I Ray Robinson Regains Title From Basilio CHICAGO (UP)— Sugar Raj Robinson, the ring’s “miracle man" who fought his heart out to win the middleweight crown for an amazing fifth time, was too exhausted today to decide about a “rubber match" with heroic, half-blinded Carmen Basilio in June. Robinson, who had to be halfcarried out of the Chicago Stadium after recapturing the 160•pound crown from gallant, bloodsmeared Carmen, Jay listlessly on a bed this rAorning as he told ft press conference: “He’s the toughest guy I ever fought — and I’m too all-in to consider fighting him again now." He was uncertain whether to continue in the ring or to retire as champion and go into movies. Promoter Jim Norris said, “I’d be delighted to arrange a third Robinson-Basilio match in June—after their two great fights." Big Draw in Rubber Match Many boxing men believe the "rubber match” would draw a million-dollar gate at New York’s Yankee Stadium. Robinson, 37, a 7-5 underdog because he had lost the title to Basilio, 30. of Chittenango, N.Y.. on a split decision at Yankee Stadium last Sept 23, treated 17,976 fans to one of the greatest performances of his 18-year career Tuesday night. And Basilio wun his left eye tightly closed from the 6th round to the finish, made one of the gamest defenses ever seen in any ring, as he risked the title for the first time in a zig-zag battle that had the fans on their feet in almost every round. Their genuinely classic battle attracted the second richest indoor gate in history— $351,955 gross and $278,108 net — and it drew a gross theatre-TV gate throughout the U.S. and Canada of approximately $1,500,000 paid by more than 400,000 spectators. 30 Per Cent Each Sugar Ray and Carmen, receiving 30 per cent each of all net receipts, will wind up with at least SIBB,OOO apiece. Robinson, weighing' 159 3 /4 pounds to Carmen’s 153, was much more aggressive than in their Septem- , Jjer bout, and his long left

left hooks, and right uppercuts several times hprt the rugged onion farmer’s son, who in 72 fights had never been stopped and has been floored only once. Because of Ray's aggressiveness and Basilio’s natural wadein style, the fight quickly developed into an ultra-rough match in ‘ which each tried to batter the ’ other with forbidden "rabbit ‘ punches’’ to the back of the head. , belt one another when referee Si- [ kora was breaking them, and butt ’ at times with the head. ’ At the finish, after Basilio had 1 been on the verge of groggy land * ’ in the 15th round, and two judges. J L voting on a five-point must basis ; ■ favored Robinson: John Bray, 71- ! 64, and Spike McAdams. 72-64. ' But referee Sikora had Basilio ’ ahead, 69-66. Robinson Takes Early Offensive } In the early rounds Robinson J ’ took the offensive, but Basilio's 1 counter charges in the Ist and - 1 2nd sessions gave him an edge. c , Sugar Ray came on strong in the J ( 3rd and brought blood to Car- f ! men’s nose. Basilio rallied to take 1 the 4th with combinations to the body and head Then Ray came back and buckled Carmen’s knees v ■ in the sth with hooks and upper- c I cuts. In the 6th, Ray closed Car- £ men’s left eye with a right up- € percut. Then Basilio rallied and gave ; , Robinson .such a battering in the 1 next four sessions that it seemed : Sugar Ray would be knocked out. * Carmen’s left brow was cut in the 10th. ' From the 12th through the 15th 1 it was Sugar Ray who appeared s likely to stop Basilio in their ter- . rific exchanges. Carmen was stag- s gered in each of those sessions s and in the 15th only his fighting J heart kept him from going to the ‘ canvas. T Jt was Basilio’s 13th defeat in 1 72 bouts and it ended his regime as middleweight king at six months and .two days. It was Robinson's 141st victory in 150 starts. » Order Is Received On Fishing Season ; l An order extending the open sea- , son for the taking, catching, kill- ] ing, possessing of certain species t of fish now protected by law was received today by Richard Lew- 1 ; ton, clerk of Adams county. 1 Kenneth Marlin, director of the • Indiana department of conserva- < ' tion. made lawful the taking, cat- . chirf§ or any smallmouth : ’ base, largemoutn nass, spotted;; ”Kas<’ silver or white bass, north-,’ ; ern pike, walleye, and sauger of; j I any size from any waters of the |, I stage from the first day of May j 1958, to the 16th day of June. 1958: : ’ from the first day of May, 1959, to f the 16th day Os June, 1959; from the - first day of May, 1960. to the 16th. i day of June. 1960; both dates inclu- ! ■ sive.

Most Baseball Men Conceding Flag To Yanks ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (UP)— Almost everyone except a few managers and officials of rival clubs, are conceding the 1958 American League pennant to the New York Yankees. Managers Al Lopez of the Chicago White Sox and Jack Tighe of the Detroit Tigers are the leaders of ,the~ small faction which maintains that the Yankees can be beaten. On the other hand, Cookie Lavagetto, manager of the Washington Senators, predicts the Yankees will win by 15 games. It's hard to see any team coming close-to the Yankees unless they come up with serious injuries to such key players as Mickey Mantle and Bill Skowron. Even old Casey Stengel, shooting for his ninth pennant in the 10 years he has managed the Yankees, agrees his club “is loaded.’’ What Players to Keep “My big problem is to decide what players ahrong our fine crop of youngsters to keep,” Stengel explains. Because he has sb many established players and promising rookies, only four players, outside the pitching department, are sure to play every dayThey are center fielder Mantle, first baseman Skowron, catcher Yogi Berra and Gil McDougald, who will hold down one of three infield spots — second, third or short. Last year, McDougald blossomed into the best all-around shortstop in the league, but Stengel is giving sophomore Tony Ku-' bek a shot at that job. If he makes it, the chances are McDougald will play second Also in the infield picture are Andi* 1 Carey, a veteran and Jerry Lumpe, a second-year mAh, who are competing for third base; second sacker Bobby Richardson; rookie shortstop Fritz Brickell, and Marv Throneberry, who will understudy Skowron at first. If Kubek doesn’t make it in the infield, he probably will play left field. Otherwise it probably will be Norm Siebern, who would have started the 1956 season as a Yankee regular except for a spring training injury. Veteran Hank Bauer and rookie Deron Johnson are candidates for the right field post. Johnson hit .302 at Binghamton last season and has shown plenty of ipower. Lack of experience may keep him from making the club, however, i although he figures strongly in I Stengel’s plans for the . future. Harry SynP son > obtained from I Kansas . City, veteran Enos : Slaughter and Bob Del Greco, the i National League castoff, are other outfield candidates. Howard Will Catch Also, there is Elston Howard, who can play the outfield, but Stengel plans to catch him behind Berra more this coming season. Berra caught in 134 games last year, but Stengel believes his ace receiver “will do better, with a bit more rest." A rookie, John Blanchard, is pushing DarrellJohnson for the third-string catching job Stengel’s regular starters figure to be Whitey Ford (11-5), who appears to have recovered completely from his shoulder injury of last season; Don Larsen (10-4); Bob Turley (13-6); Tom Sturdivant (16-6) and Johnny Kucks 18-IO). For spot starting roles and relief chores there will be pint-sized Bobbv Shantz (11-5), who held up -the Yankees in the early going last season when Ford was hurt, and 41-year-pld Sal Maglie, who won two white losing none after he was sold to the Yankees late last season by the Dodgers. The No. 1 bullpen man will be Bob Grim (12-8' with Art Ditmar <B-3' behind him. ’ All in all, the Yankee picture seldom has been brighter.
