NEW YORK, Sept. 20 (P.-
The State Athletic Commission
has suspended Paddy DeMarco,
the former lightweight champion,
on the grounds that he had a
person with a criminal record
acting as his manager cor under
cover" manager.
DeMarco, who reigned briefly
Ias lightweight king from March
S to November II, 1854, bitterly
denied the accusation. He said
he would ask for a hearing on
the decision within 10 days as
commission rules permit.
Julius Helfand, commission

hearing to criticize Manager Sam
Boardman of Marlborough,
Conn.,. for selling a 10 per cent

Palermo is manager of Johnny

The commission first disal-
lowed a proposed October / bout

DeMarco and Johnny Busso and
then announced DeMarco's in

The commission also definitely
suspended DeMarco's trainer
Joseph Buoncore, and barred
Jimmy Knapp, DeMarco's al

friend, from all boxing clubs

Setbacks that might have dis
couraged a less interested per-
son.
There was the time several
years ago, for example, when a
trailer-truck smashed into his
car and put Stickley in the hos
pital with badly injured neck.
Luckily, the Redskins were on
the road two weeks and Art was
able to appear the third week,
wearing an enormous and I'M
comfortable leather brace. He
had to bride the doctors to let
him out of the hospital for the
game, and crawled right back
in bed when it was over.
He's worked through bitter
weather when the ink froze in
his fountain pen, and there was
that trying day when the Red
skins we're shut out in a cham
pionship game by a certain team
from Chicago. That one kept him
overtime while he added up the
visitors figures.

Stickley's statistics were used
on the radio by announcers
whose names will be recalled by
oldtimers. The list included Ted
Austenkamp, Fred Phalor. Nor
man Brokenshire and the late
Tony Wakeman. He separated
the gains from the losses for
Georgetown when Gabe Murphy
was graduate manager. and later
when Rome Schwagel succeeded
Gabe. He did the same for Jim
Pixlee at George Washington,
and Bergman at Catholic Uni
versity. Maryland is the only
major school in the local area
that hasn't used Stickley's fig
ures to measure its progress on
the gridiron. And he's enjoyed
almost every minute Of it.
Stickley had to wait until
Sammy Baugh retired before he
could lay claim to the distinc-
ton of being the oldest" Red
skin in point of service aside
from George Marshall. the pres
ident. On second thought, Art
isn't sure he's yet entitled to the
accolade.

Luncheon Fetes
Redskins Today
BY LEWIS F. ATCHIsoN

About 700 members. guests
and friends of the Touchdown
Club welcomed the Redskins
home in style today with a
ceremonial luncheon at the Hotel
Statler.
The program was televised by
WTTG. Fans will get a chance to
see the team in action via teIevi-
sion Sunday when the Redskins
the Detroit Lions in Buffalo. Sta
ton WTOP. Channel 8. will carry
the game, starting at 2 pm.
Jim Gibbons and Eddie Gala
her, the teams radio-TV voices,
served as master Of ceremonies
at today's luncheon, while
George P. Marshall, team presi-
dent, and Coach Joe Kuharich
were on the list Of speakers.
Commissioner Robert E. Nc
Laughlin gave the welcoming
address.
With players going and COM
ing in the final week before the
squad must be reduced to IS, the
Redskins have lost some ground
in preparations for their league
debut at Pittsburgh on Septem-
Der 30. Tommy Runnels is be-
ginning to fit in nicely at left
halfback, and Jerry Planutis
seems ready. along with Dick
James, to give the squad a po-
tent one-two punch at right half.
Among the players who met
an admiring audience that
crowded the Statler,s banquet
room were John Paluck, rookie
end from the University OF
Pittsburgh, and Harry Babcock,
former Georgia end who played
with the San Francisco Forty
Miners. Both reported Tuesday.
Working them into the lineup
long enough to get good line
on their potential is one Of
Kuharich's problems.
Babcock was San Francisco's
bonus choice in 1853 and could
help the Redskins if he succeeds
in shaking the injury jinx that
has beset him during his three
years in pro football. Paluck
lis so far behind it will be at
least a month before he can
begin to show the form that
made the Redskins take him as
their No. 2 draft choice.

To Play Miami Of Ohio

The Redskins repeatedly have
had a number Of preseason in
juries, and the sophomores also
have not developed as fast as
Point would like. One Of the
regulars, Guard Bill Diebel, def
initely will miss the game be-
cause Of an injury.
Miami also claims a lack of
depth at quarterback, fullback
and tackles, but it probably is no
worse of than CIV which is
taking only a SS-man squad to
the game.
What Miami has or has not,
however, largely is a mystery
to Coach 30 Sherman of CIV.
This will be the first meeting
between the two schools. In adj
dition. the Redskins don't even
have the same coach they had
last year. Ara Parseghian, last
years top man, moved over to
Northwestern, one of the teams
Miami beat last year, and took
most of his staff with him.
Miami is a Information team,
and Quarterback Dimitroff, a S.
foot-11, 192-pounder, is re-
'garded as a very smart field
general. He's a slick ball han
dler, and, according to the Miami
publicity, "has the passing accu-
racy and power of a howitzer."
He's the strongest thrower
they've had in years there. In
addition to his passing, he con-
verted Is touchdowns last year,
kicked one field goal and did
most of the teams punting, aver
aging "a yards. He also is rated
