Boxer Takes Unanimous Nod; Johnson, Turner Knockout Victors By JOHN WEBSTER In the wake of blood-and-thunder violence that began with the night's first bell and ended abruptly at the intermission, welterweights Tommy Ciarlo and Eddie Giosa showed little more than forbearance as they went 10 uneventful rounds to a Ciarlo decision last night at the Arena.

Their meeting, witnessed by 4463 paying customers who produced a $15,926 gate, headed Frank Palumbo's show for the benefit i tl dark-horse Giants and Cubs and perhaps beat off a hallenge from the potentially-dangerous Boston Braves or elderly Cards. They also must flout a National League tradition, building these late years, which has erected, in effect, this sign at the threshold of the throne-room: "Champions, don't let the last putout find you hre!" In the course of the last 11 flag races, only one club has been successful In ignoring that warning. This occurred before the custom had become well established. Th club was. as you may remember, the Csrdinals who won in 1942, that fall being marked not only by their triumph btt also by the fact their master builder, Br.inch Rickey, left St.

Louis for a construe; ion job in Brooklyn. Nevertheless, tht.t Cardinals team, one of the greatest in NL history, and one which Rickey helped put together, went on to win pennants in 1943 and 1944, when he had depart 3d. -WJJ) MUmma.l ii Mm I I I II IIIHIIU I llll II llll lllllll ll I llllll II.IU.JIl BIIPIIMIIIIIIII 111 I I tr X.

J. 1ST FIGHT HERE Making his first appearance here, Ciarlo, 14812, Waterbury. gained the unanimous decision of Referee Charley Daggert (6-2-2) and Judges Frank Knaresborough (6-4) and Lou Tress (6-3-1). Though no ring stylist. Ciarlo, a replacement for injured Billy Graham, appeared a willing sort, and carried a clubbing attack of hooks and swings to Giosa, 143, South Philadelphia, at most points.

When stung to action by Ciarlo's charges and lashing, if not disabling, blows, Giosa occasionally retorted with stiff, sweeping lefts that plunked home with enough bang to suggest he might have done better. But punch production was at a low ebb with the stubby downtowner this night, and his lassitude had much to do with making the bout the drowsy thing it became. However, Jack Puggy's annual matchmaking chore was an over-all success, and it seemed probable the Deborah Sanatorium's funds were benefited quite some. And that should be enough to offset a sleepy-time finale, particularly after the MIAMI, Jan. 22 (AP).

C. B. Bonn's Deluge and Maine Chance Farm's The Poet, both outsiders, launched their 1951 debuts auspiciously at Hialeah Park before 15,762 who wagered $1,123,629 today, accounting for the two sections of the Allapattah Purse. Deluge, inactive since Nov. 23 atf Bowie, won the first half of the rac by 10 lengths in the sensational time of 1:24 3-5 on a dead track, while, The Poet charged home first by a.

NYU. Brooklyn College, St. John's and St. Francis also were invited but failed to appear. STATEMENT ISSUED Dr.

Metcalfe and Brother Tomas conferred for an hour and a half and then Issued a statement which came out four-square against throwing basketball games. There was no constructive policy suggested and both presidents refused to answer questions. Brother Tomas did admit, however, that he "would favor conference of top administrative officials some time in the future." The formal statement, made jointly by the two presidents, attempted to explain away the snubs by pointing out the conference was called on short notice (last Friday night) but the United Press learned that many of the other college heads simply did not want to become nvolved in the discussion. KELLOGG PRAISED The statement which Dr. Metcalfe and Brother Tomas issued said nothing more than it was a fine thing for player Junius Kellogg to have exposed the attempted fixing of the Manhattan-DePaul game the incident which touched off the whole affair and that "'we are confident such evils as recently revealed will t- eliminated." Informed that Dr.

Grayson Kirk, Columbia provost, had declined to attend because "Columbia does not play any games off the university campuses and therefore the problem is not ours," Dr. Metcalfe repeated his refusal to answer any questions. Fordham obviously lined up alongside Columiba regarding the problem of gambling in college as a Madison Square Garden problem. Brooklyn College and St. Francis, two other schools which do not play in the Garden, apparently took the same view.

NYU was not present because Dr. James L. Madden, acting chancellor, was scheduled to meet with his council. Dr. Madden offered to send a representative but none showed up.

Harry D. Wright, CCNY president, also declined to attend. high-powered punching that was earlier on view. JOHNSON KO WILKERSON Whipping a shattering right to SLUGGING IT OUT IN 10TH ROUND OF FIGHT AT ARENA Eddie Giosa (right) drills right hand to body of Tommy Ciarlo near the end of their bout last night. Ciarlo won unanimous decision in feature of benefit card.

