home in sixth inning of game with the Pittsburgh Pirates at the Coliseum in Los

Workouts for Bout
Houston, Tex. IP) Both
champ Joe Brown and chal
lenger Ralph Dupas worked
out lightly today as they put
on the finishing touches for
Wednesday n i g h t's world
lightweight champ i o n s h i p
fight here.
A crowd of 10,000 and a
Jate of $60,000 plus money
from national television is ex

tent. he first title bout in
Jeas history.
Both men spent some time
n tie light bag today, as well
as shadow boxing and doing
txercises. There was no spar

slight favorite to retain his
crown against the fancy-box-
Giardello Rips

San Francisco OPt Joey
Giardello is ready for Sugar
Ray Robinson and a shot at
the world's middleweight box
ing crown.
But is Sugar Ray ready for
Joey? Giardello. who says
he ll "fight anybody," won an
oldfashioned Pier Six brawl
from third-ranked Rory Cal
houn Monday night in such
convincing fashion that there
was no doubt about the unani
mous decision.
The judges and referee had
Joey ahead 99-90, 100-89 and
9S-91.
"I'm ready for Sugar Ray
or anybody," said the cocky
Giardello later in the dressing
room. "This was just a light
workout."
Actually, it wasn't quite as
easy as Joey claimed-or as the
voting indicated. Giardello
knocked Rory down for the
nine count in the fourth round
and had the collored lad on
the road to dreamland. But he
couldn't get in the finishing
punch, and Rory made a fight
of it in the last rounds.
It was a vigorous battle
from start to finish, and the
11,000 fans who jammed into
the Cow Palace where evan
gelist Bily Graham had been
preaching brotherly love for
the past week whooped it up
through the whole bout.

"made" the limit of 135
pounds, and that he would
weigh in at exactly that fig

New Orleans boy's followers
now seems to be just how
much the weight-dropping
problem has taken out of him.
An old eye cut has also
been troubling Dupas, but
trainer Angelo Dundee said
he thought the cut was fully
healed and a "punch shouldn't
open it."
In Brown's camp, the quiet
ly determined champ, also
from New Orleans, said he
would be shooting for a
knockout from the opening
bell.
"All I'm interested in is his
chin." the champion said. "I'll
be disappointed if it goes 15
rounds and I have to win by
a decision. I'm looking for a
knockout."

The 23-year-old New Yorker
tested his punching power
against a legitimate heavy
weight for the first time Mon
day night, flattening Artie
Miller of Gastonia, N.C, in
the sixth round of their widely-televised
fight at St. Nicho

"T hat victory definitely
puts Tony in the heavyweight
picture," said Ernie Braca,
Anthony's manager. "He may
not be ready for Floyd Patter

now he will be."
Stuart Leading
PCL Bat Stats.
San Francisco HP) Dick
Stuart, one - time home run
king of the lower minors, is
leading the Pacific Coast
League in hitting with a solid
.413 mark, according to ave
rages today and including
Sunday's games.
Stuart, playing for Salt
Lake City, also tops the cir
cuit in hits with 31 and runs-batted-in
with 18. Home runs?
He has four of those, com
pared with six for Tom Hal
ler of the Phoenix Giants.
In the pitching department,
Dick Hanlon has a 4-0 won
and lost record, but Gary
Bell, who has won 2, lost' 2,
leads in the E.R.A. department
with .56 of a run to each nine
innings. Bell also is tops in
strikeouts with 30 in the 32
innings he has pitched. i
down to his fifth straight de
feat without a victory, and
while Dodge owner Walter
O'Malley figures to make a
bundle in California, it cer
tainly hasn't proven at all
lucrative to the luckless, 21-year-old
righthander so far.
Five-Hitter
Roman Ray Semproch of
the Phils turned in a neat
five-hitter in achieving his
third win. The Dodgers scored
all their runs off him in the
fourth with Carl Furillo's two
run homer high-lighting the

By UNITED PRESS
If the parent Los Angeles
Dodgers are looking around
for some pitching talent, they
can find plenty on their Mon
treal farm club.
Only three Dodger pitchers
have managed to go the dist
ance since the season started
but righthander Billy Harris
gave the Royals their third
route-going performance in as
many games when he beat the
Havana Sugar Kings, . 10-4,
Monday -night.
The vctiory boosted Montre

the Giants knocked him out
with five hits and five runs.
Curt Raydon took over and
was tagged for a three-run
homer by Jablonski, after
which Ron Blackburn came on
to pitch for Pittsburgh and
was greeted by Cepeda's hom
er. Don Goss finally nailed
down the last out by getting
pinch hitter Don Taussig to
pop up with the bases loaded.
Frank Thomas hit his eighth
homer for the Pirates and
teammate R .C. Stevens also
connected. Ruben Gomez was
the loser.
Bob (River Boat) Smith reg
istered his first major league
victory as the Red Sox defeat
ed the Indians, 8-5.
Smith, a rookie southpaw,
needed help from big Frank
Sullivan in the eighth when
Cleveland scored its final two
runs but until that frame Dick
Brown's three-run homer in
the fourth represented all of
the Tribe's scoring.
Ray Narleski started for
Cleveland and was routed in

Boston while Pete Runnels

reinstatement today from the
USGA and immediately an
nounced that he would seek

Ward, winner of the title
in 1955 and 1956, was barred
from the 1957 event because
of accepting illegal expense
moneys from 1952 to 1957.
Rather than turn profession

"My game is a bit off right
now, but I hope to get it in
shape for the National Open
