Haney, Lopez
Credit Hurler s
For Hot Starts
By TIM MORIARTY
United Press Sports Writer
Manager Fred Haney of the
Milwaukee Braves and skipper Al
Lopez of the Chicago White Sox
both credited good pitching today
for their fast getaways in the
major league pennant races.
"I don't say we have the great
est but I think we have the deep
est pitching staff in the (National)
league," Haney conceded as the
front-running Braves prepared to
open their first eastern trip
against the New York Giants to
night. And as the first - place White
Sox stood ready for their initial
home stand against their eastern
rivals -in the American League,
Lopez admitted he was "more
than satisfied with our pitching."
Four Big Braves
In winning nine of their first 10
games, the Braves have relied al
most exclusively on their "big
four" pitching staff of Bob Buhl,
Warren Spahn, Ray Crone and
Lew Burdette. Haney tabbed this
planned rotation as "Operation
First Two Weeks."
"I told my pitchers that be
cause of rainouts and open dates
early in the season, it would be
better if we got four men in top
shape and concentrated on them,
rather than have 10 men ready to
go without enough work for ail of
them," the Milwaukee manager
revealed.
Lopez, discussing his pitching
staff before today's game against
the Baltimore Orioles, said he
was pleased with starters Billy
Pierce, Jack Harshman and Jim
Wilson, who have accounted for
six of the White Sox first seven
victories. He also put in a plug
for relievers Dixie Howell and
Paul LaPalme.
Avoiding Overconfldence
Admitting that "everybody
likes to get off to a good start,"
Lopez still didn't allow Chicago's
fast getaway to ruin his profes
sional perspective of the A.L.
race, pointing out "we've got too
long to go to judge any teams in
tnis league.
However, Casey Stengel, whose
Yankees open their western swing
against the Detroit Tigers, bluntly
confessed, "the While Sox are go
ing to give us the most trouble."
In American League night
games, Boston is at Kansas City
and Washington at Cleveland.
Three other National League night
games will find Chicago at Brook
lyn, Cincinnati at Philadelphia,
and St. Louis at Pittsburgh.
Sugar Hopes for KO
IiiBoutWithFullmer
By JACK HAND
CHICAGO Ifl "Why go 15
rounds if you only have to go
one?"
Sugar Ray Robinson authored
this pearl of wisdom. Monday in
a press interview following his
final three-round boxing drill for
Wednesday night's title rematch
with middleweight champion Gene
Fullmer.
Although the man who has held
the 160-pound crown three differ
ent times, didn't come right out
and predict a knockout, it was
evident that he was thinking in
that direction. All he would say
for the record is "My hopes are
high, very high."
Writer! Unimpressed
Boxing writers who watched the
J6-year-old New Yorker go
through the motions, weren't over
ly Impressed. They still remem-
bered his failure to cope with the
sturdy bully boy from West Jor
dan, Utah, in their Jan. '2 match
at Madison Square Garden.
Reports persisted that Robinson

plans to retire from the ring if
he fails to regain the title.
As Robinson finished his pre-
fight work, the odds reportedly
dipped from 3 to 1 favoring Full
mer to about 2 to 1,
Fullmer, who ended his train
ing with a rugged five-round drill
Saturday, was hidden away at a
country club, waiting for time to
go into town for Wednesday's
noon weigh-in.
'In 15 rounds I got a pretty
good idea of what he has to
offer," said Fullmer. "But then
you never know what the other
fellow will do in the ring. I've
licked him once, and with faith
in the Lord, I'll lick him again."
The bout will be televised and
broadcast nationally. Chicago and
a 150-mile surrounding area will
be blacked out on TV.
With $100,000 for TV rights and
the money from the gate, Full
mer and Robinson each should
get about $65,000 as they are
signed to contracts calling for 30
per qent each.
To Call Fouls
The Illinois Athletic Commis
sion will instruct the referee who
will work the 15-round match to
call fouls for any signs of rabbit
punching or holding in a clinch
As the bout will be scored on the
"five-point must" system, a foul
could cost a man points. The win
ner of each round gets live points
and the loser four, three and so
on. Even rounds are scored 5-5,
Our referees have been
structed that a rabbit punch (on
the back of the neck) is a foul
and that maintaining a clinch or
hanging on to an arm is a fou!
said Frank Gilmer, former referee
who is commission chairman.
"Speaking strictly from watch
ing the last Fullmer-Robinson
fight on television," he said, "I
would say that if that same fight
had been held here instead of
New York our referee would
have warned Fullmer against rab
bit punching and Robinson against
holding.