Otherwise, no National team, starting with the 1940 season, was 8ble to win a pennant and retain it the following year. That was Cincinnati's last year of triumph, and though the Redlegs outlasted Detroit. 4-3, in the World Series, they wound up third behind Brooklyn in 1941. The '41 Dodgers, of which PeeWee Reese is currently the sole survivor, continued the old Brooklyn custom of winning the Sag and losing the Series. Trat Dodger team, piloted by a very loud Leo Durocher, began a r.ew routine that of losing to the Yankees and faded out on a 4-1 reckoning.

Baseball then moved into war times and the Cardinal period of ascendancy. With Billy Southworth at the helm, the Red Birds routed the Yanks, 4-1, in 1942, and lost to Joe McCarthy's Bronx Bombers in five games the following October. Southworth piloted his third flag-winner in a row in '44. and his second Series-winning club in three years when the Cards defeated their fellow townsmen, the Browns, in a six-game Series. When the Cards took second money behind the Cubs in 1945, Southworth took a walk at season's end, taking over the reins in Boston.

Accustomed as he was to champions, the late Samuel Breadon, then owner of the St. club, could not brook the role of runnerup. In that Series the Cuos lost to Detroit's Tigers in a Series stretching out the full seven jousts. However, when Eddie Dyer, in i is freshman year at St. Louis, brought the Cards to the top again in 1946, the Cubs had receded to third place.

That was a lively Sei ies, the costly Boston Red Sox having won the American League laurels and established themselves as pre-season favorites thereafter and even unto this day. Nevertheless, with Harry (The Cat) Brecheen winning three decisions, and the Cards showing no sign of age or pain, the NL club jarred the Boston heroes, 4-3. With Burt Shotton filling in for lanished-by-Happy-Chandler-Durocher in 1947, and replacing a reinstated and chastened Lip in '48, the Dodgers took the '47 and the '49 pennants. It was a sharp, stirring tussle with the Yankees in the first instance for a 4-3 defeat, and just a matter of playing the five games in the sec-end. In the intervening year, 1948, Southworth came back with his fourth triumph when he got the Brakes home.

THOUGH well-regarded in the Wigwam of Southworth, Spahn and Sain, the Braves were not the league's greatest champions. In the evaluation of that club. I preferred at one time the commentary of Joe Louis to all others. This was in June, 1949, shortly after Ezzard Charles had oitpointed Jersey Joe Walcott Jot the world's heavyweight title. Somebody remarked to Joe that Ezzard wasn't much, that he could n't whip one side of the Old Bomber, or any other bona fide titleholder.

"Mavbe not," mused Louis. "Maybe he couldn't. But don't forget he's th best champion we got kind o' like the Braves!" Well. Cleveland took the Braves' measure, 4-2, in the World Series. But the more I see of Charls, the less of a parallel there eems to have been in Joe's remark.

The Braves weren't that bad! So, vou see how NL precedent frowns upon any thought of Sawyer and his fiery Phillies a return engagement in the Series come autumn. But I do think it's time for a change, and an NL Series victory for a change. Barring accident or unforeseen handicap, our Phillies should be up to blasting a fairly recent custom, and then perhaps those American Leaguers. There is positively no rule against repetition in the American League. In that circuit, it is the custom for the Red Sox to win the pennant during March and early April and spend the balance of the spring and the summer losing it to the Yankees.

Lawson Robertson Dies; World-Famed Track Coach NFL Owners Still Deadlocked Dusty Wilkerson's chin-point, Harold Johnson, 174, muscular Mana-yunk light heavyweight, knocked out the 180-pound North Philadel-phian in the fourth round of a scheduled 10-rounder. Crashing heavily upon his back, the Duster rolled over and was vainly essaying to arise when Referee Zach Clayton counted him out at 2:04. Johnson, who gained punch control early, dropped Wilkerson for "nine" in the opening round when he lashed him with two rights and a follow-up left hook on the jaw. Dusty stormed back when his wits had cleared, but virtually every exchange was a bad bargain for him. He'd been shaken violently with head punches shortly before Johnson produced the coup de grace.

It was Harold's second knockout victory since his return from a long absence from fistic activities, occasioned by a back injury suffered in He was ridden by Frankie Bone, fourth leading jockey of 1950, and" paid $23.50. $0.60 and $5.50.

LONGSHOT DISQUALIFIED The first disqualification of the meeting, now five days old, came when the stewards set back Tamarack Stable's 14-1 shot Tiger Scout from first and placed him last the fourth event. Tiger Scout, ridden by Delmaf Jones, was penalized for bothering both Texas Reward and Hambone during the running of the seven-furlong race. CHICAGO, Jan.
