WE CAN HELP

80 .a. @4
THE WELTERWEIGHT championship fight which
Emile Griffith won last Saturday night, and in which Benny
kid Peret was seriously injured is creating tremendous at
tention in New York. The radio and television stations, and
some newspapers are treating the matter in screaming head
lines. Unfortunately, much of this publicity is critical Of the
fight, and Of the new champion. Said one television common
tator, aPeret lies in a hospital in critical condition from the
beating inflicted by Emile Griffith" And similar statements
keep coming from the reporters, and the like.
WHAT IS UNFORTUNATE about the whole thing is
the questionable light in which the victor is cast, Treating the
news in this manner tends to leave the impression that one
man set upon another and beat him, 50 that the poor defense
less victim is now in critical condition. That is disturbing.
NOBODY WANTED the fight to turn out this way
Even those who wanted Griffith to win did not want to know
that the loser would be at the point Of death. Nothing Of the
sort, and what is more, everybody, regardless Of which side
he is on, prays for the recovery of Peret.
NUMBER of fundamental points are being overlooked
in this matter. This was a championship fight in which the
margin of victoryis sought to be clearcut. That is the reason
for waving the mandatory three knockdowns per round; that
isl the reason why referees hesitate to stop a fight unless they
are reasonably convinced that going further would be futile.
Then. too, in this particular case, the former champion was
known to possess exceptional recuperative powers. Many
have been the fights in which he has seemed to be in trouble
only to bounce off the ropes and come back to give a good
account Of himself. Finally, the whole thing happened 50
quickly that even referee Of the stature of Rubie Coldstein
was taken by surprise.
AN INVESTIGATION has been launched at Governor
RockefelIers command, and the District Attorneys office is
looking Into the matter, more or less on a routine basis Should
Peret die, then formal charges may be filed, and the matter
go before the gropd Jury.
WHAT IS important to US as Virgin Islanders IS that or
champion should be caught in such a situation, one which

The posted price of residual oil in cargo lots
per barrel in Boston Harbor was $243 per barrel
in 1858 Immediately prior to controls) and $226
per barrel on March 21, 1862, after 95 months of
import controls.
Excessive oil imports have caused signifi-
cant decline in exploration and drilling for domes
tic crude oil.
Imported residual has increased from the
equivalent of As million tons of competing U. S.
coal to 55 million tons in four years. These exces
sive imports have decreased production and en-
ployment in the coal industry, have reduced rail-
road revenue from coal transportation and are
forcing a decline in rolling stock available for
transporting of coal.

For six years there has been no increase in

an average of about $4,000 barrels per day an

WX LOSE OR DRAW
This, Then, Is the End of the Topers
BY FRANCIS STANN

WELL, THAT WAS A QUICK and ex-
penSlve plunge into pro roundball for Harry
Lynn In three months, counting pre-sea-
son training, the Washington Tapers blew
cool $4,000. 1t wasn't all Lynn's money
out ne was bruised enough to realize that
Washington isn't precisely red-hot bas-
ketball town.
I've had 1t as a clubowner," Lynn was
saying today. From now on I'll rent the
Coliseum and stay out of playing acting
owner. You know, the Tapers are the first
project I've ever started that I couldn't fin
ish"
The Tapers have been moved to Com
mack, N. Y, at the will of Paul Cohen This
is the rotund stranger who joined Lynn and
some II local stockholders at the beginning
of the campaign. Cohen brought fresh
scratch but stipulation: He had to be
coach, or at least one of triumvirate of
coaches.
The other two-Stan Stutz and Mario
Parri-were his buddies. 1t was one of the
strangest coaching set-ups in the annals of
sports, and one of the most abortive. The
Tapers didn't win, nor did they draw.
***
Il HAD NO ALTERNATIVE but to say
goodbye to the team and the coaches" Lynn
says. 1T was prepoSterouSly expensive. Even
II we had averaged 5000 customers game
for the rest of the seaSon-and that would
have been three times what we'd been aver
aging-wed have been wiped out to the
tune of $16OOOO"
Lynn doesn't think that pro basketball
would have gone over in Washington even if
the Tapers had won and even if there was a
saner, less involved coaching set-up. 1--WE
had hard core of FANS" he reports There
were 500, 900 of them; they'd come out Just
to watch good basketball
But the only decent gate we drew was
opening night against Chicago. That was
$8,lO9. We won the game but we lost Gus
toners when all that condensation from the
ice rink under the floor made it so slippery
that it was traveSty in the second half.
Our lowest take for a game was $3O5. You
can't meet payroll with that kind OF box
office action"
The TaperS' payroll was $4,000 for this
season. Lynn had the payroll figure of the
old Washington Caps on his desk. 1t was
$4,000. That was in 1851, only decade
ago.
HERES THE WAY I figured it when
we started operations" Harry went on. I
thought we'd lose $4,000 to 100000 a sea-
son for the first two, perhaps three years.
And that was all right. felt that after
these first couple of years we'd begin to
make little money.
I'm not a basketball man, everybody
knows it. But when bought Uline Arena
and renamed it the Coliseum also had &C
cess to the old Caps figures That's how 1
know about their payroll. I noticed, too,
that Mike Uline didn't spend much on pro-
motion and that he lost his good coach,
Red Auerbach, over a very small raise in
salary.
Evening star., 1962-01-03

