Lavern Roach
Near Death;
KO’d In Tenth
NEW YORK, Feb. 23—(AP) —
Lavern Roach, free-swinging
young Texan who three years ago
was acclaimed boxing’s brightest
prospect, battled death today after
being knocked out in a comeback
try at the Big Time.
The Plainview, Tex., middle~
weight was in critical condition at
St. Claire’s hospital, unconscious
and in an oxygen tent.
Dr. Vincent Nardiello, physcian
for the Statg Athletic Commission,
said it would be 48 hours before
he could give ¢ decision on the
fighter’s chances of survival.
Roach (159), who turned 25 yes
terday, was smashed to the canvas
twice in rapid succession by
George Small (159 1-2) of Brook
lyn in the last round of a bloody
ten-round melee last night at St.
Nichols arena.
Referee Frank Fullam stopped
the fight at 1:57 of the round.
Roach, hauled to his corner, talked
with his handlers and several
times attempted to leave the ring
under his own power.
Soon, however, he passed out
and was taken to St. Claire’s
where less than two months ago
Bronx heavyweight Carmine Vin
go was carried with a similar crit
ical injury.
Vingo, knocked out in Madison
Square Garden by Rocky Maricia
no, lefi ii.e hospital Feb. 10 after
a month’s treatment for a brain
injury.
Nardiello said Roach has “ a
contusion of the brain ar.l prob
ability -of & subdural hemorrah
age.”
This was an important fight for
the good-looking gladiator.
It was to determine whether he
could come back to the fighting
Big Time from which he was
tumbled March, .948. It was then
that he was stopped by the late
Marcel C- ‘dan of France.
Roach was honored by Ring
Magazine as the 1947 ‘“rookie
fighter of the year.”

Jimmy Demaret Set
For Play At Houston
BY MAX B. SKELTON
HOUSTON, Feb. 23.—(AP)—Colorful Jimmy Dema
ret, who has had tough luck in most previous stops in his
Eative city, went after the Houston Open golf jackpot to
ay.
Demaret, born here 40 years ago,
paced a field of 165 that was to
tee off in the first round of the
SIO,OOO tournament at the Brae
Burn Country Club.
He appeared determined to bet
ter a record that has seen him
finish no higher than fourth in
previous Houston opens.
This year’'s tournament is dedi
cated to Brae Burn's former club
pro who became the first Hous
tonian to rank among golfdom’s
greats.
In Good Shape
Club pro Milton Demaret, Jim
my’s brother, said the 6725-yard,
par 72 layout would be in pretty
good shape for today’s first round.
Jimmy took a brief tour with
two of the three men who figure to
give him the most trouble for the
meet’s S2OOO first prize.
All three—Demaret, Cary Mid
dlecoff, Ormond Beach, Fla., and
Jackie Burke, jr., a young Hous
ton player who set a 72-hole course
record at Harlingen last week —
stuck close to par.
Defending champion Johnny
Palmer, Badin, N. C., confined his
work to practice, tees and greens.
Ray Hill, former Shreveport, La.,
pro now working out of Chicago,
reported the best score of the day,
a four-under 32 on the back nine.

1950 Will Be
Best Year,
Says Chandler
MIAMI, Fla., Feb. 23—(AP)—
The influx of younger players will
make this the best baseball year
since the war, Commissioner A. B.
(Happy) Chandler believes.
“I think we will have a great
year,” Chandler said here yester
day, “The leagues will offer bet
ter baseball than has been played
since the war.” -
Chandler said there is keener
competition among players to re
main in the major leagues and the
influx of younger players will
make the veterans hustle for their
jobs.
Compeition Keen
He admitted the American
League could hardly produce a
more thrilling finish than last
fall’s battle between the Yankees
and Red Sox but added that com
petition will be keener all down
the line.
Chandler said extra night games
will take care of any possible drop
in attendance. “It’s even possible
we might beat last year’s attend
ance,” he added.
He will remain in Florida until
March 14 and will vigit all 10 ma
jor league training camps in this
state before going to Arizona and
California. His first stop will be
at West Palm Beach to see Connie
‘Mack’s Philadelphia Athletics on
