Defeated Jones
Blasts Fu|Imer's
Back-PedaIing

CHICAGO, June 8 (P).-Gene
Fullmer. former middleweight
champion, back-pedaled his way
into the title picture last night
by winning an unanimous deci.
sion over Ralph (Tigerl Jones at
Chicago Stadium.
Fullmer. who only a month
ago lost his title to Sugar Ray
Robinson in the same ring, re-
treated through most of the 10
rounds of the nationally tele-
vised match and came on strong
in the final rounds to win.
Jones. who weighed l57, was
disguised with Fullmer's strategy
and said in his dressing room:
II told him to start fighting
that he was supposed to have
been a champion and he ought
to fight like he was"
However. Fullmer's manager.
Marv Jensen. said his mans
strategy called for the former
champion to retreat until Jones
came out Of his crouch.
I'VE studied movies Of Jones
tight with Robinson Jones out
pointed Sugar Ray at the
stadium in January. 1850 and
we noticed Jones covered up
well until he had his man COR
nered," Jensen said. Then he
stood up and was a pretty good
target. That's what he did to-
night"
Jensen said Fullmer, l61,
would seek a third match with
Robinson but added that plans
for a Robinson Carmen Basilio
match this September erased the
West Jordan, Utah, battler's
chances this year.
Jones moved in for a knockout
from the opening bell but the
Yonkers. N. Y. battler found
himself on the short end when
the two traded blows.
BY the middle Of the fight,
Jones quit pressing and was
booed by the crowd OF 2,679.
Referee joey White voted for
Fullmer, 1916. Judge Howard
Walsh scored it 48-43 and Judge
Frank Clark had it 1914. The
Associated Press saw it 1915
for Fullmer. The bout was
scored on Illinois 5-point must
system.

that a bill easing fingerprint-

The bill would require for

more than one year TO be fin-

of requiring fingerprinting
within so days after a foreigner
