Sandy 9-to-5
Over Beau in FiII-in
For Heavy Title Bout
By the Associated Press

NEW YORK, April 10.-In
case you haven't heard or have
been away on a long trip, don't
be surprised when Randy Sandy
and Jimmy Beau pop up on your
television screen tonight instead
of Rocky Marciano and Jersey
Joe Walcott.
Tonight was the original date
for the heavyweight title return
bout in Chicago Stadium. But
an injury to Rocky's nose forced
a postponement until May Is.
Sandy, a skinny, 22-year-old
New York middleweight, meets
Beau of New Canaan, Conn, in
the main hereunder at st. Mich
olas Arena. Sandy is 9-to-5
choice to beat his heavier and
more experienced rival.
The bout will start at 10 pm.
and will be telecast and broad
cast over the same networks that
would have carried the big
heavyweight fight. (WNBW will
carry the telecast in Washing
TOM
Sandy was signed to fight
Willie Troy but the Washington
youhgSter became ill with a fever
Wednesday and Beau was hastily
recruited to substitute.
At 160 pounds, Beau will have
about an eight-pound weight
edge over Sandy. who is only II
months out of the amateur ranks.
The 23-year old Beau has fought
some of the best middleweights
and light-heavies in the trade. If
he had been fighting more often
he would be big choice over the
Harlem boy.
Beau has had only two fights
IN nine months. He was out
pointed by Bobo Olson last June
and on March 80 returned to ac-
ton against Pierre Langlois and
was beaten by the French mid
dleweight contender.
Sandy, a graduate of the Gold
en- Gloves ranks, has a 1O-1 rec
ord. The lone defeat was a TO-
round knockout by Troy last
September.

Lakers Seek CIincher
In Fifth P|ayoff Game
With Knicks Tonight
By the Assoeioted Press

NEW YORK, April 10.-Min-
neapoliS can win it's second
straight National Basketball AS
sociation playoff title at the ex-
pense of New York tonight
and the Knicks still are seeking
a formula to stop the Lakers in
this must" game.
So far it's been a much differ
ent series than the one the two
teams played last year when New
York extended Minneapolis the
full seven contests before losing
In 1852 Minneapolis won the
first encounter and from then
on the squads traded victories
until the Lakers captured the
finale on their home court.
New York started the current
playoff with a victory but since
then the defending champions
have rolled up three wins-the
last two on the 69th Regiment
Armory floor here.
The Knickerbockers rallied
from a 10-point deficit in the
third period Wednesday night
but lost it. 71-69.
Should the Knicks triumph to-
night. games are scheduled in
Minneapolis Sunday and Wednes-
day, as needed.
Coach Joe Lapchick's strategy
includes a lineup shuttle in which
Ernie Vandweghe is slated to
start in place of Dick Mcclure
Johnny Kundla, Lakers coach,
is depending on his usual combi-
nation. Big George Mikan, who
hit 27 points Wednesday and
who has been a thorn in the
side of the Knicks throughout
the series, is counted on heavily,
along with Jim Pollard, Vern
Mikkelsen, Slater Martin and
Pep Saul.
Whitley Skoog, reserve guard
who clinched the latest Mime
apoLs victory with driving
layup, also will see plenty of
action.

ST. LOUIS, April 10.-Sports-
mans Park has a new owner and
a new name today.
St, Louis two ball clubs-the
Cardinals and Browns-reversed
their tenant-landlord roles in an
100000 deal. The Northside
park now is Busch Stadium.
The park first was named
BudWeiser Stadium, but subse-
quently the new owners changed
their minds.
Officials OF Anheuser-Bus
Inc, owner of the Cardinals, and
the Browns gave two reasons for
the ownership change:
The Cardinals wanted to make
expensive improvements, but not
while some one else owned the
park, and the Browns could use
the money to help pay operating
costs this year.
Rudie Schafer, general man
ager of the Browns, speaking in
the absence of President Bill
Veeck last night, said the sale
had no connection with the clubs
attempt to move to Baltimore
last month.
Cards Paid $4,000 a Year.
The Cardinals had been rent
ing the park for $4,000 a year
under lease running through
1860. They also footed half the
maintenance costs, which last
year added an estimated $685.
900 to their bill.
The Browns now will rent
from the Cards at $175,O0O an
nually, but will have no main
tenance expenses. They have
taken a flve-year lease which
means they will return the sale
price plus $4,000 in that time.

Cards Deal for Browns Park
Poves Way for Improvement

August A. Busch, president of
the Cards, in announcing the
purchase yesterday, said "the
park was not maintained on a
scale we regard as meeting major
league standards"
Busch said a 100000 face lift
ing program will be carried out
during 1858.
He said the Browns had told
him they were heavily in debt.
Schaffer said the sale of the
park would materially help the
Browns immediate operations
and enable the club to clear debts
incurred in recent years."
Browns to Pay Mortgage.
Among those debts is a mort
gage on the stadium of an undis-
closed amount which the Browns
will pay.
'The sale was prompted en-
tirely by our inability to make
necessary repairs and improve
ments and we are most apprecia-
tive of the fine cooperation we
have received from all Anheuser-
Busch officials" Schaffer added.
In 1885 Chris Won Der Ahe's
old st. Louis Browns were play
ing ball in Sportsman's Park at
Grand and Dodier streets. Robert
Lee Hedges revived the Browns
in the early part of this century
and rebuilt stands on the same
site in 1909.
The park was purchased by
the Browns in 1916 from the
estate of Phil Ball, former
Browns owner. It was modern
lied at that time.
The Cardinals, who previously
played in another stadium a few
blocks northwest of Sportsman S

Mink Coater Sentenced For False Testimony On REC Financing

WASHINGTON, LP - E. Merl Young Thursday was sentenced to serve from four months to two years in prison for lying to sena- tors who dug into his mink coat buying and high financing while investigating alleged influence on REC loans.
 Young and his wife, Lauretta, came to Washington from Mis- souri a decade ago. He got a job as a $25 a week government mes senger and she got job in the office of then Sen. Harry Truman of Missouri.
 Young rose to $7,50o a year post with the Reconstruction Fi- nance Corp. but left it to be the high-salaried Washington repres- entative of several firms. Mrs. Young moved on to the White House as a stenographer when Truman became President.
 The Senate inquiry which brought Young to court was in 1851. It concerned whether he and others had exerted influence to get the REC to make loans.
 The senators developed that a $9,45O pastel mink coat received by Mrs. Young was paid for orig inally by Washington lawyer who represented REC loan seek CTS. Young said he, repaid the lawyer.
