The Same Tempo
All George Needs

Associated Press Sfoff Writer
NEW YORK

George Gobel easily could be
television's newest comedy star.
All he need do Is maintain the
same tempo Of sly, impish humor
he displayed in the first of his
regular series.
His was one of the three half
hours of comedy picked by NBC-
TV to replace the discontinued
"Show-o Shows" on Saturday
night.
Included are 1mogene Coca's
first venture before the cameras
without Sid Caesar, and a new
Jimmy Durante program in
which the 61-year-old veteran
alternates every other week with
the much younger Donald
O'Connor.
To Imogene went the honor
of starting things off in a mix
ture of situation comedy and her
dance satire specialties. It was
the type Of program which will
take more than one showing TO
win a regular place on the view
er's schedule.
The intention is to give her
opportunity to play herself in
sketches based on her career, as
she did in the opener, and to let

carried by NBC-TV, the college

Last weeks game was the first
of a series Of 10 to be carried on

game is scheduled because of
Thanksgiving Day pro football
two days earlier.
The traditional Thanksgiving

Bay Packers and the Detroit
Lions will be carried by WTTG.
Du Mont and WTTG also will
carry the pro championship bat
tie between Eastern and Western
division winners eventually. The
annual East-West game in San

will be another Du Mont t-WTTG

Yanks Purchase SIeafer;
Give Up on Ralph Branca
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Oct. 16.-The
New York Yankees today bought
Lefthander Lou Sleater, a relief
pitcher, from Toronto of the In
ternational League and officially
gave up on the comeback chances
of Pitcher Ralph Branca.
To make room for Sleater the
Yankees asked waivers on Bran
ca and said they will give the
righthander his unconditional re-
lease unless claimed. Branca,
former Brooklyn star, won four
and lost three this past season
with a 3-3 mark at Detroit and
10 with the Yankees.
Sleater has been up before
with Washington and the Browns
but Yankee scout reports indi-
cate he has conquered wildness
which had plagued him. He had
a TT record in the American
Association in 1854 with Charles
ton and Kansas City and a 3.02
earned run average.

Minis Bout Features
Card tuesday in Bid
For Fans al Turner'S S

Holly Minis, Washington's lead
ing prospect for shot at Bobo
Olson's middleweight champion
ship. is the chief attraction at
Turner's Arena Tuesday night
as Matchmaker Vince Mcmahon
makes a big bid to re-establish
boxing as a paying proposition
here.
Mcmahon wants to get boxing
back on a regular basis at his
w street plant and as lure
for customers is bringing in the
most popular of the Washington
area fighters. Last week he made
an encouraging start with Gene
Smith as the attraction.
Nearly 800 customers showed
up on hot and sweltering
night, and with the high-rank-
ing Minis coming this week and
with a break in the weather
due, something over a 1000
crowd may reward the promoter.
The feature Tuesday night
presents Minis in a 10-rounder
against Bobby Lee of Baltimore.
a 25-year-old managed by Sylvan
Bass, who is regarded as having
something of a whirlwind style.
Minis, a veteran who has
tangled with some of the best
since he first came up from the
preliminary ranks in 1948, does
a workmanlike job in every fight.
He's not spectacular but he does
put out an honest nights fight
ing, and his steadiness has had
him ranked among the first five
160-pounders for nearly two
years.
In fact, it was Minis anxiety to
give the customers what they pay
fora fight-that resulted in his
10-f1ght winning string being
ended with draw against Bobby
Dykes at Turner's Arena early
last summer. He chased after
the back-pedaling Dykes all
night, but got hit often enough
when he caught Dykes for the
judges to disagree on everything
and settle for a draw.
That decision was regarded as
a poor one by most ringsiders.
It did the over-the-hill Dykes no
good, and it slowed Minis drive
toward a championship fight.
AS part of the 10-fight win
string Minis carried into that
bout was a knockout here over
Sandy Baxter earlier this year.
He moved in on Baxter and had
him helpless after five rounds.
Other good recent victories in
clude a knockout over Willie
Troy, his hometown rival, last
summer, and a split decision over
Moses Ward.
