BucCeroni Favored
Over SIade Tonight
BY the Assoctoted Press

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 14.-Dan Buc-
ceroni and Jimmy Slade, both
looking for a shot at the heavy
weight title and Rocky Maricano,
the guy who holds it, enter the
ring at the same time tonight at
the st. Louis Arena.
Bucceroni, the Philadelphia
butcher boy, and Slade will be
the slugging principals in a 10
round bout. Marciano will serve
as referee in the televised match.
(The fight will be shown in
Washington on WTOP-TV,
channel 9, beginning at 10
p.m.)
Bucceroni is ranked high
among the heavyweightS and will
be favored. Slade, a clever New
York Negro officially listed as a
light Heavyweight, probably will
give up as much as Is pounds in
an effort to gain recognition
among the heavies. Bucceroni
usually scales about 1913 pounds.
Both are confident. Bucceroni
figures a victory could set up a
February match with Marciano.

down Roland LaStarza on a TKO.

SALEM, N. H., Oct. IA
Jockey Tony DeSpirito's national
record of 800 winners may we'll
be broken today but the teen-age
riding sensation shows little
concern. And you really can't
blame him.
Many a sports champion sets
a record which stands for dec
AIDES only to be broken by some
young upstart in the twilight of
the veterans career. It's an oc-
casion for sentimental recollec-
ton.
But should Willie Shoemaker
run his seasons winning total
to 391 with two victories today
at Golden Gate Fields in Albany,
Calf, no such sentiment need
be forthcoming. DeSpirito's do
ing mighty we'll for himself.
= At an age when most youths
are hitting the schoolbooks, this
wiry. darkly-handsome 17-year-
old is making more than $4,000
a year doing the job he likes
best.
Broke Old Record.
He startled the horse-racing
world last year by breaking the
record of 388 set back in 1906 by
Walter Miller and tied in 1850
by Shoemaker and Joe Culmone.
DeSpirito crossed $4,000 in
1852 as a 16-year-old apprentice
and booted home 800 winners in
1892 mounts, for a winning per-
centage of .26. 1t was a me-
teoric rise for a poor boy from
nearby Lawrence, Mass, who
hung around the Rockingham
Park stables here so long that
some one finally gave him a job
walking horses.
This year DeSpirito actually
has surpassed his 1852 winning
percentage, even though he lags
far behind Shoemaker's 389 vic
tories. Tony missed more than
100 racing days through illness
and suspensions. But he still
has 266 winners and a winning
percentage of more than 80.
Shoemaker's 1853 winning per-
centage is 20, compared to "a

Radio and N Cited
As Proof Of Need for
Regulating Baseball
By Robert K. Walsh

Sights and sounds far beyond
big league parks were cited in
the Supreme Court today as
. proof of a need for Federal anti
trust regulation to prevent inter-
State monopoly and player
slavery" in baseball.
Frederic A. Johnson, attorney
(. for a former Brooklyn Dodgers
farm hand, told the tribunal it
. could make the national pastime
subject to the Federal antitrust
laws without completely revers-
/; ing a 1922 decision that baseball
was essentially a game.
AS the court neared the end
of three hours of oral argument
that started yesterday on cases
involving the legal status of
baseball, Justice Frankfurter
engaged in lively discussion
with Mr.. johnson concerning
the argument that radio and
televiSion have basically changed
the baseball situation since 1922.
!. TV and Radio Use.
Mr.. johnson contended that
club owners today not only can
."control men from Hudson Bay
3to the equator" but also use the
TV and radio mediums for Ma
stlon-wide advertising and pro-
motion of good will as a business
proposition. This alone, he said,
should make baseball subject to
SPECULATION under the Federal
antitrust laws aimed at BAN
ming monopolies and prohibiting
restraint OF trade.
{ Justice Frankfurter interrupt
ed to recall that the 1922 opin-
ion of the court, in case in
Eolving the old Baltimore club
and the defunct Federal League,
was written by the late Justice
Oliver Wendell Holmes. He
asked Mr.. Johnson whether his
argument concerning Sights
and sounds not involved in the
1922 case" would be more ap-
propriate in a legal sense against
television and radio interests.
: Aren't you trying to go
against the nature of the game
of baSeball?" Justice Frankfurter
asked. People who look at tele-
ylsed games don't look at good
will. They look at running, bat
ting and fielding"
Industry and Advertising.
: Mr.. johnson insisted that
baseball today is tied up with
industrial production and ad-
vertiSing" to an extent not i'm
agined in 1922. He also asserted
that organized baseball has great
control over use and ALLEGATION
of radio and TV as an advertis-
ing medium in various parts of
the country.
Besides those changes since
the Holmes decision, Mr.. john
son said. there has been further
enlargement of baseball clubs
control and assignment of playS
ers, not only in big leagues but in
numerous farm systems. He de-
7clared that "the extent of this
assignment and control of nor
sonal services could be equivalent
to slavery and therefore should
be of direct concern to the Fed
eral Government"

