Baseball writers were amazed in the change that a three months sickness had made in the bellowing. blustery fellow who roared through life with the throttle wide open. as he ivavod a tired hand that had once made a baseball but look like a iooill- pick. and the shoulders which had once bulged powerfully were slight and slanted.

LikelyiloTake ZaIe-Graziano Fight To Chicago

By ti. Kirlrzmzn

NElW YORK. April ll M (.\PJ—- The Nrw York Stale Athletic Com- mission today just about chased the highLr-iouiod Tony Zaie-Rocky G'l':izir»tio middleweight title fight —fll‘id its expected $500,000 gate ~- Gilli of New Yozk and into Chicago.

The Commlssicnr rejected Cruz- i-irids application for his boxing licc-zice, revoked two months ago

because of his failure to report a $100,000 "fix" offer he said he thought was a joke. And immed- lately Rocky's manager, Irving Co- hen. sad “there doesn't seem any- thing else to do but take the fight to Chicago."

Cohen will confer with Sam PlMT. manager of champion Zale, in Cleveland to talk ove: some of the plans for the fight. Plain, in New York several days ago, sold he was more interacted in Rocky as a title opponent. than European middle- weight champion- Murcel Cerdan.

He figured the local knockout- speoialist would draw more at. the gate, as a result of the sensational Graziano-Zale fight last Septem- ber which Tony won by a six-round lmockout, Pia-n added that it the fight couldn't. be held in New York —because of the revocation of Rocky's licence —- it might be put on in Chicago in June, as Graz- itmo is barred from fighting only in New York.

Manager Al Weill and cx-weller- weight champion Marty Servo were told. today that their applications for relri-staement from stispemsione would be entertained by the Com- mission, and Los Angelo; welter- weight. Jimmy Doyle, _who boxes champion Ray Robinson for the title in Cleveland May 30, was grvnrted his licence.

Servo and Weill have been on the silspandad list since Servo was forced to abdicatc" his, title and re- tire because of an injured nose last September.

Doyle was suspended in r after the Ohio Commission notified the local board he might be suf- fering from head indurics as the tesult of a bout ‘with Artie Levine in Cleveland.
