Lee Savold,
E. Charles
Liked By Joe
NEW YORK, Jan. 13—(AP)—
Joe Louis wants to defend his
heavyweight boxing champion
ship next June against the winner
of a fight between Ezzard Charles
and Lee Savoid.
This was disclosed last night by
Chairman Edward Eagan of the
New York State Athletic Commis -
sion, who said the brown bomber
had assured him he will fight on
more time. ¢
Eagan injected this semi-of
ficial announcement of the cham
pion’s plans into the after-dinner
informalities of the New York
boxing writers’ annual function.
The writers met for the princi
pal purpose of honoring Tke Will
iams, the busy lightweight cham
pion from Trenton, N. J., and Dan
Morgan, 75-year-old veteran fight
manager.
Ike Receives Reward
Williams received the Edward
J. Neil Memorial award as the
man who did the most for boxing
in 1948. The award was set up in
memory oi the former Associated
Press boxing writer and war cor
respondent who was killed during
the Spanish Civil War.
‘Williams defended his title
three times during the past year
and fought ten times. He also re
ceived a special ring magazine
medal as “boxer of the year.”
© Morgan was given the James
J. Walker award for long and
meritorious service to the sport.
Eagan said he had talked by
telephone with Louis, in Topeka,
Kansas.
“1 asked Joe if he planned to
fight again,” Eagan related. “He
said, yes; he did, He said he would
fight in June and there were two
possibilities as foes—Ezzard Char
les and Lee Savold. He said he'd
defend his crown against the win
ner.”
Charles, the Cincinnati sniper
who has been fighting in the
lightheavy class, and Savold, the
Paterson, N. J., heavy who is in
England, haven't been matched.

"Y"” Preps, Cubs Win
From Lawrenceville
Sending their victory tota! zooming to six wins against
only two defeats the Athens Y. M. C. A, Preps whipped a
Lawrenceville school team, 18 to 14, here last night,
while the local “Y” Cubs took their season’s opener from
another Lawrenceville team by the count of 30 to 29.
Both of the thrillers in the “Y”
gym were played before a large
crowd of spectators. The Prep
game was close the entire way
and two overtime periods were
ne~~=sa»v in the Cub tilt.
The Preps took a 4 to 0 lead at
the end of the first quarter, then
kept the four point margin
throughout the game, but it was
necessary for the starters to play
the entire game to win. Athens
lead 8 to 4 at halftime and 14 to
10 at the end of the third quarter.
Playing a nice brand of all
round was Bobby Duncan from
his forward position. He was out
standing on offense and defense
and hit the hoops for six points,
Winston Wiggins handled the ball
well and scored two tallies. He is
one of the most improved ball
handlers on the team. .
Marbut, Jones Standout
On the defense for the home
lings Bobby Marbut and Larry
Jones couldn’t be stopped. Besides
starring on defense Marbut feed
the ball to teammates with pre
cision accuracy and Jones was an
offensive star as well as defen
sive ace. He hit the basket for six
points. Allan Barber, muchly im
proved center, was a standout in
his backboard action and also
scored four tallies.
For the losers the stars of the
night were Forwards Bagwell and
Fortune, who hit for five and four
points, respectively.
Main cogs in bringing home the
bacon for the Cubs were Tommy
Carteaux and Billy Slaughter,
both starting forwards who scor
ed 11 and 10 points, respectively.
Helping them plenyt under the
backboard was Center Bobby
Towns, who also sank four points.
Alston Steiner was hustling on
defense and handled the ball nice
'ly while on offense. Tommy
Blakely, fighting the whole way,
,rounded the starting aggregation
‘that put the Cubs into the lead
‘then retired to the bench in favor
?')f subs, but were called back to
take the game out of the fire in
the overtime periods.
Score 14 Points
The scoring star of the battle
was Guard Kirby, who hit the
loops for 14 points. He scored all
of his points on field goals in the
last half. Forwards Corbin and
Dwayne tied for second place
scoring honors on the Lawrence
ville team with six poinst each.
Athens lead 15 to 2 at the end
of the first quarter and were
ahead 18 to 6 at halftime, then
Lawrenceville came to fire and
the score at the end of the third
quarter was 23 to 16 in favor of
Athens, but at the end of the last
quarter the score was tied 25 to
25. One overtime period brought
the tie to 29-29 then another over
time period decided the game.

