"a ' Hal Wood's Weekend Short Shots- By HAL WOOD SAN FRANCISCO. (UPI) -Sat urday's shorts: Just 49 years ago today, July 4, 1910, Reno, Nev., was the fight capitol of the world. On this day Jack Johnson, 32, whipped Jim Jeffries, 35, who had come out of retirement to gain the world's undisputed heavyweight crown. A young feller, name of Tex Rick ard, was the referee. . . Another famous July 4 fight came in 1919 (he day Jack Dempsey made mince-meat out of Jess Willard, to win the title. . Lefly O'Ooul, two-time National League baiting champion of yes teryear, doesn't like baseball scor ers any better than unlucky Sm Jones. Sez O'Doul: "In the last game of the 1929 season, I hit a hall to deep short for what looked like a sure hit. We had a man on second who rounded third and started for home. The throw, in stead of going to first, went to third and they trapped him en route home. The score keeper ruled it a fielder's choice. It kept me from hitting .400! Instead I wound up with only .398." . Gene Fullmer and Carmen Bas- ilio, who meet for the world mid dleweight fight title here Aug. 28, have been boxing the country's top welters and middlcweights for a decade but never have met each other before. On the other hand, they both have fought Sugar Ray Robinson twice, winning one and losing one. . . The San Francisco Giants will start printing tickets for their new Candlestick Park Stadium next week for all home games during the month of September. Doesn t mean, of course, that they'll move into the stadium then. No certainty it will be fin ishedbut they'll be ready, just in case. . . The fight game is changing faster than the changing world: Used to be that only fighters and Ihcir managers travelled. Today, the promoters. travel. Bill Rosen sohn, who handled the Patterson .Johansson battle, loured the coun try (or weeks looking for a sile. Norman Rothschild, who will pro mote the Carmen Basilic Gene Fullmer fight here, did the same thing afler giving up on his home town of Syracuse. . . Guess the days of "Czars" and commissioners" are a thing of the past in the West. Now the Slate Athletic Commission has an "executive officer" (Jack Uroh), and the Athletic Association of Western Universities has the same title for its boss,' Tom Hamilton. . . v Ernie Nevcrs. the football im mortal from Stanford, doesn't want the younger generation to forget that he was quite some baseball player in his day, too. Ernie' was with the old St. Louis Browns for a spell. "I just want to go on the record as being one of the men who helped Babe Ruth hit those 60 home runs that year, says Ernie.
