Brown's Proposed Shift to Milwaukee Runs into Block Jockeys at Santa Anita to Back Tanforan Boycott ARCADIA, Calif. (P)—Jockeys indicated Tuesday they will go along with a boycott of Tanforan race track as threatened by the Horsesmen's Benevolent and Protective Association. The boycott was threatened in a dispute over purses for the meeting at Tanforan scheduled to start March 10. Bert Thompson, western manager of the jockeys' guild, issued this statement: "At a meeting held Tuesday in the Santa Anita jockeys' room, the Tanforan situation was thoroughly discussed with all riders, and it was the unanimous vote that they were in sympathy with the horsemen and they were in hopes the horsemen and the Tanforan management reach a suitable agreement. "I also gathered from the riders that they all felt they did not want to go to Tanforan to ride inferior horses." The Tanforan management has asserted the meeting will start as scheduled on March 10 whether the horsemen ship from Santa Anita or not. Nardico Seeks Bout with Moore SARASOTA, Fla. (P)—A new move to shift the St. Louis Brown's baseball franchise to Milwaukee before the start of the 1953 season run into a road block Tuesday, and influential parties on both sides agreed there's no chance of it immediately. The Milwaukee franchise in the American association is owned by the Boston Braves, who don't want to sell. The Braves were offered $500,000 compensation to move their Milwaukee club to Toledo; an open territory, but Lou Perini, president of the Braves, said "no." Bill Veeck, head of the Browns, is eager to move and Milwaukee is beckoning him with a $5,000.-000 stadium, but the Braves aren't willing to get out unless they can pick up an equal franchise elsewhere. "We wouldn't stand in the way of Milwaukee getting into the Major leagues," said Joseph Calrines, executive vice president of the Braves. "But before we give up the franchise we want a triple-a franchise with the same potential. We aren't interested in money. We're interested in a triple-a franchise. I don't see how this can be worked out in a few days or a few weeks." At Milwaukee, Clifford Randall, president of the Greater Milwaukee committee handling the new 32,000 seat stadium, said he had made the half million dollar offer to shift the Milwaukee club to Toledo. The Braves weren't interested. "It was a shut-off conversation," said Randall. "As far as I can see, that ends it." "I also gathered from the riders that they all felt they did not want to go to Tanforan to ride inferior horses." "The Tanforan management has asserted the meeting will start as scheduled on March 10 whether the horsemen ship from Santa Anita or not. Nardico Seeks Bout with Moore MIAMI, Fla. (UP)—Danny Nardico hard-punching Tampa fighter who bolted into prominence last New year's Eve on a technical knockout over Jake LaMotta, predicted Tuesday he also will stop Joey Maxim in their 10-round battle Wednesday night at Miami Stadium. "Maxim's the guy I want," said the usually quiet, modest former Marine. "I'll take him like I took LaMotta, and that ought to get me a crack at Archie Moore's light heavyweight title." The fight will be televised nationally CBS starting at 7 p.m. PST. The Miami weather bureau forecast fair, warm weather for the outdoor event. In the event of rain, it will be re-scheduled for Wednesdays at 11, and a fight in Washington, D.C., between Holly Mims and Willie Troy will be substituted on the television network. Odds on the fight, which started at 2 to 1 favoring Maxim, were shortening as support for Nardico came from fans impressed by the beating he gave LaMotta. The odds were expected to level off at about 7 to 5 for Maxim by fight time. Nardico was an 11-5 underdog when he delivered a smashing right-hand blow that flattened LaMotta in the seventh round. It was the first time the Bronx bull had been floored in his career of 12 fights. For the remaining two minutes of the round, Nardico gave LaMotta a beating that sent the former middleweight champion stumbling, bloody and glassy-eyed, to his corner at the end of the round. LaMotta was unable to come out for the eighth. "I like being the underdog," Nardico said Tuesday. His manager, Bill Gore, added that Nardico was "ready-ready to take an old guy like Maxim." Danny is 25, five years younger than Joey Maxim, on the comeback trail after losing his light heavyweight crown to Moore, predicted he would win easily. The fight means a lot to Joey because, as his manager, Jack Kearns, put it: "If we lose this one, we're dead." Jordan Netters Commission Says Hall Suspension Is 'Indefinite' LOS ANGELES (UP)—The indefinite suspension of heavyweight bovar Dale Hall will remain in effect until he can produce a medical report declaring him fit to fight, the California Athletic Commission ruled Tuesday. The decision followed a two-hour hearing on the Feb. 21 Hollywood Legion Stadium bout in which Hall charged illegal kidney blows led to his TKO loss to Willie Bean. A medical report disclosed no injury to Hall's kidneys but showed a healing fracture of a left rib which doctors said occurred about two weeks before the fight. Hall declared after the fight that a beating by police, following his arrest on a drunk charge, had contributed to his defeat. Hall was convicted of drunkenness in municipal court last week and fined $25. Senators Having Trouble Clearing Cuban Ball Players ORLANDO, Fla. (UP)—The Washington Senators said Tuesday they're having trouble getting their eight Latin American players cleared to enter the United States with spring practices going into full swing. Vice-President Calvin Griffith told reporters that only two of them are expected within the next two weeks and he doesn't know when the other six will be able to report to the training camp here. "We started working on visas for those fellows in January," Griffith said. He said that as he understood it, the McCarran-Walter act passed by Congress last year requires that the players be cleared by the State Department, then screened by other officials and finally passed by the consulate in Havana.

