Fight Game
Investigates
Roach Death
NEW YORK, Feb. 24 —(AP)—
Boxing, subject of many probes,
went under thc microscope again
today as ring and civil authorities
sought an answer to the death of
Lavern Roach, good-looking, 24-
year-old middleweight of Plain
view, Tex.
Two invuestigations were order
ed immediately to determine if
negligence played a part in the
fatal brain injury to the boyish
ex-Marine. He died yesterday 14
hours after he was kiocked out
in a fight at St. Nichols arena.
No charges were brought against
his cpponent, Georgie Small of
Brooklyn, who smashed Roach to
the canvas twice rattling right
hand blows in the tenth round.
The New York State Athletic
Commission had an open hearing
this morning. Chairman Edward
Eagan, who presided, said a pre
liminary examination showed no
infraction of commission rules.
The district attorney’s office
launched a widespread investiga
tion, calling in all persons connect
ed with the Wednesday night bout.
Roach died at 12:50 p. m. (EST)
at St. Clare’s Hospital. He was in
a deep coma at the time and the
official hospital bulletin attribu
ted the death to a “cerebral hem
‘orrhage and brain damage.”
The fighter’s wife, Evelyin, and
his manager and onetime Marine
lsergeant, Johnny Abood, were at
the bedside. g A e
Roach, voted the brightest
rookie prospect of 1947 by Ring
Magazine, gave Small a beating in
the early rounds and had =& long
lead on points until the knockout
came,

Honus Wagner
Celebrates
76 Birthday
CARNEGIE, Pa.. Feb. 24—
(AP)—Birthday number 76 caught
up with baseball’s Mr, Shortstop
today, but to bandy-legged, in
destructible Honus Wagner the
word retire is just another term
for going to bed.
“lI won't quit baseball until it
quits me,” he declared.
A flock of birthday cards rained
in on the veteran Pittsbrugh Pir
ate coach. His gifts included a 25-
pound turkey from oil millior.aire
Mike Benedum,
“How about that,” marveled
Honus. “All those people remem
bering me. Why, I don’t know
most of the people who sent me
cards.”
Honus is recovering from a
muscular hip spasm that had him
hospitalized for awhile. But he has
no thought of being anywhere but
on the playing field once the base
ball season opens.
Skips Spring Drills
Honus has skipped the spring
training sessions for several years
and he doesn’t make the Pirate
road trips anymore. But when the
Bucs are at Forbes Field—so is he.
The Wagner home in. this town
near Pittsburgh is filled with trop
hies, .
Honus’ favorite is a tall silver
loving cup awarded him in 1908
for winning the batting cham
pionships of both leagues. The cup
was given by Honeyboy Evans, a
famous minstrel man of the period,
¢‘See that cup,” chortled Honus.
“Honeyboy bought the cup with
the idea of giving it to his friend
Ty Cobb but I beat Cobb out that
year and got it.”

Dan Magill Recalls
Roach’s Marine Days
| If ever a man missed his calling it was LaVern Roach.
i Not that he wasn’t a good fighter . . . he was good enough
to win the National Golden Gloves welterweight title in
1945, good enough to be rated professional boxing’s
rookie of the year in 1947 and fight Marcel Cerdan in
1948 for the right to meet Rocky Graziano in a middle
weight title bout.
. But LaVern should have been
in politics. He wouldn’t have had
to make any campaign speeches—
personal appearances wo: ' have
done the trick. He’d steal the
heart of anybody who ever saw
him flash one ‘of his illuminating,
totally captivating smiles.
I know he stole the heart of the
toughest major at the Marine base
in Cherry Point, N. C., in the late
sum 1943. LaVern was an
airplane mechanic — private first
class — under the command of
this officer whe led a night fighter
squadron. This officer was the
type o person no one dared ask
a favor. But it befell my lot {o re
quest his permission for LaVern
to box on the base team. I remem
ber his reply: ;
“Roach? Sure — he’s a fine lad.
Tell +*- - * shove off any time he
pleases. And you be sure and let
me know when he fights — I
want a ring.ide seat.”
It was uncanny how LaVern al
ways won the “most popular”
award at varicus golden gloves
tournaments, In 1944 at Charlotte
he lost a hair-line decision to a
Camp Mackall paratrooper in the
semi-finals, yet won the most pop
ular fighter trophy the first time
in the tourney's history a non
finalist so achieved this distinction.
He came back in 1945 to win his
division and repeated as most pop
ular, a d pulled the same feats in
the big golden gloves tourney at
Washington, D. C,, and the na
tionals at New York City.
When LaVern entered the pro
ranks all the boxing writers—Nat
Tleischer, Jack Cuddy, Harry
Grayson, etc. — wrote about how
refreshing it was to again have
on the boxing scen> a boy whose
exemplary conduct reminded them
of Young Stribling. And LaVern,
like Stribling, had a Georgia
background. He and h’: parents
once lived in Tifton, Ga., his pa
ternal grandparents were native
Georgians, an his great grand
father Terry Fitzsimmons—broth
er to the immortal heavyweight
champic- Ruby Robert Fitzsim
mons - once >wned the Gold,
{Copper. Iron Salt, and Pewter
mines at Cartersville, Ga., later
moving to Texas where LaVern
was borm in Plainview.
We used to have great difficulty
with LaVern trying to get him
|mad for his fights. He simply
| wasn't mean enough. Our trainer,
{ Sgt. Eddie Mi'lar, a little red
'heade ! Scott who was a great
| wrestler on the 1936 U. S. Olym
’pic team and international cham
pion, used to stay awake nights
figuring up ways to make LaVern
mad. I never saw him mad but
once, though, and I wish to God
he had veen fighti.g the boy who
tagged him for keeps Wednesday

