Rain Again May Halt
Robinson-Maxim Tiff
: New York TI.R) Joey Max
im and Sugar Ray Robinson
were scheduled to meet tonight
in their postponed battle of
Champiom at Yankee Stadium,
but there was m chance that
rain again would wash out the
fight.
Today's forecast was for warm
and humid weather, "with a
chance of scattered thunder
norms and squally gusts in the
afternoon or evening."
n case of a second postpone
ment, the 15-round fight for
Maxim'a light heavyweight
crown will be held Thursday
niAit.
Middleweight champion Rob
insoivwas favored at 7-5 today to
win his third world title. Before
Monday's delay, the price was
'even rhoney." The slender New
York Negro was made favorite
because the postponement was
expected to weaken Maxim, who
had to keep pared down to the
175-pound limit for today's
weigh-in. Robinson, whose title
is not at stake, had no weight
problem. He scaled 160 pounds
at Monday's weigh-In.- Maxim
registered 174a-i.
A second postponement prob
ably would boost Robinson's
price to 8-3 as Maxim of Cleve
land literally "sweated out" the
delay. Joey weighed 184 for his
last non-title bout on March 6.
The drain of keeping below 175
now may send him into the ring
"weak and stale."

Ayers Hurls
Oaks to 1-0
PCL Victory
San Francisco UK Broad-
shouldered Bill Ayert, a big
righthanded pitcher for Oakland,
is gainfully employed, thank
you, and not Interested In going
to work for another Pacific
Coast league iall club.
The gentleman from Ceorgia,
it is speculated, was dropped
on the trading block recently.
Oakland Manager Mel Ott ai.d
Owner Brick Laws were disap
pointed with Ayers efforts this
season.
A 20-game winner for the 1951
Acorns, Big Bill had trouble hit
ting his stride this campaign
But since the trade-bait talk was
mouthed, William has shown
signs of coming around. He won
his fifth in 10 decisions last
night, stopping San Francisco on
three hits, 1-0. Ayers had a no-
hitter until the eighth.
Beit Cam
As luck would have it. Seal
pitcher Al Lien worked his best
game of the year in losing. He
pitched eight innings and allow
ed only one hit while fanning 10.
But that one blow cost him the
game.
Lien walked Sammy Chapman
on four pitches to open the
fourth and the excellent outfield
er moved around to third on two
ground outs. Loyd Christopher
stroked a single to left and Chap
man scored.
In other games, a homer by
Gene Baker and a grand-slam
mer by Max West in the eighth
frame pushed Los Angeles into
a 7-1 take from league-leading
Hollywood; and Al Widmar's
five-hitter brought Seattle a 4-0
victory from San Diego. The loss
was the Pads' sixth straight.
The battle between Sacra
mento and Portland was washed
out.

Dick Groat
Almost Has
3-Way Kill
By UNITED PRESS
Two near misses by the raw
est rookie and the littlest pitch
er In the majors gave the sec-
one division Pirates and Ath
letics small consolation today as
both tumbled further off the
pace.
Dick Croat of the Pirates Just
missed making an unassisted
triple play. Bitsy Bobby Shantz
of the Athletics just missed win
ning his 12th straight game in a
five-hi. defeat that took no lustre
off his record.
Groat, signed last week for
S75.000 by the Pirates as he
stepped off the Duke campus and
into the Pittsburgh first string
shortstop post, was within inch
es of the first unassisted triple
play in the majors since May 31,
1927 in Boston.
TAKES LINER
With runners on first and sec
ond in the third inning, Groat
took a liner by Earl Torgeson
and stepped on second to retire
the speedy Sam Jethrie. He hes
itated an instant to see if he
could run down Bob Thorpe, rea
lized he had little chance and
threw to first to sacrifice glory
for a sure out.
The Braves went on to win, 4
to 3, as George Crowe singled
home the winning run in the
ninth; nullifying a three-run
eighth Inning homer by Gus Bell.
The last unassisted triple play
In the majors was completed by
Johnny Neun of the Tigers on
May 31, 1927, and in an astound
ing coincidence, the one prior to
that was completed by Jim Coon
ey of the Braves on the day be-!
fore, May 30, 1927.
