G. Fullmer
Slugs Way
To Title
SAN FRANCISCO UPI-Cene
Fullmer, middleweight champion
of all the world lexcept New
York and Massachusetts', is
ready to take on ull comers ufler
his shellacking of Carmen Basilio
Friday night.
"I'll meet anybody where there
Is a chance for a good gate."
said Fullmer after his Nth rounil
knockout of Basilio. "Even Sugar
Ray Robinson".
But if Robinson, who holds the
title in the two stales not covered
by Fullmer's. ever expects to get
a shot at Gene's crown, it will
be mostly for free.
"I think I should get 48 per cent
for the states- I'm champion in
and Ray about 2 per cent for
his two states," -said Fullmer.
When Gene first won the mid
dleweight crown from Robinson,
he got only 124 per ient of the
purse. Then, when Fullmer was
champion and gave Sugar Kay a
return bout, he still didn't get the
champion's usual share.
"If we ever meet again, it will
be different," said Fullmer.
Fullmer was a dazzler Friday
night as he followed a back
tracking plan that completely be
fuddled the 32-year-old Basilio.
The bout was ended when Car
men's handlers yelled to referee
Jack Downey: "Stop the fight!"
The call came ofter 39 seconds
of the 14th round and just after
Fullmer hod thrown a straight
right that landed with the explo
sive power of TNT on Basitio's
chin. Carmen's knees sagged and
Lhe wobbled.-That's when the call
to end it came.
It was the first time in his ong
and illustrious career that the
Syracuse battler ever had been
slopped. "I didn't want them to
stop it," said Basilio. "I could
have gone on. I was just faking
trying to get him to come in."
ROBERTS REJOINS TEAM
PITTSBURGH HTD Robin
Roberts rejoined the Philadelphia
Phillies today after tests showed
the veteran pitcher had a normal
sugar tolerance. Roberts under
went the tests Friday after a
routine examination disclosed a
trace of sugar in his system.
Both Salt Lake and Vancouver
are close to being equal in man
power. Looking ut the remaining
schedule, Salt Lake would opiear
to have the best chance of grab
bing the flag. The Bees play their
final three series at home against
Phoenix, San Diego and Sacra
mento. The Giunts and Solons
could prove soft touches for the
Bees the way they have been
playing lately.
Vancouver must meet Portland,
Spokane and Seattle during the
final two weeks and that apiiears
to be a much more difficult task
than that which faces Salt Lake.
Joe Frazier was the Vancouver
hero Friday night as he singled
home Rny Barker in the 14th to
provide the margin of victory and
give reliefer Chuck Estraia his
12th win against five losses.