Trojans, Canton Tangle At 8
In Gainesville For Top Honors
BY CURTIS DRISKELL
Banner-Herald Sports Writer
Athens and Canton High School basketball teams found
themselves matched in the finals of the Region 2-A tour
nament today, after both teams continued to live up to
their notices as regional favorites by trounting semi-final
foes last night.
The unbeaten Athens High Tro
jans added their 23rd victory of
tl.e year in their second tourna
ment appearance last night, elim
inating Toccoa’s Purple Hurricane,
59-36. Canton, meanwhile, had an
easy time in blasting Gainesville
at Canton, 61-27.
Athens and Canton will meet
in Gainesville tomorrow uight at
8 o'clock for the Region 2-A
championship. Both teams are
already “in” for the State tour
nament, however, since the
State’s four Class A region: fur
nish two teams apiece.
Tomorrow night’s Gairesville tilt
will be the proving ground for t' e
Trojans and the Greenies. Canton,
beaten only once over the span of
almost 30 season gamc , and
Athen., unscatk _d in their last 23
outings, have been regional favor
ites for some time, and are now
being tabbed among the top con
tenders for State honors. The two
teams have not met since last sea
son.
Continuing to support their
claims to co-favorites, both Ath
ens and Canton steamed in with
out any troublc last night, both
downing «ppunen’ that they had
already defeated twice in regular
season play.
Here in the Athens High
gymnasium, t:e Trojans jump
ed off to a 15-9 quarter-time
lead, built their lead t. 30-16 at
halftime, and then heaped on
the coal in " € third quarter.
The Trojans tzlli ° 21 points in
the third period to run their ad
- vantage to 51-26, but .. . .d only
eight more in the final while
limiting Toccoa to 10.
Ted Short, Athens’ star center,
took scoring honors for the Tro
jans, bucketin, eight field goals
and a pair of charity tosses for 18
points. Bill Compton, forward,
came out with 4 points. The first
string played little more than
three quarters of the ball game,
giving way to subs entirely at the
three-minute mark.
It was a finc night for Athens
guards, too, with Warren Thur=-
mond,. Dickie Carteaux, and Char
lie Parrott playing brilliant games,
Carteaux, wusing his dangerous
one-hander f om 'way out, flipped
in seven points, Thurmon' gct
eight and Parrott, playing top de
fensive ball, hit the cords with
one long beauty for two points.
Eugene Kytle and Bill “raw
ford were the big guns for Toc
coa throughout the game. Craw
ford paced Toccoa scoring with
11 peints, besides playing a good
game on the b .rds, while Kytle
tossed in nine points.
“rederick L¢ Tiers, who hit the
nets for 10 points, was the only
man to foul out for either team,
but was a continous threat while
he was in. Leathers connected w:'a
five field goals.
Canton' started to work early
with Gainesvil:e, grabbing a 17-3
advantage at *" - first quarter and
maintaining their pace until the
last period. The Greenies were
ahead 31-5 at intermission, and
after tle first string hit six poi-ts
inside a minute to ma . it 37-5,
Coach D. T. Smith sent the subs
to finish the job. Gainesville came
back for 17 points in the final
quarter to narrow the margin
sornewhat against the su. .
Harris with ine, and Smith,
Frady, and Satterfield with eight
each were top scorers for Canton.
Louis Spain shot nine for the los
ing Elephants.
