KO Scored By Anthony Detroit (U.R) Tony An thony, a former china-jawed middleweight who became a sen sational light heavy in knocking out Chuck Spieser Friday night, looked past his June 7 title fight with Archie Moore to Floyd Patterson. Anthony, a Harlem musician with a real smooth ring glide, surprised everybody even him self by shaking up top-ranked light-heavy Spieser in the first, putting him down and almost out in the second and cleanly kayoing the balding favorite in the third. A crowd of 8,651 paid $20,145 to watch the nationally televised fight. Archie Moore, 43, fat and fad ing in the deep twilight of a box ing career that has had a long afternoon, has already signed to meet the winner in the same Olympia Stadium ring June 7. How about heavyweight champ Patterson? "That's who we're after," said Ernie Braca, Anthony's manager. Defensive Star To Face Boston , Pro Basketeers Los Angeles Professional basketball, as played in the Na tional Basketball association, is a game in which the accent is on offense. It is unusual for a player to make his reputation on defense but Mel Hutchins, 6-6 forward of the Fort Wayne Pis tons, is better known for his de fensive work than his offensive, even though he is a 13-point per game scdrer. Hutchins, the former-Brigham Young university Ail-American, has an amazing ability .to out jump much taller men. Com bined with is great timing and remarkable agility, his jumping ability makes him the toughest defensive man in pro basketball with the exception of Boston's Bill Russell. The Piston ace is one of many NBA standouts with the Major League All-Stars who battle Boston in a game at Oregon State College's Gill Coliseum on April 20. When George Mikan, the king PICKUP and 15 Minute! Service MEDFORD MUFFLER CO. EXHAUST SPECIALISTS 1130N. Riverside Roberts to Hurl Eighth Inaugural By LEO H. PETERSEN United Press Sports Editor An even dozen of the 16 pitch ers who had opening-day assign ments in 1956 are expected to be on the mound again April 15 and 16 when the 1957 pennant races get underway. The group is headed by Robin Roberts, who'll be handling his eighth straight inaugural job when the Philadelphia Phillies open at home against the Nation al League champion Brooklyn Dodgers. Roberts' likely oppon ent is 27-game winner Don New combe, whom he bested, 8-6, last year. The Milwaukee Braves are ex pected to fend Lew Burdette against Bob Rush and the Chi cago Cubs; Vinegar Bend Mizell and Joe Nuxhall are the likely hurlers when the St. Louis Card inals square off against the Cincinnati Redlegs and the Pitts burgh Pirates probably will open with Bob Friend against Johnny Antonelli End the New York Giants. In the American league, the opening-day "repeaters" prob ably will be Billy Pierce of the Chicago'White Sox, Bob Lemon of the Cleveland Indians, Frank Lary of the Detroit Tigers and Camilo Pascual of the Washing ton Senators Another possibil ity is Don (Perfect Game) Lar sen of the New York Yankees, although manager Casey Stengel currently is grooming either Whitey Ford or Johnny Kucks for the assignment. Unless Stengel swings around to the idea of starting Larsen, the Yankees will open with either Ford or Kucks against the Senators the following day. Then, Stobbs, who scored three of the Senators' five wins over New York last season, figures to get some work. Hank Aaron Pace Setter For Braves Saratosa, Fla. (U.R) Billy Virdon, who finished second to Milwaukee's, Hank Aaron in the National league batting race last year, is ready for the 1957 NL campaign. Virdon currently is clipping along at a .436 clip in Grapefruit league games and leads the Pirates in runs batted in with 14 and homers with three. By UNITED PRESS Hank Aaron's .417 average is making it clear today that there'll be no repetition of the spring slump that almost cost him the National league batting championship in 1956. Aaron walloped a homer and a single Friday to pace the Mil waukee Braves to a 5-1 victory over the Brooklyn Dodgers and raise his runs batted in total to 22 for 1? games. The Philadelphia Phillies raised their record to 12-2 against American league rivals when they scored six unearned runs in the seventh inning to down the New York Yankees, 6-4. Bob Turley shut out the Phillies with three hits for six innings before two errors got him into trouble. Seven In Eight The Cleveland Indians made it seven victories in their last eight games when they clubbed out 12 hits, including nine for York Giants. The Indians hacked out 12 hits, ancluding nine for e: tra bases, and received 13 walks from New York pitchers. The Kansas City Athletics handed the Boston Red Sox their fifth straight loss and 12th in 18 games with major league rivals when they scored four eighth-inning runs for a 4-1 tri umph. Bob Rush, ticketed to be the Chicago Cubs' opening day pitch er, went nine innings for the first time Friday night and scored a 6-4 victory over the Baltimore Orioles. Don Hoak continued his strong bid for a regular job when he walloped a sixth-inning homer that gave the Cincinnati Redlegs a 1-0 decision over the Washington Senators. of the big men, was in his prime, Hutchins covered him even though Mikan was four inches taller and 50 pounds heavier. No one gave Mikan more trouble than Hutchins.

Ashland gained the sprint medley victory and Bob Farris of Ashland copped the javelin.
