April 30. 1957 f rtfT . fC St v; MEETING IN CHICAGO, Middleweight Champion Gene Fullmer (left) and Sugar Ray Robinson examine gloves to be used in title bout May 1. Frank Gilmer, Illinois Boxing Commission chairman (center), outlines rules to be followed. ( International Soundphoto) Ray Robinson, Fullmer to Change Ring Strategy In Title Fight By JACK CUDDY - United 'Press Sports Writer Chicago XS.P.) Stocky, mus cular Gene Fullmer and slender. explosive Ray Robinson admit ted today that their ring strate gies in Wednesday night's return middleweight title fight will be much different from those of their January battle, Thirty-six-year-old Robinson, attempting to win the 160-pound crown for the fourth time, said, "I fought just the way he wanted me to at Medison Square Gar den, but I'll make him fight my way tomorrow night at Chicago Stadium. I won't be stupid this time." Champion Fullmer, the" 25-year-old mining welder from West Jordan, Utah, declared: "If Robinson changes his tactics to morrow night, I'm ready to a lot of skull practice, studying the movies of our first bout, and I know just what to do." Fullmer Aggressive Fullmer won the title from Robinson at New York, Jan. 2, on a unanimous 15-round deci sion after out-smarting and out fighting veteran Ray. Moreover, Gene scored the only knockdown of the bout against his harder hitting opponent in the seventh round. Although Fullmer has the reputation of being a very ag gressive mauler, he craftily feinted Robinson into doing most of the leading in January. He slipped under Robinson's left jabs and charged into him with countering onslaughts of ripping blows to body and head. And Sugar Ray, generally off-bal anced when the counter-charges change mine too. I've been doing came, could only grab and hold. Major League Season Said To Resemble 'Roaring '20s' By EARL WRIGHT United Press Sports Writer New York (U.R) Major league fans and players are in for a rip-snorting season if the rest of the campaign matches the first two weeks. In some ways, the opening days of the 1957 season resem bled a page from the "Roaring "20 s." Here are some of the zany antics that enlivened the first two weeks. Manager Birdie Tebbetts of the Cincinnati Redlegs called pitcher Lew Burdette of the Milwaukee Braves "a cheating spitballer." President Warren Giles of the National League said Bur dette pitched a "dry" ball. Tebbetts Doesn't Apologize Burdette pressed his advan tage, asked Tebbets to apolo gize to the entire Burdette fam ily. Tebbetts didn't apologize to any Burdettes. Don Hoak of Cincinnati fielded a ball hit by one of his teammates to prevent shortstop Johnny Logan of Milwaukee from trying for a double play. Four days later, both major leagues adopted a rule to pre vent such light-hearted fielding forays by base runners. Before Sal Maglie threw a ball against the New York Gi ants, manager Bill Rigney of the Giants warned that Brooklyn batters would go down like ten pins if Sal "dusted off" Willie Mays. Sal had a stiff neck and didn't even pitch. The Pittsburgh Pirates hit three straight home runs off Brooklyn's Don Newcombe, the winningest pitcher in the ma jors last season. Cubs Set Record Chicago Cub pitchers had so much trouble finding the plate in a game against the Redlegs that they set a National League record by giving nine bases on balls in one inning. A more accurate but uniden tified "pitcher" threw once from the upper stands at Detroit's Briggs Stadium and hit umpire Bill Summers with an empty whiskey bottle. It was a throw Summers and baseball could have done without.- This list doesn't include Ted Williams' remarks about the Marine Corps and politicians, which livened up the training season grind. Since the regular season began, Ted has concen trated on hitting baseballs. Go ahead rhubarbs. Jack LaBua Beats Mice!! New York OI.R) Middle weight Jackie LaBua of East Meadow, N.Y., was looking ahead to a possible bout with Peter Mueller of Germany today following another impressive victory at St. Nicholas Arena. The rugged, sur-tanned Long Island fighter took full advan tage of an eight-pound "pull" in the weights Monday night in hammering his way to a unani mous decision over veteran Joe Miceli of New York in their widely-televised fight' at the na tion's oldest boxing club. LaBua. who weighed 155 to Miceli's 147, revealed after the bout he has been offered a match with Mueller, the "clown prince" of German boxing at Cologne in June. BOWLING CLASSIC LEAGUE Standings W.

He will try to force Fullmer to lead with his charges instead of coun tering with them. That will per mit the waiting Sugar man to step into the on-coming Gene with smashing left hooks to the head-counter-hooks that Robin son has been sharpening for a kayo.

Rookie Pitches Miami Into Loop Lead Monday By UNITED PRESS Earl Hunsinger, a 23-year-old rookie right hander, made his in itial victory of the season a big one as he pitched the Miami Marlins jnto first place in the International League.

All Buffalo scores came on homers, one by Luke Easter with two men on and a solo blast by Louis Ortiz. Walt Crad dock, victim of a five-run Mi ami outburst in the fourth, suf fered the loss.

WORLD RECORD Bob Gutowski of Occidental Col lege sails over bar to set a new world record for the - pole vault of 15-feet 8V4 inches during Occidental Stanford University track meet at Palo Alto, Calif. The old mark was 15-feet 7 inches set by Cornelias Warmerdam in 1942. Athlete May Break Own Vault Mark By HAL WOOD United Press Sporli Writer San Francisco (U.R) Bob Gutowski, the slender star who cracked the recognized world mark in the pole vault Saturday, may soar to a stratospheric height of 16 feet, 2 inches before the season is over, Payton Jor dan, Stanford University coach, predicted today. Jordan, who coached Gutow ski at Occidental College for 3 years before coming to Stan ford this spring, says that Bob has "everything going for him." He is very mature for his 22 years because of his world wide travel for competition," said Jordan. "He is a fine sprint er probably the fastest pole vaulter in history. He has strong shoulders. Eclipsed Waimerdam'i Record "I think he can make 16 feet, 2 inches if he hits the right day." . Saturday, Gutowski eclipsed Cornelius Warmerdam's 15-year-old mark of 15 feet, TVs inches, by clearing 15 feet, SV inches, Jordan recalled that he and his aides had to "talk Bob out of playing basketball" to get him to concentrate on pole vaulting.

Silver h Dollar V Stamps MEDFORD MUFFLER CO. 1130 N. Riverside Pitching Reason for Chicago; Brave Leads. Stengel Worried By TIM MORI ARTY 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 pitch ing." Four Big Braves In winning nine of their first 10 games, the Braves have relied almost exclusively on their "big four" pitching staff of Bob Buhl, Warren Spahn, Ray Crone and Lew Burdette. Honey 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, rathes than have 10 men ready to go without enough work for all of them," the Mil waukee 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.

The Braves won four games from Lewiston (during the first week of play and top the class B baseball circuit with a per fect 4-0 mark.
