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

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.
