Rhodes said earlier Monday he believed the National Broadcast- ing Company and the’ sponsors would agree to switch the telecast to Indianapolis. The telecast would be blacked out in a 7% mile radius from the fight scene, However, NBC sports director Tom Gallery, expressed displea- sure over the switch. Cus D’Amato, Patterson's man- ager, said ‘Regardless of what happens the fight will be held in Indianapolis.” He also said Patterson's sched- uled June 25 title fight in New York with Ingemar Johansson hinges on the outcome of the fight here. “If London wins, the Patterson and Johansson fight will not take place,” he said. “This contract calls for a return bout.” .

He's the fel- low the fans claimed should have been given a penalty by referee Red Storey for tripping when Chicago's Bobby Hull went dowa just before the winning goal was scored. DIDN’T DO IT “I didn’t trip him at all,”’ said Langlois flatly. “My stick wasn’t even on the ice. I was holding it about at arm's length and Hull came right into my glove. It caught him on the hip and he went off balance. There definitely was no trip- ping.” Just before the workout - ended, Jean Beliveau came out for a light skating exercise. The high- scoring centre suffered a spinal injury in the March 2% game in Chicago. “IT hope to get into the final some time but my back is still sore—and_I'm not ready yet.” said Beliveau. ‘I can't guess yet about the second game Saturday. I'll just have to see how I feel later on.” Old Case Confident ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) —‘I've got the American League by the tail,’ said Casey Stengel Monday, naming Bob Turley as New York Yankees’ opening day pitcher against Boston Red Sox Friday at New York. “I also think I can play two teams if,I have to,”’ he continued. “That is, I can play a_right- handed and a left-handed team.” This is the way Stengel lined them up: “Lefty’’—Marv Throneberry on first, McDougald at second, Tony Kubek at short, Jerry Lumpe at third, Norm Siebern, switch-hit- ting Mickey Mantle and Enos Slaughter in the outfield and Berra catching. “Righty’’ — Bill, Skowron on first, Mc Dougald on. second, Bobby Richardson at short, Andy Carey at third, Elston Howard, Mantle and Bauer in the outfield and Berra catching. Unnerved By Criticisms, Referee Red Storey Quits plained that the referee failed to cali what they described as two flagrant tripping infractions by Montreal late in. the games. ‘‘No penalty was called for,’’ Storey said Tuesday. “Both Chicago players deliber- ately took dives (looking for a penalty). The ice was so soft that even the officials were falling In his column, Westwick quoted Campbell as saying: “I was sitting right there look- ing at it and Storey missed the call on (Junior) Langlois (of Montreal). ‘I was never su: r of anything than that he tripped (Bobby) Hull... . “Storey could also have given a penalty to Canadiens for a trip on (Eddie) Litzenberger a little earlier when they provided the opportunity for Canadiens’ fourth “But Storey is one of my senior officials and he just froze. Even then, when the demonstration be- gan, why didn’t Red drop the puck? It might have prevented some of what happened, I've been with Storey until now.” Westwick wrote that Campbell said Storey’s explanation. wat that it was a “judgment” call when Langlosi upset Hull. 1| was nee 32 win ropto a over Boston She is owned by Charles Sutherland of Sydney, N.S. ces during the season, also to race their horses over the Syd- ney track. BIG ATTENDANCE In sunny California, Santa Ani- ta track is having tremendous attendances, and never in its his- tory has there been so many fast miles stepped over it. Here are a few samples: On Saturday, March 28, the fifth two«inute mile of the year over this track stepped by W.D. Direct, a five-year-old pacer driven by Jim Dennis; here are the fractional times—the quarter in 30 2-5; the half in 1.01 2-5; three-quarters in 1,32 1-5 and the mile in 2.00, with the last quarter in 27 45!! Another extraordinary pacer won the “A” Pace, purse $3,000, on Wednesday, March 26. it was the -five-year-old Debora Frost, by Adios, driven by Howard F. Beissinger, the mile was in 2.00 flat, with the last quarter in 2- 2-5 seconds. She is owned by J. E. and C.E, Armstrong of Bramp- ton, Ontario, and she is cared for by the very popular Archie Liew- ellyn, of Montague, P.E.I. Won't Archie be having a great time out in sunny California, and how proud he must have been to see Debora Frost lower her record from 2.01 2-5 to the twominute mark, which only a few trotters and pacers ever attain in their lifetime campaigning. Last year Debora Frost made 31 starts, was 10 times first, 3 times second and 7 times third with winnings of $10,651. Her re- cord of 2.01 24 was taken last year. ; Howard Beissinger also won with Camas B., cutting the sea- son's trotting’ mark to 2.01 14, and winning the $5,040 Santa Ana Trot. Camas B. came through with an exceptional performance in winning this event from a fast | fiekt of trotters; last year he had a record of 2.065 andthe six- year-old horse had winnings of only $2,543 going into this sea- son. Bi Shively, who celebrated his 8ist birthday on the 26th of March, and who last year made 44 starts, being 8 times first, 10 times second and twice third with winnings of $11,396, was given a great ovation by the thousands of spectators when it was an nounced from the judges’ stand at Santa Anita that he was cel- ebrating another birthday. He was called to the press box, where a cake-cutting ceremony took place, all photographed, of course, but “Bi'’ was unable to pick up a win to help celebrate the day,.although he drove three horses.

