r- jClamatb wer Washing! 'i si Fr Regional Title, J Tiger Defeats Fullmer IBADA.V. Nieeria (UPlt Mid dleweight champion Dick Tieer of Nigeria gave American Gene Fullmer such a terrific beating and blood bath Saturday night in their third title fight that Gene couldn't see at the end of the seventh round and "retired'' from the bout. Fullmer's defeat will go into the record books as a seventh- round technical knockout, referee "Jack Hart of England said. Although 32 - year old Fullmer of West Jordan, Utah, suffered ' the worst whipping of his career, . he declared in the dressing room: ," "I don't know whether I'm go- ing to quit fighting. It's too soon ,'to decide. 1 just don't know. Face Gorv " Genes face was a gory mess .at the end of the seventh from cuts above and below both eyes. '.But it was a deep gash on the right brow and the river of blood .. that flowed down into, the right cye that caused Fullmer to sig . nal the referee and disclose that he couldn't see out of the right eye. Fullmer was included with the . idolized Tiger in the frenzied cheers of more than 35,000 swel tering in the outdoor Liberty ' Stadium, when referee Hart sig naled that Tiger was the victor. The American, who had lost - the title to stocky, 33-year-old Tiger in their first fight and had held Tiger to a draw in their scc- ' ond, didn't have a chance, it was - apparent almost from the opon- ing bell. Tiger lived up to his name and up to the expectations of his ad 'mirers as he lore into Gene in ' every round.-And the big differ ence this time was that Dick wouldn't let Fullmer evade his tanklike attack, which trapped the American again and again on the ropes and had him bewildered and half-groggy in the opening session. Fullmer Weighed lf.0 Fullmer weighed exactly 1BU pounds, but he had to remove his red boxing trunks at the . weigh-in to do it. Dick scaled l.. Tiger who stretched his unbeat en string to 10 straight bouts, in cluding a draw, praised Gene by saying: "This fight was tougher than our first one at San Fran cisco, but not as tough as our second at Las Vegas. At Vegas I couldn't catch him. Tonight I did." - Fullmer, halted for only the ! second time in his career of 62 ' fights, seemed half groggy and !! perspiring too much from the heat in the second round. And the excited crowd began to sense ' that he was on the way "out." ' In the third round, small cuts began to show under both of Gene's eyes. But Tiger shifted his attack to the body and al most folded him with smashes to ' ribs and stomach. Gene suffered a terrific battering in the fourth, almost without return, until it seemed that the bell may have saved him on his feet. : - fed?! - .

The victory put the Klamath Falls team in -the regional finals Saturday night against Aberdeen, Wash., a team which they beat Friday night, 3-1. That was an all or nothing game for both teams. The winner of that game became the regional champion and gained a berth in the Babe Ruth World Series to be held in Farmington, N.M., Aug. 18-24 This, undoubtedly, was the finest comeback performance by a team in the tournament. Wil liams, who just pitched Thursday night to give Klamath a win over the Idaho State champions pitched to the setenth inning but gave way to Dave Lyman who got the win on three pilches. , Saturday afternoon it was Wil liams who returned the favor by coming into the game in the first inning from his catcher's posi tion to lend a helping hand to Lyman. Lyman started on the mound but just didn't have it. Before Coach Bob Moore could get the two to switch positions, the Montana team had three runs, two more on base and no outs. Babe Mathers St After 4-3 Vkto Falls, Ore. Sunday, Williams was splendid. He Al lowed a bunt to the first batter he faced which went as an er ror. He walked the next batter. About that time was when he decided to hitch up his belt and go to work. He whiffed the next two batters to retire the side and was near invincible the remain der of the game. He gave up only a 'hit to Frank Kellanick in the third inning, the third hit of the game for Montana. The two hits they got off Lyman were bunts. Williams whiffed 10 in his stint and struck nut the side in the seventh and final frame so as to make sure there would be no slip-up. Williams, however, got some tremendous batting help from his pitching mate and good friend Bob Moore. Moore, playing first base, had a perfect day at the plate. He slammed a tremendous 4C0 - foot home run in the fourth to give Klamath its first run of the -game and hit two doubles to KBAA Track Team Very Well EUGENE Klamath Basin Ath letic Association's athletes turned in fine performances,- in the Em erald Empire Games here Satur day by grabbing 14 first places.

The big winners for the Klam ath aggregation were a pair of girls, Leah Taylor- and Janis Nar ramore. They both broke KBAA and EEAA records and got tro phies for their efforts. I-eah Taylor, running in the six and under category for girls, raced to a brilliant 41.1 220-yard dash record.' The EEAA mark was 44 5 and Miss Taylor shat tered that mark easily. Miss N'arramore set the other record for the EEAA in the broad jump, 15 and older age group.

Nationals Saturday night accom plished something no other Klam ath Falls Balie Ruth team before tliem ever could do. The Nation als won the Regional Babe Ruth championship w hen Bullet" Bob Moore, throwing w ith less than 24 hours rest, fired a magnificent two-hitter to beat Aberdeen. Wash., 7-0. Thus the Klamath Falls team. truly a great one, w ill go to the Babe Ruth World Series in Far mington, N.M., for the world tournament there Aug. 18 - 24.

It revenged that loss Saturday aft ernoon in gaining the finals with a 4-3 eome-from-behind victory with Bob Williams doing the mound honors in relief of Dave Lyman in the first inning Moore, who had just tlnown Friday night in beating this same Washington team for the first time in the tournament, also on two hits, was superb. He had less than 24 hours rest and played in the afternoon game at first base. He allowed Washington only four hits in 14 innings of baseball. He struck out eight Saturday night nnd had only wo balls hit out of the infield, and those after the fifth inning. He walked only three and really buckled down in the clutch. In addition to this Moore also got 10 hits in 19 at bats during tlie tournament for a fantastic 526 average. Dave Lyman was tlie leader, however, as he led the tournament with 12 hits in 19 trips for on amazing .632 mean.

Moore led off with a walk and Lyman struck out. both advanced on a wild pitch. Kim Badley walked to till the bags and Greg Brostcrhous's squeeze bunt was perfect as Moore slid home satcly.

He felt even then that the Klamath team would do it.
