Fight time is 6 p.m. (pst) and the two lads will be pick ing up some of the biggest checks of their varied careers for the scheduled 15-round bout. A crowd of about 15,000 is anticipated, with a gate of $200,000. Another $100,000 will come from radio and TV nights.

Crater Lake Motors MAIN & FIR MEDFORD gets 35 per cent, Fullmer 25 per cent. The two bruising body punchers, both former holders of the now-vacant crown, bat tle pretty much alike -but think differently. Basilio Expects to Win Thursday, for instance, Full mer whiled away the time reading books on philosophy and religion. Basilio loafed and played poker. "I expect to win it," 'says Basilio, the crag-faced veter an. "It's the most important fight of my career. My future depends on it." Basilio's co-managers, John Netro and John DeJohn, will be at ringside in an unofficial capacity- They have not ap plied for manager's licenses because they know that they would be denied by the Cali fornia State Athletic commis-. sion. "We would have been turn ed down," says Netro. "There was no use in applying. We told an inquiry in New York Sugar Still Ring King In 2 States By HAL WOOD San Francisco -(UPD- Round number X is coming up in the "Waltz Me Around Again Willie" middleweight boxing situation. Carmen Basilio meets Gene Fullmer for the National Box ing association version of the world crown tonight. But Sugar Ray Robinson still is king in New York and Massachusetts. And you can bet your bot tom dollar that the winner of tonight's brawl eventually will clash with Robinson for the over-all crown. Both Fullmer and Basilio have battled the unpredictable Robinson before with varying degrees of success in the ring -but with fine financial re wards. Here Are The Records: Fullmer whipped Robinson in 15 rounds for the title on Jan. 2, 1957. In a return match on May 1. Robinson won on a fifth-round kayo. That same year, on Sept, 23, Basilio licked Robinson in 15 rounds to win the crown. But on March 25, 1958, Sugar Ray won the title back, in 15 rounds. This time Fullmer and Ba silio are fighting for the championship because the Harlem Negro has refused to defend it since winning from Basilio. The NBA stripped him of the crown-and the New York commission was considering the same action before Robinson decided to defend against Paul Pender, a lad ranked No. 8 by Ring Magazine. San Francisco-TCPS Gene Fullmer held a 3'2 pound weight advantage as he tipped the scales at 159Vi for his middleweight cham pionship bout tonight with Carmen Basilio. Basilio. weighing the heaviest of his career, was a surprising 156 pounds. Fullmer was expected to put on another two or three pounds before the bout starts and will carry into the battle with him a weight edge of about six pounds. xThe two fighters, both scowling, weighed in at the Athletic Commission offi ces with about 200 fans and hangers-on watching. that we paid Gabe Genovese money for "services ren dered." So we get blackballed for it." Trains Hard Genovese was sentenced to two years last month for be ing an undercover manager for Ludwig Lightburn in 1956. Basilio will be managed for this fight by Angelo Dundee, his chief second. Fullmer with 151 rounds of boxing, plus dozens more with the heavy bag, believes he is at the peak of his career. At 28 years, he is four years younger than Basilio. He will weigh seven or eight pounds more and will have a two-inch reach advantage. "I've trained harder for this fight than ever before," says Fullmer. "And I have devel oped a hew punch-extra pow er that should win it for me."

