Scoffing at
Ray Report
- Philadelphia-CPD-The camps
of both Carmen Basilio and
Gene Fullmer scoffed today at
Sugar Ray Robinson's an
nouncement that he has signed
to defend the world middle
weight championship against
Basilio here Sept. 21.
v Former champ Basilio, who
ays all he knows of the pro
posed deal is what he reads in
the papers, said in Syracuse,
N.Y., that the terms outlined
"sound like one of Robinson's
deals."
And Marv Jenson, manager
of Fullmer, insisted his fighter
and Basilio are signed to meet
for Robinson's vacated title in
Syracuse, sometime in July.
Ready- To Crack Down
Robinson was shorn of his
crown by the National Boxing
association nine days ago for
failure to defend since win
ning his title back from Ba
silio in Chicago on March 25,
1958. Robinson remains cham
pion in the eves of the non-
member New York Athletic
commission but that group is
ready to crack down on Sugar
Ray Friday.
There was uncertainty still
whether Sugar Ray's signing
to Philadelphia got him off
the hook in New York state.
Under a court order Robinson
has until Friday to "enter into
articles of agreement" for the
Basilio fight. Whether his solo
signing would be interpreted
as entering, into articles' of
agreement was questionable
The announcement of the
15-round rubber match as mu
nicipal stadium, with a gross
f $750,000 to $1,000,000 pre
dicted, was made by Alfred
Klein, a member of the Penn
sylvania Athletic commis
sion.

Colavito Brilliant
As Tribe Tips Yanks
By MILTON RICHMAN
United Press International
All's fair in love and war,
so the Indians are now using
a "rock", to knock off the
Yankees.
Thisparticular rock hap
pens to be Rocky Colavito and
what hurts, the Yankees is
that he was born and bred in
the Bronx and had always
dreamed of playing for them.
Tuesday night, he blasted
his eighth homer, two doubles
and a single in a 7-6 victory
that represents Cleveland's
third straight triumph of the
season over the slumping
world champions.
Cal McLish gave up homers
to Mickey Mantle,- Elston
Howard and Yogi Berra but
still wound up with his fifth
straight victory. He needed
relief help from Jim Perry to
protect Cleveland's IV2 game
lead in the American league
race.
Williams Makes Debut
The White' Sox went li in
nings to beat - the Red Sox,
4-3, and the Senators topped
the Tigers, 7-4. Rain post
poned the Kansas City-Baltimore
game.
Los Angeles climbed into a
tie for the National league
lead with a 3-1 win over Phil
adelphia; Pittsburgh nipped
San Francisco, 6-5, in 12 in
nings; St. Louis beat Cincin
nati, 7-4, and Chicago licked
Milwaukee, 7-3. i
Even , Ted Williams' first
appearance of the season
couldn't help the Red Sox in
their extra-inning struggle
with the White Sox. Williams
was hitless in five trips. Al
Smith's two-run homer in the
12th off loser Murray Wall
decided the outcome although
Jackie Jensen hit his eighth
homer off winner Rudy Arias
in the bottom of the 12th.
Harmon Killebrew, Wash
ington'sv new wonder boy,
slammed his- 11th and 12th
homers and drove in five runs
against Detroit. The 22-year-old
Killebrew hit a two-run
homer off Frank Lary in the
sixth to tie the score at 3-3
Casey Stengel Called
Push-Button Skipper
New York-(DPD-Frank Lane

tion today he called Casey
Stengel "nothing but a push
button manager."
"Maybe - the phrase isn't
original with me, but it cer
tainly applies to Stengel nev
ertheless," said the outspoken
Cleveland general manager.
"The man is a fairly capable
manager," Lane went on. "I
said fairly capable, nothing
more. He has a most astute
general manager in George
Weiss. Weiss supplies him
with the players and all Sten
gel has to, do is simply push
the buttons."

