Robinson Welter King Hands Loser Bad Beating Sugar Ray Now Demands Chance At Claimants To Middleweight Title By MURRAY ROSE NEW YORK, Aug. 2").-(.n "I want a thot at the middleweight title. I think I've earned it." Welterweight Champion Ray Robinson made the statement last night. It was probably the greatest understatement made In sports all year. Off his performance, he cer tainly deserves t h e chance. Whether he'll get it is some thing else. After he cut down socking Sieve Belloise in seven rounds at Yankee stadium last night, some 28,812 lans were ready lo concede him to be the No. 1 middleweight, Champion Jake LaMotta or not. Iron-chlnned .take and Marcel Cerdan, the former 160-pound boss who meet in a return clash for the crown here Sept. Hi, were among the bumper throng which saw last night's massa cre. It wasn't too pleasant for them. Robinson hit Belloise with every shot In the book. He won ever) round but the fifth when he was bothered for Just two min utes by a desperate do-or-die attack by the balding, 30-year-old ex-sailor. Belloise Out Cold Then Sugar Ray caught up with Steve at the end of the seventh and flattened him with as perfect a left hook as you'll ever see. It caught Belloise on the chin and the New Yorker collapsed. Referee Eddie Joseph counted lo five when the bell clanged. Bel lolse'a seconds hauled the Inert gladiator to his corner. But Steve was out cold. Manager Eddie Walker didn't waste time. He signalled to Jo seph It was ah over. Under New York rules it goes In (he book as a seven-round kayo. Weeks before the fight, LaMot ta and Cerdan said that the vic tor of their September setto would meet last night's conqueror. It took Robinson years to gain the welterweight diadem. None of the champions would fight him. They called him the "un crowned champion of the wel terweights." It's possible the same fale may befall him among the 160-pound-ers.

Sold locally by YOUR TRIANGLE DEALER Sutheriin Fruit Growers Sutherlin, Oregon Dodgers Blank Cardinals In Rubber Game Detroit Wallops Yanks, Putting Idle Bosox One Game Higher In Race By JOE REICHLER Asfcociated Pres, bporuwritpr The spirited stretch battle be tween Brooklyn and St. Louis nay develop into a personal feud between the rival managers of the pennant-hungry clubs. Thus far. Eddie Dyer, boss of the Redbirds, has kept his peace. At least he hasn't openly belit tled the Brooks. But not old Burt Shotton. The 64 year-old fire brand, sometimes referred to as "Battlinj Barney," is simply spoiling for a light. Nearly back to his normal cocky self following a couple of smashing victories over the Cardinals, the silver-haired pilot of te Brocks disdainfully referr ed to the Redbirds as "just a o so ball club." "They're not much." Shotton dismissed the Cards today. "And here's why. We've never felt worse, played worse nor looked worse than we have during the past week. And yet those guys could build up only a one-game lead on us. In my book that makes the Cards not so hot. Informed of Shollon's remarks, Dyer had this to say: "Let's see, now, how have we fared against those dangerous Dodgers? I think we've beaten them 11 out of 19. Yeah, pard, 1 guess we are lucky at that." Newcombe Blanks Cards Shotton's Dodgers never looked betfr Pian they did yesterday, at that. They were smooth, ag gressive and positively spectac ular in their 60 triumph over the Redbirds. Don Newcombe overpowered the Cards, giving them only six scattered hits and allowing only one man to reach third. Everybody in the starting Dodger lineup connected safeiy. Carl Furillo, Roy Campanella and Gill Hodges hit homers. In winning the rubber match of the three -game series, the Dodgers moved only one game off the pace. They began the series two games behind. Tigers Maul Yankees The American league race tightened, too, when the pace setting New York Yankees, play ing without their ace, Joe Di Maggio, took a terrific 13-2 lacing from the Tigers in Detroit. This, the idle Boston Red Sox moved to within two games of the Yanks. lhats 'he closest theyve been to the top since the first week or tne season. Vic Wertz led the Tiger at tack wth a pair of home runs. One game with the bases full. Art Houtteman breezed to his 11th vic'ory with a 10-hitter. For the second straight night, the third place Cleveland In dians failed to take advantage of a Yankee defeat when they bowed to Washington's seventh place Senators. 3-2. Fowler Shuts Out Chisox The Philadelphia Athletics re tained their fourth place hold over the Tigers by the slimmest of margins one percentage point bv conquering the Chicago White Sox 50. Dick Fowler I pitched his fourth shutout and i 12th victory of the year for the Mackmen. Boston's third place Braves in Ihe National league eked out a 65 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates. Lefty Warren Spahn staggered to his 16th victory, which was Boston's fifth in a row. Wes Westrum, rookie catcher, slammed two home runs to lead the New York Giants to a 5-3 victory over the Chicago Cubs. Sheldon Jones went all the way to register his 10th victory. I Boston and St. Louis in the j American, and Philadelphia and Cincinnati in the National, were Idle. TRAPSHOOT HEAD DIES SPOKANE. Aug. 25. (.PI Frank D.

Coach Cece Sherwood, assisted by Hod Turner, Norm West, Frank Purdy, Ray Brown and Ed Wyatt, put the aspiring men through grass drills and chalk talks, followed by Instruction in the signal system, blocking fundamentals, soft dummy work and wind sprints. The men were divided up into three groups of tackles and guards, ends, and backfield and center. One hour was devoted to familiarizing the men with their position. Wind sprints followed, to deter mine the fastest men on the team in each of the positions. The men were graded and classified ac cording to speed ability. Coach Sherwood indicated the squad concentrated on speed the first evening, and this theme will be carried through to the end of the season. The high school mentor said the lads looked good the first drill and have a good attitude concerning practice and the game. Sherwood relates the line would not be as heavy as last year, but much faster. The backfield "won't look bad," Sherwood stated, and with the addition of Bob Scott, who is currently down with a bad case of poison oak, it will con sist of veterans from last year, with the exception of the quarter back position.
