SuddIer's Title
Vacated Because
Of Failure to Fiqht

MILWAUKEE,, Jan. is Dr.
The Executive Committee Of the
National Boxing Association to-
day declared Sandy Saddler's
featherweight title vacant be-
cause Of his failureto sign for a
title defense.
Fred SADLY, chairman of the
MIA Rating Committee, said
the action was taken when the
New York boxer failed to meet
q midnight deadline.
1--WE no longer recognize Sad
dler as champion" SADLY said.
%He has been given plenty of
time to sign or be examined by
an MIA doctor or by the New
York Boxing Commission. He
IS not doing the division any
good"
SADLY said a title elimination
series would be set up to find a
successor.
In the latest ratings, Cherif
Hanna, Miguel Berries, Flash
Erode and Carmelo Costa were
listed in that order as logical
contenders.

Purse Committee of the HBPA
issued a statement last night
in which he said Boyle's refusal
to negotiate meant there could
be no winter racing at the West
Virginia track.
Then. Graham announced that
the commissions resolution OF
last week did refer to horsemen
on the ground and If Boyle has
reached an agreement with them
on purses that's all that is
necessary.
Meanwhile, Charles Town, as
OF the moment is preparing to
race January 26.
Manfuso would not say what
steps the HBPA would now take
in its fight with Charles Towns
management, but Manfusc
added, THE association is not
going to let up until the horse

been improved"
He added much remains to be
done enthusiastically before rae

principal change a new. front

plays both center and left wing.
He comes from the Philadelphia
Ramblers. and will be used in

NBA Players
.DeIayDecision
On Unionizatior

BOSTON, Jan. 16 R.-The
player group of the National
Basketball Association has de-
cided to wait three months and
give President Maurice Podoloff' s
alternative try before making
a definite decision about I'M
ionization.
The players attending yester-
days MIA All-Star game met
with officials Of the AFL-CIO
labor union and their lawyers
yesterday, then announced:
There was no definitive ac-
ton as to whether the MIA
players group would affiliate with
any union. The matter, however,
will receive continued considera-
ton.
Relying on President Maurice
Podoloff's promises made to
them just prior to the meeting
that he and the Board of Gov
errors will bargain in good faith
with the player Representatives
on April Is, the players agreed
not to take action in the in
terim."
Podolof suggested differences
be settled within the MIA
family"
. His proposal called for the
selection of a representative
from each team, preferably by
secret ballot. to meet with the
Board of Governors at their an
nual meeting this spring. He
promised that talks between the
two groups would be the first
order of business.
Podoloff also promised to see
what could be done about the
Fort Wayne situation. Owner
Fred Zollner never has recog-
nized player representation and
team members always have
Stunned the players association.
"Zollner wants to 60 to Det-
roit," Podoloff said. The league
will be better in big cities and
I'm sure Mr.. Zollner will want
something from the league"
1t was assumed he meant he
would try to get Zollner to at
tend the proposed player
meeting in consideration for
favorable league action on Zoll-
ner's desire to shift to Detroit.
Bob Cousy of the Boston Gel
tics. leading spokesman for the
players said that among the is
sues they wanted to discuss with
the Board of Governors was a
board OF arbitration, limitation
of exhibition games, and travel
expenses for players traded from
one city to another.

On-Agoin, Off-Agoin Races
On Again at Charles Town

CHARLES TOWN, w. Va,
Jan. 16 (R.-It looks as though
Charles Town race track will
hold a winter meeting, January
26 to February Is. after all.
That was the indication last
night after Chairman Roy v.
Graham of the West Virginia
Racing Commission took the side
Iof Albert j. Boyle, head of the
Charles Town Turf Club, in his
long standing fight against the
Horsemen's Benevolent and Pro-
Itective Association.
The association has opposed
Charles Town racing because II
says the track has not distrib-
uted purses required by West
Virginia law. The law says purses
must total 4 per cent of the pari-
mutuel handle.
Last week, the racing commits
sion agreed 10 waive the 4 per
cent rule and said Charles Town
could hold a winter meeting pro-
vided Boyle could come to an
agreement on purses with the
horsemen.
The HBPA interpreted "horse-
men" to mean its association
which 1t claims represents 90
per cent Of the horse owners in
the country.
But Boyle took exception to
this Interpretation and refused
to negotiate with the HBPA
He said the racing commission
meant horsemen already stabbed
on the grounds, that it could moi
have meant the HBPA because
that would have meant the CON-
mission was interfering in the
internal management of the
track.

GLYNDON, Md. Jan. 16 (R.-
Two thoroughbred race horses,
Sea Island and Gullible, were
among 10 head of livestock de-
stroyed in fire which leveled a
barn on the farm of Charles w.
Williams early today.
Firemen from five commune

crew clearing roads. The brick
and timber barn was a mass of
flames when the first firemen
arrived.
Both horses had run on Mary
land half-mile tracks and were
winners the past season. Gull
lible, a 7-year-old, was owned by
Mrs Williams. Sea Island, a

Cousy-Johnston Team
Is 7 90 Much for West

BOSTON, Jan. Is (R.-Play-
maker Bob Cousy and shotmaster
Neil Johnston make such an I'M
beatable combination that oppos-
ing National Basketball Associa-
ton players are grateful they
aren't teamed regularly.
The fabulous pair made the
difference last night in carrying
the East to a 109-97 triumph over
the West in the seventh annual
All-Star game at Boston Garden.
Cousy. the 6-foot-l Boston
iCeltics' backcourt ace, won the
games most valuable player
award for the second time. He
has appeared in each Of the ALL
Star shows to date and previously
was named MVP in 1854.
Besides his 10 points, Cousy
contributed amazing passes and
fired a quick breaking attack
which eventually wore down the
ltall westerns.
Johnston. 6-foot-8 center from
the Philadelphia Warriors, tossed
in 10 points when they really
were needed.
Click in Third Period
The combination was devas-
Eating in the third period when
the East rallied from a two-point
deficit to 1896 lead it never
surrendered. Johnston collected
is Of his 10 points during that
period with Cousy setting him
up brilliantly with his pinpoint
passing.
Moments after the second half
began, Cousy sent a pass into
Johnston under the boards
which caught the defense nap
ping and allowed Neil to lay in
the two points which sent the
East in front for good at 1913.
The pair got together for five
more baskets before the quar-
ter ended.
In all. Cousy grabbed five re-
bounds and received seven as
sists.
Johnston connected on eight
of IL field goal attempts and hit
on each of his three free throw

chances while fielding nine re-
bounds. Johnston gave the East
the blackboard work it needed in
the second period.
Bob Petit of st. Louis and
Maurice Stokes of Rochester did
Iyeoman work for the West. Pet
tit scored 81 points while Stokes
hit for 10 and topped rebounders
with IL. They just didn't have
enough help.
Sharman Provides Thrill
For the l1,l78 fans who
braved bitter near-zero weather
to watch the classic, the high
light might well have been a
lfluke goal by Boston's Bill
ISharman termed by one press
box observer "the longest mis-
take since Wrong Way Cor
rigan."
Sharman let loose a one
handed lead pass toward Cousy
lat the opposite end of the court
but overshot his mark. The ball
banged of the blackboard and
through the hoop for a 70-foot
field goal-longest in Garden
history.
In the preliminary game the
East defeated the West. 1898. in
the Old-Timers contest. Bones

Caps and Celtics ace now as

the winners with 10 points.
