THE TROY RECORD, THURSDAY MORNING, APRIL 19, 1956 31 -Points To Half Million Gate Plans Tournament To Find Rock's Foe New York (AP)--Promoter Jim Norris yesterday revealed plans for a series of heavyweight elimination bouts to provide a September challenger for Champion Rocky Marciano--or a new champ if Marciano retires. Norris, president of the International Boxing Club, patched up his differences with Al Weill, Marciano's manager, at a ''peace dinner" Tuesday night. He is awaiting a meeting between Wcill and Marciano scheduled for tomorrow at Macon, before taking any positive steps. ''There is a feeling around that Kocky may retire," said Norris. "I don't share that feeling.

Our position is this. If we can show Rocky where he can draw a $50,000 gate in September, we think he will fight. It is up to us to come up with a good challenger. We expect a definite word from Rocky within 10 days." Norris mentioned a May 9 match at Miami between Johnny Holman and Bob Baker as one in a series of eliminations. He a id he would try to make a Floyd Patterson-Hurricane Jackson fight soon as he knows definitely Marciano will do.

He seemed particularly high on Machen who whipped Julio Mederos and Nino Valdcs among the contenders.

Weill, preparing to leave toda for Macon where Marciano making an appearance tomorrow, said he was delaying everything until he talked with the champ. Plans Rocky Confab. "I want to talk to Rocky to sec what all this retirement stuff is about," said Weill. I don't know how he feels. Maybe he feels he don't want to fight any more.

I'll go along with Rocky. If he wants to retire nobody could change him and I wouldn't try. "Jim and I had dinner last night, the first time we've talked 3n months. Nothing definite was 'decided. We've still got a few things to discuss." One of the "few things" could be an exclusive contract with the IBC.

The exclusive on Rocky ran out Sept. 19 the day before Marciano's last defense against Moore. Norris said his differences with Weill had resulted from his decision to sell the Mobile Theater Television rights for 75 cents a head instead of $1. "Weill thought we shouldn't have sold for less than $1," said Norris. "Instead of talking it over after the fight, he went his way concluded any laxity was among own employes and not on the part of Laurel.

Feltner reported April 6 that he horse One Throw had been njured intentionally during the night. He scratched the horse from a race that afternoon at nearby Bowie in which he was the early favorite. Feltner said someone had removed a bandage and protective leather boot from the horse's right foreleg and hit him with something like a hammer. Henry H. Hecht, Baltimore owner of the horse, insisted that the commission conduct a complete investigation.

It held two hearings and was assisted in an investigation by the Thoroughbred Racing Protective Bureau. Rinehart said the commission found testimony of Feltner's em- ployes contradictory. He warned the trainer that "any charges like this will have to be well backed up" in the future. Rinehart said the commission couldn't locate Hccht to invite him to the meeting yesterday.

This year, with several starters stay-at- homes because they were four- year men (ineligible, as were Alabama's seniors), Lambert took a scrapped-up array to the NCAA tournament and was defeated by 16 points in the first round Oklahoma City University.

Heydler, 86, former president of the National Baseball League, died yesterday at a suburban rest home where he lived for the last several years as a virtual invalid. He had poor health and eyesight. He leaves his wife who was with him when he died. Funeral services will be conducted at 2 p.m.

tomorrow. Heydler was actively associated with professional baseball for 50 years and was president of the National League from 1918 to 1934. He was made honorary board chairman for life when he retired because of failing health. He was considered one of the most forceful leaders the league I a had. It was largely through his influence that Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis was made the first commissioner of the game to settle its difficulties and rule it with an iron-hand.

He moved to Southern California in 1946 with Mrs. Heydler, whom he married in 1394. His health continued to fail but he was able to attend the 1951 baseball meeting in New York.

Heydler helped bring baseball through the notorious "Blade Sox" scandal of 1919, when gamblers' bribes to World Scries players placed the sport in peril of losing public confidence. The appointment of Landis as the first commissioner resulted from that scandal. Heydler favored Landis, a federal judge with a strong personality. Ban Johnson, American League president, wanted someone connected with the game. Heydler won only after the Chicago White Sox and New York Yankees threatened to withdraw from Johnson's league and cast i their lot with the National.
