Fullmer And Robinson In Title Fight CHICAGO (UP> — Sugar Ray Robinson will shoot the works and gamble on a knockout tonight in his age-vs-youth return title fight with middleweight champion Gene Fullmer at Chicago Stadium. That last - minute disclosure was made today by George Gainford, long-time co-manager, who said, “Ray will cut loose with everything he’s got and try for a knockout in six or seven rounds. “He couldn’t beat Fullmer by boxing him over the distance at New York in January; so he'll go all-out to stop him early this time.” Accordingly, the expected 14,000 fans will see 36-year-old Robinson gamble on tagging 25-y ear -old Fullmer with the first knockout of his career or suffering a kayo loss that will send him into permanent retirement. On National TV Promoter Jim Norris predicted a gate of $200,000. An additional SIOO,OOO has been paid for ABC's national telecast and broadcast at 10 p.m. e.d.t. There will be a TV blackout on a 150-mile radius in the Chicago area. Stocky, muscular Fullmer, a mining welder from West Jordan, Utah, took the 160-pound crown from Slender Ray on a unanimous 15-round decision at Madison

Square Garden, Jan. 2. Tonight's return 15-rounder stimulated .the heaviest fight - betting in years. The champion is favored at 2-1, and it’s "even money" that Robinson doesn’t . last the distance. A month ago, Fullmer was a 4-1 choice. If Ray beats Gene tonight he will be the first man in ring history, in any division, to win the same title four times. Robinson was also welterweight (147-pound) champion before he campaigned for the 160-pound bonnet. Fullmer’s Record Since copping the title Fullmer has had two non-title bouts with Wilf Greaves and Ernie Durando and suffered a brow cut in each. And he was unimpressive in training. However, the Mormon mauler is a chipa-down fighter, not a gymnasium petformer. His 40 victories in 43 fights attest his prowess. Robinson lost but five of his 147 bouts, and he was stopped only once —when he collapsed between rounds from the heat in his attempt to wrest the light heavyweight crown from Joey Maxim in 1952. Because of his rare prowess, most experts have tabbed him “an all-time great” If tonight’s show draws its expected $200,000 gross gate, each fighter should wind up with about $78,000. Each receives 30 per cent of the net gate and TV-radio money. It would be Fullmer's largest purse. 1 Tonight’s fight will be scored by a referee and two judges on a five-point-must system. The winner of a round gets five points and the loser, from one to four. For an “even” rounds, each gets five points,

Williams And Musial Leading Major Hitters By MILTON RICHMAN United Press Sports Writer Stan Musial is murdering the ball at a .476 clip and Ted Williams is right up there at .426, so if there are any questions about either slowing up, please don’t ask them within earshot of all those shell-shocked National and American League pitchers. Musial claims he’ll quit only after he collects his 3,000 hit. He got his 2,800th and his 2,8015 t against the Pirates Tuesday night and his last hit was a 13th inning homer that gave the Cardinals a 6-5 victory. Williams says he’ll hang 'em up when he has enough money but if he continues to blast the ball as he did Tuesday night — with three hits, including a homer in Boston's 3- triumph over Kansas City—he might decide to keep going indefinitely. In other American League games, Chicago held on to first place with a 6-1 decision over Baltimore; Clevelahd defeated Washington, 5-1, and Detroit nipped New York, 2-1, in 10 innings. Giants Shutout Braves The Giants blanked the Braves, 4- Brooklyn topped Chicago, 10-9, in 10 innings, and Cinci dtnniaefeated Philadelphia, 6-3. Musial's game - winning blow came off Pirate relief ace Elroy Face after Pittsburgh had rallied with five runs in the ninth to send the game into extra innings. Wally Moon and Del Ennis also homered for the Cards. Williams slammed a homer, double and a single off Kansas City loser Ned Garver. Knucklebailer Willard Nixon limited the .Athletics to three hits. Bob Lemon and Ray Narleski combined efforts to produce a twohit performance in Cleveland’s victory over Washington. Lemon gave up both hits before yielding to Narleski in the eighth. Frank Bolling’s 10th inning hom--1 er off reliefer Bob Grim of the Yanks was the payoff wallop in the Tigers’ victory. Duke Maas, owner of a 0-7 record with Detroit last year, checked the Yankees on three hits while registering his second Win of the campaign. Pierce Wins No. 3 A four-run rally in the seventh ■ inning gave southpaw Billy ■ Pierce of the White Sox his third victory in a game against the Orioles. Ray MOore held the White • Sox-toAWfe hits until the seventh but they put together their rally with a double, hree singles and a walk. Little Don Zimmer, filling in for ■ sidelined Peewee Reese, collected five hits to help the Dodgers to their victory over the Cubs after Brooklyn had blown a six - run lead. Zimmer’s 10th inning homer off Dave Hillman, Chicago’s seventh pitcher, broke up the game. Left - hander Johnny Antonelli of toe Giants limited the Braves to seven hits and contributed a two-run homer in gaining his second victory. The loss was only Milwaukee’s second in 11 games. Burly Brooks Lawrence snapped Cincinnati's three-game losing streak as he scattered nine hits and settled down after a shaky start against the Phillies.

McHale Is Defroif General Manager DETROIT (UP) -Johnny McHale was promoted to general manager of the Detroit Tigers Tuesday and like his predcessors, Charley Gehringer and Herold D. (Muddy) Ruel, he didn’t waste time with talk. Less than two hours after McHale was introduced as the Bengals’ fifth general manager in the last six years, it was announced that he had made a trade with the Boston Red Sox, obtaining outfielder Karl Olson and sending utility man Jack Phillips to toe Red Sox’ San Francisco farm club. At 35 McHale is the youngest general manager in the majors.. When he couldn’t make the grade as first baseman with toe Tigers he was offered a job in the farm system after toe 1957 season. The grooming process has taken 10 years. McHale was assistant to first Red Rolfe and then Ruel. When Ruel moved up to the general managership in 1953, the native Detroiter was made head of toe farm system. McHale played baseball and football at Detroit’s Catholic Central High School and Notre Dame. He signed a Tiger minor league contract in 1941. His best years were in 1945 when he hit .313 and 1947 when he clouted 27 home runs, both at Buffalo. Gehringer will act as an advisor to McHale, Tiger President Harvey B. Hansen said. Gehringer also is a vice president of toe team. Hansen also said that club Scretary - Treasurer Harry M. ison was elevated to executive vice president.
