Art Pers|ey Favored
In TV Fight Tonight
By the Assoeiesed Press

NEW YORK, July S.-Art
Persley is a 2-to-1 favorite to
make Orlando Zulueta of Cuba
his 18th straight victim at Mad
ison Square Garden tonight.
The odds belle the ratings.
The 25-year-old Cuban is ranked
fifth in the lightweight division.
Persley is 10th.
But Persley is coming and Zu-
lueta may be going. The 29-
year-old Red Cross, La, Negro
has been waiting a long time for
his chance to move and he's
finally getting it.
This is Arts first main event
in the Garden and the bout will
be telecast coast to coast by CHS.
(The fight will be seen in
Washington on WTOP -TV,
starting at 10 p.m.)
In his last showing, a TO-
rounder with Percy Bassett on
May 18. Persley easily outclassed
the interim featherweight cham
pion. That victory propelled
him into the ranking for the first
time
His record in the book is 39-
2-2. He hasn't been beaten
since Luther Rawlings flattened
him in three rounds June 8, 1851.
Zulueta's record is 43-18-9. In
four fights this year he stopped
Rawlings in five rounds, split
two decisions with Wallace
(Bud) Smith and drew with joey
Brown. The slender Cuban has
a fast left, a good right and
takes a good punch.
