Mary Blaylock broke up the duel with two out in the eighth when he tripled after Willie Jones had walked. Bob Turley was the victim of two unearned runs in the first inning and with Al Rosen’s 13th homer in the eighth. Eddie Robinson’s three run wallop in the ninth set it into overtime and then Noren, who beat Mike Garcia three weeks earlier with a 10th inning clout, repeated to give Garcia loss No. 10 against five wins. ..

Fighter Says IBC Definite Monopoly MEXICO CITY, Mex. (INS) — Paul Raton Macias, Mexico’s boxing idol, said today that a fighter who doesn’t play ball with the International Boxing Club willJieyer become champion. “Sure the IBC is a monopoly, but it represents the difference between being a second rater and wearing the championship crown,” said Macias, recognized by the National Boxing Association as the world's bantamweight king. The “Mouse,” ~as Ke has been nicknamed in Mexico, was answering criticism that his ex-manager, Pepe Hernandez, had ‘‘sold” him to the IBC. Macias said Hernandez made the contract with the fighter’s fall knowledge and consent, adding: “In order to become champion of the world in any division it is necessary to be ‘inside’ the IBC. “If nqj, that club boycotts a fighter and there is not enough power on earth to carry him to the championship. We signed with the club because it is the organization that can arrange a championship bout between me and Cohen.” Robert Cohen of France is ranked champion by all boxing associations other than the NBA.
