Robinson Crown Fight
Doubtful for Fusari,
Winner Over Larkin
BY the Assoeiotsd Prsss

JERSEY CITY, N. j., Oct. a.
II Q couple Of imponderables work
out, Ray Robinson may lay his well
terweight title on the line against
Charley Fusari, the reformed Irving
ton, N. j., milkman.
The imponderables are, IN order of
importance:
l. Can Ray make the 147-pound
welter limit any more? There are
many who say he can't now and
never will again.
2. Does Fusari want to fight Rob-
inson? After Charley stopped Tippy
Larkin, the veteran GARFIELD, N. j.,
welter in the armory last night
In the Tournament of Champions
first indoor promotion, Fusari said
he was eager to meet Robinson.
However, Vic Marsillo, Fusaris
manager, hemmed and hawed over
the proposition.
Sure, veu fight Robinson, Vic
said, ''but the terms would have to
be right, something to keep both
me and my boy here happy"
Robinson promised the winner Of
the scrap title shot, but until the
Fusari camp decides on its strategy,
Ray doesn't have to do much worry
ing.
Larkin Wobbly In Sixth.
Larkin, who was knocked out by
Fusari once before, managed to stay
on his feet this time, but when
Referee Paul Cavalier stopped the
proceedings in 2:35 Of the sixth of
the scheduled 10-rounder he was
wobbling all over the ring.
After the first round, in fact. &c
was obvious to the crowd of 1857
that 1t was just a matter Of time
until the hard-punching Fusari
would halt his older opponent.
In the nth, the 23-year-old Fusari
hammered away at Larkins glass
jaw, but Tippy. 81 years old and
lighting II years, weathered the
round by slinching and falling
against the ropes.
Finally, In the sixth, Fusari clipped
Larkin with o left hook, and the
latters legs began to bend like
rubber. At that point Cavalier
stepped in.
Il simply was not in shape" Lar
kin said afterward, 'I had too many
Interruptions during my training,
and was not at my peak either
physically or mentally"
Fight Doesn't Draw Well.
Larkin's poor showing and the
fact that he kept his left down and
crouched almost all the way drew
scattered boos from the crowd.
I'VE planned it that way" said
Angelo Pucci, his manager. I'VE
figured that we'd make Fusari shoot
at a moving, weaving target instead
Of q stand-up guy, then, if possible,
get him in the end. It just didn't
work out that way"
Fusari weighed lat. Larkin 143h.
The crowd paid gross Of $28,958
OF this Larkin drew a guarantee of
$4,000 and Fusari took 80 per cent
of the gate, with other promotional
expenses, 1t is doubtful If the T. of
G. wound up in the black. The pro-
moters received an additional $500
for television rights.

ence-will be the object of a wide
open race for 1949. :
Although Paul e. Brown, present
coach and general manager of the
loop champions, hasn't confirmed it
it's q cinch he'll leave the profes-
sional game and return to collegi-
ate football.
A source as close to Brown as his
own vest made that plain yesterday
when he said:
IF Paul is offered a worthwhile
intercollegiate coaching Job, he will
make a move after this season. And
that worthwhile offer need not be
in terms Of money. He'll take the
first job that's worthy of his tai
ents."
just who might take over the
reins Of the Browns, with whom
Precision Paul" has won two
straight championships and has
rolled up seven straight victories
this season, is as much q question as
to where Brown will next direct q
team.
The continual pickering between
the All-America Conference and
the draft and a postseason series
were given as the big reasons Brown
wants to get out Of thesplay-for-pay
game.
Brown has a five-year contract
with two years to go, calling for al
least $4,000 annually, plus a share
of the gate, but the spokesman
said:
Paul never reckoned on getting
into a football war and has nc
stomach for such things. He's not

Learning to talk is q complicated
task, and children often have a
severe struggle In mastering the
process. Many of them stammer q
bit when they begin putting their
thoughts into sentences. They man
age one word fairly well. but getting
a group Of words in ordered sequence
to express their ideas proves more
dimcult.
Why q child stammers depends
upon The nature Of the child. his
audience, the state Of development
present in his speech mechanism.
the situation itself, and the time he
is allowed for his message. Time
and the attitude Of the audience is
Of the utmost importance.
When q child fears losing the
attention Of his audience, he hurries
to tell his story and hurry is q
cause of stammering in little ones
beginning to talk. Give the child
complete attention. Let him know
by your attitude that you are lis
tening to him and will hear him to
the end. He must feel at leisure
with his audience.
Don't stare at child when he
is trying to say something. The
full pressure OF an adults PERSONAL

lily at him. He will lose control and
stammer If that is done.
