By JACK CUDDY Chicago UJ.R) Sugar Ray Robinson will shoot the works and gamble on a knockout to night in his age-vs.-youth return title light with middleweight champion Gene Fullmer at Chi cago stadium. The last-minute disclosure was made today by George Gain lord, long-time co-manager, who aid, "Ray will cut loose with everything he's got and try for a knockout in six or seven rounds. "He couldn't beat Fullmer by boxing him over .the distance at New York in January; so he'll go all-out to stop him early this time." Accordingly, the expected 14, 000 fans will see 36-year-old Robinson gamble on tagging 25-year-old Fullmer with the first "knockout of his career or suf fering a kayo loss that will send him into permanent retirement. On National TV Promoter Jim Norris predict ed a gate of 5200,000. An addi tional 5100,000 has been paid for ABC's national telecast and broadcast at 10 p.m. e.d.t. There will be a TV blackout on a 150 mile radius in the Chicago area. Stocky, muscular Fullmer, a mining welder from West Jor dan, Utah, took the 160-pound crown from slender . Ray on a unanimous 15-round decision at Madison Square Garden, Jan. 2. Tonight's return 15-rounder stimulated the heaviest fight- betting in years. The champion is favored at 2-1, and it's even money" that Robinson doesn't Sports Broadcasts Radio station KYJC (1230 kc) will bring the Sugar Ray Robinson-Gen Fullmer mid dleweight till boxing bout at :05 p.m. today. J last the distance. A month ago, Fullmer was a 4-1 choice. If Ray beats Gene tonight he will be the first man in ring his tory, in any division, to win the same title four times. Robinson wag also welterweight 147 pound champion before he cam paigned for the 160-pound bon net. Since copping the title Full mer has had two non-title bouts with Wilf Greaves and Ernie Durando and suffered a brow cut in each. And he was unim pressive in training. However, the Mormon mauler is a chips down fighter, not a gymnasium performer. His 40 victories in 43 fights attest his prowess. Robinson lost but five of his 147 bouts, and he was stopped only once when he collapsed between rounds from the heat in his attempt to wrest the light heavyweight crown from Joey Maxim in 1952. Because of his rare prowess, most experts have tabbed him "an all-time great." If tonight's show draws its expected $200,000 gross gate, each fighter should wind up with about 878,000. Each re ceives 30 per cent of the net gate and TV-radio money. It would be Fullmer's largest purse. Tonight's fight will be scored by a referee and two judges on a five-point-must system. The winner of a round gets five points and the loser, from one to four. For an "even" round, each gets five points. Braves Take High Road By RAY ANDREWS United Press Sports Writer The Tri-City Braves are taking the high road in the Northwest Baseball league and the Lewis ton Broncs.so far, are trudging along on the low road. Tri-City blasted Eugene 14-2 Tuesday night for a perfect 5-0 mark and Salem beat Lewiston 10-8 to give the Broncs an im perfect 0-5 slate. Yakima nipped Wenatchee 7-6 in the other game. Bert Haysom spun a four-hitter and got 13-hit backing from his mates to make things easy for Tri-City. Haysom fanned eight and walked four and con tributed a solo homer in his own cause. Joe Porter drove in three Tri City runs with a bases-loaded double off the right centerfield boards in the eighth. Salem col lected 15 hits off three Lewiston hurlers with Ted Rhodes leading the way with a triple double and two singles. The Senators won it in the sixth with four runs on four singles, two walks and a passed ball. Yakima was six runs down to Wenatchee but got five markers in a big fifth frame and added another in the seventh to tie it 6-6. Don McGinnis won it in the ninth when his single to right sent Vince Moreci in from second. Baseball Scores TUESDAY COLLEGE GAMES Oregon 3. Idaho 2 Washington 6. WSC 5 SOC 18. OTI 4 Portland 10.

Arch Moore In Tuneup j Essen, Germany (U.R) Arch ie Moore engages in a non-title bout in this industrial Ruhr val ley city tonight, seemingly un concerned over his bulging waistline and' a threat he may be stripped of his world light heavyweight title. Looking more like a heavy weight than the 175 pound champion, Moore was "ready to shoot the works" against Hans Kalbfell, the German butcher boy, in a 10-round fight at the DuBois arena. Some eyebrows were raised Tuesday night at the official weigh-in for the bout when Moore scaled 204V2 pounds almost 30 pounds over the light heavyweight limit. But old Ar chie said he wasn't worried. "That's about the weight I've aimed for," he said. Moore accepted the Kalbfell fight as a tuneup for a title de fense against young Tony An thony at Detroit June 7.

