It Fulmer Favored To Retain Title By ED SAINSBURY Bozeman. Mont. -flJPI- Rug ged Gene Fullmer, a Mormon mink rancher from West Jordan, Utah, was a 12-to-5 favorite to defend successfully his NBA middleweight title tonight against challenger Joey Giardello of Brooklyn. Both fighters will weigh In, without any problems anticl pa ted, at noon e.s.t. today for their nationally tclevlzed match which was expected to draw nearly 12,000 fans Into (he Montana State College Fieldhouse. Snould that lhrong ,how up, it waI expected that the .ros, Mt for the bout. Mun- tana's second title fight in history, would surpass the previous record gate, $201,- 483, paid at the other cham pionship match when heavy weight titleholdcr Jack Demp sey decisioned Tommy Gib bons in Shelby, Mont., July 4, 1923. It was certain the crowd tonight would be a record for the state, since 10,000 tickets had been sold Tuesday night the previous mark was 7.202 fans at the Dcmpsey-Gibbons affair. Fullmer will receive one of his best purses, $100,000 plus expenses, while Giardello will get the largest payday of his career, $25,000 plus expenses. Both fighters expect the bout to go the scheduled 15 round distance. But should the match end earlier, it was likely that Fullmer would win. He has lost only four times In 55 fights and has been knocked out only once, by former champion Sugar Ray Robinson, May 1, 1957, 00 . was his first loss to San Diego in two years. Sacramento relied on Elmer Singleton, another PCL vet eran hurler, to get by Port land. Singleton was reached for only six hits in recording his second win of the campaign. Coma From Behind The Solons came from be hind twice to tie the score, 1-1, at the end of four, and 2-2, after seven. They won it in the Inst of the ninth on singles by Jim Bolgcr, Milt Smith and pinch-hittcr Bill Shields. The Seattle Rainiers had everything working lor them as they rolled by Salt Lake. Ray Ripplemeyer chalked up his first win of the season with a four-hitter in which he struck out six and walked only one. He was in trouble only in the eighth when the Bees loaded the bases, but a double play got him out of the jam. At the plate, the Suds were led by Bill Ham s grand-slam homer and Buddy Gilbert's bases-empty shot. 1 IVKSIOKKS: Spokane UOO 003 000 3 8 3 San Dro 000 301 10X 4. 8 Breetlm. NicoloAl 6i.
