PAGE FOUR-, Boxing Is American Medical Group Soys Chicago, June 3,. American association's disenchanted view of the fight game showed itself again, this time in a magazine article referring to amateur and professional boxing as "organized mayhem." The'tory, which termed boxing the greatest killer in American athletics, appeared in hygeia, health magazine of the A. M. under the by-line of assistant Managing Editor Thomas Gor- 8 man. Doctors, Gorman wrote, are used for "furnishing a phony re- to an otherwise dubious activity" 1 in boxing circles.

Said he: "Doctors who have pointed out the dangers of organized mayhem based on scientific observations over the are" only permitted, on the' sidelines as members of advisory boards arid as medical-examiners rependent for tlieir fees on the whims of politicians." "Punch Drink" Although GttFfnSS carefully cited the numerous ring fatalities which have occurred in Tecerit years, he went further, asserting that 50 per cent'of all active fighters are punch drunk to some degree. "A boxer doesn't have to be knocked out or have his skull broken to be seriously injured," Skinless Slab Bacon (in piece) wrote. "He may spffer pinpoint hemorrhages or other haftji 4p his brain not outwardly apparent even to the trained physician. i "These injuries can result from any hard blow to the head. tissues not heat as do, other'tissues 6f We body.

Chisox Finally Confess that ng Go on Forever By Charles Einstein InJnrniitloEnl Service Chicago, June: 3, Chicago White Sox put $50,00.0 worth of faith today in an 18- year-old kid from Broken arroW, Oklahoma, to become the riexl Luke'Appling.

.1 Shortstop Jim Baumer, who came home from fiis high school graduation one week ago today' to find eight major league scouts lounging on his doorstep, turned his baseball future over to the chisox for, what Sox officials called "one of the biggest bonuses in baseball history." Shrewdf observers put the bonus sum at fifty grand. Other Bidders The New; York) Yankees, Cleveland Indians and Pittsburgh Pirates were leading bidders for among the young Mr. Baumer's services, which are reported to be services with a capital S. The kid, in the often- maligned language of baseball men, does everything, and goes to his left, too. I The Sox signed him to a con- iract with their Waterloo, ta.j team of the three-I league.

That means jthat as a bonus he'll get a season's worth of minor league experience be- iore the Sox either have to call him up or let him become sub- ect to the baseball draft. Baumer stands six-foot-two, weighs 185 pounds and bats rights. First Confession. His acquisition by the Sox represents the first outright con- ession by club higher-ups that Mr. Appling, the present short- top incumbent, may not go- on orever.

Hitherto, there had been some doubts. Appling, who is fortyish in he full flavor of the term, ciir- ently is in his 19th season of hortstopping for the White Sox His career, sketched briefly, in- places and clutch hitters in the history of basball, also boasts such varied accomplishments having led the American League seven time inj assists, stolen ten bases in 14 tries recently as and being one of the few! remaining at a little-known baseball foul balls. Reid Ruffing, among other pitchers, found the solution to Appling's pitcher-exhausting tactic of fouling off six, seven and eight straight throws. "I never threw him more than five balls," Red said once. "If I didn't have by then, I let um have his base hit.
