German Boxing Leaders Launch Campaign To Save Ring Fatalities

By HANS SCHOEFER

Frankfurt,

German amateur boxing leaders have launched an all-out

campaign to put an end to "death in the ring." The latest fatal accident in a German amateur fistic ring took place on July 21 at Constance when Bantam- weight Ferdinand May, 26, died of a cerebral hacmor- rhage after a bout with Heinz Amrein of Stuttgart.

In post-war years, amateur | boxing has claimed the lyes of at least seven young men.

The sound of hickory on horsehide will be heard once again when the familiar cry of "Play Ball" echoes across the diamond at King's Park and yet another season of softball opens tomorrow.

Contrary to quite a few expectations, the sport of softball is still very much with us and this 1957/58 season sees a resurgence of interest by participants as 17 men's teams, seven in the Seniors and 10 in the Juniors, vie for supremacy in what should be an exciting season."
