i Promoter Jack Solomons claimed

today he ha: received a tempting

t offer to move his “world champ-

ionship" bout between Bruce Woodcock and Lee Savold to New York.

Solomons said if he couldn't rent a stadium in Ilozldon with a seating capacity of 75.000. he might accept.

Woodcock. British champion, and Savold. of Paterson, N.J., are un- der contract to fight for Solomons here Sept. 6 for the British version of heavyweight crown.

An American syndicate, Scio- mons reported. made a week-end effort to buy the fight outright, or to give him a 50 per cent interest in the promotion there. He refused to confirm published reports that the syndicate was Madison Square Garden.

Solomons was specific enougll about the bait - a New York gate of approximately $800,000. He could draw about half that here in White City Stadium with the present 46,- 000 limit on attendance.

His immediate objective ig ta get London County Council to permit him to fill White City to its cap- acity of about 75,000. The police limit attendance because of traffic conditions.

As an alternative Solomons wants ll/embley Stadium, home of the last Olympic Games. or High- bury Stadium. a football ground. Wembicy could accommodate 100,- 00. Highbury 75,000.

But thawembley management has shunned pro fight promotions since the war, and the Highbury people do not. want their football turf trampled.

Solomons said he has rejected a Suggestion by Madison Square Gar- den thdt Ile move the Savold- Woodcock fight up to July to al- low the winner time to defend the “title" in 1949.

After seeing three top-flight soc- cer fcams in action during the last few weeks. Montreal sports writers are of the opinion the sport would becme more popular in Canada if a few kinks could he ironed out. One of these is publicity. At a re- cent game between Eastern Can- ada All-Stars and the Scottish In- ternational eleven. for instance, the referee chased several photograph- ers off the playing field at the in- sistence of the visitors’ manager.

Bu: (Montreal Star) commented: -"Soccer officials are always bloating about lack of pub- licity, so when a chance comes to plug their own game. some stuffed shirt steps in to put sand ill the gear box. We think the official was ultra. officious and we don't go h: the claim that the flashing of the bulbs bothered the Scottish goalie. Well, if they feel that way about it. soccer won't develop far around here."

O O O

Then there is the question of suitable playing facilities. In Mon- ireal. as in most other parts of" Canada. good soccer fields are few and far between. There is also the question oi players. Have we the athletes who could play the game as it should be played and thus gain the popularity it enjoy: in Europe and South America?

Over Airmen Last Night

Former Ears

NEW YORK, June 13 -(AP) — Boston Red Sox today traded two of their former stars to Washing- ton Scnators, for pitcher Walt Masterson. and New York Giants shipped Walloer Cooper. once the National League's top catcher, to Cincinnati Red; for receiver Rey Mueller.

Lefty Mickey Harris, mainstay of the Red Sox's 1946 American League pennant-winning team. and outfielder Sam Mele, rookie stand- out of 1947, went to the Senators. No cash changed hands in the Cooper-Mueller trade and a Wash- ington official said no money was involved in the dcal with the Red Sox. Reports from Boston, how- ever. indicated that once again Sox owner Tom Yaw-key shelled out plenty of cash to bolster his club. Harris, 32, won 17 games and lost nine in 1046 but developed anrrl trouble in 1947 and has been of little use to the Red Sox since Meie batted .302 in 123 games in his freshman season but slumped to .233 last year.

Masterson, 29, never has leached the potentialities expected of him by Washington.

The departure of Cooper, 34. from the Polo Grounds has long been expected. Big Coop h-as been rep-orlc-d in manager Leo Duroch- er‘s doghcuse for some time.

The Giants bought Cooper from st. Louis Cardinals Jan. 5,1940. for a stunning $175,000, oneof the biggfst cash deals in major-league hiszory.

Cooper didn't justify the trem- endous‘ outlay immediately. l-le hit .268 and sucked only eight homers in i946, but the following season he was one of the chief reasons the Giants set a major-league home run record cf 221.

George Kell Increases lead inBaiilnfgfeRaeei”

Boston's Vem Stephens has be- come a double leader in the spec- ialized department with 15 home runs and 54 runs batted in.

Kelli led in hits with '13 and Joost‘s 54 runs headed that depart- ment. Although sidelined by in- ‘jury for two weeks, Chicago's Gus Zernlal still topped the two-bag- ger division with 17.

Cleveland's Dale Mitchell led iu trlplE: with seven and Bob Dilling- er of at. Louis had the moat base thefts, eight. '

New York's Vic Raschi paced the pitching department with a 9-1 record for a .000 percentage. De- troit's Virgil Trucks was the No. 1 strikeout artist with 70.
