Oct 5 -—(AP) -The ring career of Enrico Bertola ended in tragedy today as the 27- year-old Italain boxer died of a head injury suffered in a bout 'I‘uesd.~.y night with Lee Ofllii. It was tho eighth boxing fatality this year in the United States District Attorney Gordon Stec‘. ordered an immediate investigation and told police to produce all ring officials. handlers of the fighters and officials of the sponsoring or- ganization, the Fail-view Athletic Club. "I have ordered Oma detained and held here until the matter is resolved." said Steel. It was un- derstood, however, that Oma will be permitted to rcmain in his hotel. Oma. whose hcme town is De- troit but who now fights out of Newark" N.J., was not available for comment. Steel ordered an autopsy to de- termine the exact cause of death. Bertola. who took the Italian heavyweight championship only two years ago. suffered a beating about the head in dropping the IO-round decision to Oma. How- ever. he walked from the ring Fifteen minutes later he com- plained of feeling sir-k to his stomach. Later he lapsed into a st-ate of unconsciousness from which he never recovered. Dr. Louis Hertz examined Bcrtola on the spot and diagnosed the attack as a cerebral concussion and possible cerebral haemorrhage. The fighter “as taken to hospital. l‘ table He was on the operating nearly five hours as doctors work- ed to relieve the pressure of a blood clot on the brain. At Tuesday's weighing in. Bertola was. pronounced in fine shape by Dr. Louis A. Kaiser, New York State Athletic Commission physic- ian. Dr. Kaiser has been examin- ing fighters here for more than 3i) years. Once the fight started. it was clear that Oma, a light purschcr, was too much for Bertola.

The bout, for the more part. was a slow-moving listless affair. with neither fighter hardly landing a blow in the opening round, despite the fact that Peterson hit the can- vas for a no-count when Jackson wrestled him down rather than knocked him during a brief flurry‘ midway in the round. The next two rounds were also slow-action affairs, with Jackson the aggressor all the way. al- though Peterson dld get in a. few good left jabs to the head during the second tanto, while in the third they both speeded it up a bit with Jackson getting the bet- ter of the exchanges with solid body punching to the midsection of Peterson, _ JACK-iv“ ShOOk up Peterson con- slderably in the fourth with some right hands to the face, while in the fifth, both began to mix if. fairly well with Peterson landing probably the hardest blows of the bout midway in the frame when he began to get Jackson's range, with most of them landing on the head and face. although they didn't seem to be troubling the Nova Scotia fighter at any time.

Always interested in backing sport to the limit at all times in what ever sport is in vogue at the time, the Abegwelt Club feel that they would like to have a team represent them here this season. and are interested in finding out how many players are available in the City to participate on such a team. All players interested in the for- mation of an Abegweit team are asked to hand their names in to Mr. Arthur Perry at the Travel Bureau and if sufficient names are received, the Abegweit Club will get the necessary plans rolling- to develop the team and put it in the field ready for action. Slill Arguing Henrichillomer Nl-IW YORK. Oct. 5 - (CP) - They still were arguing tonight about that big fat one that Tommy I-lenrich belted into the Yankee Stadium stands ln the World Ser- ies this afternoon. Henrich's homer was the pay- off blow in thc ninth inning to give New York a l-0 victory over Brooklyn Dodgers in the opening game of the October classic. Sports writers watching the game thought Dodger pitcher Don Newcombe fired a fast ball, waist' high. Tommy Henrlch himself wasn't too worried. ~ "I don't know what kind of pitch it was that I hit," he said in the Yankee dressing room. ‘l. think it was either a fast ball or a slider. Anyway. it looked pretty good, s0 I hit it." Unhappy Newcombe _ who ought to know _ said he served up a curve - "a curve ball, a good pitch." Brooklyn manager Burt Shotton didn't seem so interested in the speed of the ball - it was the placing that made him mad. "It that one pitch had been high instead of low we'd be out there yet," he moaned.

And the affliction isn't confined only to the traditionally-rabid burghers of Brooklyn. Witness, for instance, that in the halls of Coi- umbia University Gen. Eisenhow- or, now president of that institu- tion, took time out to talk baseball. And out at Lake Success. N. Y» the United Nations’ important po- litical committee adjourned unex- pectedly for lack of speakers. Many had hooded for Yankee Sta- dium. Althoughcvcry box and reserv- ed seat had been long since sold out, today's attendance was 86,224. some 3.000 less than the figures for the Yankees‘ pennant-clinching games last week-end against Bos- ton Red Sox in the same park. Some of the reasons advanced in- cludc this morning's threatening weather which drove many from the lino-up for bleacher seats and standing room. advance publicity which indicated getting in as a near-impossibility. and television. But if some of the faithful stay- ed away from the park, there's little possibility that they missed the 1-0 defeat of the Dodgers by Tommy llcnrichs ninth-inning homer. Television bars were lam- med. and some bartenders went to the length of dividing their bars into two rooting sections. Feeling is running high. Next to a box-seat ticket. the scarcost commodity around the Stadium today appeared to be the hot dog. The stands in the corri- dors behind the seals were doz- cn-dcop cvcn during the crucial moments of the tight pitching duel, and the travelling vendors were fallen upon in their first few steps. Few got through to anywhere near the front rows. ' lt might have been a different bail game had manager Casey Stengcl yielded to an urge in the eighth inning and yanked Rey- nolds for a pinch hitter. “With Coleman (Gerry) on sec- ond after his double and only one out." Casey explained, "I was toying with the idea of putting in a pinch hitter for Reynolds and finishing with Joe Page. But "Al- lie changed my mind for me. Be- fore I knew it. _he was standing at the plate ready to hit." Although catcher Roy Campanel- 1a struck out twice and went hit- lcss in three trlpts to the plate, the first Negro battery in World Series history did itself proud. Roy handled Newcombe expertly to help Don register ll sirikeout vic- timsronly two shy of the record of l3 set by Howard Ehmke of the i929 Athletics. _n_iiii'e"n c lnsuy EBIFEATrIoNE INCOME TAX record book.

That was as far as Jorgensen got, as Reynolds struck out Duke Snider and got Jackie Robinson on a drive to right field. Reynolds walked the first two Dodgers to face him in the second and there were visions of Fireman Joe Page coming at the gallop from the Yank bullpen. But Allie tightened, forced Gil Hodges to ground into a double play and retired the dangerous Roy Campanellg on a P0P to right. That was the last time a.
