A victory in that tourna

they Started the season with
high hopes that this might
prove to, be one of Rupp's
greatest teams.

WASHES EYE Sugar Ray
Robinson takes an eye wash
after his victory last night. He
easily shook off the ring rust
of nearly 21 months as he
knocked out Bob Young of
Providence, R.I., at 1:18 of
the second round. This is a
tune up fight for Sugar Ray
before meeting Paul Pender
at the Boston Garden Jan. 22.

Sugar Ray
Slugs Out
Victory
Boston - OIPD - The moral:
Don't shake up the Sugar
Man.
Bob Young found that out
Monday night as he served as
Sugar Ray Robinson's target
in the five-time middleweight
champion's return to the ring
battles after a 21-month lay
off. Robinson, only a few
months less than 40, was tun
ing up for a so-called title
bout Jan. 22 with Paul Pend
er of Brookline.
"I just goofed," said Young,
who hails from Providence,
R.I. and holds the New Eng
land light heavyweight title,
Young meant the instance
in the first round of the sched
uled 10-rounder at the Gar
den, when he saw an opening,
landed a good left hook and
then was too surprised to fol
low it up.
Robinson admitted the
punch hurt him
"Yes, he hurt me in the
first round," he 6aid. "I had
wanted to go five rounds af
ter such a long period of in
activity. But I saw he was
sharp and clever and I knew
it was either him or me."
Robinson, who admits to 38
though listed in the record
book as 40 next May, pro
ceeded to floor the 27-year-
old Young three times in the
second round before ending
it with a kayo at 1:18.
"I knew I couldn't gamble
after that first round," he
said. "He was very clever."
Robinson, who weighed 161
to Young's le?1, said he was
"right" when he first climbed
into the ring. "But I have a
lot of ham in me and I loosen
ed right up as soon as I saw
the crowd of 6,633."
Grants Pass was fourth in
state last year. This season
the Cavemen have, dropped
their only match, 22 to 17 to
Roseburg. Medford tied Cra
ter 20 to 20.
Five lettermen are among
those slated to appear in
counting matches for the Med
ford Black Tornado. They are
Dennis Pugmire, 114 pounds;
Wayne Fields, 135; Ray

Giants' Man
Named Top
Pitcher
Cincinnati, Ohio -UPD- Sam
Jones, workhorse righthander
of. the San Francisco Giants,
was officially confirmed today
as the National league's most
effective pitcher of 1959.
League figures revealed
that the 34-year-old Jones
compiled a league-leading
2.82 earned run average to
beat out teammate Stu Miller
and Bob Buhl of the Milwau
kee Braves in a close three
cornered race. Miller finished
with a 2.84 average and Buhl
had a 2.86 mark.
It was by far the most bril
liant year of Jones' career. He
had a 21-15 wOn-lost record,
struck out 209 batters in 271
innings, appeared in 50
games, pitched four shutouts,
had a nine-inning one-hitter
and a seven-inning no-hitter
and pitched 16 complete
games.
Miller, appearing in 59
games and 168 innings, had a
8-7 record while Buhl, who
worked in 31 games and 198
innings, had a 15-9 mark.
Warren Spahn and Lew
Burdette of. the Milwaukee
Braves were the other 20
game winners each finishing
with a 21-15 record that
matched Jones' figure. Spahn,
who has won 20 games a rec
ord 10 times for a N.L. left
hander, was fourth in earned
run average with 2.96 but
Burdette had a 4.07 ERA that
placed him way up the list in
that department. Burdette
gave up the most hits, 3 12,
and the most home runs, 38.
Elroy Face, the brilliant
little relief pitcher of the
Pittsburgh Pirates, won 17
Straight games and set a new
major league mark with an
18-1 season record that gave
him a .947 percentage. Face,
in 57 games and 91 innings,
had a 2.71 earned run aver
age but did not Qualify for
the "lead" in that department
because he did not appear in
154 innings.
