Joe Baksi Defeated In Come-back Try BROOKLYN UP — Big Joe Baksi said tearfully today, “I’ll go on fighting and try to win the title for Manager Leo Feuereisen, 56. died at the ringside during Monday night's come-back bout in which ex-heavyweight contender Baksi lost a unanimous 10-round decision to Bob Baker of Pittsburgh. - , Excited by the close television fight at Eastern Parkway Arena, Feuereisen of New York' collapsed in his seat at the end of the sixth round and was pronounced dead in the dressing room. L. The death and defeat were a double tragedy 'for, 32-year old Baksi of Kulpmont, Pa, The excoalniiner was making his first comeback attempt on the "big time" after an absencepf two and one-h alf -:y vgrsr 'An d'' •it-"- : was Moe’S' first important fight with Feuereisen as sole manager. Two of the manager’s children were at the ringside when he collapsed from a heart ailment. They were son Alfred Fayer and daughter, iMrs. Beverly Maurer. Alfred will take over Bakst’s management and be advised by trainer Pete Leto. The bout was du'll at times, but it had many exciting phases. Although 27-year old Baker spotted Baksi 30 pounds, he gave veteran Joe such a battering in. the third round, it appeared he could not last the distance. Baksi suffered a gashed right cheek and a scratched right brow in that third session. His nose had begun bleeding in the second. But 236-pound Baksi rallied magnificently in the fourth, and fought at least on even terms in the bitterly contested fifth and, sixth rounds. Baker weighed 206. . Baker, also attempting a -comeback after being knocked out by light heavyweight champion Archie Moore and-outpointed by Clarence Henry won the decision with left jabs and short, straight rights to the head. However, several sports writers thought Baksi had wen. The ring officials favored Baker on rounds as follows: Referee Abe Simon, 7-2-1; Judge Bill Recht. 7-2-1; Judge Leo Birnbaum* 7-3. The United Pres? hid Baksi ahead, 5-4-1. Baker said today, "Baksi should keep oh-t-ig ht ing. He wa sn*t sharp last night. He’s a hard puncher, particularly to the body. And he’s tough.” Baksi was inconsolable over his manager's death. ”1 wish he’d always been with me.’ he siad. “He >« the best I ever had.” BrooklyH Pitcher Is Handed SSO Fine BROOKLYN, UP — Pitcher ■'Russ Meyer of the Brooklyn DodI gers has been fined SSO for his : dispute with Umpire Lon Warneke in last Saturday's game against the Pittsburgh Tirates, Jt was announced today. , Meyer the starting pitcher, was removed'by Manager Walt Alston with the bases loaded in the secI ond inning.

Busch Jr. want to bat before a Senate subcommittee today to defend her beer-baseball empire against monopoly charges. The St. Louis businessman, whose Anheuser-Busch brewery interests control the St. Louis Cardinals, was ready to reply to Sen. Edwin €, Johnson’s charge that he is .using the baseball club to promote a beer monopoly. Johnson (D-Colo.) said he would make some ‘more pointed” comiiients pi his own before the senate monopol: subcommittee. Two of the top baseball brass. Commissioner Ford C. Frick and National League President Warren Giles, also were waiting to take their turn at bat. Technically, the subcommittee hearings involve a Johnson propi -ill that would subject to the federal anti-trust laws any baseball team controlled by a coporatioti which, itself, isosubjert- to the anti-monopoly laws. Basobal) executives have long contended that itaaehall could not operate if it were a business in ; the eyds of ffie' law. They won a major supreme court victory last.jear when the court ruled that base ball is ~a sport and not such a business. But Johnson said Busch “is using the St. Louisi'Cardinals to promote tlie monopoly of AnheuserBusch over’his’eompetitors Jn the brewing industry, and at the same time he is, rutlilessly and deliberately annihilating minor league baseball in a large area of the midwest. ’ - ~~ i .- 1 1953 CHEVROLET Deluxe Tudor with ' Radio and Heater > $1495.00 SAYLORS

Chicago Cubs Rookie Tosses Win Over Cards By UNITED PRESS What a year this is tor rookie pitchers making their first big league startst Lefty' Jim Davis, a 28-year-ol<) hurler with a good magfery of knucklers and screwballs, made his fliit big league start a winning one tor the Cubs Monday night when he pitched a seven-hit 6-2 victory over the Cardinals, holding the mighty Stan Musial hitless in four times at bat. Davis thus became the ninth rookie hurler to make his first big league starting assignment a winner this season. On Sunday Ray Crone of Milwaukee pitched a 10inning five-hitter to beat the Cubs while last Friday night Frank Sullivan -of the Red Sox topped the World Champion Yankees with a seven-hitter. Others who came through with victories in their first starts were Art Fowler of Cincinnati with a four-hitter over Chicago, Paul Penson of the Phillies who beat the Cardinals with an eight-hitter, Truman Clevenger of the Red Sox who needed relief help but still beat Washington 7-6, and three youngsters from Pittsburgh. They were George O’Donnell with an eight-hitter over the Giants, Bob Purkey with a nine hitter over the Cardinals, and Jake Thies with a four hitter against the Cuba. u- ptayed Under Protest Davis won his gaipe in the midst of a rhubarb which prompted Card manager Eddie Stanky to protest the outcome. The protest was lodged on conflicting umpire calls on a fly ball by Wally Moon in the fifth. After four straight singles by Ray Jablonski, Tom Alston, Rip Repulski and Del 'Rice had produced one run and given Davis his only difficulty, Moon lined to Ralph Kiner in left. Kiner, it was ruled eventually, caught the ball, but not until a 15-minute delay had ensued. Umpire Hal Dixon ruled it a trapped ball and umpire Tom Gorman called it a fair catch; Joe Garagiola hit a homer and single to drive in two Chicago runs. Davis struck out four and had trouble only with Repulski who collected three of the seven St. Louis singles. The Giants made it three victories in a row at Philadelphia with a 54 victory while the Pirates after losing four straight to the Dodgers finally beat them 5-3 witli s faur-bUter .by Max Surkont. There were no other National League games scheduled. In the only American League game, the Yankees defeated the Athletics 7-3 on rookie Bob Grim’s three-hitter. May* Blaats Two Willie Mays drove in four runs with two homers ? and a single in the Giant triumph, His second homer after Don Muejler’s double in the eighth delivered the tying and winning runs off Murry Dickson as reliever Hoyt Wilhelm picked up his second victory with three scoreless Innings in which he yielded one hit. Surkont’s victory was his fourth, one third of the Pirate victory total of 12. He walked only two and had the Dodgers hitting his lowbreaking stuff to the infield so consistently that first baseman Bob Skinner had 19 putouts. Frank Thomas and Dick Cole hit Pittsburgh homers. ’ Grim struck out seven Athletics but walked six and all three Philadelphia runs came as tire result of bases on balls. Hank Bauer led the Yankees with two doubles and a single wTiile Andy Carey and Gil McDougald each contributed a two-run sinlge. After Alex Kellner was kayoed in the fourth, Camille Van Brabant and Ed Burtschy combined to hold the champs hitless for the final four innings, each pitching two blanks to the Yanks. Monday's Star: Rookfe Jim' Davis, the Cub lefty, who made his first big league start a winning one with a seven-hit 6-2 victory over the Cardinals.

Racers Preparing Cars For Classic INDIANAPOLIS, UP — The sprawling Indianapolis Motor Speedway grounds lay quiet today except for feverish activity in “Gasoline Alley.” There, the 33 cars that will start the 500-mile race next Monday and two alternates were dismantled to check for defects that may have occurred since they were qualified.
