Chuck Davey Outclasses Rocky Graziano To Win 10-Round Decision.

By Charles Dunkley

CHICAGO. Sept. 1'? -(AP)- Undefeated Chuck Davey tonight hackpedaled to a unanimous and tremendously popular 10-round decision over Rocky Grazlano, for- mer world's middleweight champ- ion, in the Chicago stadium.

Davey, a topflight contender for the welterweight championship. although outweighed by possibly 10 to 12 pounds, outclassed the ferocious, wild swinging Graziano and won virtually every round.

Graziaiio, fighting with deter- mination bui swinging wildly. was merely a shell of his former self.

Davey, an elusive, cat-like southpaw from Detroit spearcd the always-ci'ou'ding - Graziano with jlolting rights and smashing lefts lo the head and body while always going away or circling his wild- swinging ioe.

in the third round Davey doubl- ed Gmzlano lip with two ripping left hooks to the body and slowed him perceptibly. Another punch to the body, or to the jaw, might have sent Graziano sprawling to the canvas floor of the ring. ,

Davey undefeated in '15 bouts as a professional although held to two draws, got the following mar- gin on the score cards: .

Judge E'dwal'd Klein voted 61-39 in favor of Davey. Judge liarold Marovitz cast his vote 58-42 for Davey. Referee Frank Sikora gavc it to Davey, 55-44.

NEW YORK, Sept. 1'l'--(AP)- Leo Durocher got a hot toasting from New York baseball writers today for his losing gamble in starting rookie r pitcher Jack llarshman in the important game with Chicago Cubs Tuesday.

The move was branded an "in- excusable boner" and "a shame- ful giveaway" by reporters cover- ing New York Giants. The tem- pesiuous Giant manager defend- ed his strategy stoutly, contend- lng: "I just gambled and lost, that's all."

The Giants lost 9-0 and fell four full games back of Brooklyn Dodgers in the National League race, with only 10 games to play.

"To the 7.637 fans who came out to cheer the Giants onward, this was a shameful giveaway." said Jim Mcculley of the New York Daily News. "And so it must have appeared to Leo's gal- lant players.

"When the Giants heard Dur- ocher was going to start Harsh- man there were plenty of raised eyebrows."

Ken Smith of the Daily Mirror reported the fans were "dumb- founded" when Durocher picked l-Iarsllman, a former first base- man just recalled from Minn- Nlpolls, over regulars Jim Hearn and Dave Koslo.

Durocher Gets Roasting- From (Baseball "Writers"

"The Giants, visibly let down by the inexcusable boner of their manager in gambling with a

youngster at this stage of the campaign, played a splrltless game."

Ed Sinclair of the New York Herald Tribune wrote that the Giant manager "apparently con- coded the 1952 race" when he chose the untried lefthander.

"The folly of the manager's choice was obvious from the very beginning," Sinclair wrote.

Joe King of the World-'l'ele- gram and Sun had this to say:

"Certainly Horace Stoneham and all the other members of the Giant family have reason to won- der why Leo went with an un- tested pitcher. Jim I-learn I was ready to work and so were Dave Koslo and several others.

"it could be that the final on- swer will be that Durocher. not Charley Dressen, was the fellow who tried to be Mr. Big as for as' winning the championship is concerned."

James Dawson of the Times said the selection of Harshman was as "speculative as it was prising" and added:

"A fan in the upper deck back of third yelled so that fill could hear: tAre you giving up, Leo?"

DELAWARE, 0., Sept. 1'1-(AP) -If one of the three favorites wins tomorrow's s60,463.35 "Little Brown Jug" he'll have to do it the hard way.
