Bosi|io 8-to-5 Fovorite
Over Robinson Tonight

Continued From Page Ais
Sugar Rays reported but de-
MED weight battle, Ba-
silio's cocoon-like retreat from
the public in training-all these
have added up to considerable
tomfoolery for a fight of this
stature.
Taking them one at a time:
eOddS-They have remained
close to 8-5 for Basilio despite
the reports.
GainfOrd Charges Denied
"Chloroform - Gainford said
this or "some other kind of
stuff" was used by Basilio's
handlers in a cut lotion and

last time. The champions CO.

Coulon'S South Side gym, Car
men calmly left for the Loop
CYO quarters. But Robinson
remained at Joe Louis gym
and an estimated 500 fans who
turned up at Coulon's to watch
Sugar Ray were disappointed.
Robinson's weight battle-He
repeatedly went to a Loop bath
house ito sweat of weight or

back" He repeatedly has been
working in a heavy sweat suit
to boil down to the 160-pound
limit. Actually. Robinson looked
as 1.-the as ever in drills. never
showed signs of a sore back,
and flashed contrasting signs
of ruStiness and vicious artistry
In workouts.
Public Barred by Carmen
Basilio's retreat-From the
first time he arrived in Chicago,
his managers announced the
public would be barred from
workouts and only close friends 4
and the press would be per-

the rematch this way:
Robinson still has class and
punch, but has lost much of his
speed. But he can lick Basilio
three or four ways-outbox him,
knock him out with a left, knock
him out with a right. and mess
him up with a left jab. Basilio
has strength and heart. But he
can fight only one way. He can't
be a MYSTERY"

If Carmen Basilio beats Ray
Robinson tonight and keeps his
middleweight crown he'll rate
a special niche in boxing's hall
Of fame. Nobody's ever beaten
Robinson twice. and if the song
and dance mans legs hold out
Basilio may not be the first.
On our Scorecard Carmen didn't
win the first fight which was
awarded to him ION a split de-
ciSion.
If Basilio loses he'll take his
place on a long list of obscure
former champions like Ben
Jeby, Vince Dundee, Lou Brouil-
lard, Johnny Wilson and others.
The names don't spring to mind
instantly. as do the great ones
such as Harry Greb and Mickey
Walker. AS a fighter Robinson
belongs in this latter class.
Thus, if Basilio whips him
Carmen will long be remem-
bered as the man who finally
ended the career of one of the
most devastating ringmen of the
century. Robinson may fight
again, of course, but the sheen
will be gone.
You remember the fighters
who toppled idols and shattered
the great ones. such as Gene
Tunney for his two victories
over Jack Dempsey. and Rocky
Marciano for furnishing the
evidence that Joe Louis was
through. Go way back and if
Gentleman Jim Corbett had
been nothing more than a
thfrd-rate actor he'd still be
remembered for his victory in
the 21st round over the great
Jonn l.. Sullivan.
Il
BaSilio is game and agrees
sive. but only a Triple-A club
fighter in our book. If he wins
tonight it probably will be on
a decision again because Car
men. despite his great stamina,
courage and determination.
doesn't seem to have a finish
ing punch. He clubs his men
into submission. much like
Steve Mamakos, Washington's
great crowd-pleaser of two
decades ago. Put Basilio and
Steve in the ring on Monday
night, come back a week later,
and they'd still be there, giving
and taking.
The biggest headache in try
Ing to call the turn on a Robin
son fight is knowing whether
the Harlem Dandy is seriously
trying or merely working out
q new buck and wing routine.
You say Basilio took everything
Robinson fired in the last fight,
including a couple Of his SUM-
day best. 1t looked that way
on the TV screen. But it also
appeared that Carmen was in
trouble a couple of times and
Robinson didn't follow up, pos
sibly because he couldn't. It
wasn't one Of the former cham
pions better fights and we have
bunch he underestimate
Basilio and took the fight too
lightly.
There is no guarantee OF a
rematch this time II Robinson
loses. There was in the first
bout. 1t may sound foolish, but
1t almost looked as if the free
spending Robinson. hard up for
fresh cash, was out to make it
q series rather than a one
night stand, Robinson is just
cocky enough to think he
loaned" the title to Basilio
for six months and will get 1t
back with another big payday.
Each man is guaranteed 80

approximately 100000. The

Home Run

The World Series-bound
Yankees went without a hit or
run today against the 'knuckle
balls tossed by 35-year-old
Hoyt Wilhelm of the Orioles,
who won. 10, on a home run
by Catcher Gus Triandos.
Only two Yankees reached
base, both on walks. as they
swung futilely at Wilhelm's
dancing pitches in a drizzle
of rain. Eight Yankees went
down on strikes.
The homer in the seventh
inning by Triandos was his
30th of the season. He is tied
with Yogi Berra of the Yankees
for hitting the most in one
year by an American League
catcher.
Wilhelm's no-hit, no-run
performance was the second
in the major leagues this year.
Jim Burning of Detroit hurled
the other one on July 20 in
beating Boston, 80.
Larsen Also Brilliant
Don Larsen, who pitched a
perfect World Series game in
1856, started for the Yankees
and for six innings was almost
as invincible as Wilhelm.
A bunt single in the first in
ming by Bob Boyd was the only
Oriole hit off Larsen. Two
other Orioles reached base on
a walk and an error by Bill
Skowron.
Manager Casey Stengel de-
cided six innings was enough
for Larsen. 1t was the pitchers
first game since August l6,
when his elbow turned sore.

Bobby Shantz went to the
mound for the Yankees and

sent his fourth pitch sailing
over the 410-foot sign on the
centerfield fence.
That was all Wilhelm needed.
His no-hitter came after two
previous frustrating efforts by
him since coming to the Orioles
from Cleveland on August %
He lost two games when his
balks advanced runners into
position to score winning runs
The righthanded pitcher ar
rived from Cleveland with a
2-8 record but still started
against the Yankees this after
noon with a remarkably low
earned-run average Of 2.62.
Two Draw Walks
Bobby Richardson worked
him for the first walk in the
third inning only to be thrown
out trying to steal second.
Jerry Lumpe got to first the
same way in the next inning
and became the only Yankee
batter to see second when one
of Wilhelm's dancing knuck-
'lers got by Triandos.
Wilhelm got some defensive
help from Rightfielder Gene
Woodling and Second Baseman
Billy Gardner. Woodling, an
other ex-Yankee, made a rum
ming catch of Norm Siebern's
fly in the second inning and
Gardner went behind second
to snare Siebern's grounder
and throw him out in the
eighth. .-...
Wilhelm's strikeoats were
scored against the first six
batters in the Yankee lineup,
with Elston Howard and Hank
