Government Moves Into Boxing Arena j WASHINGTON (INS) — The federal government has moved into the boxing arena with indictments charging the International Boxing, Guild and Its top officers with criminal violations of antitrust laws., Attorney general Herbert Brownell, Jr., announced Tuesday that a federal grand jury in Cleveland returned the indictment against the guild, which includes the managers of many professional boxers in the U. 8. The International Guild with beadquarters in New York city and Charles Johnston, its general president along with William Daly, general treasurer, were named tn the Indictments. So was the Boxing Guild of Ohio, with headquarters at Cleveland, and its president, Albert W. Del Monte. <- The organizations and their officers were charged with having, since 1952: “Subjected non-mem-ber managers, dissident members, and promoters disapproved by the international or its affiliates to an organised boycott.” The grand jury also alleged a general boycott against professional fight shows staged for television audiences, known as “studio boxing shows.” This boycott, the jury said, resulted in cancellation Os a Cleveland telecast from April to October last year. ’ Johnston, in San Francisco for file Jan/ 18 featherweight title fight between champion Sandy Saddler and Flash Elorde refused comment until he gets the full facts. Johnston manages Saddler and Archie Moore, light - heavyweight champion. * Meanwhile, the California athletic commission said it will consider at its Jan. 23 meeting in Los Angeles the suspension of licenses of managers belonging to the International Guild. Commission secretary Joseph M. Genshlea said the action had been virtually requested by the New York commission. The government action was the second taken against alleged monopoly of the sport. In 1952, charges were leveled at the International Club and its New York and Chicago outlets on grounds that they had tied up major champions and contenders and principal boxing arenas. The case is still pending. High School Basketball Huntington Catholic 82. Hoagland 72. Antwerp (O.) 56, Woodburn 50. Batesville 45, Greensburg 44. Bloomington Bloomington U.' 44.
