Probe
Senate Group
Ends Hearings
Until Autumn
By LEWIS F. ATCHISON
Star STAFF Writer

Irving Mishel, alleged former
underworld banker now serving
term in prison, today told the
Senate Antitrust and Monopoly
Subcommittee that he had been
threatened with bodily harm if
he answered questions on
boxing.
The committee, which has
closed its investigation of the
underworld's hold on the fight
game until fall, yesterday heard
Jake LaMotta, former middle
weight champion, confess to
throwing a bout with Billy Fox
in New York in 1947. 1t hoped
to learn more today about the
shady doings limited at by La
Motta. including the route of
$4,000 the fighter said he paid
to get a crack at the middle
weight title then owned by
Marcel Cerdan.
But Mishel, after telling of
the threat which he said was
delivered in prison less than
month ago-on May 20 or 21-
took refuge behind the Fifth
Amendment.
No Legal Right
Senator Hart, Democrat of
Michigan, told Mishel that he
had no legal right to refuse
to testify because of fear of
reprisals. But Mishel, who is
serving a 1O-to-2O-year term in
Clinton State Prison in Dan
nemora, N. Y, on conviction
of grand larceny, refused to
talk, even when it was Sug-
gested special protection could
be provided.
The committee also called
Ugo Antonucci. an accountant,
and Frank Marrone, a New
York City detective. to the
stand.
Antonucci, who has handled
tax reports for such athletes
as Yogi Berra, Whitley Ford
and Elston Howard of the
Yankees and in the past for
such boxing figures as Rocky
Graziano and LaMotta, denied
knowing anything about any
thing.
The committee was particu-
Iarly interested in the afore-
mentioned $4,000 and $780,

By the Associated Press

The Pirates have a tWo-game
lead after getting past San
Francisco in the opener of a
three-game series, but right
handler Larry Jackson and the
surging Cardinals are trying
to steal the spotlight in the Ma
tional League race.
Four unearned runs gave the
Pirates a 6-3 decision over the
second-place Giants in San
Francisco last night, while the
Cardinals backed jackson with
home runs for his eighth
straight victory in a 6-3 de-
cislon over Cincinnati.
1t gave Jackson (9-5) a tie
with Pittsburgh's Vern Law as
the majors top-winning pitcher
and moved the Cards past the
Reds into fourth place.
The Cubs defeated third
place Milwaukee, 80, behind
a two-hit pitching job by

feated Los Angeles, 6-5 in IL
innings.

Jackson, 90, a winner against
every club but Los Angeles,

Boyer's shot, with a man on
in the first inning, was his
18th, keeping him in a tie
with Ernie Banks of the Cubs
for the league lead. Flood
tagged his first of the sea-

going out with another per-

On the other hand, If he
does not care about you or
his wife, I am afraid there
is nothing that you, as a
teen-ager, can do except to
beg him to be a decent father
and husband.
Parents who cheat on their