By MILTON HICHMAN United Press Sports Writer Stan Musial is murdering the ball at a .476 clip and Ted Wil liams is right up there at .426, so if there are any questions: about either slowing up, please don't ask them within earshot of all those shell-shocked National and American league pitchers. Musial claims he'll quit only after he collects his 3,000 hit. He got his 2,800th and his 2,801st against the Pirates Tuesday night and his last hit was a 13th inning homer that gave the Car dinals a 6-5 victory. Williams says he'll hang 'em up when he has enough money but if he continues to blast the ball as he did Tuesday night with three hits, including a hom er in Boston's 3-1 triumph over Kansas City he might decide to keep going indefinitely. In other American league games, Chicago held on to first place with a 6-1 decision over Baltimore; Cleveland defeated Washington, 5-1, and Detroit nip ped New York, 2-1, in 10 inn ings. Giants Shutout Braves The Giants blanked the Brav es, 4-0; Brooklyn topped Chica go, 10-9, in 10 innings, and Cin cinnati defeated Philadelphia, 6-3. Musial's game-winning blow came off Pirate relief ace Elroy Face after Pittsburgh had ral lied with five runs in the ninth to send the game into extra inn ings. Wally Moon and Del Ennis also homered for the Cards. Williams slammed a homer, double and a single off Kansas City loser Ned Garver. Knuckle bailer Willard Nixon limited the Athletics to three hits. Bob Lemon and Ray Narleski combined efforts to produce a two-hit performance in Cleve land's victory over Washington. Lemon gave up both hits before yielding to 'Narleski in the eighth. Frank Boiling's 10th inning homer off reliever Bob Grim of the Yanks was the payoff wal lop in the Tigers' victory. Duke Maas, owner of a 0-7 record with Detroit last year, checked the Yankees on three hits while re gistering his second win of the campaign. . A four-run rally in the sev enth inning gave southpaw Bil ly Pierce of the White Sox his third victory in a game against the Orioles. Ray Moore held the White Sox to three hits until the seventh but they put together their rally with a double, three singles and a walk. Little Don Zimmer, filling in for sidelined Peewee Reese, col lected five hits to help the Dodg rs to their victory over the Cubs after Brooklyn had blown a six run lead. Zimmer's 10th inning homer off Dave Hillman, Chica go's seventh pitcher, broke up the game. ' Left-hander Johnny Antonelli of the Giants limited the Braves to seven hits and contributed a two-run homer in gaining his second victory. The loss was on ly Milwaukee's second in 11 games. " Burly Brooks Lawrence snap ped Cincinnati's three-game los ing streak as he scattered nine hits and settled down after a shaky start against the Phillies. LINESCORES: American League .

Federal Hill Triumphs In Derby Trial Louisville, Ky. U.R) Calu met Farm's derby favorite. Gen. Duke, came up with an injury to his left forefoot today, follow ing his defeat in Tuesday's derby trial and trainer Jimmy Jones said he must be considered a doubtful starter in the Kentucky Derby Saturday.. Gen. Duke's leg was extreme ly sore this morning and Jones had X-rays taken. He said, "we hope it is only a bruise but must wait until this afternoon to see if the X-rays show a break. Louisville, Ky. (U.R) Derby Town buzzed with speculation today of the possibility of a track record being set in a wide open Kentucky Derby Saturday. The speculation started after Clifford Lussky's Federal Hill streaked to a fast triumph Tues day in the Derby trial in which Calumet Farm's entry of Gen. Duke and Iron Liege faltered in the stretch. Mrs. -Ada L. Rice's Man Up Stairs appeared knocked out of the Derby picture after finishing a poor last in the mile triaL It was a corking race by Fed eral Hill, who had been tabbed as a sprinter thus far. He reeled off the mile in 1:36 1-5 and was holding his two' and one-half length lead safely as he streaked across the finish line. General Duke Second . Gen. Duke, who trailed the field of six three-year-olds early in the race and made a big run around the turn into the home stretch, gained little ground in the last eighth of a mile. Gen. Duke just managed to catch William S. Miller's Better Bee at the wire to take second place by a neck with Indian Creek, another colt- owned by Mrs. Rice, fourth, followed, by Iron Liege and Man Up Stairs. Jockey Willie Carstens, aboard Federal Hill, kept the. colt run ning after crossing the finish line and the three-year-old com pleted a full mile and one-quarter in 2:04 1-5. But few in this horse crazy town thought that clocking would be good enough to win Saturday when Wheatley Stable's Bold Ruler.T. Alie Gris som's Shan Pac, Travis M. Kerr's Round Table and Ralph Lowe's Gallant Man take on the Derby Trial starters in the "big one."