KU Seeks Another
CONROE, Tex. Wl Two Wilt,
the Stilts on one team?
Could be. since Kansas, where
Wilt Chamberlain is the star of
the basketball team, is after a
17-vear-old Negro boy named
Warnell Jones. This boy may be
taller than Wilt before he stops
growing.
Jones, a senior at the all-Negro
Booker T. Washington High School
in Conroe, stands 6 feet 11 with
ease and is being sought by no
less than 14 colleges and univer
sities. The reason is obvious: He
scored 628 points in 20 games for
an average of 31.4 last season.
He's been doing that all through
high school, however, and the in
terest in him was not recently
born. Some of his games as a
high school sophomore attracted
college scouts.
"I think he has tremendous pos
sibilities," says his coach, James
Barnhill.
Chamberlain, the All-America
sensation at Kansas as a sopho
more last season, is seven leet
tall. Jones, from all indications,
will be as tall or taller by the
time he gets to college, which will
be next fall.
Kansas is after him but so are
such other schools as Kansas
State, College of the Pacific, Ida
ho State. Lamar Tech, Nort
Texas State, Duquesne, New Mex
ico and Illinois.
Jones and his family recently
visited the Kansas campus on
invitation from the school. Barn-
hill said the big center was of
fered a scholarship.
Where the giant youngster plans
to go to college isn t known, prob
ably not even by himself. Right
now he's working over his studies
in the final months of his high
school career. And it's not just
to pass them, which is a foregone
conclusion, but to be valedictorian
of his class. As a student, he
staging a down-to-the-wire battle
with a girl for the honor.
300 Perfect Pin
Game Is Elusive
By FRANK WALTON
Capital Journal Sports Writer
The 300 perfect game is just as elusive as is the golf
hole-in one. Many bigtlme bowlers have yet to record their
first sanctioned perfect toss. Among a few of the "name
bowlers who haven't tallied the perfect mark are Lee Joug-
lard, Red Elkins, Willard Taylor, and Rudy Habetler, all ABC
Masters -champions. ABC doubles champion
Nelson Burton and twice all-events winner
Frank Santore, and Joe Norris also have yet
to get their perfect 12-in-a-row.
On the other side of the ledger are the sanctioned 300 lead
ers. George Billick is all time leader with 13 in over 20 years,
Pat Patterson, 31 years old, has eight 300's and is fast clos
ing on number two man Hank Marino who has 11 300 s in 40
years of bowling.
Locally there have been no sanc
tioned 300 games. Frank Evans,
has had his share of 300's, six in
all. But they were all in practice,
not in tournament or league, sanc
tioned by the American Bowling
Congress. Oldie Don Poulin also
has shot perfect in practice.
Many television viewers still re
member the 12 perfect tosses of
Portlander, now Chicagoan, Stan
Gifford, who won $5000 for his 300
game beamed over television last
year. When quizzed about the ev
ent, Gifford said, "It's mostly luck.
I have bowled many more accur
ate games, but the pins didn't fall
right. I wasn't so nervous about a
possible 300 as I was about making
a good showing in my lirst appear
ance on the television program."
Bowling columnist Carl Reich of
the San Francisco Examiner, how
ever, takes another view of any
300 game. "A fellow who has
opened with 9 or 10 consecutive
strikes awaits his next turn with
thumping heart, perspiration drip
ping from every pore. He knows
everyone is watching. He tells
himself, 'Take it easy. Don't for
get to throw the ball out. Follow
through. Act casual. Watch the
foul line. "
And Bill Welu, bowling star him
self, told of Gifford's 300. "The
1956 films were made in Paramus,
N.J., during June, 1955. The build
ing wasn't air conditioned and the
temperature must have been 115
inside the building with all the
lights necessary for TV work.
Stan's 300, to me, is one of the
greatest bowling performances of
all time."
Television, incidentally, has been
the making of many star bowlers.
Over 50 now earn mora than $25,000
a year and have done well for the
last five years since TV has
boomed the sport.
Bill Lillard travels over 200,000
miles on his bowling circuit. Be
sides bowling on television many
stars hold lobs as consultants and
experts with bowling manufacture
houses as well as reap a harvest
with their product testimonials.
And to show the popularity of
bowling television shows, Chicago,
besides nationwide televised bowl
ing, has seven local shows and two
of these are in the top three local
ratings.

NBA Threat
Of Suspension
Faces Moore
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, tfl
The president of the National
Boxing Assn. soys light heavy
weight champion Archie Moore
may face an immediate suspen
sion unless there is definite word
by Wednesday on his proposed
title defense in Detroit June 7
against Tony Anthony.
Floyd Stevens, NBA president,
said he planned to confer in Chi
cago Wednesday witn James u
Norris and Truman Gibson of the
International Boxing Club about
Moore's next defense.
"If I can't get a definite an
swer then," Stevens said, "we'll
vacate the title. We've been pa
tient with Archie and now we're
fed up."
Moore reportedly is demanding
$100,000 to meet Anthony in the
Detroit match. Moore is in Ger
many and has a bout scheduled
Wednesday night In Essen.
A month or so ago Moore was
in Detroit and signed a contract
to meet the winner of the Anthony-Chuck
Spicscr "elimination"
bout. It was announced at that
time that Archie definitely would
defend against the winner in a
nationally televised bout from De
troit's Olympia Stadium on June