United Press International Just a week ago they were still talking pennant for the Portland Beavers. Now they are beginning to wonder how far the Beavers will drop be for the Pacific Coast league season ends. Portland lost its seventh game in its last eight starts at Seattle Thursday night, 2-0. Bob Mabe tossed a six hitter at the Beavers who now are in fifth place, 5Vi games from the top and 4 games ahead of seventh-place Seattle. Howie Reed, who held Seattle to five hits in his seven-inning turn . on the mound; was charged with his seventh defeat against . as many victories. Seattle scored once in the fourth on a double by Lou Skizas and a single by Rudy Regalado and again in the sixth on a double by Paul Pettit and a single by Bob Thurman. Johnson Goes Tonight Portland will throw its ace Kenny Johnson, against the Rainiers tonight to try to stay above the .500 mark. Dick Hall hurled his 17th victory to give Salt Lake City a two -game lead over the pack. He scattered five hits as the Bees clobbered San Diego 9-2. In other games Phoenix nipped Sacramento 3-1 and Vancouver lost 7-6 in 10 in nings to Spokane. Hall had a shutout until the ninth inning when the Padres touched him for two tallies. Podbielan Loses The Bees backed the 6-6 right-hander with a 15-hit barrage including a two-run homer by R. C. Stevens. Bud Podbielan, now 11-4, was tagged with the defeat. Tony Roig drove home Bobby Lillis with a 10th in ning single to give Spokane its come - from - behind foot stomper. Roig was the goat turned hero in the ame. Earlier he had committed a pair of costly errors and had struck out three consecutive times. Then in the eighth, he bashed a solo homer to help set the stage, for his game ending blow. Nine pitchers took the mound in the four hour con test. Phil Paine got credit for the win, Dick Fitzgerald the loss. Joe Taylor and Frank Kellert homered for the Mounties. Phoenix Nips Solons Marshall Renfroe scattered six hits whil pitching the Gi ants to their 3-1 win over Sacramento in the battle of the fading lillies. Roger Mc Cardell homered for the Gi ants and Karl Heron account ed for the Sac tally with his first PCL homer.

Pete Gongola and Ron Liptak each belted two-run homers for the losers. Medford High school has prospects for a good football team this fall but the opposi tion is going to be tough, too, head coach Fred Spiegelberg said Wednesday in a talk at the Rogue Valley Country club! Spiegelberg spoke on the outlook for the Black Tor nado, told of the possibilities and some of the leading candi dates at the various positions and reviewed the opposition. The . mentor listed the strength at ends as real good with Lowell Dean, Jerry An derson, Booth Deakins and Bob Quinney heading the as pirants. Deakins' future with Tornado, however, is uncer tain since his parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Deakins, have sold the family home here and are looking for a place near San Francisco, possibly at San Mateo. Whether Booth will remain here for this school year is uncertain. Spiegelberg spoke of good replacements behind the fore going four players. Size Down In mentioning the tackles, the tutor mentioned that the Tornado does not have the size at the position it had last year. He reported Dennis Jen sen, John James, Jim John ston, Gordon Pathman, Lynn Knight and Terry O'Sullivan among the tackles. Listed among the guards were Keith Berg, Bill Hobbs, Reggie Breeze, John Pierce, John Frohnmayer and Terry Earl. The latter, the coach said, is still working. Spiegelberg stated that the Tornado is "hurting" at the center slot. There are two eligible lettermen but Pat Mc Laughlin is still sidelined by an injury suffered last spring and Doug Kliever may not turn out. The coach said that Chuck Shaw, Warren Parke, Chuck Holt and Bruce Bray are among those drilling at the pivot spot. At quarterback, according to the mentor, there are Dick Ragsdale, Ray Konopasek and Calvin Dean. Skip Bennett, Ken Durkee and Mike Mc- Cullough were among those listed at left halfback while right halfs include Leonard Griggs and Mike Hood. Among fullbacks are Dan Sieg, Al Funston, Bill Charley and George Clearwater. Spiegelberg, while not over looking Orland, Calif., report ed that Beaverton, Marshfield and South Salem should pro vide real tough opposition for the Black Tornado in its warming up for Southern Ore gon conference play. The mentor indicated that the psychological strategy in gearing Marshfield players is already underway in Coos Bay. Medford is being rated as No. 1 in the state, according to the propaganda out there, he said. Speaking of Southern Ore gon loop rival Grants Pass, Spiegelberg said that club could be hurting in the back field but will have a big, rugged line. The Tornado, which stressed offense in early drills, has turned some attention to de fense in preparation for a Saturday morning scrimmage, Spiegelberg reported today. He said that the Medford squad has worked on team defense, including pass de fense and individual work. The" coach sounded elated over the speed demonstrated by backfield men. Squad turnout is down now to about 75 youths, according to the coach. Early drills had averaged about 85 boys. FLORISTS BEATEN Portland (UPD The North west All-Stars defeated the Lind Florists 2-0 Thursday night in a softball game here as Jess Safarik drove in both runs with a single in the fourth inning.
