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.

This will be in effect 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 into the fistic picture, it had to fjnd S0H1C vvay of meet i n g this demand.

II. C. showed its fairness in that respect by appointing a man of color to what is perhaps the most pivotal post in the organization. It install¬ ed Truman Kolia Gibson, Jr., Chi¬ cago attorney and former assistant to the Secretary of War, as secre¬ tary. That move proved a wise one. Thereafter, Gibson, Norris, and his partner, Arthur Wirtz, pooled their business talents to form the cleverest triumvirate the boxing game has ever known. It iS common talk that “Norris” money (he and Wirtz are million- a j xe s) and Gibson’s brains make ^ j jj tick.” Yes, monopoly or not, the l.B.C. has made a profound impression on boxing and if it is dissolved, it is easy to visualize boxing going through a difficult cycle until another big name emerges.

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 NATURAL GAS FAMILIES ENJOY PENNY - A - MEAL LOOKING WHILE HEATING — AND SAVING — WITH NATURAL GAS SEE TOVIt NATURAL GAS APPLIANCE DEALER omPAnY Cement Products Co.
