Stonehanl Sees
Another Flag
ForHis Giants

NEW YORK R-Horace Stone
ham, president of the New York
Giants, calmly predicted today
that his club would win the Ma
tional League pennant again.
And, to the sorrow of all Brook
lyn, he couldn't see the Dodgers
as major threat.
Stoneham made his observations
before emplaning for a five-week
vacation at his ScottSdale, Ariz.,
home, just a stones throw from
the Giants training base at Ph0en-
tx. While there are no official
plans, he probably will meet with
Manager Leo Durocher, who is in
California.
Barring bad breaks through in
juries, l think we can make it two
in a row." said Stoneham. 1.-THE
rest of the league has to catch
us. We are the champions"
So confident is he that he has
no deals in mind.
1--WE are not going to do any
Christmas shopping for a deal just
for the sake of a DEAL" he said.
"We're not shutting the door on
anybody who cares to suggest a
trade, of course.
"But we're not going to make
one with anybody unless we are
certain of Strengthening the club
a great deal. If a favorable deal
comes through, we'll make it. But
we are in a position good enough
to make dealing unnecessary.
Then came the bombshell on the
Dodgers.
81 look for the strongest opposi-
ton to come from Milwaukee. l
figure the Braves to finish ahead
of the Dodgers. There has been a
lot of talk about the Dodgers max
ing a deal, but nothing has hap
pened so far. Unless they come up
with a big deal, l can't see them
as a big threat"

Korean War
Seen AS Tool
OF Red China
BY FRED SAITO

TOKYO IA Japanese tech
nlcian says the Chinese Commu-
nists-for whom he worked as an
adviser-uSed the Korean War to
consolidate their power in China.
Kumajiro Fukuda recently was
repatriated from Red China. He
told his experiences in an article.
"Red China as l Saw It." pub
liShed in Tairiku Mondai (Contin-
entail Problems.)
Fukuda went to China in 1916.
He was director of Manchurian
chemical industries when the Chi
nese captured him in the port of
Dairen at the end of World War
II. He was impressed into recon-
Struction work and helped to build
chemical plants over wide areas
OF China.
Fukuda said the Communist re-
gime in its first year after taking
over in 1S49 financed its way in
part by killing landlords and
wealthy merchants and seizing
their properties.
dissatisfaction mounted all
over the country after the first
year" he wrote, land the Com
munists had to round up many
arti-C Communists everywhere.
"The Korean War came amid
these circumstances and the Com
munists jumped on it as a chance
to consolidate their power"
Fukuda said the Communists fl
nanced the war by forcing bonds
on Chinese with money and there
by wiped out the wealthy class.
Mao Tze-tung forced through a
gigantic purge beginning in Janu-
ary 1852, Fukuda recalled. The peo-
pie were told to act as informers
on anyone suspicious.
IAN untold number of people
were arrested and executed in six
m his in. peoples courts, -
Vukuda wrote. "There were no de-
fense la wyers, no written
laws. :"
Fukuda said the terror regime
was succeeding. Every Chinese
must work eight hours a day, at
tend school classes three to four
hours a day and recite Communist
catechisms until they are ex-
hauSted.
Fukuda said Mao Tze-tung, how
ever, still was widely respected for
the Chinese. people believe he is
the first Chinese to make the ma
ton independent" in many years.

Locals Seek
To Even Their
Record Tonight

The Key West high h
school basketball team starts
its bid tonight for the Gold
Coast conference crow n
when they meet the South
Dade cagers on the high
school hardwood at 8 o.
clock.
The Conchs will be out seeking
their first win of the season at the
expense of the Rebels who are de-
Tending conference champions. Per-
ennial rivals of Key West, South
Dade walked off with the title last
wear as the result of a highly con-
troversial bit of schedule juggling.
Il seems that the Conchs and the
Rebels met three times last year
and the locals walked off with two
of the verdicts. South Dade, how
ever, managed to get only one of
the ConchS victories into the Gold
Coast Conference record book and
Key West ended up in second
place.
That's only enc of the reasons
why the Conchs want to win to-
night. They are also out to justify
the confidence that Coach Win
Jones has expressed in them. It's
no secret around the Whalton ST..
hattle-pit that JoJneS htinks this is
the year for the Conchs to make
q name for themselves in confer
ence circles. Although they dropped
their opener to the Coral Gables
quintet - a Big Ten competitor -
the Conchs showed that they have
some real talent and once they get
rolling, may well burn up the con-
ference.
They've been working hard on
their offensive game with foul
shooting and playmaking coming
in for lot of attention. Gables
managed to shade the Conchs
largely because of their accuracy
from the foul line.
Jones also announced one lineup
change tonight when he gave rangy
Stu Yates the nod at a starting
guard position. Yates missed ac-
ton in the Gables clash because
Of an ankle injury.
Yates will be flanked by Bill
Haney, with John Carbonell in at
hi regular center slot and Gene
Favors and Juio Henriquez at the
forwards.
In reserve, Jones will have Ja.
lilo Santana, Fred and Ed Curry,
Red Stickney and Tony Hoppe.

