“I guess I'm doing better now Asks Waiver ~ Of Rules in Zivie Dispute

CHICAGO, May 28 (U. P.).— Sheldon Clark, chairman of the Illinois Athletic commission, appealed to the Pennsylvania Boxing commission today to waive its fiveday rule which stands between Fritzie Zivie, Pittsburgh welterweight, and his scheduled bout in Chicago June 7. Clark made the suggestion in a telegram: to Leon Rains, chairman

of the Pennsylvania body, asserting that “It’s been done before and I see no harm in doing - it in this case.” The dispute, Which threatens to result in Zivic’s suspension in one of the two states, arose last week when rain caused the postponement to June 10 of a fight in which Zivic was to appear at Pittsburgh.

Suggests Postponement

Zivic already had contracted to fight Tommy James June 7 at Chi-

‘cago, but the Philadelphia commis-

sion said that would violate its rule, which forbids a boxer from fighting twice within five days. Rains suggested that the Illinois group postpone the Chicago fight to a later date, ‘but Clark said that would be impossible because of contracts with other fighters on the

Clark said that if Zivic failed to appear for the Chicago bout there would be no alternative but to impose an indefinite suspension on the Pittsburgh fighter.

Zivic Says He'll Fight LaMotta

- PITTSBURGH, May 28 (U. P.).— Fritzie Zivic, the former welterweight champion, said today he planned to go through with his bout here June 10 with Jake LaMotta of New York rather than a meeting in Chicago with Tommy James on June 7. :

because my control is tighter,” said Newhouser, 22-year-old . southpaw who hag fanned a total of 24 batters in his last two games, The six-foot-two, 185-pound pitcher gave a convincing demonstration of his prowess yesterday as the Tigers topped the Yankees, 3-2, to move into a tie for third place in the American league. Newhouser smoked his fast one past the Yankees for 14 strikeouts and allowed only four hits as the Bronxites dropped their fifth straight and eighth out of their last nine starts. Washington vaulted into sole possession of first place by slamming the Browns, 4-2, in a night game as the Indians dropped to second by losing two to the Red Sox, 2-0 and 4-3. A crowd of only 1821 fans witnessed the Red game, a morning contest played for war workers. Tex Hughson held Cleveland to five hits for his” third victory and first in six starts. Bobby Deoerr’s fifth-inning single with loaded bases sent the two Red Sox runs home.

Boston Belts Bagby

Boston belted Jim Bagby for four runs in the second as Oscar Judd registered his fourth win. He allowed seven hits, one a homer by Roy Cullenbine, as Bagby permitted eight, five in the sorry second. + A four-run blast in the sixth Humphries and gave the Athletics a 7-5 triumph over the White Sox in a night game. Dick Siebert tied the score with a double and Irv Hall singled home two more. . Elmer Valo’s single sent home the inning’s fourth run. Roger Wolff replaced Orie Arntzen in the fourth to gain credit for his fourth win.

Pirates Trim Dodgers

The Pirates trimmed Brooklyn's Natiénal league lead to 1% games over the Cardinals by scoring a 9-5 triumph over the Dodgers in a night game. In pre-game practice, Paul Waner suffered a severe spike wound in his foot and will be sidelined indefinitely. In the eighth inning—when the Pirates rushed over four runs—Johnny Allen, second of four Brooklyn pitchers, wrestled with Umpire George Barr when the arbiter [called a balk. Dodger players separated the pair after more than 10 minutes of arguing.. Allen, Rube Melton, Fred Fitzsimmons and Les Webber were ejected. Brooklyn picked up four runs in the third, three on Huck. Geary’s error, but Pittsburgh tied it with three in the seventh.

Novikoff Hitless Again

Righthander Jim Tobin lost his own ball game as the Cards nicked the Braves, 3-2. Tobin, who gave up eight hits, tried to intercept a throw to the plate from Connie Ryan with two out in the eighth but muffed it. Howie Pollett peeled off a fancy five-hitter for his fourth decision. Chet Ross homered for Boston and Whitey Kurowski for St. Louis. Elmer Riddle restricted the Phillies to .four hits while the Reds rapped Johnny Podgajny and Si Johnson for 15 blows to win, 7-0. Max Marshall homered for Cincinnati. Van Mungo cut a Cub rally off by fanning two pinch-hitters in the ninth as the Giants managed to shade the Bruins, 3-2. The league’s last-placers found Johnny Wittig for only four hits before Mungo came in in the ninth. Lon Warneke and Ray Prim gave up seven hits as Lou Novikoff went hitless for the second day.
