PAULSEN'S THRIFT MARKET Free Parking CENTRAL POINT Vg&BttL bunch 2bots. 45c MEATS lb. 59c MEDFOWvlllWrRIBUNB Maxim Victor; Heat Halts Ray New York (U.R) Joey Max im Thursday gave thanks for the unprecedented heat that helped cause the collapse of Sugar Ray Robinson and save his light heavyweight crown. Cleveland Joey admitted he knew Robinson was "way ahead" when the end came on a technical knockout at the start of the 14th round. Slender Robinson, the middle weight champion who was try ing to win the light-heavy title, was unable to answer the bell at the start of the 14th because of the 104-degree heat in Yankee Stadium and because of the body punishment he received from a man who out-weighed him 15Vs pounds. Highest Heat A surprisingly large crowd of 47,968 witnessed the postponed fight in which a good big man beat a good little man in an oven. The gross gate was $421, 696. The heat highest ever reg istered for any professional fight was so terrific that it forced referee Ruby Goldstein to leave the ring at the end of the 10th round and be replaced by referee Ray Miller. Robinson was treated an hour for heat prostration in the dress ing room. Sugar Ray although out weighted 173 pounds to 157V4 gave Maxim such a thorough licking in the first 11 rounds that judge Harold Barnes scored 10 rounds for Robinson and three for Maxim. Judge Arthur Aidala had Sugar Ray ahead, 9-3-1. The United Press favored him 10-2-1. Had to Chase Referee Goldstein's score card was not available, but successor Miller gave Robinson the 11th, and awarded the 12th and 13th to Maxim. Maxim said today: "It would have been one helluva fight on a cool night. Yes, the heat bother ed me a little; but I got behind because I had to keep chasing the little fellow and couldn't catch up with him." He admitted Sugar Ray was a good puncher.

Robinson staggered him several times particularly in the seventh and ninth rounds, when it seemed Joey must suffer the second knockout in his career of 100 professional bouts. Nearly Helpless Robinson appeared to wilt in the 12th round. In the 13th he floundered about in near help lessness. Maxim staggered him with two left hooks. Then Joe drove him half through the ropes with a barrage to the head. In a final, deperation attempt, Robinson threw a wild right at Maxim's head. The blow missed and Robinson fell face down wards on the hot canvas. He rose quickly but lurched about the ring helplessly. Just before the bell a left hook to the head sent him lurching sideways. He slumped onto the ropes in a neu tral corner after the bell rang. His handlers rushed over and half-carried him to his corner. Referee Miller called Dr. Alexander Schiff into the ring. Schiff advised Robinson that he had enough. Ray's handlers agreed. The bell for the 14th round rang, and Robinson re mained slumped on his stool in the corner.

Ait for twf frtt ftldtr n tofttttt Spunky Yvars Gets Chance, Spui rs Giants By 0NITED PRESS Spunky Sal Yvars, the peren nial wallflower of the Giant dug out, suddenly found himself in baseball's seventh heaven today, and it took a long time consider ing the guy got his start in Val halla, N. Y. Yvars, overlooked so often during a six-year bench-warming career with the Giants that he sometimes wondered if Manager Leo Durocher knew he was on the roster, overnight became the "belle of the ball." Goes to Work The burst of popularity devel oped when first-string catching ace Wes Westrum suffered a broken index finger on his throwing hand last Thursday. Since big Ray Noble had been sent to Oakland, that left Yvars as the only available catcher on the roster. Yvars went to work and the Giants crossed their fingers, hop ing he wouldn't get his bashed up. He took charge brilliantly, steering the pitchers to five straight victories, throwing men out on steals and pickoffs, and batted at a .350 pace with seven hits in 20 at bat. Wednesday, as the Giants won a 3 to 2 scrlc s sweeper with the Reds it was a single by Yvars which touched off the winning rally in the eighth. He came around to score on a sacrifice, an infield out, and Whitey Lock man's single. Don Mueller and Bob Elliott hit earlier Giant homers and Cal Abrams got one for Cincy. Grid Frays eason is the USC-WSC game to be played in the Los Angeles Coliseum, Friday night, Septem ber 19. Associated will release this sportcast in a special coast net work to enable Western fans to get a line on these two pre-sea-son powerhouses. Chuck Davey Stops Vejar Detroit (U.R) Chuck Davey, the cunning ex-school teacher with an educated left hand, said today he's ready for big game a shot at the welterweight crown. A fifth round knockout over Chico Vejar Wednesday night lifted high the spirits and also the prestige of the 26-year-old Detroiter who owns a master's degree from Michigan State col lege. It was his second victory over the 20-year-old New York Uni versity student. Vejar, who held a two-pound weight advantage over Davey at 149V4, protected his tender mid-section well dur ing the first four rounds, but was caught by surprise in the fifth.

He won it on his second bid in the heat-smothered finals at Big Spring Golf Club Wednesday with a dogged comeback 36-hole triumph over slamming Chick Harbcrt. The seven Turnesa brothers hhj sought to win this match play marathon a long time, ever since 1010. Three times before they came as close as you can without winning. Joe Turnesa lost to the im motal Walter Hagen, 1 down, in the 1927 finals. This same Jim, failed as he was beaten by Slamrnin' Sam Snead, 2 and 1, in the 1942 finals. And Mike Turnesa blew it badly to Bantam Ben Hogan in the 1948 finals, 7 and 6. But Jim got even for all of them Wednesday as he fought from behind a 3 down deficit at 18 holes, battled to be only 1 down at 27, squared it on the 32nd and won it, finally, on the 36th and final hole.
