Big Spring Brones
By The Associated Press
The spirits of the league-lead-
ing Big Spring Brones are slight-
ly damp today, with second-place
Vernon half a game closer to the
top in the Longhorn league base-
ball race.
Big Spring’s game with Ros-
well, N. M., was rained out last
night with the Brones leading,
7-2, in the last of the fourth. The
game does not count.
Vernon, now only two games
behind Big Spring, scored three
runs in the sixth inning to defeat
Sweetwater, 3-0.

Citation’s Health
Okay, Says Trainer
NEW YORK, May 26 (A) —
What’s all this talk about Cita-

“That’s just a lot of pure bunk,”

At times he was a crusty in-
dividual. He did considerable
growling, and his power probably
made him a frightening figure to
the managers of fighters who
hoped to get their boys a golden
shot in Madison Square Garden.
Over the country many persons
who regarded “Uncle Mike’s” mo-
nopoly as an evil thing would say
“why do you write about the guy
gave him his chance, and he re-
warded him with unwavering
loyalty.

prove that their business was se-
riously affected. Jacobs claimed
the contrary, that the game pros-
pered countrywide as he held out
the promise of a big payoff to any
young fighter who made good.
It made little difference which
man won, for he had both of
them sewed up anyhow. He did,
however, own a genuine fondness
for Joe Louis, and it would have
been a sad night for Mike if he
had ever seen Joe drop his title.
The feeling was mutual. The

farm said today of varipus rumors
that the great 1948 three-year-
old champion was just about on
his last legs and ready for a
penion.
Citation hasn't raced since he
-popped an osselet in winning the
Tanforan handicap last Dec. 11.
“We’re not going to put him on
anv time schedule,” Jones said
with definite finality. “The horse
is all right, and is sound. We’re
in no rush, so why should every-
body be so worried?
The trainer said Citation would
leave with other Calumet horses
for Chicago and the Arlington
and Washington Park summer
meetings. Arlington’s meeting
opens June 20.

Jacobs, whose retirement ended
another era in boxing.)
By GAYLE TALBOT
NEW YORK, May 26 (PP) —
There were many facets to the
character of Mike Jacobs who,
old and sick, is abdicating as the
country’s boxing ruler after a
long and absolute reign.

Marshall Browns
Add to League Lead
By The Associated Press
The Marshall Browns are
breathing a bit easier today atop
the East Texas league after ex-
tending their lead to a game and a
half.
Marshall came from behind last
night to defeat the Gladewater
Bears, 5-2. Kilgore beat Hender-
son, 9-3, to climb into a second-
place tie with Longview. Paris
replaced Gladewater in fourth
spot by trouncing Longview, 9-2,
and Bryan beat Tyler, 8-5.
The Browns scored two runs
each in the third and seventh in-
nings and one in the eighth to win
easily.
Kilgore’s Bruce Divers hit two
ap- games and lost only four as a
who j hurler with Sherman-Denison
• re- last year, succeeds Red Brown.

— or if you’re going to write
about him, why don’t you
blast him for ruining the fight
game?”
A common picture of the old
ticket hustler was that of a
greedy octopus, seizing every-
thing in sight and making it ex-
tremely tough on the pure, hon-
est characters in the fight racket.
This observer, for one, always
tried to explain rather lamely
that Mike wasn’t quite that bad,
that boxing under Jacobs’ stew-
ardship was not noticeably worse
than it had been before he moved
in some 15 years ago.
True, Mike had used a thick
bankroll to “buy up” all the im-
portant titles, and the popular
belief that he had political con-
nections in the city of his birth
possibly was not unfounded. But
still, and on the other hand:
Mike had put on a great many
good fights. Never before had the
heavyweight title been in such
active contention. Never, so far as
anyone knew, had a fighter on
one of Jacobs’ cards been told by
the promoter or one sof his assis-
tants to do other than his best.
Sure, if a fighter wanted to win
a title and get into the big mon-
ey, he had to come to New York
City and do business with Mike’s
firm. But that, after all, was the
dream of every boxer—to fight
at Madtson Square Garden. So
who was being hurt?
Promoters in other cities
warmly resented the Twentieth’s
monopoly, but it was difficult to
