beat the Giants, 80. in the

LOS ANGELES. June 4 AP)
One Of the key witnesses in
a recent investigation Of UNDER
world influence In California
boxing was severely beaten by
unknown assailants last night.
Two men attacked Jackie
Leonard, fight promoter Of
Hollywood Legion Stadium, as
he was putting away his auto
mobile after q short trip to a
neighborhood drugstore in
Northridge. a Los Angeles
suburb.
Leonard suffered a severe
head wound. Police said he APP
parently was struck with a
gallon jug containing chlorine
for his swimming pool. But
Leonard's wife said a hammer
also was out Of place In the
garage.
Under Police Guard
The promoter has been
under daily police guard since
he told a special hearing by the
California Athletic Commission
that he had been threatened
by Frank Carlo. Carlo now
is out on bail after his arrest
last week in New Jersey on an
indictment by a New York
grand jury charging him as
acting as an undercover boxing
manager and matchmaker.
Leonard testified that Frank
(Blinky) Palermo Of Philadel-
phia, an associate Of Carlo,
demanded half the managers
share Of Don Jordan, the well
terweight champion.

quoted Palermo as saying while
negotiations were in progress

Police had escorted Leonard
home late yesterday, but he de-
cided later to go to q drugstore
for a newspaper.
Found BY Wife
Some time later his wife,
Jeanne, went to the back yard
to turn on the sprinkler, heard
groans and found her husband
unconscious on the garage floor.
Leonard was rushed to q hos
pital. where he told police two
men had assaulted him. Police
Inspector Henry Kerr said his
investigation hadn't uncovered
anything to suggest that "this
was anything other than q re-

Brown Gives
Rosi Credit for
Smart Fight
Eye Cuts Halt
Italians Bid for
Lightweight Title
BY GEORGE HUBER

Joe Brown, still the light
weight champion, admits that
his seventh successful defense
might not have been one OF
my best" but he quickly adds
his opponent fought q good,
smart Tight"
This was after Old Bones
held onto his 135-pound title
last night at Uline Arena with
q technical knockout over Paolo
Rosi. A badly bleeding. blind
ing cash over Rosi's left eye
was the cause. The doctors
wouldn't let Rosi come out for
the ninth round.
It wasn't one Of the historic
championship fights. but 1t was
good enough, and Rosi. the No.
3 contender, was giving o fair
account Of himself. Some In
the crowd Of 1898 at the
arena. who paid q gross gate
OF $28. 769 90. clapped for q bit
more action here and there,
but most Of the time the boys
were banging away willingly.
Charges Butting
A bitterly disappointed Rosi
claimed 1t was q butt that
caused the damage. Brown said
It was q good. sharp right that
did 1t. and countered the
butting charge by pointing to
Q lump on his own head and
saying. do you think q punch
did that?"
Just how even q fight 1t was
is shown by the scorecards.

Rosi ahead. 1911: Judge Harry

had it even at 75-75. The Stars

How To Buy Meat
BY LYDIA PERKINS

Nothing terrifes. the inexperi-
enced housewife more than Sc
Letting meats. If you know moth
ing about purchasing meat, a
good butcher is your best friend
and instructor. Don't pretend to
know, when you don't know. Tell
the butcher what you have in
mind and take his advice.
If YOU shop where meat is pre-
packaged, these basic facts may
help you: Animals dressed for
market are divided lengthwise
through the backbone into two
parts, each called a "side." Each
side is again divided in two parts,
the forequarter and hindquarter.
Each quarter is divided into
smaller cuts which are sold in
the retail market.
Price is based on tenderness,
grain of the meat, general APP
pearance and convenience for
cooking. Cheapest cuts are
shanks, plates and chuck. Many
good cook books have charts
showing the names of retail cuts
and how they should be cooked.
Look them over and familiarize
yourself with them.
Meat shrinks from "a to y in
cooking. Therefore allow u
pound Of meat without bone for
each serving, and y pound of
meat consisting of lean, fat and
bone, as q minimum for each
serving.
COOKING TIP: For delicious
hamburgers, season chopped
chuck with Lea ~ Perrins Wor-
