Communism would not be de-
feated on the battlefield, but by
helping the starving peoples of
Asia.

Sports Roundup
BY GAYLE TALBOT

NEW YORK (R-Utter non
sense involved in attempting to
Judge a prize fight accurately,
providing that the principals are
fairly evenly matched, was never
better illustrated than in the wide
ly televised number between Joey
Maxim, the former 175-pound
champion, and Floyd Patterson,
the Olympic Games phenom, in
Brooklyn the other night.
A few more like that and the
home expert, who has been con-
scientiously learning to score jabs
and hooks, win be fully justified
In throwing away his lead pencil.
If the men who make their living
at it can't come within country
mile of agreeing on winner, what
chance has an outsider OF attaining
any degree of skill at the new
parlor game? It's frustrating.
At the end of eight rounds of
spirited milling before small cap
tive audience and untold millions
Of, television fans, the three ring
officials agreed unanimously that
Maxim, the somewhat blubbery
veteran: had scored 4 clear-cut
victory over the 19-year-old Ne
gro, who had won his first Is bouts
as a professional. So
One of the judges, Arthur Suss-
kind, who fought as young Otto and
is considered to be one Of the
soundest officials in these parts,
voted the Maxim ticket II. The
other Judge, Joe Eppy. made il
SO. Referee Ruby Goldstein, who
was the closest of anybody to the
action, slipped Joey past the prom.
Using kid 4-3-1.
There was considerable booing
at the verdict, but the commen.
tator on the nations screen said
soothingly that the sounds you
heard came from Patterson's
friends and neighbors.

Tigers Talk
Trade With
The Yankees

NEW YORK R - Heartened by
the results of their trading efforts
the past two weeks, the Detroit
Tigers were in q mood today to
swap some more players.
Tiger boss Walter o. (Spike)
Briggs and his, first lieutenant,
General Manager Herold Muddy
Ruel, were in town today for a
confab with General Manager
George Weiss of the New York
Yankees.
While both Weiss and Briggs de-
MED a rumor that they had dis
cussed a deal involving five play
ers, neither would comment on a
report they planned to get together
again today. 7s'
The players mentioned include
southpaw Ted Gray, infielders
Johnny Pesky and Fred Hatfield
and outfielder Bob Nieman of De-
troit and second baseman Gil Nc
Dougald, outfielder Bob Cerv and
pitcher Tom German of New York.
Gray definitely is on the market.
The 29-year-old Detroit native ap-
parently has outl;ved his useful
ness to the Tigers. Currently
plagued by sore arm, he owns
a 1-2 record this season. When
right, he is one of the best left
handlers in the American League.
A fast ball pitcher with an excel
lent curve, he has a lifetime mark
of IS victories and 66 defeats In
six fun seasons with Detroit.
The Yankees are in dire need Of
another left-handed pitcher and an
outfielder. The slow start Of south
paw Whitley Ford has hurt the
club. The injury to Enos Slaughter
which wiz sideline the veteran out
fielder for at least a month has
weakened the Yankee bench.