Fitzsimmons and the New York
Giants stiff fines for negotiating
a 1949 contract while the former
‘Boston Braves coach was still a
‘member of the Beantown Club.
) Baseball Commissioner A. B.
Chandler yesterday fined the
}‘Giants manager, Fitzsimmons and
'the National League club for vio
lating the tempering rule. Chan
dler also warned tho more severe
penalties are in store for anyone
who does it again.

were assessed SSOO each and the
| Giants, $2,000. :
According to the rules, a player
or coach must have the written
consent of his ¢club before he may

Only because Fitzsimmons has
had “long and henorable service
in baseball,” was he spared being
banned for the 1949 season,
Chandler said:
It was the second time Chand
ler has chastised the former
Brooklyn Dodgers manager. In
1947 Durocher was suspended as
pilot of the Flatbush team.
Leo was set down then for mak
ing.stateSments ‘and being involv
ed in incidents Chandler describ
ed as ‘“detrimental to baseball.”
In yesterday’s action, Fitzsim
mons also was suspended for the
30-day. period from March 1 to

A merger of the National Foot

ing for three years.
. The National- League has been
’reported willing to absorb the
AAC’s two biggest money makers,
Cleveland and San Francisco,
and run a two-division, 12-team
league.
Yesterday the Washington Red
skin management said it was
waiting overtures from the Colts
to get in on the deal. The Red
skins belong to the National
League, the Colts to the AAC.
Not ‘Approached
George Marshall, Redskins
owner, was quoted in Washington
as saying “nobody from Baltimore
has ever approached me on the
subject.” The New York Daily
Mirror quoted him as saying he
would welcome Baltimore into a
proposed merger if the Colts “pay
us one half of what I think our
franchise is worth.”
Marshall said he believed this
was fair because the Colts are
“within the territorial rights of
Washington, one of the best fran
chises in pro football.”
But the Colts management slap
ped down the olive branch when
President R. C. Embry said: (1)
He saw no reason why Baltimore
should approach the Redskins for
a deal, and (2) the franchise pay
ment was “the funniest thing yet.
We wouldn’t pay him a dime.”
Both clubs have admitted that
a Redskin-Colt rivalry would be
profitable. The two cities are only
40 miles apart.
Dan Topping, owner of the New
York Yankess (AAC) said Mar
shall’s objection to having Balti
‘more in a new league had block
ed a merger of the two circuits
last month when representatives
met in Philadelphia.

THURSDAY, JANUARY 13, 1949,
the year with the Auburn club
and the Bulldogs will have to ap
ply plenty of pressure if they ex
pect to come out on top. The
Plainsmen recently licked Geor
gia Tech, no easy task in its self.
So, they must have something on
the bail and local fans are in for
a top brand of basketball with the
week-end slate of Auburn and
Alabama.
Guard E. L. Rainey has been
out of action since the holidays
after having his appendix remov
ed. J. B. Farr, a local boy, has
moved up to fill Rainey’s shoes
and has done a remarkable job.
Farr will be in the line-up tomor
row night, along with Joe Jordan,
Slim Schloss; Davis and Healey,
Red Devils
Drop First
Contest, 48-45
By HUGH DEAN
GAINESVILLE, Ga., Jan. 13 —
The Athens Red Devils had their
23-game victory string snapped
here Wednesday night by New
Holland Milis, the factory crew
putting the skids on the Classic
City club, 48-45.
Leading 28-19 at intermission,
the ’Devils seemingly had things
under control, only to return to
the floor in the second half and
have the New Holland team catch
up in the.third stanza, and go
ahead in the last quarter to take
the affair by the three point mar
gin.
Chastain Has 13
Chastain’s 13 points was high for
the Red Devils, with M. B. Wheel
er, an Athens boy, nailing down
'second honors with 11. Morgan
Harvill, one of the stars of the
team, was held to three points by
the Gainesville aggregation.
It was the first defeat suffered
by the ’Devils since the club was
organized last winter. They had
a 15-0 record last season, and had
'won eight in a row this campaign.
