SUGAR RAY KNOCKS
OUT OLSON IN 4th
By JACK CUDDY '
United Press Sporti Writer
Los Angeles (U.R) Champion
Sugar Ray Robinson, elated at
his "no fluke" knockout over
Carl (Bobo) Olson in their re
turn middleweight title fight,
aid today, "I would like to
make my next defense against
Carmen Basilio in New York.
The 35-year-old Ray, who again
flattened ex-champ Olson Fri
day night, before 20,000. at
Wrigley Field, explained, "Chair
man Julius Helfand, of the New
York Boxing Commission asked
me to make the New York de
fense, and I would like to do
It." Basilio of Syracuse, N.Y.,
is an ex-weltherweight champ.
Ray added, "Maybe I'd really
get a chance to show whether
my legs are. gone against Bas
ilio." He said he didn't get a chance
Friday night because his right
to the body and terrific left
hook to the chin, knocked out
San Francisco's Bobo at 2:51 of
the fourth round.
Ring History Repeals
Coincidentally, it was at 2:51
of the second round in Chicago,
last Dec. 9, when Robinson
climaxed his comeback by re
capturing the middleweight
crown for the second time on a
kayo over Bobo.
That December ending came
so quickly and unexpectedly
that many boxing men consider
ed it a "fluke." Accordingly,
Ray and Bobo went into the
ring at "even money" for their
scheduled 15-rounder at sunset
Friday.
There was so much uncertain
ty about the outcome that an
estimated 20.000 fans paid an
estimated $200,000 gate. The
state's richest fight Friday was
additionally gilded by $100,000
from radio and television.
Champions and challenger
were guaranteed $75,000 each
by the Hollywood American
Legion Stadium which promoted
the bout. Each had the privilege
of taking 30 per cent of the net
receipts if they exceeded the
$75,000 guarantee. The estimates
Indicate that 30 per cent would
be about $78,000.
Both Need Dough
Both Ray and Bobo need their
purses badly. Robinson owes the
government $81,904 in back
taxes, and Olson's wife announc
ed Friday a separate mainten
ance suit that wil tie up and
perhaps absorb all his assets.
Friday night Olson, scaling
160 pounds to Robinson's 159V4,
was just beginning to come on
well in the fourth round when
the cloudless sky fell in on him.
In the fourth session, Bobo
was warned for the second time
in the bout because he insisted
on keeping the top of his head
in Robinson's face. Bobo land
ed a hard left hook to the head
then a right to the temple that
knocked the champion sideways.
He followed with a right and
left to the body as an exchange
started.
Then wham! Robinson shot a
straight right to Bobo's body,
and boom! a left hook to the
head that dropped Bobo on his
back on the canvas. He rolled
over and tried to get up, but
was only half sitting when
counted out.
"It happened so fast, I don't
remember anything about the
knockout," Olson explained
glumly after the fourth knock
out and ninth .defeat in his
career of 75 fights. It was Rob
inson's 137th victory and 90th
knockout in his remarkable
record that includes but four de
feats in 145 bouts.
Mrs. Olson Asks
Separate Support
San Francisco (U.R) Mrs.
Carl (Bobo) Olson, estranged
wife of the fighter seeking to re
gain the world middleweight
crown tonight in Los Angeles,
Friday filed a series of court ac
tions aimed at tying up all of
the fighter's past, present and
future financial assets.
Athe same time, Mrs. Olson
moved to dismiss her original
suit for divorce, filed earlier this
year, and asked instead for sep
arate maintenance and support
for herself and their four chil
dren.
In November, 1955, Mrs. Ol
son field suit for divorce, charg
ing extreme cruelty. She asked
for a "fair share" of the com
munity property, estimated at
$200,000.
After the divorce suit was fil
ed it was revealed that Olson
was the father of another four
children by another woman liv
ing in the same neighborhood.
Fabius Wins
Preakness;
Needles 2nd
Baltimore, Md (U.R) Calu
met Farm's Fabius gained sweet
revenge for his Kentucky Derby
defeat Saturday when he beat
mighty Needles in the 80th run
ning of the $132,800 Preakness
Stakes and buried his rival's
dreams of a triple crown victory
in his dust.
After taking the lead on the
turn into the stretch, Fabius.
second by three-quarters of a
length to Needles in the Ken
tucky Derby two weeks ago,
had all the speed he needed in
the straightaway to mumble
Needles in the middle jewel of
America's triple crown of the
turf.
The son of Citation, winner
of the Preakness Stakes in 1948
and the last horse to sweep the
golden diadem, flashed across
the finish line a length and
three-quarters ahead of Needles,
who trailed the field as usual
but failed to overtake the win
ner in the closing yards of the
mile and three-sixteenths race.
Wallace E. Britt's No Regrets,
seventh in the Kentucky Derby,
was third, with Winding Way
Farm's Gold Ace fourth.
Needles started to run after
loafing along in the rear of the
eight other starters when he
neared the end of the back
stretch. Jockey Dave Erb had
the mighty son of Ponder, anoth
er derby winner who failed in
the Preakness, running at his
best, Erb drove Needles through
one hole, then through another
and just as he did in the derby,
swept around- the last three
horses in his bid for victory.
But this time Needles did not
have the finishing kick he need
ed as determined Bill Hartack,
on Fabius, drove his mount with
might and main to give Calumet
Farm its fifth victory in the
classic.

In Race For Pennat
New York (U.R) Lefty
Herb Score, who is taking aim
at all the strikeout records in
the book, fanned 15 batters to
day as he kept the Cleveland In
dians in the battle for first place
in the American league with a
5-1 victory over the Washington
Senators.
Score's triumph on. a fancy
three-hitter enabled Cleveland
to remain 2Vi games behind the
New York Yankees, who strug
gled to a 6-4 victory over the
Chicago White Sox.
In the National league, Lew
Burdette's four-hitter kept the
Milwaukee Braves in first place
with a 3-2 clutch victory over
the New York Giants as the second-place
St. Louis Cardinals
pounded out 18 hits to beat the
Philadelphia Phillies, 11-5.
In other Saturday action: Ray
Moore's relief pitching helped
Baltimore beat Detroit, 5-4; Hec
Lopez t w o - r u n , ninth-inning
homer gave Kansas City a 5-4
decision over Boston; Cincin
nati out-slugged Brooklyn, 10-4;
and Dale Long's hitting led Pitts
burgh to a 7-4 win over the Chi
cago Cubs.
Score's 15 strikeouts fell one
short of his personal record and
three short of the major league
single game record held by team
mate Bob Feller. In gaining his
fourth win of the year, Score had
had a one-hit shutout until Roy
Sievers homered in the ninth
inning. Senator Pitchers fanned
nine Indians and the combined
total of 24 whiffs set a modern
major-league mark for two teams
in one game.
Sour note: Washington pitch

were assisted by walks, an error,
and a wild pitch as they gained
their fourth straight win. Bob
