LAMOTTA RISKS CROWN AGAINST YOUNG MITRI BY JACK CUDDY NEW YORK. (UP). With a physician in his corner, unpopular Jake LaMotta of New York will attempt Wednesday night hi.s first defense of the World middleweight hand.some young Tibcrio Mitri of Italy, best 160-pounder. In the white glare of Madison Square ring lights, atocky, bull-shouldered LaMotta will try to keep the hoodoo title that brought bad luck and untimely death to Marcel Ccrdan, Vince Dundee. Tiger Flowers, Harry Greb, Billy Papke.

Stanley Ketchel and Kid McCoy. LAMOTTA WAS favored at 7-5 because he is champion, because he is so rugged he never was knocked off his feet in 93 professional fights, and because he has a withering attack that wears down most opponents. But his personal physician. Dr. Filippo Brunori of the Bronx, will be in corner becau.se the at 28, has gone thru a difficult ordeal in paring down to the 160-pound limit for the first time since he the title from the late Marcel Cerdan at Detroit, June 16, 1949.

GordonAdds Lincoln Shut Out Oil Four Hits. 5-0 Radio Blast agree absolutely with George statement that the death of minor leagues is inevitable if television and broadcasts of major league games in our minor league cities are allowed to Howard C. Gordon, business manager of the Lincoln Athletics, declared Tuesday night.

Trautman is president of the National Association of Professional Baseball leagues of which the Western loop is a member. Trautman, in an As.sociatcd Press dispatch from Chicago Tuesday afternoon, pointed out that during the first month of play some 444 minor league clubs had suffered an attendance drop of over 1,000,000 fans. He placed the blame directly on broadcasts and telecasts of major league games in minor league territory. CONDITIONS, particularly on both coasts, bear out Mr. Gordon continued.

He. Our own Western league Is far below last year in attendance, ai I while part of the loss can be traced to the weather this past spring, the factors Trautman mentioned are obvious. International league club folded and the franchise was moved to Springfield, Mass. Lack of attendance which prompted the move was traced directly to telecasts of close-by major league games. in this country it worked this way: People hearing an afternoon broadcast of a major league game often feel that they have had enough baseball for the day and pass up the home contest at night.

That is especially true in cities harboring a second division club or a losing team. OWN attendance is way off no doubt due to a combination of standing of the team especially after we have had a pennant winner, plus the conditions I have mentioned above. feel certain that baseball men will do something about it soon. We operate without cash Gordon is the sole Lincoln representative of the Philadelphia- owned Lincoln club other than player personnel under contract. iiAMK OKK; TWO Hhowem night morning Hnwnrd tionlon to txHitponr thr Rri-imd gnnte of Ihr Miouv Hy KIrld arhrdulrd for nighl.

Latest pitcher to enjoy a night at the expense was hander Charley Bishop who fashioned a four-hitter as Sioux City chalked up a 5-0 victory at Sherman Field, Bishop was never in trouble as his mates scored early to hand Mason Bowes his tenth loss against five wins. The loss dropped Lincoln to seventh place and moved the Soos to within a game of the Omaha Cards. Bowes pitch ball ball, in fact, the Soos managed only six hits for the evening.

But where their bingles were bunched and carried some power, the Lincoln bats rang spasmodically and very seldom in the same inning. Only two Athletic runners got as far as third base and one other marie it to second. SIOUX CITY got to Bowes for two for the a walk and doubles by Ed Samcoff and Daryl Spencer in the first. Ray Katt poked a sixth inning homer over the left field fence for the third tally. Jack Malloy, who came on in the eighth after Bowes left for a pinch hitter, gave up the final two tallies in the ninth.

In that frame the Soos used tw'o walks, a sacrifice that loaded the bases on a choice by Malloy, and Bob error to push home the pair of unnecessary runs. .500 .545 .461 .430 .355 .515 .543 .489 .801 .310 3 lOVk IB 11 IT WAUY OMOWN They say you tell the depth of a well by the liength of the handle on the but the head of the Inst of Human Relations says the size "and shape of a man oftea affects tus success.

Two of those years, 1948 and 1949, were profitable ones. Will Philadelphia continue to operate in Lincoln? We think so. The relationships have been most cordial. Lincoln is the only CI ms A club owned outright by the American league club. Agreements between the Philly and the Lincoln Civic Baseball Park anociatlon have been entirely verbal to date.

Philadelphia pays a certain amount of rent each year to the association that covers certain expenses such as insurance. In turn Philadelphia maintains the park, stands and parking areas. The May flood cost the Lincoln club, the Philadelphia club, which ever you may choose, in the neighborhood of $12,000. Philadelphia, therefore, has an investment in Lincoln as well as a ball club. RIGHT NOW we expect any prospective change in the ownership of the parent club to affect us here other than possibly in management and player personnel.

Our hope is that in another year Philadelphia will place a winning team in Lincoln. Then I believe we will have to worry too much about television and radio. That belief applies only to our local situation. Telecasts and broadcasts are definitely seriously affecting attendance in other sections of the country as Mr. Trautman so ably pointed out.
