Dixie Carroll Faces Uncertain Future In Pacific Coast League
Dixie Carroll, Memphis boxing star and baseball figure, is at odds with a Pacific Coast League assignment after a troubled stint with Los Angeles. Reports say St Louis traded him for Billy Pertlea, then Carroll briefly resisted before hinting at retirement rather than reporting to LA. He prefers the Southern league, and Branch Rickey reportedly seeks to mollify him amid doubt he will ever play on the coast. Elsewhere, promoter Walk Miller earns praise for clean boxing in Atlanta and plans to develop southern champions, with local boxing activity expanding as promoters push southern bouts.
