Playoffs in the City uBaseball League are not expected to re- sume until after the intermediate playoffs for the Island title are completed. While this will cause some disappointment. among the fans. nevertheless it was the only move the officials could make. Due to the lateness of the season it is impossible to get a game completed on week days with the exception of Wednesday afternoon and with this day, along with Sunday taken up by the Island playoffs, said officials wisely de- clded on the above mentioned move. Anchors lead the series one game to nothing and need two more wins to take the title won last year by the ‘Leglonaires team.

Fight Promoters Continue Battle

(By Gayle Talbot) NEW YORK. Sept 2?.—(AP)— While the Tournament of Champ- ions counted lls meagre profits from Tuesday night's midrile- weight championship fight, pro- moter Sol Strauss of the rival 20th Century Club flexed his ear- phones todny and prepared to strike back at the upstart agency.

Tomorrow night a-t Yankee Stadium boxing fans will have a chance to witness their second world title fight within 48 hours when Ike Williams. the murder- ous puncher from ‘Trenton, N. J., defends his lightweight crown against Jessie Flores of Stockton, Calif. over the regulation lli rounds.

The customers, fast becoming comatose from such rich Pllfllalil- tic fare, also will see Suga/r Ray Robinson. welterweight king, step l0 non-title rounds against Kid Gavllan, the Cuban flash.

"And you may be sure." Strauss thundered, "that no matter what we draw, we won't lose money."

Sol was strongly of the opinion that his rivals dropped e bundle in the Jersey venture. in which Marcel Cerdan. the rugged pun- cher from French Morocco, took the loo-pound bauble from Tony Zsle on a lath-round knockout.

‘Iihls was. a few moments later, emlllngly denied by Andy Nieder- relter. promoter for the roomful cf millionaires who comprise the T. of C. '

"mm ell the headaches," he said mlid-ly. "we cleared about 024.000. And we still have the middleweight champion under lir- tight oonitrsct to defend his title first. for us."
