Jake Uses His Head

By SCOTT BAILLIE

Sports Writer

NEW YORK, June 26—A new Jake LaMotta goes into action against Irish Bob Murphy tomorrow night—a LaMotta who met the challenge of scientific research and

emerged with a split decision.

When Jake was a middleweight he used to wax increas-

ingly abrupt and skittish as a the light-heavy knows the peace of mind that comed

from studying plant life, bugs, dietics and outer space. “Science has given me a new outlook on life, that's all there is to it.” LaMotta said today in’ his shoe box dressing room as perspiration cascaded down the magnificent chest, “Sure, -the fact that I'm fighting at my normal weight at last has a lot to do with it. But there’s more.” w® » . HE PAUSED to knot a towel around his middle. “Only a while back I thought I had everything. I became bored. There was nothing more to look forward to. Then I began to read up on sci-

ence. I want to ask you a question. Where does the wind come from—did you ever think about that? And energy—does it ever die? I watch plants, too.” ~The Bronx botanist cites Dr. Nicholas Brunori as the man who showed him these new horizons. “He oughta be around some place,” Jake said, them yelled out the door “Hey, Pop! Come on in here.” An elderly physician with a white mustache entered in and gently patted his pupil on the shoulder. “Hello, my boy.” “This is the guy who did it,” LaMotta said. “He’s a general practitioner but he knows as much about some flelds as the specialists. Pop took me with him to the crazy house one time and he discussed stuff with the doctors that they probably thought they had a monopoly on. How's that new book coming along,

pop?”

THE DOCTOR smiled and said the room was very hot. “Tell ’em what kind of a mesomorph I am, Pop. You know, like that stuff that’s in a magazine. Everybody listen.” 3 Dr. Brunoir. lectured softly while the chest expanded. Then Jake took over the rostrum again and described the thrill of reaching his own scientific conclusions which he found backed up later in a text. “I gave up proteins for carbohydrates for a while but switched back,” Jake sald. “I'm back on meats—plenty of meats —just like wild animals. You don’t see a wolf go into a drugstore and ask for a pint of va-_ nilla, do you? Pop, tell ’em about animal instinct in the ring.” “Boxers are more like animals than animals themselves during a fight,” Dr. Brunori said. “Now I'll go, my boy. It’s too hot.” s # ” “pOP’'S A humanitarian, too,” Jake said when the door was closed. “You know what he did when his dog got sick one night and couldn’t sleep? He went outside and gave it a sleeping pill.” “You wouldn't expect a sleeping pill to work on a dog, Jake.” “I know, I know,” LaMotta spit. “But Pop gave it two of em.”

Scientific Stuff

NEW YORK, June 26 (UP) ~Jake LaMotta flabbergasted boxing men today by announcing he would scale 175 pounds, instead of 172, for Bob Murphy at Yankee Stadium tomorrow night “becus weight makes speed.” The announcement of his revolutionary scientific principle had an immediate effect upon betting. It boosted the price from 7-5 to 8-5 favoring Murphy. Through the years, leathertossers have pared blubber and have endured the ordeal of drying-out in order to obtain speed. But Professor LaMotta proclaimed in effect: “Nertz to that staff! Get fat to be’ fast.” “et The Bronx Bull scaled 160 pounds when he lost his middleweight crown to Sugar Ray Robinson on a 18th-round technical knockout, Feb. 14. Jake explained today: “Sure, I wuz light at a hunert an’ sixty. I wuz so light I wuz weak. An’ I wuz so weak I wuz slow. I'm up to a hunnert an’ seventy-five now, and I'm like lightnin’. I'll stay that way for the fight.”

No Dope

CHICAGO, June 26 (UP)—The Illinois Athletic Commission ruled yesterday that there was no evidence to support suggestions that Light Heavyweight Champion Joey Maxim was drugged when he lost to Ezzard Charles in a heavyweight championship bout at Chicago Stadium May 30.

Price in Glory, Whiffs 23 In Evangeline

LAFAYETTE, La, June 26 (UP)—Roy Price, a veteran lefthander, struck out 23 batters last night to set what was believed to be a record for organized baseball. Price, pitching for Houma against Lafayette in the Evangeline League, also walked eight men and gave up five hits to notch a 9-1 victory. Nearest hurling feats disclosed in a hurried search of incomplete records showed two Lubbock West Texas-New Mexico League pitchers fanning 22 men each within two weeks of each other in 1938. They were Lefty Blanchard and Ralph Marshall.

Ferrier and Mangrum Top PGA Choices

By STEVE SNIDER United Press Sports Writer

OAKMONT, Pa., June 26— Big Jim Ferrier and Lloyd Mangrum, a pair of lionhearted “scramblers, were rated co-favorites for the title today as the nation’s top pros

licks before the 33d PGA golf championship opening tomorrow. They were among a dozen players scheduled for their first look at the once fearsome Oakmont Country Club course today but the early arrivals figured this trapstudded, rolling layout fits their game "best. . Despite its 142 sandtraps, Oakmont was opened up yesterday by several players who scored well It definitely favors the strong hitter and confident putter—factors that favor Ferrier and Mangrum over the second line favorites, Sam Snead and Roberto de Vicenzo of Buenos Aires. De Vicenzo figured in victories in the last two tournaments based more or less on match play ability— the Palm Beach Round Robin and Inverness.

Posts Par 712

Among the late arrivals due for a first look was Defending Champion Chandler Harper of Portsmouth, Va., but of the nine former

champions entered he rated less consideration than almost any of them, including the Veteran Gene Sarazen who won the last PGA title contested at Oakmont in 1922, On hand for his 27th PGA tournament, he posted a par 72 yesterday. Charley Bassler of Catonsville, Ind., posted 33-36—69 for the best card reported. Toney Penna of Dayton, O., put together a pair of 35's for a two-under par 70 and Dick Shoemaker of Cleveland came in with a 34-36—70. Buck White of Greenwood, Miss.,! posted a 71 despite bogpys on the ninth and 18th.

140 to Tee Off

A field of 140 will be in the championship field wherf it tees off for qualifying rounds Wednesday and Thursday. The low 63 qualifiers and Harper enter the brackets for match play start-

ted ing Friday with two 19 Role

rounds. From Saturday through next Tuesday it'll be 36 hole matches every day until the champion is crowned July 3.

Bavasi's Executive

Needn't Bow

By United Press NEW YORK, June 26-Branch Rickey's up-swept fed no longer is on display in Brooklyn front office, but the replacement -a neat brown job owned by Buzzie Bavasi--may cover up just as much know-how. Bavasi seems the least impressed of anybody when talking about his four-man deal with the Cubs which evoked some big howls earlier this month, The boy vice president of the Dodgers speaks low but with the rapidity of one of the machine guns he handled as a sergeant In the Italian campaign, In addition to fighting through North Africa and Italy, Bavasi has labored under Larry MacPhail’s hair-trigger temper and “Mahatma” Rickey’s reverse English. Out of the mill came a smart, young executive who is thoroughly relaxed. It could happen only once. “ - Hn NOW THAT Andy Pafko, the big name in the four-for-four deal, is with Brooklyn some observers say the Dodgers might as well holst up the National League pennant without further ado.
