Minoso's Powerful Hitting
Drowns Out Indian Critics
By FRED DOWN
United Press Sports Writer
Those critics of Cleveland
Indian General Manager
Frank Lane- are being
drowned out today by the
thunder of Minnie Minoso's
bat.
And they'll cease to exist at
all if the newly-acquired
Larry Doby pans out for the
Indians the way Minoso is.
Acquired Dec. 4 in a deal that
involved the popular Early
Wynn and Al Smith, Minoso
is enjoying one of the finest

Bassey Keeps Title,
By Halting Moreno
By ALEX KAHN
Los Angeles (IP) D u s k y
Nigerian featherweight cham
pion Hogan (Kid) Bassey, who
stalks an oppone like a
tiger, today accepted the
plaudits of power - punching
Ricardo (Pajarito) Moreno as
"the better man" after he
scored a third-round knock
out over the Mexican challenger.
In the first defense of the
title he won last June, Bassey
weathered Moreno's bull-like
rushes and lashing blows even
though they staggered him
and then landed a jolting
right to the head in the third
round to drop Moreno for the
full count after 2:58 minutes
Tuesday night.
"Bassey proved to me he
was the better man," Moreno
said as he wept unashamed in
his dressing room following a
Dupas, Fuentes
Tussle Okehed
New Orleans PI A 10-
round welterweight bout be
tween Ralph Dupas and Ra
mon Fuentes had the sanction
of the Louisiana State Boxing
commission today after the
commission ignored an opin
ion of the State Attorney Gen
eral's office Wednesday said
the bout would violate state
law.
Dupas is a New Orleans
resident and Fuentes is from
Los Angeles, Calif.
After an hour long execu
tive session Tuesday night,
the commission said "We
unanimously sanction the
April 7 fight between Dupas
and Fuentes and we recognize
Dupas' race as the status quo
until legally decided in a
. court of law." .
In an opinion requested by
the commission, Assistant At
torney General John Jackson
Jr. said state health records
indicate Dupas is Negro.
Louisiana law prohibits racial
ly mixed athletic events.

quick ending to the scheduled
15-round title bout.
Quick Like a Cat
"They said he was quick
like a cat and hit hard he
did," said Moreno as he shook
his head in disbelief.
The champion, with the dig
nity befitting the holder of
the Order of the British Em
pire which was awarded him
by Queen Elizabeth last New
Year's day, paid tribute to
Moreno for his punching ability.
"He hurt me with every
punch," Bassey said, screw
ing up his face in mock pain
as he discussed the bout. "But
I knew I had him in the
second round."
The abrupt ending left the
crowd of around 17,000 fans
almost gasping in astonish
ment. The gate was estimated
at $220,000. The predomin
antly Mexican audience had
expected more from their fa
vorite who has a record of 29
knockouts in 34 fights.
Moreno, realizing ' that his
chief hope was to score an
early knockout, came rushing
out of his corner at the bell
for the opening round and
began throwing powerful but
awkward-looking punches that
Bassey said afterward carried
plenty of authority.
The crowd was sent into
hysterical cheers when Mo
reno staggered the shorter
Bassey midway in the round
with a series of jolting lefts
and an occasional right. And
he followed that up by pin
ning the champ in a neutral
corner and again staggered
him to take the round on all
cards.
Chearing Ends
But that ended most of the
cheering so far as the sup
porters of Moreno were' con
cerned.
In the climactic third round
Bassey followed up his second
round advantage, sinking his
fist into Moreno's midriff and
then following up with loop
ing blows to the head.
The knockout punch was a
battering right to the head
that sank Moreno to his knees,
and he then keeled over slow
ly on his back in his own
corner while Referee Tommy
Hart tolled the full count.
Bassey weighed 124 pounds
for the fight, Moreno 124.
Bassey's handlers said he
would leave almost immed
iately for Liverpool. Moreno's
handlers were too dazed to
think of future plans.
day was wallop three homers
and a single to drive in eight
runs and lead the Tribe to a
14-7 victory over the Chicago
Cubs. That outburst topped
another terrific showing by
Ernie Banks who smacked his
10th and 11th homers of the
spring and knocked in five
runs for the losers.
Lane was criticized for
making both the Minoso and
Doby deals but in reuniting
sluggers who twice previous
ly have been "roomies" he is
trying to "wake up" a city
whose attendance last season
fell to 720,000.

Bill Skowron knocked in
eight runs with two homers

ers off Curt Simmons to lead
the Redlegs to a 9-2 triumph

The Montreal Canadiens,
who "rocketed" into the Stan

straight games, sat back to

of rest while the New York
Rangers and Boston Bruins

The Canadiens swept their

from the Detroit Red Wings
with a 4-3 victory Tuesday
night as the incomparable
Maurice (Rocket) Richard
turned the three-goal "hat

Meanwhile, the Rangers
whipped the Bruins, 5-2, to
square their series at two
games apiece. The remaining
games are scheduled April 3,

April Fool Calls
Too Much for "Brain"
Portland (IP) April Fool's

even for an electronic brain.
Harassed personnel at the
Portland zoological gardens
remembering last year's flood
of 700 telephone calls for Mr.
Fox, Mr. Lamb, and Mrs.
Lion this year installed an
automatic telephone answer

Ashland Dave D'Olivo
will be on the mound for
Southern Oregon college in
its opening baseball game of
the season against Humboldt
State Thursday at 3 p.m. here.
The Raiders meet Hum
boldt State in a three game
series with the single game
Thursday and a doubleheader
scheduled .for Friday begin
ning at 1:30 p.m.
Coach Ted Schopf will start
Jack Brown on the hill in the
first game Friday and either
Jim Eggers or Kermit Mc
Elmore in the second. ' If Eg
gers is needed in relief in the
first games McElmore will get
the call to start.
The outfield and catching
line-up is still somewhat un
certain according to Schopf.
Opening catching chores will
go to Phil Sword or Ron
Maurer.
If Sword catches, Maurer
will play center field along
with Leroy King in left and
Jim McAbee in right. On the
other hand, if Maurer catches
Sword will go tb right field
and King will move to center
and McAbee to left.
Jones at Short
Willie Jones, veteran from
last year's squad, will start
at shortstop and will team
with Jim Dietz at second base
for the keystone combination.
Larry Maurer gets the position
at first base.
Third base is still undecid
ed between Chuck Nevi and
Gordie Thoreson. Regardless
who starts, both will see ac
tion in the series against the
Lumberjacks.
Al Kimura and Ray Wein
hold make up the outfield re
serve and provide pinch-hitting
. reserve. Eldon Francis
will be on utility call in the
infield and Dietz can be used
in relief if necessary.
The line-up packs plenty
of power and a . good de
fensive infield, according to
Schopf, with the pitching still
being a problem.
Beginning with this series,
the Red Raiders have seven
non-league games before meet
ing Oregon Tech, April 19, in
a doubleheader at Ashland to
open Oregon Collegiate conference.
