ORLANDO, Fla, Mar. IS
Pete Runnels has clinched an
out field job with the Senators,
but the wiry former second
Ibaseman doesn't want it. Let's
face it," Pete said, pointing to-
ward second base. There's
where I belong"
Runnels has handled himself
lacceptably, even encouragingly,
lin the few times he has played
the outfield in spring games. but
he wants no part of it. He has
whipped out a couple of adven-
Iturous runners and generally has
conducted himself as a fellow
who could make the switch with
Ia minimum of difficulty.
II haven't had a tough
chance Pete said, dismissing
his acknowledgements to date.
I'm not convinced I can handle
the job.
II have a family to take care
of" he continued. There's a
scarcity of infielders in the ma
Ijors, and I figure to last longer
playing second base than ! will
playing the outfield. I feel more
comfortable at second and be-
lieve I'd do a better job there

Rematch Of Saxton-Basi|io
Likely Prospect for June
Fans Boo Verdict
As Johnny Takes
Title Second Time

CHICAGO. Mar. is (P.-
Sharp jabbing Johnny Saxton
again held the world welter-
weight title today. but a hue
and cry thundered for re-
match with dethroned and hop
Tping-mad Carmen Basilio. 1t
may come in June.
Saxton won unanimous Is
round decision over Basilio in a
nationally televised fight at the
Chicago Stadium last night
which left most of 1873 paid
patrons and a host of TV fans
Ihollering that Carmen was short
changed.
Basilio claimed the title was
stole" from him.
The international Boxing Club
said no rematch had been con-
itracted, but admitted that one
now was definitely possible"
Chicago again is the logical
site, despite Basilio's dislike.
Officials Have No Doubts
Seldom has a title match here
stirred SO much controversy, al
though there was no doubt in
the minds of the three officials
that the busy, ever-moving Sax
ton had won.
Basilio snarled that the deck
is stacked against him in Chi
icago after three defeats in as
many starts here.
Referee Frank Gilmer called it
for SaXton, 144-142, while Judge
Ed Hintz voted for Johnny, 145-
1873, and Judge McManus, lat
140.
That made it Saxton margin
of 16 points for the Is rounds
in the Illinois scoring system of
10 points to the winner of a
round and from 9 down to the
loser.
On the other hand, a ringside
poll showed a 1877 preference
for Basilio among the experts
covering the fight. Basilio's ma
Ijority came entirely from East
ern writer's, while Saxton's
backing was all MidWeStern.
