the
record books as the greatest re-
suit "rhubarb" since the Dart
mouth Cornell fifth down"
game of 1910 and the Don Gehr-
manfred Wilt mile of 1850.
Giardello finally discovered
yesterday, almost two months
after his December 10 Madison
Square Garden fight with
Graham, that he really won it.
He won it once for about three
minutes, held an unofficial" de-
cision for about 20 minutes and
then ''lost" when Bob Christen-
berry, chairman of the New York
State Athletic Commission, re-
versed Judge Joe Agnello's
scorecard.
Supreme Court Justice Bernard
Botein gave it pack to Giardello
when he annulled the commits
sion's action in an l1-page de-
cision. Christenberry had no
comment, but it was not believed
that he planned any appeal.
Court Hits Vague Reason.
In his opinion Justice Botein
said the only reason the COM
mission gave for changing Ag-
nello's card was that ''he had
failed to follow the standards set
forth in the boxing rules" This
reason. the justice said, was so
vague as to be meaningless"
The two fighters, training for
their third meeting March 6 at
the Garden over the 12-round
route, were ready to settle mat
tiers in the ring.
Giardello, training at Summit,
N. j., was elated over the news.

Dykes Biol Choice
Over MiceIi Tonightin
kidd|eweight Debut
BY the Associated Press

MIAMI, Fla. Feb. 18.-Lanky
Bobby Dykes is expected to be
a 3-to-1 favorite tonight when
he makes his debut as a middle
weight against stocky Joe Miceli
in a 10-round fight at the Coral
Gables Coliseum.
Dykes, originally from San
Antonio, Tex, now fights out of
Miami and will be making his
45th appearance here. He is
seeking his second victory over
Miceli. a 24-year-old soldier
whom Dykes decisioned in 10
rounds last year in New York.
Dykes will weigh about 154
for his first fight as a middle
weight while Miceli is expected
to scale $50.
The fight will be televised Ma
ton wide over CHS and will be
the second to come out of Florida
in less than two months. The
first was on New Year eve when
Danny Nardico upset Jake La
Motta in the same ring.
(The bout will be on tele-
vision in Washington over
WTOP-TV starting at 10 PM
Dykes said he will try for an
impressive victory over Miceli, a
New Yorker who is the sixth
ranking welterweight. Then,
Dykes said, he will ask that he
be recognized ahead of Ornie
Durando as a contender for Ray
Robinson's vacated title.
Durando, Paddy Young and
Bobo Olson are the three most
likely candidates being consid-
cred for the middleweight cham
pionship, according to Bob Chris
tenberry, chairman of the New
York State Athletic Commission.
II beat Durando here with
ease," Dykes said when informed
he had been dropped from the
elimination tournament along
with seven others.
Dykes said he also offered to
fight Olson amy time or any
place."
Both Dykes and Miceli lost to
Gil Turner in their last outings.
Turner decisioned Dykes in 10
rounds and stopped Miceli in six.
