An opponent for Felix Miquet, 260-pound European heavyweight wrestling champion, has been signed by Matchmaker Billy Thom who has inked Warren Bockwinkel, 250-pound 8t.

Bockwinkel’s first showing here recently ‘was impressive as the Mound City matman downed 255pound Babe Sharkey in- eight minutes of a one-fall match. Miquet, who was born at Lyons, France, will be making his first start here. The Frenchman is a powerful “leg wrestler” and uses a leg scissors as his pet mat weapon.

Continued Rain Halts Workouts

Times Special VICTORIA, Tex, Mar. 6— While most of the squad whiled away the hours in thé hotel lobby, six more players reported to the spring training camp of the Indianapolis Indians yesterday. The six who set up camp with the Indianapolis Tribe for the

first time were outfielders Cramer T: Beard and Frank Thomas Jr.;

ning. The influx of rookies brought to 25 the number of jplayers already under the eye of Manager Al to arrive over

Although the rain is expected to continue through Tuesday, Lopez said it was not too disturbing because of the hard workouts earlier in the week. Since opening the training camp here ‘the Indians have been able to get in only five practice sessions because of the inclement weather. Among the group of rookies who reported yesterday there is only one, Manning, who has never played professional baseball. McFarland was with Independence, Mo., last year where he hit .287. Both Merson and Plate were with the Uniontown, Pa., squad last year where Merson boasted a fancy .406 average and Plate hit

The Tribe will begin full scale workouts Monday, if the weather permits and everyone has arrived.

Lesnevich Scores Record Knockout

NEW YORK, Mar. 6 (UP)— Champion Gus Lesnevich, having disposed definitely of challenger Billy Fox with the quickest knockout in light heavyweight title history, was sought today for a fifth crown defense against Ezzard Charles at Yankee Stadium in July. The 33-year-old champion from Cliffside, N. J., knocked out young Fox at 1:58 of the first round last night before a sellout crowd of 18,453 frenzied fans at Madison Square Garden. Never in the 45-year history of the light heavyweight division had a title fight ended in the first round until Referee Frankie Fullam counted out the Philadelphia Negro as he lay sprawled on ihe canvas for the second time. It was ironic that 22-year-old Fox should have been the victim in this record-breaking kayo; for Fox, himself, boasts the un dented record of 50 knockouts in 52 professional fights, No Alibis Coincidentally, the only two, defeats on Blackjack Billy's list were hammered there by Lesne-vich—-last night, and on the night of Feb. 28, 1947, when Jersey Gus stopped Fox in the 10th round of their first title bout. Last night's quick kayo was something new in 175-pound title competition, but it was nothing new for champion Gus. He registered a new main-event record for the Garden last May when he knocked out heavyweight Melio Bettina in 59 seconds. Neither Fox nor his manager, Frank (Blinky) Palermo, attempted any alibis. In sporting fashion they accepted this defeat by a champion who had proved his greatness, despite age and despite the increasing difficulties of paring down to the 175-pound limit.

Henry set the pace Eddie Ash, re frequently in the last session and it's this writer's guess that the Californian's third-round formula won him the verdict. Wins on Foul It's also the writer's opinion that Clemmons lost some points on account of his inability to adhere to the international amateur boxing regulations. He likes to infight, but the close-in battling is taboo under Olympic rules and Clemmons has been brought up on the regulation American formula which permits punching in the clinches.