Il wonder" Harry mused, 'if pro bas-
ketball could have been saved in Wash
1ngton If Mike had kept, Auerbach here
although that is beside the point What is
pertinent is that no matter how much I
spend on advertising'it it didn't seem to help
very much
"One week told Charlie Brotman, nv
assistant, to really paper the house for
game. Charlie gave free tickets by the
thousands all person needed was to
pay the tax. Hardly anybody used them.
The Coliseum was more than half empty.
When people won't show up for nothing
you're in trouble"
BECAUSE HE is NOT a basketball
butf-or even the old athletic type for that
matter-Lynn refuses to be drawn into any
discussion that is critical of the Cohen
Stutz-Perri coaching system.
i can't say that felt it was the best"
Lynn says. I'VE had the players they
certainly were well paid, anyway. Auerbach
came by one day and said he thought the
Tapers could win. But as I said earlier. I
had no alternative but to agree to move the
franchise to Commack, N. Y. That's what
Cohen wanted; that's what Cohen got"
Some of the Tapers-and one thing that
might have been wrong was to change the
teams name from the Caps in the interests
OF mmerc1allsm-havent begun to play up
to their salaries. Gene Conley, the Red Sox
pitcher and ex-Celtic, is one. Gene had
the poor taste to bust hand on the Jaw of
Fred Sawyer in Hawaii.
Conley wasn't in roundban shape when
ne reported-the morning of the first game
- and ne wasn't when he was rendered
horS de combat When Gene finally rounds
into shape it may be for the baseball sea-
son.
1--WE TRADED TONY JACKSON and
Chuck Curtis to the Chicago Majors cou-
pie OF days ago" Lynn said. 1--WE got Ron
Eager IN exchange say we because
even though the team is now the Commack.
N. Y, Tapers have financial interest
Jackson and Curtis were making pretty
good money, but they weren't delivering"
why didn't you announce the trade?"
Lynn was asked
Il just didn't feel that anybody in
washington was interested" Harry replied,
as simply as that
rs there any hope for pro basketball
to go over in Washington?" he was pressed.
AFTER all, the old Palace A. C. in the orig
lnal American Basketball League folded.
Then the Caps in the National Basketball
Association and now the Tapers."
If some Washingtonian with a great
deal OF civic pride, love of the game and
more money than I'll ever see, organizes
a team" Lynn said, "pro basketball will
come back. But he's not going to get off
with less than a loss of half to three-quar-
tiers, OF million dollars -. year.
II haven't got that money, nor the
dedication. But if such person appears,
I've got Coliseum I'll be happy to rent"

(AP).-The brief furry of holi-

week end failed to alter the in

Art Heyman of Duke and Len

Heyman, the 6-5 Duke Junior

Forest last Saturday night. He
now is averaging 27.9 points a

Chappell, who outscored Hey-
man in their first duel, 1888,
boosted his average to 1854.
The next closest challenger
is South Carolina's Art Whis-
nant, who is averaging 21.3.
Sophomore Jeff Mullins of
Duke, 1873; Jon Speaks of N. C.
State 1877; and Tony Laquin-
tano of Virginia 1876, trailed in
close order.
