Government Seeks to Prove Boxing Club IS Illegal Monopoly

BC president. and Arthur
WirtE, who heads the Chicago
IBC, between them control
most Of the big stadiums
around the country.
One Of the principal pieces
Of evidence the Justice De-
partment claims to have Of
IBC monopolistic practices In
wolves Joe Louis In his fading
postwar years. IBC persuaded
Joe Louis to resign his title. 1t
is charged, in exchange for
$150.000 and for getting IBC
the exclusive services of the
four leading contenders for
his heavyweight championship.
The four contenders would
stage an elimination contest
for the vacated title.
IBC included a clause, It Is
alleged, which would sew up
the new champions exclusive
services. Louis got the broad
casting and movie rights to
these bouts, but turned them
over TO the IBC.
By obtaining exclusive title
to champions services, to sta
diums, and broadcasting-movie
rights. the Justice Depart
ment claims, IBC tends to ex-
clude others from promoting
championship boxing contests.
Big Business
The money at stake In these
championship bouts is Of big
business proportions. of course.
The Justice Department claims
that from June. 1949, to
March this year the IBC
crossed about $4.5 million on
championship bouts 1t staged.
Including non-title fights, the
lbC gross IN that period was
around SIS million.
Obviously IBC is doing all
right financially. Archie
Moore's case for equality of
opportunity won't impress IBC
much unless he can prove he
is q big moneymaker. IBC
has told him that the line
forms on the right for bouts
with Marciano. At the head
Of the line is Ezzard Charles,
who Is to get q rematch next
month in return for his sur
prisingly good showing against
Marciano earlier this summer.
Nino Valdez, a Cuban, may be
next in line.
Moore may be nearly 40
years old before he gets, a
chance at the heavyweight
crown.

stocks value up to about $50
from q low this year Of $50.
It is this sort Of skyrocket-
ing. plus the lush dividends

far has delivered, that brings
the investors forward when he
needs money.

vince them they should vote

directors and GUST the con-
sentative incumbents.
Judging from his past record
his popular appeal should be
strong. But another gigantic
proxy fight this year-for
control of the New York Cen
tral-showed that popularity
among individual stock owners
is not always enough to win.
In that big public relations
fight the roads management
gained the most proxy votes
among individual owners. But
the challenger won control of
the railroad by getting support
of brokers who held large
blocks of stock.

soon win celebrate his 38th

There is good reason to be-
lieve that If he had been able
to get out of the bush and
into the big time many years
ago. he would have given men
like Billy Conn and Gus Les
nevich a good run for their
money. But Archie couldn't
get a shot at the title.
Many blame Moore's plight
and that Of countless other
young boxers like him, on the
! alleged monopolistic practices
among promoters who stage
the championship bouts. The
Justice Department charges
that today, the international
Boxing Club and It's afiiliates
are violating the Sherman

OF course sheer weight of

that even outstanding fighters

whom, moneywise. are them

whether they intended to OPP

This wheeling and dealing"

the Government lawyers were
on notice they faced the same
obstacle.
Late last year the United
States District Court for
southern New York dismissed
the Governments monopoly
suit against the international
Boxing Club and its associ-
ates. Like baseball. the court
ruled, boxing Is not in inter-

TO reverse this decision on ju-
risdiction. It claims that since
