TUESDAY. AUGUST 24, 1948 I I Two Cripples Head British Indoor Bouts By BIU, MACKU.V LONDON, Aug. 24. indoor winter hoxin season open next month with promoter Jack bolomons pinning his hopes for a lot season on two ring cripples, iney are heavyweight Bruce Woodcock, whose jaw was fractured 17 months ago, and I Mills, the world light heavy wc Knl champion, who has a couple of floating bones in his back. If those old favorites can be (aped up to hold together for 15 rounds a few times this winter It looKs like a great season for the fans, who are still Iqpping up boxing at the fanciest prices in the world.

Who knows but (hat Woodcock may win the world heavyweight title right here next year? If your impulse is to call us looney, think back on how dismal were the prospects of Mills winning his world and did it July 26 at White stadium. Woodcock will (op the bill on the opening show at Harringay arena Sept. 21 against an opponent from the United States. From then on Solomons is arranging fortnightly cards, alternating between Harringay and Royal Albert Hall. It is an old formula he has employed successfully since he moved from an east end fish market to a Piccadilly boxing office after the war.

Only Ben Smith has made an effort to challenge Solomons as the leading London promoter, but his shows are infrequent. Woodcock's comeback will answer- the question whether the Brilish champion was permanently injured when Joe Baksi hammered him into submission in April 1947. Bruce has been in a hospital or resting ever since. He has put on weight and vows he is fit. ALTON EVENING TELEGRAPH To Give Program At Carrollton CARROLLTON, AUR.

Quick Abe Greene, National Boxing Association president: "Even though it may be tough on the other heavyweights, the NBA will not sanction another heavyweight bout as a championship contest until we have it in writing from Joe Louis that, he has retired. So far, we've had him. no word from Ezzard Charles: "I don't care if Freddie Mills ever defends his light heavyweight championship.

I'm no longer interested in it. When Gus Lesnevich still had the title, I tried many times to get a fight with him but always was refused. Now I'm after the heavyweight title." Mrs. Flora Bates Sncll Of Carlinville Die. CARLINVILLE, Aug.
