NEW YORK (UP) Middle
weight Hardy Smallwood of Brook
lyn wasn't overly elated over his
majority decision over Ray Drake
today and instead was looking for
ward to meeting cither undefeated
Rory Calhoun or German Peter
Mueller.
Smallwood worked hard to get
the decision over Drake, but In the
end he was ucky to get the nod.
Referee Mark Conn penalized
Drake for hitting and holding tac
tics and that proved to be the dif
ference. Conn took the fourth and seventh
rounds from Drake and scored the
fight even in rounds and points. He
had It 4-4-2 In rounds and awarded
six points to each boxer. However,
Judge Artie Schwartz gave the
fight to Smallwood, 5-4-1 and Judge
Joe Eppy concurred, 6-4.
"Hardy wasn't too interested in
meeting Drake when he was In
training for Hip bout," Joe Bono
core, Smallwood's manager said.
"All he'd talk about was meeting
Calhoun, and I'm going to see If
I can get him (or Hardy. We re
also trying to line him up for
Mueller."

Basilio Says
Saxton Must
Come To Fight
CHICAGO 11 "If Saxton wants
the title let him come out and
make a fight of It," says welter
weight champion Carmen Basilio.
' That was the battle-scarred ex
Marine's way of telling challenger
Johnny Saxton that he has no in
tention of chasing a running target
in tnelr 15-round championship
contest at Chicago Stadium
Wednesday night.
"I like a man who comes In
and is willing to exchange," said
the 28-year-ol d 147-pound boss
from Chitenango, N.Y. "It takes
two to make a fight and any fight
er owes it to his public to give
them a run for their money.
Especially Saxton after a couple of
Dad ones he s been in.
"I Just don't like those guys who
make me do all the work," he
snapped after winding up his train
ing Monday for his second title
defense.
Saxton doesn't figure to pay the
slightest attention to Basllio's
words. He knows that the superbly
conditioned champ likes nothing
better than to mix it with an op
ponent. "I know that I can outbox him,"
said Saxton, a 25-year-old New
Yorker. "But I'm not, sure that I
can outslug him. So why should
I try to trade punches with him?
I'll box him all the way but I
won't run."
Their training finished, the fight
ers had practically nothing to do
Tuesday but listen to reports from
the boxoffice. Promoter James D.
Norris said there was $45,000 in
the till and that he expected a
crowd of 10.000 and a gate of $75,
000. With the $50,000 radio-television
money thrown in, each fight
er should collect about $33,000
apiece.

Boudreau
Holds Out
A's Hopes
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (UP)
Lou Boudreau held out hope
today that his Kansas City Ath
letics' would-leave the "have not"
class In the American League and
Join the "haves" within the next
three or four years.
Noting "quite an improvement
In mental attitude and personnel"
since he took over the team a year
ago, Boudreau pointed out It "will
take quite a lot to move any higher
than our sixth place flni3h" of 1955.
"We Just don't figure on beating
out the Yankees, Red Sox, Indians,
White Sox and Tigers this year or
for a couple of years to come,"
Boudreau explained. "But we hope
to Join those 'have' clubs when our
youth movement starts to mature.
It's a three or four year program
and until then we'll Just have to
do the best with what we've got."
He said he was well satisfied
with the finish of his team last
season his club was almost a
unanimous pick to wind up in the
cellar. But he admitted that "try
ing to get higher than 1st year is
taking on a job that might be too
much for us.
"Naturally, we're trying for the
first division, and we Just might
make it," he added. "However,
I'm now counting on it. But if we
finish sixth again 1 11 say this
we did it with a better ball club
than last year's."
He praised vie spirit of the play
ers this spring.
"It's quite a difference from last
spring when there was nothing but
a defeatist attitude in this camp,"
he said. "Now, the players are
out there trying."
At that time, catcher Joe Gins
berg, whom the Athletics pur
chased from Seattle came along
and asked:
"Skip. Is it all right if I take
some more batting and running so
long as Im not playing today?
"Go right ahead," Boudreau re
plied.
"See what I mean In the differ
ence in mental attitude," Boudreau
pointed out. "He's not playing in
the intra-squad game and although
he has worked out two hours he
wants to put in some more licks.
"That's the kind of spirit you
like on the club, and the kind we
have in this camp."
