Controversy

NEW YORK — While boxer
Beiiny (Kid) Paret fought for
his life in a hospital here, a
storm of controversy raged
throughout official and unoffici
al boxing circles over the fight
in which the former welter
weight champlop suffered a
brain injury,"
Paret was battered Into un
consciousness Saturday night by
Emil Gri^ith. in t|ielr l>oat for
the welterweight crown. Referee
Ruby Goldstein halted the fight
in the 12th round, but by that
time, Paret had already lost con
sciousness.
He was taken to Roosevelt
hospital where surgeons perform
ed brain operation, and, at mid
week, his chances of surviving
were described as slim.
In tiie meantime, Paret’s man
ager, Manuel Alfare, let off a
sharp blast of criticism against
the New York State Athletic
Commission, which clcared Re
feree Goldstein in an investiga
tion called by Governor Rocke
feller immediately after the
bout.
*If Goldstein referees any
more fight* the way he did this
one, some fighters may die.”