John V. Mara testified in U.S. district court where the government charges the National Football League's radio and television policy violated the Sherman Anti-Trust Act. Federal Judge Allan K. Grim—hearing the case without a jury—asked Mara if he had any idea how much money the Giants would have received for their television rights if a game at the Polo grounds had been televised live in New York. Mara replied: "I would have asked for a guarantee to cover a complete sellout for every game." W. Perry Epes, government counsel, asked: "Did you sell out all your games last year?" Mara said the Giants had only one sellout in 1952. Epes countered with: "Yet you would ask a sponsor to guarantee a sellout of every game when you had only one last year." "We always have an optimistic approach," Mara said, adding, "We feel every game potentially a sellout before it starts. We need optimistic or we would not in professional football." Mara implied in earlier testimony that radio competition ticket sales of home games offset receipts for the broadcast rights, but the same thing did not apply to television, which he said "does detract a great amount from admissions." Mara testified that the Giants received $50,000 for radio rights and $108,000 for television rights in 1952 from the Miller Brewing Company in Milwaukee and the Atlantic Refining Company. He said the Giants decided after 1948 season, not to televised home when the team was played in New York, a checkup have shown that TV had an adverse effect on the gate. "As the number of televised sets increased in New York, the number of advance sales decreased." Mara continued, "Our bleachers sales decreased from an average of 2600 per game in 1946 to 1400 in 1948. The bleacher floor are the core of our fandom. We can't sell the cheap seats a cinch we won't be able to afford this one, we're dead." Nardico said Tuesday.

The tiny lefthander of the Philadelphia Athletics was a picture of modesty Tuesday as he attempted to explain how lucky he was to register 24 triumphs last season while losing only seven. "It was one of those years when everything went right for one," Shantz declared. "The boys seemed to rise to the heights everytime I pitched. I know I gave up as many line drives as I did the year before. The only difference was that this time they were caught. I don't ever expect to have another such season." "I'm not fooling myself," the 77-year-old Pottstown, Pa., knuckle baller added. "I'm not that good a pitcher. As a matter of fact, I'm not even the best pitcher on the club. Now if you want to talk to a real good pitcher, go see Harry Byrd. If any pitcher will win 20 on this ball club, Byrd is the guy." Bobby said the left wrist that was broken last September, which for a time threatened to hurt his pitching career, was completely healed. Also on the completely recovered list was his left elbow, hurt only a week ago when wee Bobby cracked it with the end of the bat in missing a swing.

This rather discouraging picture the situation was presented to by Arthur Coles, chairman of the organizing committee, and by health Minister Sir Earle Page. Coles, commenting on the possibility that Avery Brundage, the international Olympic committee chairman, might visit Melbourne look over the plans for staging the games, said: "If he came out now, there would be nothing to show him. All he could do would be to put him on a plane and fly him over the Melbourne cricket ground and say, 'here it is, the finest cricket ground in the world.'" Repulski Said Most Improved' On Card Squad ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (UP)—Don Rip Repulski is one of the most improved athletes in a St. Louis Cardinal uniform, manager Edie Stanky said Tuesday.

Stanky said of the outfielder up from Rochester: "Repulski is a major league outfielder defensively and now that he has learned to layoff badches, he has a fine chance of playing in the big leagues."
