Drastic Chances
In California
Boxing Urged

SACRAMENTO. Calf. Aug. 8
(P).-A special State inveStigat-
ing committee today urged dras-
tic changes in control of boxing
in California and recommended
reyoking the licenses of some
of the biggest figures in what
it called gangster-r ridden sport.
The special committee, APP
pointed by Gov. Goodwin j.
Knight, landed its heaviest blows
on Matchmaker Babe Mccoy and
Promoter Cal Eaton, both of Los
Angeles, and Promoter Jimmy
Murray of Oakland.
The three were characterized
as dictators in their areas and
were accused Of associating with
underworld figures.
OF Mccoy the report said:
He is truly representative of
all that is wrong with boxing to-
day. All of us who worked on
this project have had experience
in law enforcement, and in the
course of such employment have
known and dealt with criminals
Mccoy is as vicious as any OF
us have encountered"
The report urged both Mccoy
and Eaton be booted out of box
ing and forbidden even to visit
training camps. Eaton is the
father of Robert Eaton. who is
married to Gov. Knights
daughter.
In Los Angeles. Mccoy and
Eaton learned of the report in
advance and issued denials for
simultaneous release with the
report.
Both indicated they would
fight in court any move to re-
woke their licenses.
The report described Murray
as representative of the worst
element in boxing"
Sid Flaherty, manager of Bobo
Olson, the former middleweight
champion; Heavyweight Eddie
Machen and other fighters, was
criticized. but only a fine was
recommended in his case.
The committee described as
illegal Flaherty's setting up of a
satellite organization, California
Boxing Enterprises, Inc, to pro-
mote fights while he was a
licensed manager. But it said he
treated his fighters right.
The committee recommended
he be given a reasonable time
to decide whether he wants to be
a manager or a promoter.
Twenty-Six persons were listed
in the recommendations for
license revocations.
Accusations ranged from fight
fixing to cheating boxers, Grim
inal backgrounds, and illegal
combinations of managers and
promoters.
The report urged California
adopt a system like New York's
one-man rule, with a paid COM
mission chairman.

Joe Branzell claims that the
All-American Amateur Baseball
Association tournament in Johns
town, Pa. presents every veal
the best brand of teen-age base
ball in the country.
Could be: and if so, then the
clubs which meet in Griffith
Stadium Monday night should
be considered two of the best
teen-age teams in the Nation
because Federal Storage OF
Washington and NORD-La Rocca
of New Orleans have compiled
the best winning records at
Johnstown.
Both clubs are limited to boys
19-and-under. and, naturally
the personnel changes yearly
But Branzell sees no reason why
either team-especially New Or
leans-should be below par for
the 18th annual tournament
coming up.
New Orleans has won four
AAABA titles. the last three in
a row. Federal Storage has won
once and finished second four
times. Their records are 1918
and 1921. New Orleans having
the percentage edge.
AS for his own club, Federal
Storage. Branzell says. If our
pitching holds up-and it's
looked real good lately-we ought
to do as we'll in JohnStown as we
ever did. We have as good a
chance as anyone.
Usually Six Pitchers
Usually we go with six pitch
ers and maybe two are outstand-
ing This year it looks like we
have four who are outstanding
and possibly five"
Branzell has reference to 1.-THE

The fifth boy is Craig Anderson,
chosen from the Home Plate
Club team along with Frank
Copper to fill out the 18-man
roster. His other two pitchers
are Jim Eichberg and Gordon
Kissner. both adept in relief
work.
Bickerton ranks as the ace
of the staff with a 81 overall
record which includes a four
hitter against Camp Lejeune and
a three-hitter against Fort Myer,
the latter a Shutout with l6
strike-outs.
Baker is the next most active
with a 4-3 mark and the best

