NEW YORK, May 11 (UP)—
The squeeze was on today, amid
charge* of mitt monopolies and
cartels of clout, to make French-
man Laurent Dauthuille Middle-
- weight King Jake I^motta’s title
opponent at Yankee Stadium June
That put La Belle France in posi-
tion to come up with a pair of
middleweight champs, because the
National Boxing Ass'n threatened
to recognise the winner of the
Philadelphia bout between Ray
(Sugar) Robinson and Frenchman
Robert Villemain.
Dauthuille, the “Tarzan of Bu-
zenval,” didn’t appear too concern-
ed over the outcome, which bred a
suspicion that his match with La-
motta already was in the bag and
the NBA would recognize that win-
ner as champion with a proviso
that the victor engage the Robin-
son-Villemain survivor.
Working with gusto on a steak
which could only have come from
a mighty large steer, I-aureht mut-
tered around the man-sized chunks,
that he'd fight 'em alji \1 the price
was right.
His wife, pettite, red-haired, with
large blue eyes, jiicked at her food
and worried.
“I do not like him to fight,’’ she
whispered through an interpreter.
"I do not like to think he might
get hurt. But I Would rather go
see him fight than listen to those
radio announcers. Then I don’t
know what's happening, whether
he is hurt had or not.”
Up to now, Laurent has been
doing ritost of the hurting. He
started at an early age, when he
was workihg wiU» his father, a
trolley car mechanic. One night,
Laurent started'for a movie but
dropped into a local fight club. A
broad-shouldered youngster with
owerful arms, his mates already
dubhed him the ‘‘Tarzan of
Buzenval.” Young Tarzan watched
the fight club show scornfully and
made the statement to a friend
, that “I could lick most of those
bums.”
Then he had to prove it, and, in
so doing, won the French amateur
middleweight title. From there it
was a short step to the pro prize
ring in 1044.
One of his first major bouts was
in 1947, when he lost a decision
to Villemain. The next year he
tried again, and failed once more.
“That was before he really devel- !
oped,” explained Col. John Grom-
harh, who has a “piece” of Ijrurent
and was the one who hurled the
charges that the International Box-
ing Club manipulated a U. S.-
Frenoh cartel which the Dauthuille
camp was out to break.
taurent came to this country lost
year and created a sensation when
he decisioned Lamotta at Montreal.
After that he kayoed Johnny
Greco, won over Sonny Horne and
then dropped the duke to Kid
an. But he ftgui
tain

Court to Decide
Who Kayoed Ivan
JOLIET, m„ May It (UP>—
The police court docket today list-
ed Ivan “The Terrible” Rasputin
vs. Harry “Kid West” Westilus, a
58-vear-old watchman.
It was a grudge match over
who threw a monkey wrench into
the wrestling match works last
night.
Rasputin was mixing it up. with
Walter Palmer in the main event at
the Catholic High School gym.
Things got pretty rough-and-
tumble and the two wrestlers tum-
bled out of the ring onto the floor.
They continued the tussle there.
Suddenly, everything: went black
for Rasputin. Somebody slugged
him with a monkey wrench kept
under the ring. '
Rasputin was carted out of the
arena and Dr. L. N. Lucas sewed
up his scalp.
He (ater pointed an accusing
finger at Westilus and signed
a disorderly conduct complaint
against him.
Westilus denied everything.
“A-ha,”.exclaimed Ivan and of-
fered to withdrawn the charges if
police would permit him to wrestle
Westilus to one fall.
But Police Captain Joseph Triz-
na shook his head. He ruled that
the police court would make the
decision.
MAYOR CANT QUIT
BOXUiTex. (UP)—E. W. Schaef-
fer can’t get away from the job
of kgmg mayor. He resigned in
October of 11*40 but he’s in again,
after refusing to run in the spring
campaign. A silent write-in cam-
paign was responsible.
Stephenvitle’s Yellow Jackets,
scenting a District 6-AA cham-
pionship, turned on the power at
the plate Wednesday afternoon and
shut out the Mineral Wells nine
by a 4 to 0 score.
It was three victories in four
games for Stephcnville, and made
another meeting with Mineral
Wells unnecessary. The third game
gave the Jackets three out of five
and an automatic district cham-
pionship.
Leat Only One Game
The Jackets had taken the first
game handily, but dropped the
second. They picked up the third,
giving them two wins, then zeroed
Mineral Wells Wednesday for the
third and final victory.
The win entitles the Jackets to
continue their quest for baseball
honors, with regional play coming
up.
Browns Building:
—Not SeHin*
NEW YORK, May 11 (UP)—
Vice-resident Charles DeWitt of
the St. Louis Browns said,today
“we could get $600,000 in five
minutes” for four key Brownies
but "we have turned it down be-
cause we’re building, not selling.”
During the winter the Browns
were made bona fide offers of
$200,000 for outfielder Roy
$160,000 each for pitchers Ned
Garver and Cliff Fannin, and $100,-
000 for Dick Kokos, an outfielder
“who will be worth considerably
more than that as time goes on,”
he said.
His and his brother, Bill DeWitt,
president of the Browns, have re-
fused two “definite cash-in-hand
offers to bay the ball club,” he
added.
“We had to toil them in the fixat.|a
place that the club was not for
sale at the kind of money they
offered," he sSW. “We also had to
tell them the club wasn’t for sale
at all for anybody who wanted to
move it away from St. Louis.”

If the Dodgers want to buy Raf-

pay through the nose. He never
looked better in boating them.
Preacher Roe matched him for five
scoreless frames, then gave up two
runs on doubles by Grady Hatton,
Boh Usher and Virgil Stallcup. Re-
liefer Rex Barney yielded two more
in the eighth, setting ’em up him-
self when he failed to touch first
l>aae on a grounder fielded by Gil
Hodges.
Roe failed although he was go-
ing with eight days rest against a
team that had lost seven straight
games. That’s typical of the way
the Bums’ pitching staff has flop-
ped in six of their last 10 games.
The scrappy Phillies had their

At Chicago, in the only day game

Boston with one on, but the Brave*
committed four errors and every
one of them figured in the scoring.
The Athletics, in their night
game at Philadelphia, gave up
three unearned runs with two out
in the ninth inning and lost to the
Cleveland Indians, 6 to 4. With two
down, Lou Boudreau reached re-
liefer Bob Hooper for a single. Jim

runner Bob Avila raced for home

doubled Hegan home with the win-
ning run and scored himself on a
wild pitch.
At Washington, the Senators
scored five runs in the fifth inning
to beat the Chicago White Sox,
