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

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.

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.

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.

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."