Gene Conley and the lead run
scored on an error by short
stop Joe Koppe.
Daniels . Gels Win
Pittsburgh came up with
three runs in the 12th to edge
the Giants, who rallied for
two runs in their half of the1
12th. Dick Stuart's double
and Bill Mazeroski's single
broke a 3-3 tie in the decisive'
frame and two more runs
crossed on A walk with the,
bases full and a single by
Roberto Clemente. Two 'er
rors by Clemente and one by
Don Hoak helped the Giants

bottom of the frame. Bennie
Daniels was credited with his
first victory.
Home runs by Gary Blay

Ken Boyer carried the Cardi
nals to their victory over the

Parade
New York-(DPD-It is not at
all surprising that under
James Joseph Dykes the De
troit Tigers have come off the
floor to win seven of the
eight games in which he has
handled the reins.
The Tigers were rated as
one of the class clubs of the
American League even though
they fumbled away 15 of their
first 17 games. Day by day
they became tighter than a
society doll's shoes and
couldn't win for losing.
The brash, irrepressible
Dykes was just what the doc
tor ordered, and vice versa.
Jimmie should make a real
run. of it with Detroit. First
because in the past he always
has been a hastily summoned
substitute to whom the neces
sity to produce ,is no new
situation. Second, in former
shots he has been with clubs
lacking talent to such an ex
tent v that James J. became
the greatest second hand deal
er in baseball.
Dykes has been a baseball
fixture since World War I
and, over the years, he has
learned of necessity ie tech
nique of getting the most out
of little.
"Ball players are just like
horses," he is wont to say.
"They will run for some
jockeys and play dead for oth
ers. Players are temperamen
tal and little things disturb
them."
Thus Dykes treats each play
er differently, coaxing and
wheedling or bossing auto
cratically. He lays down only
two hard and fast rules: Be
in bed by midnight and stay ,
U.S. Choice
In Walker
Cup Match
Muirfield, Scotland (DPD
Welsh pro star Dai Rees ad
mitted today that the British
Walker Cup team is in trouble
as a result of hot practice
rounds by Americans that
have suddenly made the U.S.
team the favorite for the
matches this week end.
' The U.S. team, which previ
ously had been rated only
even money, was changed to
a 2-3 choice, Tuesday after the
U.S. players followed a five-
under-par 67 by. Charlie Coe
of Oklahoma City, Okla., to a
brilliant showing on the Muir
field links. -
Coe's brilliant round was
two strokes lower than the
competitive record for the
course by an amateur, jointly
held at 69 by Americans Law-
son Little , durmg the 1935
British Open tournament and
Ed Kingsley 'during the 1948
British Open.

British team was a 69 shot by

Pat McMurtry, who was

The Irishman from Tacoma,

rounds - but was unable to
put him down.
The fight drew 1146 fans

McMurtry's most effective
punch was an overhand right
to the side of Sawyer's head.
His best round was the eighth
when he caught Sawyer with
a solid right to the jaw that
knocked the heavier fighter
off balance. Sawyer was on

in shape to play ball. There
are no frowns for an occasion
al schooner of suds as long
as a man behaves.
Jimmy long ago worked out
a sound solution to curb the
bright light Bennies. He has
what he calls "the Dykes form
letter." It says:
"Dear Mrs. Smith: Your
husband has taken to staying
out nights past the curfew.' I
would appreciate it very much
if you would find out where
he goes and why, and pass
this information on to me. Sin
cerely yours, James J. Dykes."
Provides Perfect Antidote
The letter then is shown to
"Mr. Smith," the wayward
ball player, and the night
forays come to a speedy halt
when Dykes advises him that
the missive will be sent to his
better half.
"You could break up my
home," raged one such player,
f "Seems fair," Jimmie re
torted. "You're breaking up
the team."
Dykes, brassy, cocky and
eternally loquacious, was the
perfect antidote for the Tigers
troubles. The game to him is
fun and he makes it so for
bis players. Like the time
when he was with the A's and
Rube Walberg invented a box
for magicians with which they
could make a person disap
pear. "Bring it out to the ball
park," roared Jimmy. "We'll
use it on the umpires." :
He'll gas 'em up, as proved
by those seven wins in eight
starts. And it's nice to see him
get a shot with some real tal
ent at long last. .