Pihos' Wife Fears

About Daughter

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. l4.-Po-
lice today investigated a mys-
terious telephone call which led
Mrs. Pete Pihos, wife of the Phil
adelphia Eagles right end, to fear
her 7-year-old daughter had
been kidnapped.
Mrs. Pihos, %, said a man
whose voice she did not recog-
nize called yesterday while her
daughter, Donna, was in school.
The conversation went like
this, Mrs. Pihos said:
''You have little blond-haired
girl?"
eyes"
"She has a blue school bag
piped in red?"
Eyes. Did she lose it?"
Don't worry about her. Mrs.
Pihos. Well take very good care
of her"
"Who are you? What do you
mean? What are you talking
about?"
Mrs. PihoS said the stranger
didn't answer. although he ap-
parently was still listening. Then.
she said, he hung up. The call
could not be traced.
Mrs. PihoS Immediately con-
tacted Villa Marie Academy in
suburban Green Tree where DON
ma is a second-grade pupil. She
was told the child was in class.
Police were notified and a nun
escorted Donna home after
school.
Later Mrs. Pihos said: Il
think the call must have been
from a crank somebody try
ing to scare u.s."
The Pihos' have two other chill
dren-Pete, jr., 2, and Nikkie, 6

Smith Works Hard to Reverse
Decision in Bossio Remotch

From all the talk coming out
Of Billy Edwards gym, the Sat-
urday night fight between
Featherweights Gene Smith of
Washington and Bill Bossio of
Pittsburgh will be an even better
scrap than it was last time.
They tangle at Uline Arena for
10 rounds or less in a repeat of
a 10-rounder BoSSio won over
Smith last month. That was an
interesting fight and well worth
the rematch and both are busy
getting in their final training
licks at Billy Edwards place.
Smith thinks he won their pre-
vious bout, but isn't particularly
bitter about the decision. He's
working hard to get in shape.
Gene thinks he possibly under
estimated the Pittsburgh fighter
and is convinced that it was Bos-
sio's ability to make him (Smith)
fight Bossio's kind of a fight that
made the difference.

DeSpirito Too Busy to Worry
| As Shoemaker Neurs Record

last year when he had 315 win
ners in 1922 tries.
At the moment DeSpirito has
hot streak going at Rocking
ham with IA winners in 25
mounts in the last three racing
days. He has 81 winners in 106
tries in this autumn meeting for
a Whopping percentage of .35.
Fans Bet on DeSpiritO.
Many New England fans don't
bother to check the record of
Tony'S mounts, they just bet on
him anyway. There's a saying
that they'd send him off no worse
than 10 to l even if he were
astride a SaWhorSe.
He just won't let a horse quit
on him and furious stretch drives
are his trademark. In Nara
gansett Parks closing program
September 19 he accepted four
mounts and won on all four, in
Guiding three which seemed to
have little chance of winning.
One of them was Sailed Away
in the featured $4,000 'Gansett
Special. Tony booted him out
of the pack in the stretch to pro-
vide the first major stake tri-
umph by a New England horse
in years. ..
Right now Tony has at least
two good reasons to be indifferent
to worry about his riding record /:

Power and Howard
In Spotlight as First
Negroes With Yanks
BY the Asseeiesed Press

