Turner Flattens Fuentes Merchants Still Have Chance tfi.MDih Merchants Hi Hatlieiu s AJa"iw ' 7 bit the road again this weekend for an encounter who um semi-pros. -A win for the locals would give them a good c1" end their season in a deadlock for the top spot of the league. The merchants are currently in the cellar but a win over Alturas and a win from Burns who in vades Klamath the following week end would put them in a tie lor the title. Manager Hatfield plans to use the same Uneup he used against Burns last week when they were in s Frsn Miller will open on the mound and Ron Ow- ineQ will 00 me retciviita. The infield will consist of George Hanson at first, Dick Lundsten NEW YORK iPt Gil Turner, a sensational on--""ch knockout winner over Fuentes, is willing to bi time, waiting for another i ,iot at Welter Camp Kid Gavnan. Turner probably will have to take his place Is line, anyhow, for it is reported that Gavilan will defend next against' Carmen Basilio at Syracuse Sept. 18. No official an nouncement has yet been made. "We're willing to wait six months, even a year, if neces sary," said George Katz, Turner's manager, last night at Madison Square Garden after Gil's KO win in 2:49 of the fifth round. "The cut over his left eye will keep him out for about a month," he said. "And I hear Johnny Grat ton ha.v been promised the title shot. The kid is learning how to pace himself, getting a little more power in his punches. He's just a kid and he's getting better all the time." The Philadelphia Negro said he followed his battle plan for the knockout, waiting for "just one shot." . s "I never knocked anybody out with one punch in my life,." he said. "Funnv thing, it was easy. Just like I worked it in the gym." Turner flattened the Los Angeles lad with a long right hand to the "button" Just when he seemed to be hard pressed in the fifth round. Two officials had Gil out front but Judge Arthur Susskind saw it even 2-2 going to the fifth. Referee Ruby Goldstein had 3 for Turner and 1 even and Judge Frank Forges saw Turner on top 3-1. A small crowd, estimated at 2,500 with 7,000 receipts by the International Boxing Club, saw Fuentes bother Turner as they fought head to head until the sud den ending. It was the second time 27-year-old Fuentes had been stopped in 2 pro fights. Turner kept banging away to the body un til he got his opening. Turner, stopped by Gavilan last year in 11 rounds in a title bout, added to his prestige by knocking out Fuentes, who went 10 with the Cuban Keed as recently as July 15.
