WIN, LOSE OR DRAW
Aheorn TO Nieder:: Turn RossIer'
By FRANCIS STANN

Redskin - forget his name - who had a
fight with Powell on the football field.
Nov that would have been all right.
Just two guys who know how to play foot
ball but don't know anything about fighting.
But George Marshall wouldn't let his guy
take the match"
LASSMAN DIDN'T GET very far In the
ring, nor did Shires, the self-styled What
taman OF yeSteryear. In Arts case, he was
just making big noise. Unlike Nieder
and Powell, he wasn't trying to earn living.
Nor was Trafton, whose only idea was to
pick up some extra change.
Trafton Of the Bears and Shires, first
baseman for the White Sox, were two of
Chicago's most colorful sports figures during
an era in which the Windy City was richly
endowed. ShireS started the ball rolling one
day in 1929 when he took to the ring and
stopped one Mysterious Dan" Daily in IA
seconds elapsed time.
Trafton was celebrating at a party
when he heard the news Of Shires' great ac-
complishment. II could lick him with one
hand" Trafton snorted. The other Bears,
led by Red Oranges kid brother Gardie,
egged on their teammate and Promoter
Jim Mullen made the match.
1t was a comic fight but 1t drew 5000
spectators and $4,000. Two thousand other
curious people were turned away Shires,
outweighed 1917 to 218, went down twice
in the first round and was saved by the
bell. Somehow it went the full five rounds,
probably because neither man could muster
the strength nor will to catch up with the
other. While Trafton got the decision, it
generally was agreed that neither could
fight and this was proved a year later when
George tried second time. Primo Carnera
knocked him out in the first round
"A FELLOW IN TOWN was interested
in this shotput guy" Ahearn disclosed. HE
wanted me to go with him to Philadelphia
to look Nieder over couldn't make it and
it looks like didn't miss nothing. He could
use new manager, though, guess. The
one he's got, putting him in with an ex-
perienced fighter, amt too smart"
Jersey Joe Walcott, the ex-champ,
trained Nieder. "Walcott told me the guy
worked in the gymnasium for two months
All got to say is that If he amt ready for
a fight in two months he amt going to be
ready IN two years."
Goldie offered piece of advice for
Nieder, based on long experience in boxing
He better turn rassler."

WELL, THAT WAS A RACY boxing
debut for Bill Nieder, the olympic shotput
champion. Two minutes and small change
after the bell, Nieder was counted out. He
wasn't even in the ring, but sprawled in
the crowd.
1t wasn't as If Nieder was making his
bow against any kind of a fighter. Very
few except the neighbors on his block ever
heard Of Jim Wiley, who had only an 1876
record. He had Soft Touch written all over
him.
Our Goldie Ahearn, however, doesn't
read it that way. Maybe this guy is
bum," Ahearn conceded, "but he is an old
bum. I mean, he's got 26 fights, maybe
got none. He don't know how to snap
punch, he don't know the moves"
AS longtime promoter, Ahearn ad-
mits to no leaning toward amateurs, espe-
cially one who wasn't even an amateur in
the ring but at putting 16-pound shot.
I'm always nervous when use an amateur
on a professional show" Goldie said. II

other amateurs making their first pro

dangerous in the first round. They feint,

1T IS AHEARN'S NOTION that Nieder
and others like him start boxing too late in
life. "You can't take up fighting at %

start when he's kid. When was IA, Is
years old I was always hanging around
gym. All guys who go anywhere in pro
fighting start as kids" Goldie once billed
himself as featherweight champion of
Dixie.
Nieder's abrupt debut calls up a few
others who took filings at boxing. The
Olympian's most recent predecessor was
Charley Powell, big, fast end Of the San
Francisco Forty Miners. Earlier there were
Art Shires, the ball player; AL Lassman,
very good football player at New York Uni
versity, and George Trafton, star center of
the Chicago Bears.
"Ex-football players never make fight
ers," Goldie pointed out, referring to
Powell, Lassman and Trafton. "In tell you,
I once offered Powell $1,000 to fight pre-

3-Gan1e Bulge

To Second Place
As Dodgers Skid
BY the Associated Press

It was a long time coming,
but Jack Sanford finally has
shown the kind of pitching he
was expected to produce as one
of the accepted aces Of the San
Francisco Giants staff. And
for Manager AL Dark. it must
be something like finding for
gotten five spot in an old pair
of pants.
The Giants have been getting
along right well without much
help from Sanford. but with
the righthanded veteran COM
ing through for a six-hit. 81
victory over the Chicago Cubs
last night, they now have a
three-game lead-their biggest
bulge yet-in the National
League race.
While Sanford was putting
away his first complete game
and second victory in six starts.
the Los Angeles Dodgers
skidded from second to fourth
with a So defeat by Milwaukee,
Pittsburgh jumped into second
by beating st. Louis, 2-l, and
Cincinnati moved into third
with a AZ victory at Philadel-
phia. The Pirates. Reds and
Dodgers are all three games
back of the Giants.
Boiling Hits Homer
Sanford (2-3) who had failed
to last two innings in either of
his last two starts, walked none
and struck out five, blanking
the Cubs on three hits after
the third inning, when they
scored on a triple by Dick
Bertell and a two-out single by
Don thinner. Orlando Cepeda,
with three of the Giants hits
off loser Dick Drott ODD and
Don ElSton. tied it with single
in the fourth, then singled and
scored the winning run on
Hobie Landrith'S single in the

The Braves beat Dodger
southpaw Sandy Koufax (3-0
with the big blow a three-run
homer by Frank Boiling that
made it SO in the fourth
inning. Don Nottebart (2-2)
and reliever Moe Drabowsky
held the Dodgers to four hits.
Nottebart had a one-hit shut
out until the sixth, when Los
Angeles scored three runs, two
on a homer by Willie Davis.

speaking of the Washington
pitching.

Amazing" and incredible"

their team to four straight vic

They move into Baltimore to-
morrow night for a three-game

in his previous start, had a no.

his 10th Of the season to spoil
the no-hitter and shutout at

The Detroit Tigers are riding
a four-game lead in the Ameri-
can League and If it can be
attributed to any one factor,
it has to be clutch-hitting.
When q Tiger reaches base
it's almost an even bet that
he'll come around to score.
In 81 games Detroit has
scored 1877 runs or 6.3 per con-
test. The number of runners
stranded during a span of %
victories and nine losses totals
227, or only 7.3 per game.
From top to bottom the eight
regulars have been tough to
retire with runners in scoring
position. The RBI totals of all
eight are in double figures,
ranging from the II of Short
stop Chico Fernandez to the
% of First Baseman Norm
Cash.
Cash, COlavitO Homer
Cash and Rocky Colavito hit
two-run homers last night as
the Tigers whipped the Balti-
more Orioles, 1914, leaving only
six men on base.
The victory, coupled with
the Senator'S 80 conquest of
New York, opened the Tigers
margin over the second-place
Yankees to four games. The
Chicago White Sox ended Min
nesota'S win streak at four
games, beating the Twins, 5-4;
Boston broke loose, finally, for
Is hits and an 81 decision over
Cleveland, and Kansas City
clipped the Los Angeles Angels,
Ga.
Frank Larry became the first
major Lacquer to chalk up a
sixth victory-the Tooth Of his
career-by pitching a six-hitter,
walking only one and striking
out five Orioles as the Tigers
were producing 10 runs for the
second night in a row at Balti-
more. Steve Barber (4-3 was
the loser.
Wynn Nails No. 288