NEW YORK, Oct. 14.-The
world champion Yankees, for
the first time in their 51-year
history, have Negroes on their
roster.
The Yankees became the 18th
big league club to acquire a Ne
gro player when they announced
the purchase yesterday of Vic
Power and Elston Howard from
their Kansas City farm club.
The pair, together with six other
hopefuls from Kansas City and
Birmingham. will join the club
at the training camp in st. Pc
tersburg Fla. next February.
A great deal of attention will
be placed on the pair, especially
Power. who was regarded in
some quarters as ready for the
big leagues in 1852. Power, %,
is a strong right handed hitter
who led the American Associa-
ton in batting this season. Be-
sides hitting .349, the infelder-
outfielder led the league with
PIT hits and 324 total bases.
His collection, of hits included
80 doubles, 10 triples and 16
home runs. He batted in 90.
Howard May Be Better.
Howard, although not as ro-
bust a batter as Power, is re-
garded by several Yankee scouts
as the better player. He is an
outf1elder. He batted .286 in 139
games. Only %. Howard was
purchased from the Kansas City
MonarchS in 1852.
The Yankees purchased Power
from Drummondsville of the
Canadian Provincial League in
1850. He spent year with
syracuse. where he hit .331, be-
fore joining the Blues in 1852.
Powers outstanding work in
the minors put the Yankees on
the spot last spring. They never
had a Negro player on their
roster and rumors spread that
they never intended to have one.
Despite the pressure to bring up
Power, General Manager George
Weiss Stoutly- maintained the
Young Negro was not ready.
Il won't be pressured into
bringing up any player too soon,"
he said, especially Negro
player The Yankees are eager
to have Negro player but they
are not going to bring one up
for exploitation"
81 Now in Majors.
Power and Howard boost the
Negro delegation in the majors
to 81. The Cubs, Athletics. Red
legs and Pirates also have joined
the Dodgers, Giants, Braves, In
dianS, White Sox and Browns in
signing Negroes to their rosters.
Infielders Ernie Banks and
Gene Baker Joined the Cubs last
month and got into about a
dozen games. Pitcher Bob Trice
came up to the AS from Ottawa
and won two of three decisions.
The Redlegs and Pirates each
will have a Negro in training
camp next spring.

"but you can never tell what will
happen. Walter might die, and
somebody else might take over,
and where would I be?"
The 55 year = old Brooklyn
manager was asked if his atti-
tude on this score was influenced
by the long-term contracts given
Eddie Stanky of the Cardinals,
who got a three-year renewal
this year, and Leo Durocher of
the Giants. whose job was re-
neWed for two years.
Bitter About DurOcher.
Dresser said it was and added
bitterly, Leo took a contender
and wound up in fifth place and
got rewarded with a tWo-year
contract. I win two straight
spennants - the first time a
Brooklyn manager ever did that
--and all they offer me is one
year"
Dresser took over the man
.agerial reins at Brooklyn in 1851
after leading the Oakland club
to Pacific Coast League cham
pionship the previous season.
Under his direction, the Dodgers
built up a 1312-game lead in
d-August of 1851 only to lose
the pennant in playoff with
the Giants.
Dresser and the Dodgers re-
deemed themselves the next two
seasons, however, although both
times Brooklyn was beaten by the
Yankees in the World Series.
Dresser managed Cincinnati in
1885 and 1886 and never got
out of the second division.
Dresser, a chesty. intense in
.dividual, broke into organized
baseball with Moline of the
Three-I League in 1919. He sub
sequently played with Peoria
and St. Paul before moving up
to Cincinnati in 1925. He played
third base with the Redlegs reg
Ularly for four seasons.
Case Has PrecedentS.
A coach for the Dodgers for
eight years, Dresser followed the
tempestuous Larry McPhail to
the Yankees in 1947 and coached
for Bucky Harris, now manager
of the Senators. when he piloted
the Yankees in 1947 and 1948
This isn't the first time a
manager has been let out after
winning a pennant.
Rogers Hornsby led the Card
inals to a flag in 1926-their
f1rst-and then beat the Yankees
in the World Series. He and
President Sam Breadon got into
a disagreement during the win
ter and Hornsby was traded to
the Giants for frankie Frisch
and Pitcher Jimmy Ring.
Bill McKechnie also managed
the Cards to pennant in 1923.
but his team blew four straight
to the Yankees and he was re-

the next season. Hornsby re-
