At least the cash customers believe in Rocky's ability. Wednesday night more than 61,000 saw him take out Moore in nine rounds. As far back as 1952, the writers were taking digs at Pocky. He had a large hunk of prestige chipped from his stature when he wasn't able to knock feeble Lee Savold off his feet. Exhausted.

The stories aid physical exhaustion finally forced Savold to retire to his corner before the start of the seventh round. These words were used again Thursday following Rocky's knockout over Moore. Maybe Marciano is carrying a cross for his manager, Al Weill, who is as popular as a policeman writing a parking ticket. One writer says Weill rushes through life like a man whose pocket lias just been picked and is searching for a cop. Fens Jimmy Cannon of the New York Post: "Weill 13 a squat man, shifty and devious, gutterwise and ungrammatical.

They will return to Manhattan by plane immediately after the game. "We didn't have any trouble in picking a traveling squad," said Coach Bus Mertes.

"We've only got 4S players out and we had a 4t-place plane." Eleven Wildcats listed on the pre-season roster are not available because of injury or having dropped football. "Yon couldn't It is now believed that Lane is scheduled to have a talk with August Busch, owner of the St. Louis Cardinals, who is in Chicago on business. Reached at his private railroad car here earlier Friday before Lane's resignation was accepted by the White Sox, Busch said that the Cardinals are definitely Interested in talking to Lane. It's assumed, that should Lane go to the Cardinals, it would be as general manager.

Dick Meyer, present Cardinal general manager, would return to his regular job as an ofhcial of Busch's brewery. Lane, whose contract had been effective until 1960, asked for his release Thursday, climaxing a feud with Mrs. Co-miskey's son. Chuck, who is vice-president of the American League club. Mrs.

Comiskey suggested that Lane remain on the job until such technical matters as player transfers and filing of reserve and selection lists were cleared up. Lane's letter of resignation Thursday specified he would appreciate his release by Oct. 15 to take care of such details. Presumably this would delay Lane's expected signing with the Cardinals as general manager. Successor? There was no indication by Mrs.

Comiskey that a successor to Lane would be chosen immediately. Mrs. Comiskey said she regretted that illness had prevented her from seeing Lane his return with the White Sox from an ill-fated road trip last Monday. Mrs. Comiskey stressed that during Lane's seven-year regime as general manager she had "accepted every recommendation you made of player trades and expenditures in an effort to win a pennant." "I was as disapponted as you and many loyal White Sox fans were that the ball club was unsuccessful in winning a pennant this year." Search Begins.

It was learned that Chuck Comiskey's visit to the World Series at Brooklyn and presumably New York might produce a new general manager. Most prominently mentioned candidate is Jimmy Gallagher, business manager of the Chicago Cubs, who is a personal friend of Mrs. Comiskey and was a Comiskey Park visitor frequently this season. Bill Veeck, firmer president of the Cleveland Indians and St. Louis Browns, also has paid his respects often at Comiskey Park.

Lane's salary with the White Sox was $50,000 yearly. ask for anything Iowa's 'Other Guard1 Rodger Swedberg will start at guard for Iowa Saturday against Kansas State.

Herbert S. Levin, deputy attorney general, expressed surprise when Ferrante revealed the deal for the Smith-Carter fight. "Y'ou mean the commitment i was not to the fighter, but to the manager?" he asked. Ferrante said he and Graziano had been promised a championship match between tiiardello and middleweight champion Carl (Bobo) Olson, but that it fell through.
