Now all they need are a main event and some preliminaries. The preliminaries will offer no problem, but main-event fighters take an unpleasantly snobbish attitude those das toward promoters who don't pay the television minimum, $2100 for 10 rounds. If it hasn't become Impossible for a promoter lo operate without television, tli burden of proof is on Miles and DeLuca.

At Heidelberg, they will be on their own. TV there is out of the question because Heidelberg is an open-air park and no sponsor will take a chance on a rain-out. Both the International Boxing Club and Ray Arrcl's organization would be willing to put on TV shows in Pittsburgh with the co-operation of the Rooney-MrOinley Club except for one Ihing. Pittsburgh's only indoor arena, The Gardens, is occupied by the hockey team every Wednesday and Saturday ately available to put up the bail, so Henry was returned to prison. Magistrate Thomas H.

He was charged with offering Middleweight Bobby Jones of Oakland, $15,000 to "take a dive" in the next Friday night's bout against Joey Giardello of Philadelphia in Madison Square Garden. Henry reached his highest standing in the heuviuwyhl division after an kayo of Pittsburgh's Bob Baker at Madison Square Garden on Nov. 23, 11.

Baker was third-rated at, the time. Robert Melnick, Jones' eastern representative, told Hogan he believed Jones had been approached by three different fix rings attempting to induce him to throw the fight. Melnick said, however, the bribe attempt might have been the work of a national syndicate.

Squawks against television issue with regularity from the officials of the National Boxing Assn. Whether they like it or not, however, television is here to stay, and so is the 20th Century, at least for a while. It may be that for heavy weight championship fights, the heyday of the freeloader is past. For every major sporting event, there are millions of potential cash customers, and closed-circuit TV, either in theaters or by the attachment of coin-box de-ices to individual sets, is the one way a promoter can tap them.