Sandy Says He'll
Defend The Toga
When He's Ready
BY JACK HAND

NEW YORK lR - The National
Boxing Assn. withdrew recognition
of Sandy Saddler as world feather
weight champion today but the
boxers manager defiantly said
he'll defend when he's ready and
that will be February"
Bob Christenberry, chairman of
the New York State Athletic Com
mission, sat in the middle and
said:
"Tll watch this with great deal
OF interest. l certainly will take
no action before our commission
meets (Friday). | have found the
NBA hasn't always been solid

titles being won and lost in the
ring"
There was no if, whereas or may
be about the NBA's position, an
nounced at its Cleveland conven-
ton Sept. IA and restated by Henry
Lamar, its executive secretary.
The brief text said:
"At the National Boxing assn.
convention in Cleveland Sept. ia it
was unanimously voted that title
recognition would be withdrawn if
Sandy Saddler failed to defend his
world featherweight title against
either of two logical contenders
(Percy Bassett or Red Top Davis
within 80 days.
"Saddler has failed to defend his
title within the prescribed period.
AS of today, Dec. IA, 1854, the Ma
tional Boxing Assn. withdraws title
recognition from boxer Sandy Sad
der"
Lamar also commented:
"We gave Saddler ever chance
to make a bout. He was discharged
from the Army and has made no
move to defend his title although
he has had seven bouts since leav-
ing the Army"
In Providence, RI, Tony Pc
tronella, NBA president, said this
was the beginning of new get
tough policy with all champions.
Petronella said the NBA had
planned to declare the winner of
Davis-Bassett fight as the cham
pion but the elimination bout was
held "ahead of time" Davis out
pointed Bassett at New York Nov.
26.
"NoW there is a technicalit
said Petronella. 81 am taking a
poll of the Executive Committee
to see if we can recognize Davis
at a special meeting Jan. IA in
New york"
Charlie Johnston, Saddler's man.
ager, was bitter about the NBA
announcement. He had just re-
turned from Spokane, where Sad
dler won an over-the-weight match
from Bobby Woods last week.
"Saddler will defend his title
when he's ready" said Johnston.
"And that will be February. Pc
tronella should concern himself
with safety measures in the NBA." ="
Saddler, %, was discharged from
the Army early this year. He won
the title from Pep Oct. 20, 194S,
lost it to Pep Feb. II. 1949, and
won it back Sept 8, 1850. His last
defense also was against Pep Sept.
26, 1851. He went into the Army
early in 1852.

making talk. Insiders are con-
vinced that AL WE'LL, the champs
manager, will never consent to a
match with Archie Moore, the willy
light heavyweight king.
Earl Flora, of the Ohio State
Journal, insists it happened. In his
column he tells of the Columbus
lady who, wishing to be helpful,
wrote to Philadelphia PhilS. that
there were a couple of high school
graduates in her city who looked
like fine prospects. She suggested
that the Phils have one of their
scouts look them over. In due time
she received this reply:
"You may be sure we appreciate
your recommending to us the two
players. However, we instruct our
scouts not to sign players who are
under six feet tall"
Flora suggests that, for a club
which has won only one pennant in
the past 80 years, this is being
pretty choosy.

"avowed purpose of outlawing
boxing"
Norris said he authorized his
attorneys to file the suit to "clear
the good name of sport which
brings pleasure to millions of peo-
pie and to clear myself" /"
Norris named no individuals in
his statement nor did he say
where or when the suit would be
filed.
In New York, Sidney L. James,

ment when informed of Norris
planned action:

La Sale, defending NCAA cham
pion, was voted the best college
basketball team in the country
today in the first Associated Press
poll of the season.
The Explorers, who kept their
record clean by edging Niagara in
overtime Saturday night for their
fourth victory, were put at the
head of the ballot by 54 of the 90
sports writer's and broadcasters
participating in the poll. On the
usual basis of 10 points for first,
9 for second, etc., La Sale wound
up with a total of BAT points, well
ahead of second-place Kentucky.
The Wildcats, first in the final
AP poll last spring, received IS
first-place votes and a total Of $50
points.
Illinois took over third place, far
behind the leaders, with eight first
place votes and 3s1 points. Trailing
the Illini in order were North Car
olina State, Dayton, Missouri, Indi-
ana, UCLA, Duquesne and Mag
ara.
Illinois came all the way up from
14th on the strength Of a victory
over Oklahoma AIM, plus earlier
triumphs over Bradley and Mis-
souri,. Missouri, however, came
back from that loss to upset Indi-
ana and Iowa, the early Big Ten
favorites, and last night beat Wis

Sometimes I'd have the cottage
cheese with chives. Lunch was
