-._.__

BOSTON, April B _ (Aim-on recommendation of u. physician, the Massachusetts Boxing Com- mission today revoked the liceme Oi Thompson Harmon, New York Negro lightweight, who collapsed during a boxing bout. at Holyoke. Mass. March 8.

The commission also suspended three boxers on advice cf doctors and suspended a dozen other fighters and managers for dlscip iinary reasons. Four who had been suspended were reinstated.

Harmon was held in a Holyoke hospital for 24 hours after his col- lapse which occurred a few sec- onds after his bout with Sandy Sadler. top featherweight con tender, had been stopped in the eighth round.

Virtually out on his feet Harmon was led to his corner where he fell in a heap. Revived, he again passed out and was taken to hos- pita].

In order to fight sadler. who of course was credited with a tech- nical knockout victory, Harmon had to boil off about four pounds which was reported to have rc- duced his resistance.

Suspendcd indefinitely on re- commendations of doctors were welterweight Gene (Anthony) Le- Blanc of Fall River, Mass., light- weight Gene Grenler of Manches- ter. N. l-L, and welterweight Jim- my (Camille E.) Vincent of Lo- well. Mass.

The commission acted in concert with the New Hampshire Commis- sion in suspending Jimmy Burke (George Skianes), Lowell middle- weight. u-ho was injured in a bout “and must be examined be- fore he is allowed to box again."

Other suspensions: Idgntwelght Jimmy McLarnin (Manuel M. Camara) oi New Bedford. for a poor record; welterweight Rally Johns (John Rollin) of Albany, N. Y., until he meets, or is released from. obligations with I-lolyoiws Valley A.

"Dld you know." somebody ask ed him. "that Joe DiMaggio says you are the toughest pitcher for him to hit?" .

"Yes." Trucks said, "and I was very proud to hear it. I think Joe was giving me the best of it but I have been pretty lucky against him."

“l-ic said that, in spite of the fact you may look from the stands as though you just get the ball back and then pitch it as fest as you can, you are the most thought- ful pitcher in the league.“

“Well," he said, "I don't know about that. But I do try to pitch as intelligently as I can. You know the hitters are trying no

it, any more than you can help trying to outguess them. So any- time you figure right and then give them what.they‘re not look- ing for, naturally you have 2n edge on them.” Then he nid: “I sure got a kick out of what Joe said about me because he is one of the t/wo greatest hitters I ever saw." "Who is the other one?" "Ted Williams". "And how, do you b against Williams?"

"I can't get hirrrout," Trucks uid.

"why," "I don't know. I plot against him just like I do against Di- Maggie, but no matter what. 1 throw at him, he hits it.“

SARASOTA, Fia-, April 5—(AP) -Joe McCarthy opens a. new re- gime at Boston with an old Yan- kee-type club that can wrap up a ball-game with one big inning. Only doubtful pitching stands be- tween his fence-busting gang and the American League champion- ship.

Marse Joe, winner of nine pen- nants, is on the spot in Boston. I.f the Red x beat his old New York club for first place, they'll say Tom Yawkey bought the pen- nant. If they don't, Manager Mc- Carthy probably will get the blame.

A lot depends on the pitchers. Joe Dobson, Jack Kramer, Mickey Harris and Harry Dorish have been effective in exhibition games. Har- ris’ future still is uncertain be- cause of his old arm trouble. The rest of the stall’ also belongs in ‘the doubtful class.

Tex I-iughscn, 1946 ace. has pit; ched only three innings after an anm trouble. Dave (Boo) Ferris, who slumped last season after two spectacular years, has been slow rounding into form.

The rest of the club is set with last year's weak spots plugged by Yawkeys deals for shortstop Vern Stephens and outfielder Stan Spence.

Yawkey put out. $310,000 and players to get Stephens, a right- handed power hitter, and Kramer an il-garue winner, from St. Louis Browns.

McCarthy has shuffled his line- up to present a strong power front. Spence has been made over into a first baseman. Bobby eDoerr re- mains at second. Johnny Pesky has been shifted from short to third to make room for Spence.

Ted Williams in left field is, of course, the key man in the at- tack“ with Stephens and Spence following him in the batting or- der. McCarthy figures opposing pitchers will not walk Williams so often- I-le drew 161 free tickets to first last year.

Dom Dimaggio in centre and Sam Mole in right complete the outfield.

Yankees To Release Spud Chandler

ST. PBTERSBURG. F'ia., April ik-fAPl-New York Yankees to- dey esled waivers on n (Spud) Chandler. 30-year-old pitcher, for the purpose of giving him his unconditional release. The announcement was made by cc-owner Dan To ing of the Yankees. The wsl er call on Chandler came only one day after another pitcher. Floyd (Bill) Bey» ens, was packed off to a Baltimore hospital with a lame arm.

Chandler, in il seasons with the Yankees, won 10D games and lost only 4S to boast. the best won and lost percentage of any current 01g league pitcher. He came up with e dead arm in midsummer lest year. Bis 1941 record was only nine won and five lost. However, he led all American Iiesgue pit chars in earned runs, with e 2.46 average. .

Britain Plans Food Bonus For Olympics

(By The Associated Press)

LONDON, April 5—Brltaln will serve up the comparatively sumpt- uous heavy industrial worker's ration to athletes competing in Olympic games this summer.

In "some items the athletes will get more than double the allocat- ion of the ordinary white collar worker. They will drink two pints of milk a day, compared with the normal allowance of 21/. pints a week.

The big food bonus was sn- nounced today by John Strachey. Minister of Food, who added:

“We feel confident that this is a generous scale- The British Gov‘ ernment invited the world to the Olympic games this year and. lt- being a very great international occasion, we are most anxious to do our guests well."

The special food rules will take effect on July 8 and continue fo: eight weeks. .

Another special LuKICESSlO to athletes-more than 5,000 of whom are expected from 58 competing countries-was to free any amount of food they care to import.

Current regulations limit to 25 pounds the amount of food that can be brought in by visitors.

All grocery shipments by Olym- pic teams must be consigned to the organizing committee.

This will be the daily food al- lowance for athletes living in Ol- ympic villages:

Six ounces of meat. half an ounce of bacon, two ounces of sugar, two ounces of butter and lard, one ounce of cheese. one ounce of preserves, one pound of bread. 11,-‘; pounds of potatoes, 1/‘3. ounce of tea. 1/10 ounce of dried

egg.

In addition to these items, which are the same as the ration for the heavy industrial worker, Olympic menus will be augmented with two pints of milk a day for each per- son and eight ounces of candy a week.

‘This fare can be compared with the normal citizens‘ weekly allot- ment of three ounces of candyJtt ounces of cheese and three pugs‘ of potatoes.
