At The Ringside
By Charles J. Livingston fur ANP
A RINGSIDE VIEW OF
THE l.B.C. I
For the past eight years, sports
fans throughout the world have
been reading and hearing about
James Dugan Norris and his In-:
ternational Boxing Club, the
sprawling promotional combinoy
whieh according to its critics, mo- j
nopolize the first fight industry by
singlehandedly serving the needs
of a fight-crazed public. I
|
Yet it is doubted if many know
the true nature of the organiza-
tion, its actual position in boxing,
and the type of men who run it.
Except, for the fighters, managers,
co-operating promoters, writers
a art others closely allied to box-
ipg. the fight public gets only an
occasional glimpse into the opera-
tlon of the l.B.C.
Yet from a public standpoint,
fuller knowledge of the 1. B. C. is
essential particularly in the light
of recent developments. For
this is written, the 1. B. C. faces
federal action for “attempting to
monopolize championship bouts in
Violation of anti-trust laws.” Such
Was the finding of Judge Syl
vester J. Ryan, who is presently
Conducting a bearing to determine
What to do about the I. B. C.
, The government is claiming that
the I. B. C., through its ownership
and control of the major boxing
arenas in the nation, control over
tiie top fighters, and television and
radio contracts, prevents free com¬
petition in the promotion of box¬
ing bouts und tints is guilty of
violation of the anti-trust law.
This law says broadly, “live and
let live.” However, in itij evalua¬
tion, the government seemingly
overlooked one factor: Boxing, by
Its very nature attracted a lively
field of investors. There is too
much risk involved, and small in¬
dependent promoters and others
unskilled in the intricacies of
fight-making usually want no part
of it. Even Jack Dempsey, the
former heavyweight champion, re¬
fused to promote, saying that only
a man like Jim Norris with plenty
of dough to spread out can succeed
at it. Dempsey is right. ITomoting
boxing is very risky and expensive
business.
In fact the I. 15. C. came into
being because it took the calculated
risk and had the money to spread
out. This coupled with plenty ol
knowhow, helped the I. B. C. to

iucecv,sfully fill the void created
by the retirement of Mike Jacobs
in 1049. Even now the I. B. C.
is the only promotional until cap-
able of meeting the demands of j
television sponsors for weekly box-
ing shows. The sponsors have long
rejected the occasional promoter
who can give no assurance of de-
livcring such bouts,
Television financing is today the
best way. of subsidizing boxing,
which has proved the answer to
the fan who stays at home to
watch the fight. The sponsor,
meanwhile, will foot the bill for
the TV ringside tickets, because
he knows he can get his sales
message across to a nationwide
audience. But he must be guaran-
teed in advance that the shows
will be presented on schedule,
So when the I. B. C. stepped

BIG AL PINKSTON BURNING ’EM
UP IN TEXAS LEAGUE
Recently many local ball fans have been asking the question (
What’s become of big A1 “Pinkie” Pinkston, who as a member of)
the Savannah Indians team three years ago copped practically all j
the slugging laurels in the Sally League.
Don’t worry about him, he’s doing great for himself in the ,
Western (A) League as a member of the Amarilla team, and is |
still hogging the lime-light at hat. !
As a verification of the statement that the 6-foot-5 220 poun¬
der is continuing his spectacular hitting we quote the following
which appeared last week in The Sporting News, recognized- a c
authority in baseball matters:
Perfect Park for Pinkston
AMARILLO, Tex.—Amarillo Gold Sox Outfielder A1 Piuk-
slc'n loves his new home, Potter Countv Stadium. In the
first ten games played in the new stadium, Pinkston had
21 hits in 40 at-bats for a sizzling .525 average and he had
driven in 14 runs.
He had hit three homers, three triples and three doubles
here. Pinkston socked the first home run in the park, May
5, to win a game and he also smashed the first home run
over the right field wall, May 13.
The big fi-foot, 5-inch outfielder has been hitting the ball
very well for the Sox in the first 15 games, boasting a .4C4
season average un through May 13.
An amazing thing about Pinkston, who is a power-hitter
and a free swinger, he hadn't struck out in his first 56
official times at bat.
And in case you want to know about Elio Chacon, shortstop,
ind Dan Morejon, outfielder, who played with the Savannah Rcd-
legs last Reason, Sporting News reports the manager of the Ha¬
vana Cubans, of the International (AAi league with whom Elio
and Dan are playing this year, as saying: ,
“In addition to Morejon. a speedy, hard hitting outfielder,
another rockie who ha ; been a pleasant surprise is Shortstop Elie
'(hacon. who has sparkled both afield and at bat.”
Sporting News also reports that Willie Powell, a pitcher with
'he Redlegs last year, is with Nuevo Laredo of the Mexican fAAi
