Bell, weighing 131 1-2, had come from behind to outduel his oppon ent from Holyoke, Mass, in the bout last Tuesday night.

At the count of four the Hurricane was up, blood flowed in a steady stream from his nose. Coming out puncing in the 10th round, Jackson ran into what was seen as a left-right combination as he bounced off the ropes. Tommy kept pawing away only to catch another fierce barrage 'hat drove him to the ropes and convinced Goldstein that Jackson had stood all that he could endure. All of the three official score cards listed the bout a? a shut-out in the champs favor. The judges were Joe Agnello and Bill Rental. whose cards read 9-0 going into the 10th.

Some pitcher* maintain they have involved tan players. Larry Doby had to sit down after a serv«. suspiciously close, from Art Ditmar, the big New York Yan kee righthander. The White Sox out fielder quite naturally express ed his resentment. Ditmar retorted with an epithet, j increasing Doby s ire Larry star ! ted toward the mound. Ditmar met ' him halfwav Doby landed the first j nr.d only punch, a clean shot to j the jaw. T.nis incident touched off i a free-for-all among the players | on both teams A couple of weeks ago- Ra ul Sanchez, a Cuban right hander for the Cincinnati Red legs threw pitches a mite too close for comfort to Junior Gilliam look steps to retaliate —the old batter trick of drag j ging a hunt and hoping that the pitcher will attempt to field This led to another scrap involving members of two teams. i Gilliam's teammate. Shortstop Charlie Neal, clipped Don Hoak, of the Redlegr. so cleanly that Hoak threaten to resume the battle out side of the ball park, if necessary. Still another cm-put involved Ruben Gomez the Puerto Rican righthander of the New York Gi ants, and Sad Sam Jones, St. Lou is Cardinals’ fireballer. They sim ply threw at each other. The incident that precipitated most controversy, however, was the beaning of young Frank Rob inson. the Redlcgs' outfielder. He was struck behind the ear by a , pitch from Gomez 1 An angry Birdie Teobetts ] charged that National League pit- I chcrs were throwing deliberately I at Robinson because he was a Neg- I gro "and couldn t fight back. After sleeping the matter fi ver, Tebbetts rccan.ed. He said that be was so incensed that when he saw Robinson on l the ground, be "Blew his top He apologized thru the leag ue's president, Warren Giles, i apologized through the le.ig One of those who disputed Tibbetts' remarks was Jackie Robinson. "In ail my years with the Dod- gers,” said Jaclue, the first. lan player in the majors in modern times, “except perhaps the first one, l can't honestly point a fin ger' at any pitener and say he threw at me or anybody simply because the batter was a Negro. It would be difficult to draw any sort of line between accidental beaming or the intentional duster because the batter happens to be of darker hue. But wo can't rule out at prac tice entirely. For example, when Robinson was hit by Gomez it was the eighth time this season that he had been struck by a pitched ball. As a freshman player, he was hit 20 times. Jackie Robinson washit .1 times in bis 10-year major league career. Minnie Mineso set an American League re cord for being hit bv pitched balis in one season. Yet, there are other tan players who are hit compara tively few times. Vic Power, the Kansas City A’s first base man. has hcen hit only three times in three seasons, prior to 1957. New York Yankees’ Elston How ard has been hit only twice. Hen ry Aaron, the Milwaukee outfield er and potentially baseballs best hitter, has been hit only eight times in four seasons.

Clowns, Black Yankees Thrill “Dee Gee" Crowds WASHINGTON (ANP) The \ Indianapolis Clowns and New' York Black Yankees climaxed a highly successful Eastern swing at Grif fith Stadium here Thursday as the Black Yankees shutout the Clowns. 3-0, before nearly 5,500 fans.. Behind five-hit pitching by Ray Belmes, the Yankees jammed three runs into one big inning to seal the victory All of the tallies, however, were unearned as two costly miseues, coupled with two fielder's choices and a single ! by rightfielder Billy McDani els produced the markers in • (he fifth frame. Mike Franks, sensational fireball j hurler of the Clowns, outpitched j Holmes allowing the Yanks but i four scattered blows, but the brief Brooks Lawrence trade to Cincin nati was a bad one l , has been vin- : cheated by the work, of .Tones this year. He might well have been on the way to a 20-game season had not j injury in May sidelined him for ; several weeks As of this writing, ; he had won eight, and lost, three | with three complete games in his 4-game victory streak Jones’ bugaboo had always been his wild tendency— pri or to this season. Take 1955, his mound record showed 198 strikeouts and 185 walks in 242 innings. That season he won 14 and lost 20. Perhaps the most dramatic example of his propensity for strikeouts and walks was his no-hitter against the Pitts burgh Pirates that year, (joins into the ninth, Jones had struck out three and walked only four The first three Hues he faced in the final frame were Issued passes. Then Tones, in a spectacular finish as you could ever want to see struck out the next three hat ters on 12 pitches. In the clubouse, after the game Stan Hack, then Cubs' manager, ; smiled and said: "One more walk, and he would have had to come out" After he was acquired by the Cards. Lane and field manager Freddie Hutchinson both predicted j that they could curb Jones' wild- J ness. They had him shorten his windup, enabling him to keep his eye on the target better. The results have been very satis factory. His BR total in his first 108 innings was only ,13. At the . same time, he struck out 92, 30 ' in his last 30 innings. When lie has his control, baseball players say. Jones is almost, un- ! beatable. When his control is off i the beam, opposing batters do not ! take a toehold with too much as- j surance, Jones recently scored a big vie- | tory for the Cardinals.

From Sin first through 'be 10th round, Machem fed him a steady stream of hot leather. He was “all shook up" at the end. Throughout the interview.
