Vingo Told to Quit in '47; Fractured Skull as Child By Joe Trimble As Carmine Vingo continued to show improvement at St. Clare's Hospital yesterday, evidence was uncovered that the 20-year-old boxer never should have been permitted in a prize ring. Bronx court records show he sustained a skull fracture when he was two years 5- Costner 13-5 Pick Over Burton in Garden 10 By Gene Ward The rival managers staged a Mutt-and-Jeff act at the Boxing Commission yesterday and stole the show from their own main-eventers, George (Sugar) Costner and Gene Burton, who were slated for ten rounds of tiffing in the Garden last night with Sugar a 13-5 favorite. old and that in May of 1947 had been advised to quit the ring by a Youth's Term Court judge.

The youngster was hailed into i n.f court ior swiping an auto in iuay 01 li)4t. At mat time, ine juage noted in the record that the boy had fallen from a window at the age of two and, because of the injury sustained then, was left with "partial asphasia and defective hearing." Aphasia is the loss or impairment of power to use or understand speech, resulting from a brain lesion. WARNED BY JUDGE When arraigned. Carmine had been in seven bouts as an amateur. He was placed on probation for one year, under the Youthful Offender Law, the terms of the probation being that he give up the ring for a year and give serious consideration to quitting the fight game entirely.

The judge added a warning, which proved prophetic, that the lad ought to hang up his gloves "before winding up in an asylum or being injured for life." Dr. Vincent Nardiello. Boxing Commission physician who has been handling the case, said that X-rays of Vingo's head do not show any fracture. According to. him, the passage of time would not re- take the Dallas job.

Thus, once formalities are over, Grimm will become the highest paid manager in minor league baseball. WILL TOP CUBS' SALARY Burnett figures he'll have to top Grimm's cub salary to get him to Dallas. But the club owner says he's "ready and willing" to meet Grimm's demands. It was reported that Burnett offered Grimm a contract during the Winter baseball meetings in New York, calling for a flat salary of $25,000 annually plus a percentage of the gate receipts. Dallas last season set a new Texas League attendance record of 404,000 and, with Grimm as manager, Burnett figures it could be upped to 500,000 next season.

Grimm, at a press conference in the office of owner Wrigley, readily admitted that his swivel chair job griped him. That was why he was ready, at 51, to return again to a minor league managerial post. "These hands," solemnly declared Grimm, "were never meant to carry a brief case." With that, he waved the muscular mitts that scooped up many a peg to first in sensational plays and often strummed on his relaxing banjo. DENIES FRICTION Grimm emphatically told the gathered newsmen that there was no friction, as widely reported, between himself and vice-president Jimmy Gallagher. With Gallagher present, Grimm asserted: "Jimmy and I had a baseball job to do.

We had differences of opinion, as is only natural in- this business. But I never had malice towards Gallagher and it ate up oth of us to have public reports describe us as bitter enemies." Gallagher, who lost considerable prestige when Grimm was from manager to vice-president last June 10, chimed in with: "You can say that 100 for me. too." Wrigley said that the Cub front office set-up would not be changed by Grimm's departure, which the chewing gum magnate said he regretted. "We're shopping for a successor to Charlie right now," said Wrigley, "and Grimm and I discussed that subject today." No candidates were mentioned. WOULDN'T STAND IN WAY "We're sorry to lose the services of a man who has been so valuable to the Cub organization for many years as star player, field manager and office executive," said rigley, "but I did not want to stand in the way of Charlie's accepting any 'offer in which he felt he could better himself and be doing the type of work he preferred."

6 (7P). Calumet Farm will gun for Santa Anita's San Pasqual Handicap with both barrels tomorrow, but at least six others in the 14 horse field can make this $50,000 fixture a tough target to hit. If they both go, Calumet's fearsome twosome of Fervent and Ponder will probably be favored on their reputations, if nothing else. Ponder, the Kentucky Derby winner, carries top weight of 125 pounds. Steve Brooks will be in the irons.

Fervent will lug 119 pounds. move evidence of that type of injury. Nardiello was surprised to. hear of the medical background. "We ask every fighter when we examine him whether or not he has ever had an injury to his head," the physician pointed out, "and Vingo said he hadn't.

We knew of the defective hearing, his right ear being the one affected. The brain injury is on the left side of his head." LEG STILL PARALYZED Dr. Nardiello, reverting to his patient's condition, then said, "I'm certain he is going to come through all right. He was able to move his left arm a little this afternoon and that is encouraging. The paralysis in his left leg remains, though." Vingo had a visitor, too.

