Mike DeJohn Winner Over Charley Powell SYRACUSE, N. Y. (UPI) - A short night's work may' send Mike DeJohn a long way up the fistic ladder* .

The crowd ot 1,200 was barely seated before DeJohn floored PoweU three times to produce the automate ending of the na-tionally-televised. 10-rounder under New York state rules. Harry Markson of the Madison Square Garden Boxing Club said he would try to line up DeJohn with Machen in New. York on December 18.

DeJohn failed to capitalize on the Miteff victory but promised, "I’ve got a second chance now and I’D make the most of ft.” Powell, 209. from San Diego, was so surprised that he couldn’t explain how he lost the fight. Tax Agents Check On TV Contestants WASHINGTON (UPI) — Uncle Sam’s revenue agents are following closely the TV quiz show scandal to nab any persons who failed to pay taxes on prizes, bribes and kickbacks Internal Revenue Service (IRS) agents have attended the congressional quiz show hearings and scrutinized the transcript for mentions of income that was not reported. This is routine procedure for the tax service, which also studies newspaper accounts and court records for information about contest and sweepstakes winners, large divorce settlements and other big transfers of money. The IRS collected many extra tax dollars by foltowing the Senate Rackets Committee's disclosures of union and management corruption. An informal but sometimes highly efficient IRS intelligence system leads to the collection of tots of taxes people thought they never would have to pay, a spokesman told UPI. The service sometimes nabs a tax dodger becuase an IRS employe notices an item in the newspaper telling of someone winning g contest or TV prize or otherwise coming into some unexpected income. The employe passes on the item to a collection agent in.the IRS office, who then checks the taxpayer’s return when it comeslm :'■ ilr. ’ •<’ :■ ’■ > Phoenix, Artz.. claims more swimming pools per capita than afty other place in the country—about thre per cent of all the nation’s pools with only three-tenths of one per cent of the population. ■• ■ .

U.S. Golfers Lead In Ryder Cup Matches - - J ■ PALM DESERT, Calif. (UPI) - . Thanks to a monumental mental , error, the United States went into the final round of Ryder Cup ’ competition today holding a 2t4 to IMi margin — and with high . hopes they could recapture the ■ trophy now held by the British. “We’re off on the right foot and ' we’ll now ’em down today,” said I Capt. Sam Snead — while admiti ting the best American forces ■ should have had Friday was a ■ 2-2 stand-off Harry Weetman, for years one . of England's greatest profession- , als, was the “goat” of Friday’s , play. He and partner Dave Thom- ( as had their match with Snead and Dr. Cary Middlecoff wrapped up. They were one-up going into the 36th hole. All they needed ’ was a halve so save the day for ’ the British *— and Snead already ‘ had knocked his second shot into . a small lake. Shoots For Green But Weetman, Instead of play- * tog it safe, going for a bogey- ' five, elected to shoot for the , green. He wound up in the drink, t too — and the result was that the Americans won on a bogey on Snead’s fine, pressure-packed eight-foot putt. The British, instead of getting a halve on the hole and a halve for the day, wound up with a double-bogey on the last hole when Weetman became the goat for the second time as he missed a nine-foot putt that would have > halved the hole. “It was a skull,” said Snead r later. “He never should have I gone for the green. He should , have played it safe. I just don’t understand it.” But Weetman had no alibis — and no apologies. “It’s the only way I know how to play — go for the green,” he said later. “I thought it would be nicer to win 2-up instead of 1-up.” Yanks Batter British In other matches Friday, Bob Rosburg and Mike Souchak slaughtered the British team of Bernard . Hunt and Eric Brown, 5-4, after going 8-up after the first 20 holes. Julius Boros and Dow Finsterwald had a terrific battle on their hands before downing Dai Rees and Ken Bousfield, 1-up. And Petet Auls and Christy O’Connor ot Britain thumped Art, Wan and Doug Ford, 3-2, in the other battle. In today’s singles competition, the lineup was (Americans listed first).

Promoter's License Revoked By Board 11 NEW YORK (UPI) — Fight manager Cue D’Amato, having • testified impressively in his own ' behalf, faces the continuation of his hearing before the New York State Athletic Commission next Tuesday with improved chances of keeping his licenses as manager and second. D* Amato, pilot of former heavyweight champion Floyd Patterson, hopes for better luck than that which befell Rosensohn Enterprises, Inc.,_ on Friday when the commission revoked its promoter’s license for two rule violations to staging the June 26 Patterson - Ingemar Johansson D’Amato and his attorneys scored a temporary triumph, at least, at Friday’s session of his hearing when the commission permitted him to testify lengthily that this bitter feud with the International Boxing Club had forced him to make suspicious moves to connection with- Patterson fights. The IBC-feud testimony was admitted despite the. torrid protests of commission’ counsel James P. Fusscas, who insisted that the IBC aspects were irrelaibnt. The commission’s five 'Misconduct charges against -D’Amato indicated that he was an uhscupulaus, money - grabbing manager. But bls earnest testimony pictured himself as the harassed pilot of a world champion, bucking the power of the IBC. A third hearing, that of promoter Bill Rosensohn — threatened with the loss of his matchmaker’s license by three misconduct charges—was also postponed to next Tuesday. Rosensohn Enterprises, Inc., tost its promoter’s license Friday on charges of failing to notify the commission of stock transfers and of changes in officers and directors.