MANY THANKS _ We sincerely thank Dr. King Grady, of Vancouver, B.C., for a story on the S.A. Camp Farms, which appeared in a recent is- sue of the:Los Angeles (Califor- nia) Times. It was written by Paul Zimmerman, sports ediier, in his column ‘“Sportscripts’, and it reads as follows: “The label they've tacked onto the vast S.A. Camp Farms of Shafter and Bakersfield is ‘the Calumet of Harness Racing’ and that might prove to be too mod- est a name the way things are going. “Calumet Farms, which orig- inally was a trotting horse oper- ation in Lexington, until it was shifted to thoroughbreds by th late William Wright, certainly is being paralleled in sheer horse- power by the Camp establish- ment, which currently is cam- paigning at Western Harness’ spring semester at Santa Anita. ‘For the last four years the name of S.A. Camp has been at the top of the national heap as the leading money winner in the sulky sport. Sol Camp died near- ly two years ago, but in the 12 years he spent in harness racing he built an -empire unequaled since the days when Leland Staa- ford raised trotters on the cam- pus of the university that now | bears his name. “When Camp died there was some question whether the sta- ble would degenerate or perhaps even be disbanded, The bubble didn’t burst. Instead, the stable earned $406,950 in 1957 and pick- ed up $466,908 last year. “The fact is that youthful Jim Camp and Joe O’Brien, his able trainer-driver-adviser, have kept things going in the same direc- tion that Sol Camp aimed bis sights back in 1945 when he bought his first horse. 38 IN ING “To show you what an opera- tion the Camp racing stable is, there are 38 horses in training at Santa Anita under O'Brien's supervision, He needs help from three assistant ‘trainers and 18 other stable hands. In addition, there are another 16 horses at the Shafter training grounds un- der the direction of Gene Mat- tucci., “At the breeding farm nearby, there are 60 mares, most of them in foal, along with approximately 30 newly turned yearlings. Six stallions, including the mighty Scott Frost, are also included. There are three other Camp stal- lions leased to farms in the East.

Fleming Mackeli then broke out of his own zone on a 2-on-1 rush and tired to pass across the ice to McKenney but the puck went behind the flying Don. Toronto's alert skaters sped down the ice in the reverse direc- tion with rookie defenceman Carl Brewer passing to Frank Mahov- lich. Mahovlich took two strides toward the goal from a head-on direction, then passed to Ehman whose shot whistled past Lumley into the far corner. The Bruins had gone ahead 2-1 at 14:38 of the middle period when Leo Boivin, a defenceman who looked like a runaway tank on ice, outbattled two Leafs for the puck at centre ice, skirted around Tim Horton and fired a 20 footer.