Rocky Marciano went to the hospital to see the doctor, complaining of a sore right arm. This turned out to be inconsequential, so Nardiello took him up to Vingo's room. "Here's the fellow who knocked you out," Nardiello said. The pair shook hands and chatted a bit. It was a sixth-round blow by Marciano just a week ago last night which tore Vingo's brain and came close to making him the 19th ring fatality of 1949.

He sustained a four-inch gash over his left eye last Wednesday as the Ramblers were losing to Brigham Y'oung, 54-45! Bluitt is one of nine lettermen returning from the club which went to the finals of the NIT tourney last year. They lost the title to San Francisco by a point, 47-48. The Westerners are big, their starting five averaging 6:2. Their record is 6-6. St.

John's will have AI McGuire in the lineup, his ankle injury is practically healed. Coach Frank McGuire figures he'll be 80 himself, rather than the 20 he was as he tried to hobble along in the wake of City's whirring Ed Warner on Tuesday night. While their welterweights failed the Fairbanks 147 -a to 146'2, the edge belonging to Costner the pilots palavered in a corner and agreed to a Charley Fusari-Ray Robinson title battle for the Garden in March. Big George Gainford, who handles Sugar Ray, the 147-pound kingpin, squared off with pint-sized Vic Marsillo, Fusari's boss, and after several loud claims and counter-claims as to who had been ducking who, came to an agreement. The I BO matchmaker, Al Weill, was on hand to give his blessing, but he still has to get the contracts signed.

PRODUCES TELEGRAM It was a noisy and convincing demonstration while it lasted, and Gainford carried the act right cn uptown to IBC headquarters where he made Weill produce a telegram. In this document, the champ, Robinson, challenges the challenger, Fusari, to put up or shut up, or words to that effect. But, at last reports, Marsillo had not put in an appearance to bind the bargain. The odds on last night's battle of the mustaches had jumped to 2V2-0 in the betting spread, Costner the choice. It looked as though none of the smart-money boys wanted any part of Robinson's stablemate, Burton, on the theory he wouldn't be trying too hard to spoil boss Kay's next scheduled show.

You see, Costner is signed to meet Robinson in Philadelphia's Convention Hall, Feb. 22. 'Nuffsaid? HARD-HITTING WELTER Besides, Costner is a slugger and Burton a boxer. The boys usually go for the big hitter in such a natch. In fact, the tall, wasp-waisted, 26-year-old Negro from Camden may be one of the hardest-hitting welters in the division today, excepting only Sugar Ray.

Of 85 fights, Costner has won 48 by knockouts and has lost only seven, with four draws. Unbeaten in his last 15 starts, he has won eight of his last 11 by kayos. His billy is a left hook. Burton, also 26, has suffered just tiine losses in 66 starts, but there the similarity ends. Gene doesn't starch many rivals, but his fancy Deacons Expel 3, Bar 3 Gridders Wake Forest, N.

C. Jan. 6 Wake Forest College authorities today expelled three star football players and placed three others on probation for cheating on examinations. Involved was the team's top backfield performer, All-Southern Conference halfback Bill Gregus, who was put on probation. Ray Cicia, All-Southern guard, was expelled.

All three on probation will be barred from playing football. The others dropped were Bill George, left tackle, and George Sniscak. right tackle. Right halfback Bill Wilhelm and soph right guard Dick Medelcott are the others under probation. The loss will cripple coach P.

C. (Peahead) Walker's team, which had been touted as a potential powerhouse next Fall. fisticuffing has edged Bernie Docu-scn and Johnny Bratton, and he drew with Kid Gavilan in a thriller. The semi-final 10 was rating equal attention with the main event off its attraction as a neighborhood rivalry. This brought together Paddy Young, Greenwich Village middleweight, against Brownsville's Harold Green, and Young was a 5V-7 favorite.

GREEN HAS EDGE The 21-year-old Young has come fast in recent bouts, but Green has the edge in experience, 75 pro battles to 41. The latter is a resounding body-whacker who twice beat Rocky Graziano, and in his current comeback has won four of five. He's another left hooker. Young's stickout victories have been over Fitzie Pruden, Frankie Palermo, Nick Mistovich and Sal DiMartino. He beat the last-named in December after climbing off the Garden canvas.

The third 10 brings together Morris Reif, another out of Brownsville who is making a comeback, and Pete Kennedy, of White Plains.

ALL LOCALS CHOICES Opening the books and reading from left to right, the Knicks are favored by 5, City by 6i and St John's by 104. Off the form, and the price, the City-Loyola game would seem a more likely selection for the main event. But the Chi-cagoans prefer to play the first game because they will have more time to warm up and get used to the Garden floor.

That one starts at 8:15, 15 minutes later, because the second game is going to be televised and the cameras won't be ready until 10 P. M. City, conqueror of St. John's, may find Loyola a toughie, even though the Chicago team's Negro.
