London was counted out seconds after that pratfall picture was taken. Scogar Kay Eyes European Jaunt New York -4TPD- Sugar Ray Robinson, dethroned at mid dleweight champion by the National Boxing association and threatened by the New York State Athletic commis sion, may seek sanctuary In Europe. "I've been offered a big guarantee by Promoter Fritz Gretschell of Berlin to defend my title against Gustav Scholz if I'm forced out of my own country," said Sugar Ray today. Scholz, of Germany, is the fourth-ranking contender, but he has been rejected as chal lenger by both the NBA and the New York commission. Each organization insisted that 39-year-old Robinson de fend against former champion Carmen Basilio of Chittenan- go, N.Y.

Ortega is favored at 6-5 for this return bout. He won a split decision over Stitch by a single-point margin at Madison Square Garden Feb. 5. For the Wednesday bout, Giardello is favored because of his harder punch. Each was beaten in his last start, Giardello by Ralph (Tiger) Jones and Mims by Bobby Boyd.

RENEW TV CONTRACT New York -(DPD - Madison Square Garden announced Monday the renewal of a con tract with the Gillette Safety Razor company for the tele vising of Friday night fights, at 7 p.m. No charge is being made for admission. National Record Fans who would like to see a national record holder in action should be on hand at 6:30 p.m. The javelin is set for that time and Glen Win ningham who recently set the national prep best of 225 feet 6Vi inches is a member of the Grants Pass crew. A report from Grants Pass said that the Caveman spear tosser had a muscle ailment. But, he was kept out of ac tion last week end and rested J r , v. V fense against Basilio. And the independent New York com mission probably will follow suit if he fails to sign by May 15 for a Basilio match. Order Title Bout Although the European Boxing union has a working agreement with the NBA, it's uncertain whether the EBU would concur with the NBA in dethroning Sugar Ray were he to sign for the Scholz fight in Germany. West Germany is a member of the EBU. Dr. Ward Wylie, president of the. NBA, announced the withdrawal of championship recognition from Robinson at Mullens, W. Va., Monday. At the same -time, Wylie ordered a fight for the vacation crown within 60 days between for mer champions Basilio and Gene Fullmer of West Jor dan, Utah. Wylie said the Basilio-Fuil- mer winner would oeiena against an NBA selected chal lenger within 90 days there after, and that the challenger might be third-ranking Spider Webb of Chicago. As far as the United States, Canada and Mexico are con cerned, Robinson now is rec ognized as champion only in New York state. And he de clared flatly at a press confer ence Monday night he never would defend in New York as long as; the present box ing commission is in office." Charges Politics He charged that the New York commission had reject ed Scholz as an acceptable challenger and had insisted upon Basilio "because of poli tics and the lingering power of Jim Norris." Multi-million aire N orris was head of the court-busted International Boxing club monopoly. Now he is top man in a new organi zation, Chicago Boxing Enter prises. Despite Robinsons anti- New York proclamation, Chairman Melvin L. Krule- witch tf the New York com' mission said today, "I still hope Robinson will sign for a Basilio fight before May 15. We'd like to have that fight in New York state." What action the New York commission will take if Sug ar Ray fails to meet the May 15 deadline "will be decided when the time comes," the chairman said. Meanwhile, Promoter Nor- mna Rothschild of Syracuse, N.Y., announced that he had signed Basilio and Fullmer to fight for the vacant crown at Syracuse "in the summer or fall." He can not get commis sion approval of the match until after May 15. Robinson hasn't fought since he recaptured the 1'60 pound crown from Basilio on March 25, 1958. Despite his apparently des perate plight, Robinson de clared Monday night, "For a Basilio defense, I'm raising my demand for a guarantee from 750,000 to $1,000,000." v a X, f i ,i for this evening's battle. And, if he is in form, he is favored to take both hurdling events as well as the javelin. The other Grants Pass thinclad figured to win his event is pole vaulter Larry Holmes. For Medford, Mike Murray is picked to take top honors in the shot put, Len Griggs to capture the broad jump and George Koch and Jerry Shults to battle it out for top place in the high jump. There was some question yesterday as to whether Bruce Hiill would run for the Black Tor nado in the half-mile. He has the best time in Southern Ore gon in the event. Medford could sweep the broad jump. Don Peek of Medford and Marv Terry of Grants Pass are expected to battle it out in the 100-yard dash. Peek has a :10.2 best time and Terry has sprinted the- cen tury in :10.3. Griggs Time Bast Terry beat the Tornado's Griggs in the Rotary meet at Grants Pass in the 220 yard sprint but the Tornado speedster has a faster time this spring than Terry. There's a similar situation in the mile where Medford's Roger John son has turned in the better clocking but was trimmed by GP's Ken Simmons in a slow er time. In the relay Medford and Grants Pass combinations have traded triumphs but the Cavemen have been clocked faster. Ron Reich of Medford and Larry Johnson of GP have :53.4 recordings in the 440. Johnson beat out Reich in the Rotary meet. Bob Rix had an early season :52.3 but isn't slated to run in the quar ter tonight. Discus thrower Larry Nor- ed of Medford has the better distance in the book this year but was behind Roger Hoat- son of Grants Pass In the Rotary. .

SPORTS PARADE OSCAR FRALEY Sport Writer Cnited Press New York -(DPD If practice really does make perfect, i Wiffi Smith may be about ready after a three-year wait to take over from the late Babe Didriksen Zaharias as the boss of women's golf. The sturdy, stocky, freckled Wiffi hates to practice. Even so she averaged $9,000 a year in winnings on the ladies. pro golf circuit the past two years. But you have to practice and you have to think," she .admits in recognizing that she has failed to live up to her potential, "and I've started to do both." Wiffi was hailed as the "new Babe" when she turned pro at the end of 1956. She had been the youngest player ever to win the British Ama teur, added the French title and at 19 was the youngest ever to play on the U. S. Cur tis Cup team. She could wal lop it a mile but, although Wiffi won $10,251 in 1957 and $7,870 last year, the con sistency wasn't there. Likes Traveling Wiffi simply was having too much fun enjoying life. The California-born miss was a natural traveler, having been raised in such varied spots as Mexico, England, Ha waii, North Carolina, Tei:as, New Mexico and Michigan. Falling naturally into the life of the lady tee tourists, Wiffi soon showed she was a "collector" of - "happiness items" if not of as many dollar bills as expected. The list of her possessions is dazzling at least to other 22-year-olds. She travels in a foreign make midget bus which she labels the "Realesat" along with a Shetland sheep dog named "George," even though it happens to be a female. Wif fi has a show horse stabled on some acreage she bought in Southern Pines, N. C, as well as one vintage touring car named "Sussie" garaged in St. Clair, Mich,, for mid western travel and another named "Bernard" berthed in Westport, Conn., for eastern travel. looking forward to the Triangle Round Robin at the Canoe Brook Country Club in Summit, N. J., June 3-7. Wiffi finally has decided it's about time she started . collecting more cash. Improves Greatly 'This year I started to prac tice and it has helped mv game tremendously," she 'ad mits. "My three wood and my irons all have improved and so have my chip shots." There is more to playing golf than merely hitting the ball well, too, she has learned. 'You have to think," she explains. "So I'm picking my clubs better and taking into consideration such important things as where I am going to hit the ball, wind conditions and other factors. Before this, I wasn't paying too much at tention to them."
