G i Fullmer, In Titular By JACK CUDDY Salt Lake City, Utah -Wll-Carmen Basilio, grand little battler of the 1950's, tries to recapture the National Box ing association's version of the world middleweight crown tonight from bull ihouldered Gene Fullmer, the only man who ever stopped him. This return 15-rounder be tween 33-year-old Basilio of Chittenango, N.Y., and 28-year-old Fullmer of nearby West Jordan, Utah, will be televised nationally. However, because of the time-zone differences they'll square off at sundown here at Dorks field, where fair and continued warm weather has been promised. A crowd of 13,000 and a gate of $125,000 are expected at Salt Lake City's first world title fight. Fullmer is favored at 13-5 to beat Carmen again. Had Stopped Basilio The West Jordan mauler is favored because he stopped Basilio, former welterweight nd middle-weight champion, in the 14th round of their tight for the vacant NBA crown at San Francisco, last Aug. 28. The NBA had va cated Sugar Ray Robinson's title for his failure to defend. In that San Francisco fight, which reached a thrilling competitive peak in the sixth round, left-hooker Basilio was so exhausted in the 14th that his handlers asked the referee to stop the bout. In the dress ing room, victorious Full mer's face showed bruises and cuts in several places. Basilio hasn't fought since. He took a long rest and then went into serious training.

Es les Kefauver's bill to bring organized baseball under the anti-trust laws today ap peared dead for this session of Congress. The Senate, striking a heavy blow at the proposed new Continental League, voted 73-12 Tuesday night to send the measure back to the judiciary committee where it is expected to remain until Congress adjourns. Sen. John A. Carroll (D Colo.), a leading supporter of the measure, threw in the towel and proposed recommit ing the bill when the Senate approved an amendment by Sen. Alexander Wiley (R Wis.). Wiley's provision, adopted 45-41, was aimed at cutting the heart from Kefauver's bill. Its effect would have been to eliminate player draft provision and other sections opposed by organized base ball. William Shea, a guiding force behind the projected Continental League, said in New York the Senate action was a severe blow but "it still doesn't knock us out of the box." 1st Half Toga In NW on Line By ROY WEBSTER United Press International The first - half Northwest League pennant is on the line tonight. A win for Yakima will give the Bears the first-half crown. A loss and a Tri-City win could postpone the title de cision until Thursday when the first half officially is slated to end.

Oregon track coach Bill Bowerman said Burleson was running a slight fever. "If he breaks the fever, he could compete favorably but would not be in top shape for the Palo Alto trials," Bower man said. "However, if he still has a temperature by Fri day, it would be folly for him to run and stupid on my part to let him." Green Pitches Phills' Victory Philadelphia-IUPIiDon Drys dale and Sandy Koufax, en during perhaps their most dis mal year as major leaguers, pitch for the Dodgers tonight against the Philadelphia Phil-lies-The "Fizz Kids turned Whiz Kids" of 1960. While the current Phillies hardly compare at this stage with the pennant winning 1950 aggregation, they show ed considerable class Tuesday night in a 2-0 victory over the puzzling Dodgers. The current Whiz Kids edi tion added a new member Tuesday night in Dallas Green, who posted his first win with a thret-hltter over the Dodgers. Frank (Pancho) Herrara's solo homer in the seventh in ning was the big blow for the Phillies. Philadelphia got its lead in the first on back-to-back dou bles by Tony Gonzales, a young recruit from Cincinnati and Tony Taylor, a former Cub. Stan Williams, the Dodger starter, suffered his second loss in the contest against six wins. He was very much in the game, however, until the seventh when Herrera kept alive his 20-game hitting streak with his homer to right field. Green, 25, pcimltled but one extra base hit-a double by Charlie Neal. STANDINGS National League W 1, Pet.

American League Pittsburgh Awaiting Tilt Ruling Pittsburgh -ll'Pli- The Pitts burgh Pirates today waited for a ruling from National League President Warren Giles on whether they would have to play the second game of a doubleheader in Phila delphia July 10. Pirate pitcher Bob Friend, the club's player representa tive, said Tuesday night that the team decided against play ing the contest because it would be "too strenuous." Friend pointed out that the team is slated to play a night game July 9. The contest in question was re-scheduled be cause of rained out games earlier this season. "We feel that this double header is coming at an im portant time of the season when we are making a run for the pennant," Friend stated. "Even the owners and the ball players had agreed that a doubleheader should not be played after a night game," he said. "We feel the game can be played at another date." The July 10th game origi nally was scheduled as a single contest. But the Pi rates were rained out in Philadelphia April 24 and June 4 and the twin bill was scheduled as one of the make up games.

Back-to-back triples by subs Felipe Alou and Andre Rudgcrs highlight ed the rally. But the Pirates - who have won 12 games this year by coming from behind - fought back gamely.
