BUF'E‘.\LO, N.Y.. Oct 5 -—(AP) -The ring career of Enrico Bertola ended in tragedy today as the 27- year-old Italain boxer died of a head injury suffered in a bout 'I‘uesd.~.y night with Lee Ofllii.

It was tho eighth boxing fatality this year in the United States

District Attorney Gordon Stec‘. ordered an immediate investigation and told police to produce all ring officials. handlers of the fighters and officials of the sponsoring or- ganization, the Fail-view Athletic Club.

"I have ordered Oma detained and held here until the matter is resolved." said Steel. It was un- derstood, however, that Oma will be permitted to rcmain in his hotel.

Oma. whose hcme town is De- troit but who now fights out of Newark" N.J., was not available

for comment.

Steel ordered an autopsy to de- termine the exact cause of death.

Bertola. who took the Italian heavyweight championship only two years ago. suffered a beating about the head in dropping the IO-round decision to Oma. How- ever. he walked from the ring

Fifteen minutes later he com- plained of feeling sir-k to his stomach. Later he lapsed into a st-ate of unconsciousness from which he never recovered.

Dr. Louis Hertz examined Bcrtola on the spot and diagnosed the attack as a cerebral concussion and possible cerebral haemorrhage.

The fighter “as taken to hospital. l‘ table

He was on the operating nearly five hours as doctors work- ed to relieve the pressure of a blood clot on the brain.

At Tuesday's weighing in. Bertola was. pronounced in fine shape by Dr. Louis A. Kaiser, New York State Athletic Commission physic- ian. Dr. Kaiser has been examin- ing fighters here for more than 3i) years.

Once the fight started. it was

clear that Oma, a light purschcr, was too much for Bertola.

it was the Knights ln front again for the City title in a tough. well- contested series over the Vlcs. to earn the right to meet the West- ern Champions, the Summerside Kinsmen Juniors. for the Pro- vlncial title. which they won too, in n closely fought series which was forced to a third and final game before the Ryancoached Knights were declared the winners. to advance into the N.B.-4P.E.I. Junior finals. ‘

But it was here, however. that the Knights finally met their match, when they came up against a tough band of Dleppe Cardinals. winners of the N.B. championship. who despite all the efforts on the part of the locals, took the opening game of the best. of three-series by an 0-2 count hare a week ago Sun- day. and shading thelocalsout by a 5-4 count at Monoton last natur- .day to put an end to a highly suc- cessful season for the Knights. des- pite their loss for a crack at the Maritime crown.

Performing before a capacity crowd at the Charlottetown Forum last night, "Bearcat" Jackson of New Glasgow, NS. scored a six- round judge's decision over "Big Boy" Peterson, P.E.I. heavyweight champion in a non-title heavy- weight scrap, whlch was part of the Provincial Potato Festival pro- gram which concluded there last night.

The bout, for the more part. was a slow-moving listless affair. with neither fighter hardly landing a

blow in the opening round, despite the fact that Peterson hit the can- vas for a no-count when Jackson wrestled him down rather than knocked him during a brief flurry‘ midway in the round.

The next two rounds were also slow-action affairs, with Jackson the aggressor all the way. al- though Peterson dld get in a. few good left jabs to the head during the second tanto, while in the third they both speeded it up a bit with Jackson getting the bet- ter of the exchanges with solid body punching to the midsection of Peterson, _

Jackson hit the canvas‘ in the round when he slipped breaking BWBY from a clinch.

The sixth and final round was by far the best of the night, when both b0y_s came out slugging, Pet- erson showing aggressiveness for the first time in the bout. and had the advantage ln the early part. but Jackson came on in the latter part of thc frame to shake Peter- son up again with solid rights to the head and body, with both gwlillpplflg punch for punch at the c .

1t ~was announced last evening by officials of the Charlottetown Abegweit Amateur Athletic Club that they are interested in spon- soring a senior football team in the City this season to play under the Abegweit colors against such teams as Saint Dunstans Univer- sity and other football squads ln a series of exhibition encounters. and to participate in a regular league if such can be arranged.

Always interested in backing sport to the limit at all times in what ever sport is in vogue at the time, the Abegwelt Club feel that they would like to have a team represent them here this season. and are interested in finding out how many players are available in the City to participate on such a team. All players interested in the for- mation of an Abegweit team are asked to hand their names in to Mr. Arthur Perry at the Travel Bureau and if sufficient names are received, the Abegweit Club will get the necessary plans rolling- to develop the team and put it in the field ready for action.

Slill Arguing Henrichillomer

Nl-IW YORK. Oct. 5 - (CP) - They still were arguing tonight about that big fat one that Tommy I-lenrich belted into the Yankee Stadium stands ln the World Ser- ies this afternoon. Henrich's homer was the pay- off blow in thc ninth inning to give New York a l-0 victory over Brooklyn Dodgers in the opening game of the October classic. Sports writers watching the game thought Dodger pitcher Don Newcombe fired a fast ball, waist'

high.

Tommy Henrlch himself wasn't too worried. ~

"I don't know what kind of

pitch it was that I hit," he said in the Yankee dressing room. ‘l. think it was either a fast ball or a slider. Anyway. it looked pretty good, s0 I hit it."

Unhappy Newcombe _ who ought to know _ said he served up a curve - "a curve ball, a good pitch."

Brooklyn manager Burt Shotton

didn't seem so interested in the speed of the ball - it was the placing that made him mad.

"It that one pitch had been high instead of low we'd be out there yet," he moaned.

NEW YJLLIM-Uct. 5 ——(CP) -— De-Spll: inc lowcr-than-forecast attendance at today's World Ser- ics opener there's no doubt about it——New York has baseball fever.

And the affliction isn't confined only to the traditionally-rabid burghers of Brooklyn. Witness, for instance, that in the halls of Coi- umbia University Gen. Eisenhow- or, now president of that institu- tion, took time out to talk baseball. And out at Lake Success. N.
