The Washington Caps need to
rebound from two shellackings If
they want to finish their regular

they play. the Fort Wayne Pistons
at Uline Arena tonight at $50
O'Clock.
The Caps were outclassed by the

night, $3.50, after having been
routed by the Rochester Royals
here Wednesday night.
But regardless of the outcome
of tonight's game. the Caps are in
the championship playoffs. The
Warriors by winning last night
earned at least a tie for fourth
place in the NBA's Eastern Divi-
sion. and will get undisputed pos
session of that spot if the Syracuse
Nationals win as expected over
Baltimore in Syracuse tomorrow
night.
After a comparatively dull sea-
son, Joe Fulks came through for
the Philadelphia Warriors when it
counted most II in the clutch.
Jumpin' Joe, who had been riding
the bench recently, rallied to his
oldtime form last night with
24-point scoring burst to lead
Philadelphia to victory over the
Caps.
The triumph gave the Warriors
a half-game edge over idle Balti-
more in the race for the fourth
and final-playoff position in the
Eastern division.
Baltimore. in its last game. now
must win at Rochester tomorrow
to tie Philadelphia. If the Bullets
defeat Rochester, there will be a
one-game playof for fourth place
at Philadelphia Monday night.
At any rate, the regular playoffs
will begin Wednesday at Syracuse,
with either Philadelphia or Balti-
more serving as the opposition.

Famechon Easy Prey,
Pep Has Only SaddIer
To Threaten Crown
By the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Mar. 18.-As long
as he doesn't have to fight Sandy
Saddler again, Willie Pep will
continue to reign over the feath-
erweights for long time to come
The little 27-year-old 126-
pound champion underscored that
last night when he waltzed to an
easy 15-round title bout victory
over Ray Famechon Of France,
the European featherweight king,
in Madison Square Garden.
1t was a neat, if not gaudy, con-
quest for the f1eet-footed boxing
master from Hartford, Conn.
even though many of the 12,106
cash customers let loose with a
torrent of boos at the final bell.
The jeers were for Willy the
Wisp's clutching tactics as we'll as
for the impotency Of the foreign
challenger's attack. Famechon
showed a good left hand, but he
can't hit hard and it's been proved
in the past that only real better
will bother Pep.
Ready to Fight Saddler.
Don't get the idea, though, that
Pep is ducking Saddler.
I'VE accepted an offer of q
$4,000 guarantee plus the privi-
lege of 40 per cent of the gate te
fight Saddler again last June.
said Lou Viscusi, Pops canny
manager. "Saddler was offered
$25. 900. but Charley Johnston
(Saddler's manager) wanted
$4,000. That match didn't come
off. Well. that's not our fault
We're ready anytime that 1oC
grand gets posted"
All Willie says is that I'm ready
for him. But Lou does the busi-
ness"
Saddler is the stiff hitting New
York youngster who knocked out
Pep in four rounds in october
1948, to win the title. Willie re-
gained it by outpointing the
skinny Negro in a torrid 15-
rounder at the Garden February
III, 1949.
AS for last night, a glance al
the officials scorecards will give
an idea of the rout.
Pep an Easy Victor.
Referee Ruby Goldstein voted II
1913 with two even, Judge Charley
Shortell had it 1873 and Judge
Jack O'Sullivan made it 9-3-3
The Associated Press had Pep the
winner, 11-3. with one even. Pep
was a to 18 favorite.
The brainy, fast moving champ
outgeneralled the 25-year-old in
vader, who was making his United
States debut. Famechon moved
in I'll the way and Willie popped
him with a stream of left jabs and
an occasional right. Then Per
would tie up the Frenchman OF
spin him around.
Pep received about $21 $50. That
represented 40 per cent Of the net
gate (the gross gate was $67,14D
plus $1,000 for television.

sees the future in lavender lights.
"Ive had this squad long enough" he
says, "to have a good line on it. 1t can win.
And, even against bad breaks, I don't believe
it can be far away. We have one OF the best

infield and a much improved pitching staff"

Meyer was more than irked
