lunlay, June 14, 1959 San (Francisco May land Fight San Francisco-CPD-Promot-er Norman Rothschild said Saturday that San Francisco "stands the best chance at the moment" of landing the bout between Carmen Basilio and Gene Fullmer for the NBA's version of the world middleweight title. But the 39-year-old native of Syracuse added that he still has stops to make at Los Angel, Las Vegas, Denver, Milwaukee, Little Rock, In dianapolis and Chicago. Rothschild indicated that Chicago would not get the bout. Both fighters have had losing records there, he said. Rothschild arrived Saturday with4 a troupe which included Marv Jenson, who manges Fullmer, and Basilio's co-pilot team of John De John and Joe Netro. Rothschild promptly was whisked out to the Cow Pal ace by matchmaker Bennie Ford and President Fred Spiess of the San Francisco Boxing club who told him the fight scheduled for early in August would bring in $300, 000. "I was very impressed by the Cow Palace," Rothschild said. "It could put the Chicago stadium and Madison Square Garden in its hip pocket." Seeks $300,000 He said that $300,000 also was his asking price for tele vision rights to the bout, which will be just another fight as far as New York state Is concerned. The boxing com mission there still recognizes Ray Robinson as champion. Sugar Ray recently was strip ped of his crown by the NBA for not defending it since re gaining the title from Basilio in March of 1958. Rothschild hastened to point out that his junkets were not "a bill Rosenohn had designed to build up interest in Basilio and Fullmer. The bout doesn't need one." Rosensohn made similar checks at different cities be-. for settling on New York as Two Added To All-Stars Eugene, Ore.-(UPD-An Ad rian ball player and a Port lander were selected Saturday to round out the state and metro teams for the second an nual Oregon high school all star baseball game here June 27 at Bethel field.

CUSTOM TRAILER HITCH IGNITION Six for CrEil SUNDAYS 79 M1W V BHllllllHSllMa'a BBSK- -VAW "TO Complete Stock Casper Takes Slight Lead ! Over Hogan In U.S. Open Mamaroneck, N. Y. - (UPD -Barrel-shaped Billy Casper slogged through the mud to a fat three-stroke lead oyer Ben Hogan in the third round of the U.S. Open golf champion ship Saturday as old Slammin' Sammy Snead began a bril liant stretch run to end 19 years of frustration. The baby-faced slugger from Apple Valley, Calif., fired a two under par 36-33-69 for a two under par 54-hole total of 208. Early morning rain and lightning delayed play and postponed the closing round until Sunday. The rains and the muggi ness which followed didn't bother Billy, only 11 days short of his 28th birthday as he padded the one-stroke lead he had forged in the sec ond round. For his 69 pushed him three, shots in front of Ben Hogan when the mighty mite from Texas, shooting for a record fifth victory, fired a 36-35-71 for 211. But the man who thrilled the umbrella-toting crowds lining the lush fairways at Winged Foot Golf club was old Slammin' Sam. He blasted out a three under par 33-34-67 for a 212 which left him four shots away as he fought his way up from far back in the pack. There were .two others at 212 with Snead - Bob Ros burg, the man with the base ball grip from Palo Alto, Calif., and brawny Arnold Palmer. Rosburg matched Snead's hot round witfca 34-33-67 and Palmer slid back to them with a. 35-37-72. But the crowds were cheer ing Slammin' Sam, a senti mental favorite because in 18 despairing attempts he has fin ished second four' times and kicked it away a fifth. He had picked up only two shots on Casper, with his 67 against pudgy Billy's 69. but they fig ured in that final round today anything could haopen and he had ' a - golden chance from four shots "back. Casper's 208 was the sec ond lowest 54-hole total ever recorded in the open, sur passed only by Hogan's rec ord 207 at Riviera in 1948, and it was enough to push him three in front of Hoan, four ahead of Snead, Roseburg and Palmer, and five in front of the next three home pro Claude Harmon, Doug Ford and burly Mike Souchak. Those three were banked at 213. Harmon fired a 70 and Ford and Souchak skidded to 72's. Ford blew a big chance when he squished over par on the last three holes. At 214 came Ernie Vossler, the plum ber from Midland, Tex., with a 72 for 214, while Lionel He bert pounded out a par 70 for 215. Little Gary Player, the young South African hoping to be the first foreign winner since Ted Ray in 1920, blew up. He had been one shot back when the third round began but chopped out a 38-38-76 which dropped him to 216 with Bo Winninger. There was a host of them in Middlecoff and Jack Fleck, PGA champion Dow Finster wald, Don January, Ted Kroll and Dave Marr. Marr and Fleck shot 69's, to get that close but "dpen nerves" built up a situation between Middlecoff and Harmon. Receives Decision Middlecoff received a favor able decision from U.S.G.A. officials on an embedded ball on the 12th hole, getting , a free drop. .Harmon opposed the decision and there was a definite coolness between the players and they wordlessly left the 18th green. Back at 218 came Gene Lit tler with a 75; Joe Campbell at 218 with a 75; Henry Ran som and Billy Maxwell at 220; Chick Harbaret and Fred Wampler 222; Charley Coe at 225 with a 75; Art Wall 79 and 228; and singer Don Cher-" ry at 229 with a 79. Defending champion Tom my Bolt checked in with a 75 for 225 just as a violent thun derstorm interrupted play late in the day.
