ftHUKSDAY AFTERNOON, JUNE 10, 1954 today's Sports Parade By OSCAR FRALEY United Press Sports Writer NEW YORK (IP) A fighter who thinks too much arid one whose desire is “never to be known as a bum,” go at it in Madison Square Garden Friday night in what should be a pretty fair scuffle. The former is Joey Giardello, a young Philadelphian who blames his last defeat on being “mentally depressed.” The latter is Bobby Jones, a clouthing dbmmuter born in Louisiana, raised in Texas and who fights out of Califor nia. This is the fight you will 'recall for which Jones alleg ■ ®<Hy was offered a $15,000 bribe to demonstrate his high diving ability. Giardello regarded the bribe offer as an insult to his own proficiency. In this he is upheld by the oddsmakers, who apparently do not believe that Jones could knock him out with a hatchet in each hand, for they have installed Joey as a 2 to 1 favorite. Far From Certain Still it is far from the sure thing which certain gen tlemen without sporting instincts tried to make it. The 28- year-old Jones may not be the greatest puncher in the world, or even one of the greatest in his native Opelousas, Lou., but he is a tough man on whom to lower the cur tains and he is a fine boxer. Bobby’s record is nothing to give middleweight cham pion , Bobo Olson the jitters, for he has won only 37 of 64 bouts, losing 19 and earning eight draws. Only five of his victories have been by knockout, which is considerably over par for the course. Yet he may be described as a late comer.. He had, at one time, difficulty getting bouts. Thus he had to fight heavier men. On one occasion he spotted 01, , son 12 pounds and contends even now he won the decision which went against him. He also gave away poundage in losses to Willie Troy and Johnny Bratton. But he started YOUR HOME -OF - FRIENDLY - SERVICE 2 BIG DAYS REMAIN-FRI. AND SAT.

WASHINGTON (IP President j Eisenhower told a news conference today that the United States faces a truly serious international situ ation with communism, a situation ' which he said might last as much as 40 years. In a philosophic mood, the Presi dent agreed that the dangers far ing the United States today are greater than about any other time in the history of the country. He was asked about a statement recently by Adm. Robert B. Car ney, chief of naval operations, that the dangers facing the United States today are greater than ever before. The President said he did not like to use such terms because dan ger is a comparative situation But h e added that he thinks the ques tion before the country today is whether we are in a truly serious situation. He said the answer is inescap ably “yes.” Red Success Puzzling The President apologized to the newsmen for talking at such length but said he is deeply puzzled -about appeal of communism to per sons outside the Iron Curtain. He said he is puzzled about the fact that some of the best educated men MIAMI BEACH (IP! Rugged , Ernie Durando of Bayonne.

Griffith heard that the New ’ York Yankees wouldn’t let Orioles 1 fans bring noise-makers Into Yan_ - kee Stadium during a recent series. NEW YORK OP> Time is run ning out on the New York Yankees ’ in their determined bid to swing -a deal that might help win a sixth straight pennant and Manager Casey Stengel is just about re -1 conclled to going along with what 1 he has.

IW New York Giants Manager Leo Du rocher was all smiles today about his latest acquisition, pitcher Paul Biel, and Immediately said he had the trait which "made all great Giant pitchers.” “He has a low fast hall,” Durocher said. “You’ve got to have that in the Polo Grounds because of those short foul lines. They can belt you all over the □eld down the middle.” Leo said, "but you’ve got to have a low ball pitcher to keep them from lifting them down the foul lines.” VIRGINIA Beach, Va. «P De fending champion Doug Ford of ] , Kiamesha Lake, N.
