Heavyweight Norvel Lee, the East

Gloves champions it figures will
whip the West easily in the an
nual inter-city bouts here March

Chicago’s Westerners hold ai
wide edge in the series but train

two-time winner of the National

king a year ago.
The rest of the equad, deter
mined in a 24-bout program last

Rivers, a hard-hitting schoolboy
from Niagara Falls, N. Y. The
featherweight is Isaac Chestnut of!
Newark. The bantamweight is:
Ronald Woodland, a Philadela-;
phia Air Force corporal stationed
at Sampson AFB.
The 27-year-old Lee. not re
garded as a good pro prospect be
cause of his age, maintained his
National heavyweight supremacy
by knocking out Lowell’s Oliver
Walker in the first round and then
beating big Harold Johnson of the
Sampson Air Base and Grand .
Rapids, in the final.
Patterson stopped Harold Carter ,
of Newark in 2:36 of the first,
round while Anthony scored a,
second-round knockout over Al- j
bert Anderson of Lowell.
Spurgeon beat Billy Hill of ,
Washington in a close bout for the i
title. Three other Washington j
fighters lost in the sf mi-finals:
Dave Zimmerman, 135-pounder,
was outpointed by Roberts: Albert;
Anderson, Lowell, Mass., won the;
verdict over Tommy Williams in;i
the 147-pound class and Eldridge
Thompson, Quantico’s defending
lightheavyweight champion, lost to
Patterson.
Foster Bonner, native of Fair
fax, Va„ representing Cherry

Permission to Boost
Payroll Believed Won
By Giants and Dodgers
By lbs Associated Press ,
The New York Giants and
Brooklyn Dodgers apparently
have won' Government permis
sion to exceed payroll ceilings.
Officials of the Government’s j
Salary Stabilization Board con-!
firmed that they have acted on;
“certain requests” of the two Na
tional League clubs.
They refused to reveal details,'
saying they had agreed to leave;
such an announcement to the
Dodgers and Giants.
But sources in New York said;
that the National league cham-,
Dion Giants had asked for per-i
mission to exceed Government;
payroll ceilings by 5 per cent, andt
the Dodgers had asked to be;
allowed to top ceilings by 10 per
cent.
Apparently, most, if not all, of
the requests of the two clubs were
granted in decisions mailed out to
them. This could not be con
firmed, however.
Under board rules there is no
ceiling on how much a club may
pay an individual player. But the
club must keep its payroll within
the total spent in (1) the year
1951, or (2) any single year from
1946 through 1950, plus 10 per
cent of the year chosen.
This rule is only tentative. But
the board Is expected to adopt it
as a permanent regulation at a
meeting March 12, with certain
amendments.
One of the amendments is a new
proviso exempting baseball “bo
nus” payments from any ceiling.
This means the bonus paid a play
er for signing an original contract
won’t be considered as compensa
tion.
The bonus exemption was one
3f the suggestions made to the
board recently by John Kieran,
former sports columnist of the
New York Times, who conducted
hearings on baseball salary regu
lations in New York in early
February.