LEESBURG. Va, May IA
Loudoun County public utility
has been formed to develop water
resources in the Northern Vir-
Iginia county.
Jesse M. Hughes, who heads
the new Loudoun Water Corpora
ton, said it will be a tax-paying
utility which will protect the
natural resources Of Loudoun
County for its citizens.
Mr.. Hughes, a dairy farmer in
southern Loudoun is chairman
of the County Democratic Com
mittee.
He said the corporation, which
which was chartered with $25,-
900 capital, plans the immediate
development of water resources
i'm the county.
He said there are no plans
at present to tap Goose Greek
water. adding that the corpora
ton plans to develop another
source. The town of Fairfax
seeks to develop a reservoir on
Goose Creek.
Mr.. Hughes said that if
Loudoun County loses control of
its water it could mean the loss
Iof potential industrial develop
ment in the future.
The corporation opposed a
petition in Circuit Court by the
town of Fairfax for permission
to build a reservoir for water
on Goose creek.
Other officers of the new COR
poration are Neil S. Lantzy. vice
president of the Washington and

LEESBURG. Va, May AT
torneys representing the town of
Fairfax said today they will file
an amended petition in Loudoun
County Circuit Court for per-
mission to build a reservoir on
Goose Greek.
A previous petition was thrown
out of Circuit Court yesterday by
Judge Raynor v. Snead on
grounds that it did not meet
statutory requirements. The new
petition must be filed by May II
to be heard during the June
court term, which begins June IL.
Judge Snead threw out the
original petition after opposing
attorneys argued that the appli-
cation was filed improperly; it
did not specifically state the po-
sition and specification of the
reservoir dam: it did not indi-
cate the use to be made of the
impounded water, and did not
indicate the necessity for the
reservoir.
Petition Improperly Drawn
Wilbur c. Hall, representing
eight land owners along upper
Goose Greek, told the court that
the petition was drawn improp-
erly in that it had not been filed
80 days before a regular court
term. The hearing yesterday was
set at a special term prior to
the beginning of the June court
session.
John Alexander, representing
Warner Snyder, a property own
er on Goose Creek below the pro-
posed reservoir site, said that
in the petition has the
town stated for what purpose the
dam is to be erected.

Dyke Makes Explanation
He also pointed out that the
application failed to specify the
public necessity for the reservoir
and did not state by whom the
water to be impounded was to be
used.
E. C. Van Dyke, representing
Fairfax. said the town had tried
to avoid the unnecessary expense
of providing detailed engineering
data on the proposed dam and
reservoir.
Fairfax last month voted a
$4.5 million bond issue to con-
struct the Goose Greek reservoir
and to bring water approximately

The joint bond proposal was

issue rejected by voters in Feb

County Board members re-
ceived estimates during the ses-
sion that necessary improve
ments to the County Court
house. including reconstruction
of the present center wing to a
six-story modern building, will
cost about 50 million. This fig
ure would include $166,000 for

So million issue would be $780,

schools; $299 900 for top priority

unanimous backing from Coun-
ty and School Board members
for his proposal that the two
bond issues be Endorsed by joint
resolution of the two boards.

tobacco Crop
Auctions Start
BY J. L. MICHAEL

First offerings of Maryland's
1855 tobacco crop sold at prices
ranging from "a cents a pound
to % cents as auction markets
opened today.
The top price for type 80 leaf
grown in the five southern coun-
ties was about the same as at
first sale on May 3 last year.
Midhle and low grades were sub
stantially higher, however.
Bids on top qualities of bright
crop ranged from II to "a: dull
crop from so to go; second from
SIS to IS, and tips from % to
IS cents a pound. =
On the basis of initial bids by
buyers ror American and over
seas cigarette makers, expert
enced observers predicted that
today's average will be from SO
to SIS cents a pound.
They said, however, that OPEN
ing bids are not certain indi-
Gators of daily or seasonal av-
|erages because buyers and sellers
customarily jockey for advan-
|tage for the first few hours and
sometimes the first few days.
Last year the price average on
opening day was 48.6 cents, but
dropped steadily through the
season until it reached 39.5 cents
for the volume of 81 million
pounds.
Tense farmers listening to the
sing-song chant of auctioneers
