offer today to lightweight champ

As Carter just finished his third

way, Eddie Chavez looks like his
next challenger in San Francisco.
Smith beat back the No. 2 chal-
lenger, Cuban Orlando Zulueta
last night at Madison Square Gar
den to win a unanimous decision
in 10 dullish rounds. Only in the
seventh and eight, when Smith
shook up Zulueta, did the fight
arouse the small crowd of 1881
that paid S17,70S.
Referee Ruby Goldstein scored
it 7-2-1, Judge Art Susskind 7-3
and Judge Bert Grant SAL, all
for Smith. The Alp card had il
63-1 for Smith.
Vic Marsillo. manager Of Smith.
said in the dressing room he had
a wire from George Barton. past
president of the National Boxing
Assn, to the effect that Smith
would be recognized as the leading
contender if he beat Zulueta. Vic
said Bob. Christenberry, New York
State Athletic Commission chair,
man, was agreeable to the idea.
Smith, dull in the early rounds,
kept coming to the Cuban, who
was able TO fence him off with
a clever left hand and clutched
when he got inside. In the seventh
and eighth Smith caught up with
Zulueta with his steady attack,
There were no knockdowns al.
though Zulueta was on the floor
three times from a push, trip and
