JERSEY CITY, NJ, Aug. 1OER
Jake LaMotta is the next target
for Sugar Ray Robinson, now that
his fifth welter title defense is
safely out of the way. But it won't
be easy to arrange.
Robinson never was safer than IN
the Roosevelt Stadium ring last
night against cycling Charlie Fusari.
The only time he risked his crown
was on the scales at noon.
The lean Harlem slasher had to
go back three times before he made
lat pounds after team baths and
rubdowns. He doesn't want to do
that again. From now on, he wants
20 mingle with the middleweights.
A 16O-pound championship bout
with LaMotta will be discussed to-
lay at the Madison Square Garden
offices of the International Boxing
Club in New York.

inson in his Roosevelt Stadium

; DOUBLES.
By the Associated Press)

American League pitchers are feel
ing the after effects of Larry Doby's
near-tragic skulling of some two
weeks ago.
Since Brooklyn's Joe Hatten
knocked Dolby unconscious with a
pitched ball in July "a exhibition
game at Ebbets Field, no pitcher has
been safe from Larry's bludgeoning
bat
In the IL games the Cleveland
Negro outfielder has played since
the accident, he has pounded out
nine home runs, driven in 20 runs
and batted .462. His nine homers
matched his entire output for his
first Sc games.
Dolby tried his utmost to give
Cleveland a sweep of its double
header with st. Louis last night.
He slammed two home runs and
three doubles to drive in five runss
The best the Tribe could do, how
ever, was to split the two games.
Cleveland won the opener, 4-3,
with Doby's two homers accounting
for all the runs. The Browns blew
a four-run lead but bounced back
to win the second game, 1913, on
Ken Woods eighth inning homer
with one on. Dolby belted three
doubles, drove in a run and scored
twice.
The Tigers downed the Chicago
White Sox, 5-3, to maintain their
three-game advantage over the
Yankees, who shaded the Boston
Red Sox, 81, behind Vic Raschi's
three-hit pitching.
Pills Keep Winning
The Philadelphia Phillies con-
tinued their dominance in the Ma
tional League, defeating the Brook
lyn Dodgers for the second straight
day, 5-4 The victory protected their
five-game bulge over the Boston

Giants, 80.
The ST. Louis Cardinals, who
moved into third place, were idled
by rain. They were slated to face
the Pirates under the lights in
