Chuck Davey Wins Decision Over Graziano CHICAGO, UP — Chuck Davey, who won the most important fight of his caredr Wednesday; night because he wohldn’t wait for Rocky Graziano to throw a goi>d punch* took up waiting for another big payoff bout today. I . Davey, an undefeated welterweight with two Michigan State' . degrees, picked up his biggest, purse in 37 pro ■in which he has been undefeated, in beating down the-once - -nearly -1 - invincible ex-middleweight titleholder who won the name of “The Rock.” Rocky, who suffered his 10th defeat in 68 pro battles, swung his potent right hand, which' produced 52 knockout wins, in every round. But dancing mdkter Davey evaded practically every blast. And Davey guaranteed that Rocky was hit with d countefpunch after every blow. He moved away from Graziano every time the Rock swung, and he kept his right hand flicking in Graziano’s face throughout to keej) him off balance. ■ So good was Davey, whose next bout wals supposed to bd, syith the winner of the match between welterweight champion' Ki(l Gavilan and Billy Graham, that Riocky said, “God bjess him.” “1 only hope he \ makes as much money out of boxing as I did,” Rocky breathed in thei., dressing room. “I\gOt no excuses. He’s a , beauty of a boxer. Real cute and never gave me much of a chance.” Davey agreed with Graziano on the battle. “I figured Rocky could tag me if he got set, so ihy job was to make sure he didn’t get set,” he said. “I won wfth_my right, which kept him from, getting set. My left kept him from diving in; on me. I , ! fought the fight I had planned and j

Dodgers Lose, Lead Cut To Three Gaines BY UNITED PRESS It'isn’t those big nights out that are retarding the Dodger pennant is those days after. Charley Dressen, who manages to be philosophical in these perilous times, observed today that “every time we win a night game lately we rook louWy the next day like everybody was all tired However, his spirits spruced up when he also remembered that the Dodgers were still three games in front with only nine more to play for both the Dodgets and the Giants. That means that tpe combination atill is seven —any number of seven Dodger victories and Giant defeats wobid wlpenfhe Giants off the. books for 1952. And, of course, there is no night baseball, in the World Series —yet. That should eliminate the "afternoon after” problem—provided \the Brooks first solve the problem of getting Into the big whing-ding in \the first place. | ■Cbfty Howie Pollet, who had more than the guy who used to make a bird-cage disappear at the old Palace Theater, slowcurving the Dodgers into easy submission Wednesday with a 4 to 1 sjx-hit victory that, gave the Pirates three triumphs against 19 defeats in encounters with; Brooklyn this yearj George Metkovich supplied the horse-hide powejr with a paiP of homers that accounted fo,r three of Pittsburgh’s runs. The' Giants stayed alive by toppingl the Cubk, 2 to 0, as Jim Hearn tried a little magic himself and wound up with a five-hitter for his 14th- victory. A third-inning homer by George Wilson, subbing tor tie, .injured Monte Irvin, and a. firstinning .tally on singles by Davey Williams, Whitey Lockmah, and Wilken, plus Bobby Thomson’s infield put. gave Hearn all the hplp he peeded.
