Robinson Retains Title With Decision

by no SMITH

JERSEY CITY. N.J.. Ant. 0 - (AP) - Sugar Ray Robinson re- tained his world welterweight cham- pionship tonight with a clean-out 15-round decision over Charley Fusari before a capacity crowd of more than 80.000 in Roosevelt stadium.

Robinson weighed 147 pounds. the exact limit for his class. and Fusari came in at 145V4. The cham- pion gave all of his purse except one dollar to the Damon Runyon Fund. , ,

The Associated Press score-card showed 14 rounds for Robinson. with the 12th round even.

Robinson drew blood freely from Fusari's head in the opening rounds but the challenger came back strongly. '

Referee Paul Cavalier carded 14 rounds for Robinson and one for Fusari. the fourth.

Fusarl. the 6-to-1 underdog, es- caped the x ockout that was pre- dicted but that's about all he did.

Sugar Ray nullified Pu.sari's only weapon by fainting him out of posi- tion time after time before he could throw his vaunted right hand punch. When he did get a chance to let it go. he usually ran into a half-dozen in return.

Long-range punches wobblod the Jersey milkman in the sixth, ninth and 14th. He slipped down, scurry- ing away from a right in the sixth. but bounced right back.

Shanrshooting Robinson, always chasing a. retreating foe. sliced op- en a cut over Fusari's left eye in the second. But excellent corner work by tralnor Ray Arcel closed it be- tween rounds. Later in the eighth he brought blood from Charlie's nose with a stinging straight right.

Fusari wobbled like puppet man in the sixth. That was the round when Sugar Ray walked from his corner and threw a numbing right hand lead high to Fusav.ri's head. '

The challenger did a rubber-leg act in the ninth when nailed by a Robinson left hook. The Sugar man made him shake his head with a searing right to the body.

Robinson appeared to tire in the 12th and lath but cut loose again in the 14th. With the end in sight, Rob- by no lcnger worried about running out of gas. When Fusari tried to maul him at close range. he cut loose with both hands to the body and drove the Jersey lad through the ropes. '

All during the battle. George Gainford. Robinson's manager, car- rlcd on a running conversation with ringside customers. At times he ev- en had his back to the ring. Rob- inson's fifth defence was one of his easiest. much softer than last year's gruelling Philadelphia struggle with Kid Gavilan.

GUARDIAN. CHARLOTTETOWN

AUGUST 10. 1950

Tonight will be the night when local hockey fans. not only of the City but all over the Province, will get their first opportunity to prove to those who have worked so hard in bringing Maritime Sen- ior Hockey League competition back to Charlottetown. just how much they really want to support the project and see that brand of hockey here once more.

a o a .

Hundreds of people have signed pledges in support of the move- ment, the deciding factor that gave local officials the go ahead sign to proceed with the develop- ment of a senior hockey club here and make final commitments to the officials of the M.S. 11.1.. for franchise and entry into what is known now as the "Big Five." Now they will be -asked to stand by these pledges tonight, when the Club Executive will open their seating plan for holding seals and tickets for the first five games. to be purchased in advance.

0 O O

This means that hockey fans will be asked to go to the Market Building either tonight. tomorrow night or Saturday night. where the plan will be available, and make their selection of a seat or seats and pay at least one quarter of the amount pledged. The re- mainder is to be paid in the same manner at two-week intervals con- cluding on September 30th. This does not mean, however. that if you have not signed a previous pledge, that you will be left out of the picture. Only the first two nights will be limited to pledge- holders. Saturday will be open to everybody desiring tickets for the first five games or holding seats.

0 I 0

So if you want to help those who are trying to help you in having a first rate team in a first rate league this season. indicate your interest and support with a maximum turnout during the next three nights, to pay for what you pledged to support, and at the same time purchase something that promises big dividends in hockey entertainment this winter.

In his "Knotty Problems of Baseball" Billy Evans asks: "What plays in baseball are regarded as 'appeal plays”! He also as-ks: "Since it is the duty of the um- pire to give decisions on all plays. why should it be considered wise and necessary to regard certain plays as appeal plays. Here's the how and why.

0

”1lhere are four plays in base- ball that are known as appeal plays. That is. in order to have the umpire render a ruling. it is necessary for the team in the field to note the error. make the neces- sary play for the out and then ask the umpire for a decision. These four plays center around the fail- ure of a- runner to touch a base; failure of a runner to properly hold his base on it caught fly be- fore trylng to advaricc; failure of the proper batter to take his cor- rect place in the official lineup; failure to return to first base im- mediately after player overruns or overslides first base and is tagged.

0 O O

"invariably. the succesafulieams in baseball play heads-up base- ball. They are alert to every mis- take on the part of the opposition and seek to take advantage of such errors. The fundamental rules of baseball call for the touching of all bases to legally score a run; holding one's base until a fly ball is caught before trying to ad- vance; batting in.pr.oper order. 0

"Umpires in ball. games are merely the judges of the play. They are on the field to give de- cisions. not to make plays. When a player fails to touch a base. fails to hold a base on I caught fly ball before uivancing or bats improp- erly. it is up to the team in the field to -observe these technical slips. Umpires have enough" troub- lea as it is. if it were up to them to render rulings on the appeal plays listed above. they would be in constant hot water. Incidental- 1'y. they would he often accused of discrimination. .. . 0

"That is why these four import- ant playa in baseball are listed an appeal plays. making it necessary for the team in the field to be an the aloft if it wishes to capitalize on the alipa of the team at bat in ignorlru certain fundamental rules of the game. That is as it should be-on incentive to play beads-up baasball."

sary Hambletonian Stake. today in straight heats. The strapping brown son of

Volomite-Scotch Song took on a dozen of the best three-year-old trotters in this richest of all Hambletonlans. and blazed home to grab the winners share of 340.537. 'II;he time for both heats was 2:02

at. '

The gross purse totalled 575.209. which hoisted the money total part the 573.451 for "the inaugural at Syracuse. N. Y.. in 1926.

A crowd of 16.942 jammed into Bill Cane's famed Good Time Park and established Star's Pride and Florlcan as 7-to-5 favorites in the opening heat.

But Lusty Song and his driver. Del Miller of Meadow Lands. Pa.. never worried about the mutuel hoard. They went out and got the business done quickly. It was the third straight year the race had been won in two consecutive one- mile dashes.

Star's Pride. owned jointly by ,E. Roland Harriman. the railroad lman. and Lawrence B. Sheppard. ,ihe Hanover. Pa.. shoe manufac- iturer. was the colt who had beat-

Final standing in the meet was Wanderers 43. Antigonish 40 and Charlottetown 38.

Two marks that had stood for more than 20 years and one 42- year mark went by the boards. Johnny Martin. brilliant young middle-distance runner. shattered two records for the outstanding performance of the meet. The smooth striding. 17-year-old son of baseball umpire Frank Martin ran thei880 in 2.02 3-5 to crack the record set in 1929 by Vernon Evilvle of Wolfville, then followed that up with a 4:42 mile to beat by three seconds the old mark of 4:45 registered in 1927 by William Matthews of Sydney.

Paul Collins of Wolfville. a member of the British Empire Games team. won the invitation three-mile run in record time. beating Hans Holmer's 1908 mark of 15.30 by six seconds. Collins. not pushed by the other contest- ants in the event. sprinted near the finish to set his record.

Antigonish. strong in the field events, kept pace with Wanderers all afternoon and it finally came down to the final event on the program. Only a win would give the Halifax team the meet and they did it in one of the feature races of the day.
