Supreme Court Rules Against Boxer l.ou Nova

LOS ANGELES (AP)—The Cali fornia Supreme Court Tuesday de- cided against former heavyweight boxer Lou Nova in his attempts to collect libel damages from Vin- cent X. Flaherty, columnist for the Los Angeles Examiner, and the Hearst Publishing Co., Inc. The court denied Nova’s peti-V tion for_a hearing. This action makes final the decision of the state District Court of Appeals which last Nov. 13 reversed a 35.- Oooojudgment won by Nova in Su- perior Court.

The Court of Appeals had re- versed the Superior Court verdict favoring Nova on grounds that the Jury was instructed errone- ously on the law of libel.

Nova contended his reputation was damaged when Flaherty wrote_ that Nova was “cowardly" in his fight with heavyweight champion Joe Louis Sept. 29. 1941. Flaherty dented malice and con- tended that his account was true and also was fair comment.

SPORTS TRAIL Robinson Still

By WHITNEY MARTIN NEW YORK (AP)——The Jackie Robinson retirement story still is a prime topic of conversation and .editorial comment around New York, partly because it has de- vbatable issues and partly because these are the dog days in sports ‘when news is scanty. . The facts are pretty well known by now. The ex-Brooklyn Dodger star two years ago made an agreement with Look to give that 'uiagazine an exclusive on the an- nouncement of his retirement for a reported $50,000 as part of a lpackage deal, and he signed as vice-president of a snack-bar chain about 20 minutes before he was notified he had been traded to New York Giants.

The moot questions are: Should he have given preference to the magazine and ignored the news- paper reporters who had given him such a good press down through the years? Should he have .notified the Giants immediately when he decided not to play more baseball instead of leaving them with the play?

Concerning the first question who can criticize Robinson for ‘making the deal with Look when tit meant $50,000 to him‘? News-

impression he would

Makes News

papers can’t pay’ that kind of money _for exclusives and the -story wouldn’t be worth that much to one of them.

GOOD ARRANGEMENT

Robinson had provided good copy through the years and he was highly publicized in the press because he was good copy. The reporters were paid to write the news and Robinson has been news. ”

This was a mutually satisfac- tory arrangement and Robinson ,had no moral obligation to tell the writers of his plans. He’d have been slightly balmy to turn down $50,000 under the circumstances.

As to the second question though we believe he was wrong. He should have tipped off the Giants that he would not be avail- able “maybe” and “I don’ lgnow” rou- tine and thus leading them and

play.

To us the defect in Robinson’s transaction was plans from his new employers.

from baseball We'd retire, period.

CINCINNATI (AP)—The Cincin- nati Redlegs Tuesday signed out- fielder Jerry Lynch to a 1957 con. tract within a few hours after doc- tors had given him “a clean bill of health’ regarding an ailing shoulder.

Lynch and pitcher Russ Meyerl were given physical examinations and Redleg General Manager Gabe Paul said both athletes were reported in good shape.

Lynch was drafted from Holly- wood of the Pacific Coast League but he was sidelined .most of the 1956 season because of what doc-

Meyer, acquired from the Chi- cago Cubs late last season, had been troubled with a pulled mus- cle in his pitching arm.
