We certainly have not spared our comments on the Chavez Ravine referendum which comes tomorrow. But with the vote so near at hand we'll leave further comment until we learn ‘how Los Angeles citizens feel about the Dodgers acquiring the controversial piece of land. '
While Dodgers’ president Walter 0’Malley _ waits hopefully for the result of the referendum, is look at what Mr. O’Malley is paying out at present might be a bit_ interesting.
Besides the Coliseum he has three other parks on which he is paying rent, taxes or maintenance. Here's how it breaks down. At E-bbets Field which he deserted for the west coast, he must pay $80,000 in rent, $40,000 for maintenance and $50,000 {'11 real estate taxes. At Jersey City. where the Dodgers played
' seven of their games last year under a two year contract,~he must pay $12.000 in rent and $6,000 in maintenance. And in Los Angeles. where he refused to use old Wrigley Field’ which he acquired from the Cubs, he must 17817 $27,000 in taxes and $29,000 in maintenance. . ~ '
On his fourth park, the much-abused Coliseum. he is paying 5200.000 in rent.
All in all, that's quite an outlay.‘

There still are some bargins to be had these days despite the high cost of living.
Professional football in Philadelphia is proving this point at :he present time. The Eagles are selling two season tickets (six games) for the price of one-$15.30. They restrict the sale how-
’ , ever to father and son, mother and daughter and to all students.
. But the Eagles have a method in their madness. For the first time they have a large stadium available this yea-r-60,000

Orville Pitts seems to be getting an unusual chance when
‘ he goes against ‘Pony. Anthony on Thursday of next week.
Anthony is the young man who has the distinction of being the second ranked light heavyweight contender while young Mr. Pitts has only six professional scraps hhind him.
Those who try to justify the match claim that Pitts will be no kitten thrown into a tiger cage. They insist his long amateur experience will be quite a benefit to him and they point out
‘ that the Milwaukee fighter has a real wallop.
' They argue that since Pitts has had 70 amateur fights a aouple more professional bouts would not have meant much to him before meeting up with the capable Mr. Anthony.
Those who claim that a knockout of Pitts would ruin his career don‘t find. much agreement among Pitts supporters. They quickly counter with statistics showing that fellows like Jack Dempsey. Bob Fitzsimmons, Tony Zale, Fritzie Zivic, Benny Leonard-to name a few-were stopped early in their career: but that didn't interfere with them becoming greats.
Many writers have likened this coming fight to. the Patter- son-Rademachertitle figh-t._ But again the ‘Pitts populace mt the differences. First, Pitts has fought professionals; Rad macher had not. Second Anthony is not a champion and is by no means another Patterson. Tbirdly Pitts has a great deal more Ipeed than did Rademacher.
June 12 will tell the taleand the Pitts supporteins will know then just how good their boy really is.

One Canadian City will be watching with keenest interest the vote result of tomorrow's referendum in Ins Angeles. And that is the Queen Oity-Toronto.
National League president Warren Giles pointed out that it wasn’t his job to tell the Dodgers where to move if the Revine vote’ goes against them but baseball men agreed that the best oets would be a retunn to Brooklyn or a shift to Minnalpolis or Toronto.
Toronto has been hot on the trail of 1 big league flranchise for quite a while. They would welcome the opportunity to get in with the real big time and give Canada a greater interest than ever in the affairs of the m"ajor*leag:1es."‘
Los Angeles Dodgers’ manager still has his pitching problems
' and his supposedly good hurlers are letting him down badly. Up till Memorial Day Don Drysdale had won only two while losing eight and big Don Newcombe had amassed the grand
‘ total of no victories. On the holiday in the second game of the twin
)ill with Chicago Cubs, the Dodgers gave Newcombe I hand- some 6-0 lead. That was the score when the tempermental , moundsman took the hill against Chicago in the last of that inn- ng. The Cubs started picking at him and got one run back in ’ :hat frame. ' ’ j Then came the fourth and Drysdale was called in to halt the “ambitious Cubs. Alston must have figured that Newcombe and
‘ Drysdale between them might be able‘to win A ball game. If he did
he figured wrong. Drysdale couldn’t get by the sixth and the Subs went. on to grab the ball game that the Dodgers had ap- ’aI‘9flt1y Wrapped up in the very first inning when they pre- aented Big Newk with four runs. ' - '
And so it appears that Drysdale and Newcombe combined Jvouldnt make one good pitcher this 1958 season. '1‘-hat’: what he records prove anywsy_

ST. LOUIS (AP)-Hard—punch- ing Virgil Akins faces shifty Vince Martinez for the world welterweight boxing title Friday in a fight that has revived the ancient argument of which is better-the boxer or the slugger. The clever Martinez is the un- derdog against Akins, a native St. Louisian who used his knockout punch to battle into contention for the title vacated by Carmen Ba- silio.
Akins is conceded to have the stiffer punch, although Martinez owns the better knockout record. The big question is. will Martinez ride the bicycle? Martinezadmitted “I've done too much back pedaling,” then announced he wouldn’t be on the bicycle this time.
“This is the big one," said the 29 - year - old Patterson, .N.J., fighter.
VINCE WON’T ATTACK
The Akins camp_ docsn’t believe Martinez will be the aggressor. “He's always fought on a bi- cycle and he’ll do the same against Virgil, wait and see,” said Bill Farrell. Akins’ trainer. “Virgil is going tohave to press him, keep on him, and make him fight.” Akins himself is confident of a knockout.
Aklins, Martinez Set For Battle
has no fear of Akins’ punching power. He said his fighter can hit, too.
Trainer Whitey Bimstein said Martinez can take a hard punch, and chal-leng)ed: '
“Can -you name anyone who ever decked him?” Nobody has.
Martinez has won 60 of his 65 fights, 31 by knockouts, and nas never been stopped. But his back pedaling has hurt him in big fights. _
mm EBRATIC CAREER
The 3(Lyear-old Ak-ins has come strong in the last year after an erratic career. Just 18 months ago he picked up a $52 purse for a fight in Massachusetts.
He won six straight before being upset by_Gil Turner. But he came .back with _ two straight knockout victories over Tony De- Marco, both in DeMarco’s home town of Boston.
Akin's knocked out Isaac Logart to gain the title shot. Over-all he has won 47 of 65 bouts with 27 knockouts and one draw.
The fight will be worth a.t least $30,000 to each man.
A gate of $100,000 is the goal of promoter Emory Jones and the International Boxing Club. Jones is confident of a crowd of 11,000 and a gate of at least $80,000 in
