life that he broke so.

Only BOgey of Day
Deane came to the last hole
needing par for a 63, or a
birdie for a 81. But in the
gathering darkness he admitted
he lined up his approach shot
for the wrong side of the green,
and pushed it into a trap. He

BasiIio Retires
From Ring TO
Raise Apples

SYRACUSE, N. Y, April Is
(AP).-Carmen Basilio, his
battle-marked face showing the
effects of almost 13 years in
the ring, started new life as
a gentleman farmer today.
The craggy-jawed former
world welterweight and middle
weight champion announced
last night that he was finished
with boxing for good.
Right now" said the "a
year-old BaSilio, I'm going to
rest for about a week. think
things over and take care of
my apple trees"
He started out as an onion
farmer and barely eked out a
living before he turned to
fighting. Now he has about
8 acres of apple trees on his
suburban Chittenango farm.
1--WE done a lot of work on
it, but there's plenty more to
do he said. I'm moving
slowly and getting help from
experts. You might say 1 know
my onions, but I still don't
know my apples"
BaSilio took a bad beating
from Paul Pender last Satur-
day in Boston. Pender, defend
ing his New York -Massachu-
Setts-Europe version of the
world middleweight champion
ship. not only won a decisive
decision but had Basilio off his
feet for the first time in his
career.
While he wouldn't come right
out and say so, that undoubt-
edly helped Basilio-an ex-
Marine who always was willing
to take two punches to land
one-make up his mind.
I've had couple of good job
offers" Carmen said, but ]
don't want to talk about them
until I make UP my mind which
one I'll take. I'm in no hurry" !"
/ Basilio was born in nearby
Canastota, N. Y. He fought rs
times and IL Of his bouts were
for world championships. He
won his first title, the welter-
weight, when he knocked out
Tony DeMarco on June 10, 1855
He knocked out DeMarco in q
return. then lost the crown to
Johnny Saxton on a contro-
VerSial decision in Chicago.
| But he made up for that by
knocking out Saxton twice, on
September IL, 1856, and Febru-
ary q, 1857.
Then on September %, 1857
he moved into the middleweight
class and promptly dethroned
Sugar Ray Robinson. Sugar
Ray won back the title on a
decision in Chicago March 25
1858, then was stripped of the
championship by the National
Boxing Association for refus-
ing to defend.
Basilio and Gene Fullmer
were matched for the vacant
title-and that started Carmen's
downfall. Fullmer won on a
l4th round TKO, administering
a fearful beating to Basilio on
August %. 1859. He stopped
Basilio again in IL rounds on
June 29, 1860.

Security Law now makes it
more important that people

hold help report the earnings of
these workers If they are paid
$50 in case wages in calendar

Mrs. Nora S. Levsky, field

law reduces by about a third
the length of time a person
must work in order to receive
Social Security benefits when
they retire.

Mrs. Levsky pointed out that
reports are mandatory, not op-
tional. Employers who fail to
report may find themselves
liable for both shares of the tax,
