“RUN OUT”
i
"NEW YORK, Nov. 24—(AP)—
“It’s like a guy slaps you in the
face and you can’t do nuttin about
i
That was how a confused Rock
Graziano tried to explain why he
“ran out” on an Oakland, Calif.,
fight with Fred Apostoli.
“Out there (California) they ask
me questions,” he said. “What's
this about the bribe? What’s this
about the army? How come you
can’t fight in your own state?
OAKLAND, Calif, Nov 24
—(AP)—Fight Promoter Jim
my Murray threatened. today
to sue former middleweight
Champion Rocky Graziano for
$50,000, charging breach of
contract for “running out”
on his Dec. 1 fight here with
Fred Apostoli.
The promoter begain re
funding money to the custo
mers after confirming from
Irving Cohen, one of Rocky’s
three managers, that the east
ern fighter wasn’'t coming
back west.,
‘They drive you crazy. It's as if
I'm going to jail. It really hurts,
[you know. It’s like I had a mark
on my face.
“I'm boxing in the gym with a
couple of Salamis. And I have no
feeling. You know what I mean?
‘I don’t care if I throw.a punch or
not. I can’t get myself in shape. 1
just stick out my face and they
smack me.
“When I get away from home
I get moody. Out there, something
in my head says ‘get out of here.’
So I get on a plane and shoot
right back home.
I just want a little more time.
Maybe a couple of menths. I don’t
know. I just don’t feel like fight
ing. I'll just go away to some quiet
place.”
Wants Reinstated
In the next breath, Rocky was
telling how he was going to go to
the New York State Athletic Com
mission and ask to be reinstated.
His license was revoked in 1947
for allegedly failing to report a
bribe attempt.
“If 1 got a license here I'd feel
like a new man,” he said, “this is
my home. I never fought outside
New York except once before my
suspension. When I'm in Madison
Square Garden, I feel like I'm in
my own bedroom.
“Give me some more time to get
straightened out. “1 don’t feel
right. I lost the desire. My next
fight will be for promoter Jimmy
Murray in Qakland. There’s nuttin
wrong with me that a little happi~
ness wouldn’t fix up.”
What did “a little happiness”
mean?
“Gimme my license in New
York,” the Rock czplained.
Hack Wilson,
Former Cub
Great, Dies
CHICAGO, Nov. 24 — (AP) —
The baseball world today missed
its fabulous, rotund bad boy, rol
icking Lewis “Hack” Wilson, who
18 years ago set one Major League
and one National League record
with the Chicago Cubs that .are
unmatched.
The carefree, fun-loving Wilson
died, virtually penniless, in Balti
more, Md., yesterday at the age of
48. Death was due to internal he
morrahages with complications.
In 1930, his best year with the
Cubs, the slugging cutfielder
smashed out 56 home runs. No
National League siugger has ever
equaled that mark. The same year
he drove in 190 runs, over-sha
dowing the 175 record the late Lou
Gehrig of the New York Yankees
established in 1927. That stands
today as a Major League record.
. Wilson spent six of his 10 years
in the majors with the Cubs, 1826
through 1931. Always a Mplayboy,
he gave managers Joe McCarthy
and Rogers Hornsby many a
headache, but as long as he could
swish the bat he was immune to
serious discipline. The 5 foot, 6
inch dynamo had absolutely no re
gard for training rules.
He was one of the major
leagues’ most colorful piayers. He
never took the trouble to look at
his watch after dark. He was al
ways out for a good time, with the
late Perce “Pat” Malone, star Cub
pitcher, as a companion.
+ Fight Reputation
Although a good natured fellow,
nobody could push Wilson around
on the balé field, with violent re
sponse. Hé began building up a
fight ‘reputativ: on July 4, 1929.
During a double header with the
Cincinnati Reds at Wrigley Field,
he dashed off first base without
requesting the umpires to -call
time, and leaped into the Reds’
dugout to punch Ray Kolp, who
had been riding him from the
bench.
Once Wilson jumped into the
box seats at Wrigley Field to at
tend to a wise cracking fan. Hack
gave him a neat pasting and was
sued for $20,000, but a jury decid
ed in his favor.
~ While the Cubs were leaving
Cincinnati late in 1931, Wilson and
‘his buddy, Malone, encountered
two Chicago baseball writers in a
pullman vestibule. One remarked
‘that if he had just seen Mordecai
Brown, a famed Cub pitcher, and
%neither Wilson nor Malone was
‘worthy of carrying Brown’s glove.
An instant later the two writers
hit the floor.
i That incident launched Wilson
'into the end of his fading baseball
career. The late Bill Veek, presi

now wear ribbons on their bloses.
Red, blue and green ribbons are

Manager McCarthy had a habit
of checking up on Wilson by ask
ing him for a match. The book of
matches always was from a night
club. Once Wilson showed up for
batting practice with a terrific
hangover . . . McCarthy was dis
gusted and decided to bench him.
Then he inquired about the tem

“Okay,” McCarthy grunted .. .

And there is much for which we can all be thankful in this great country of ours. . .
Certainly we are thankful for a bountiful harvest of grain and corn, for a high level of
production and employment, for a standard of living that is the envy of the world.
Most of ell, perhaps, we are grateful for our American heritage . . . freedom of opportunity,
freedom of choice, freedom to think and worship according to our own beliefs. ST

a rich club could round up a

“Now if there were six or eight

he ignored was that some 250
“bonus” players were eligible: for

the club which paid thef dough
