Tiger First Nigerian
To Win Worlds
Boxino Grown

San Francisco (ANP) - Two
fisted, hard-fighting Dick Tiger
last week fulfilled an ambition and
made good a prediction by beating
Gene Fullmer Of Salt Lake City,
Utah, to a virtual pulp to become
the second Nigerian in boxing his
tory to win a world champion
ship.
Ripping in from the starting
gong, the Tiger, whose real name
is Dick Ihetu, bombarded F'ullmer
with ripping hooks to the body and
head - but mostly to the head -
throughout the bout to win the
World Boxing Assn. middleweight
title on a unanimous 15-round de-
cision before IL, 900 fans in Candle
stick Park.
The Tiger, in a pre-fight inter-
view had predicted that the fight
would go the limit but that he
would emerge victorious. Il think
I can beat him in Is rounds"
Tiger had said, adding, IF I can
stop him, will"
After the fight, the jubiliant
Tiger made another prediction. He
predicted he will whip F,ullmer
again in the scheduled return bout.
A clause in the fight contract calls
for the fighters to meet again
within 80 days. But after the but
cher job Dick did on Gene last
week, it is doubted that Fullmer
will be ready for the encore within
that time. The Utah mauler was
cut above both eyes and on top Of
the head and his face puffed like
a balloon.
Tiger had also said he wanted to
win the middleweight title to cele-
brate his country's independence.
And he did just that.
In winning the title, the Tiger
emulated the feat of another illus
trous countryman - Hogan Kid
Bassey Bassey was worlds feath-
erweight champion until 1859
when he was dethroned by Davey
Moore, an American, who is still
the champion.
Bassey is now director of boxing
for Nigeria. Bassey, dressed in his
native robes, assisted Tiger. Both
the Tiger and Bassey are from
Lagos, capital city of Nigeria.
After the decision was announc-
ed, group of Nigerians, wearing
flowing robes, swept into the ring,
hoisted the new champion to their
shoulders and carried him around.
The colorful Nigerians filled the
air with shouts of joy.
The 33-year-old Tiger was both
confident and joyful. II am the
champ now," he exclaimed. When
told him that they had fought in
special 16-foot ring imported from
Fullmer's hometown, he replied,
I'm a stranger here but If Full
mer wants to fight me in his kit
chen, I'll do It."
A slight pre-fight favorite,
Tiger came in at 159 pounds, to
Fullmer's 100. The victory was
Tigers 46, against IL losses and
draws. Fullmer suffered his
fourth defeat. He has won So bouts
and fought two draws.
Tiger received a flat $25, 900
guarantee from the live gate and
television receipts. Fullmer was
guaranteed 45 per cent Of the gate,
plus 663s per cent of the closed
television revenue.
The fight crossed $101, 900.

Pumpsie Green
Traded To NY.
MefS Team

Poston (ANP) - Jerry pump
sie) Green, first Negro player to
wear the uniform of the Boston
Red Sox, last week was traded to
the New York Nets Of the Ma
tional League in a two-for-one
traded that netted Boston infield-
er outfielder Felix Mantilla.
In order to obtain Mantilla, the
Red Sox sent pitcher Tracy Stall
lard along with Green to the Nets.
Green was a member of the old
Red Sox Minneapolis Millers team
also.
Mantilla was the big man in the
trade. The former Milwaukee
Braves utility infielder batted .275
for the last place Nets while hit
ting IL home runs and driving in
SO runs in 141 games last season.
By comparison, Green batted
only .231 but he was used mostly
as a pinch hitter, appearing in only
40 games. He is also capable Of
hitting the home run ball.
Stallard failed to make the
garde with Boston last season and
was shipped to Seattle in the Pac-
ific Coast League, where he COM
piled a mediocre record.
Green's usefulness to the Nets
will be mostly in fielding. He is a
sure-handed fielder who can play
both shortstop and second base.
Mantilla is a better than average
fielder. The Puerto Rican native
was drafted by the Nets last year,
after playing with Milwaukee from
1866 to 1861.

It looks like the very successful

best team in the American Foot
ball League and continues to
build.
Last week he grabbed the best
lineman in the country, Mime

say Hunt is raising the ante just
for spite. I feel the fringe benefits
in the Dallas city are just too at
tractive. These young fellows must
be able to provide for themselves
after their football days are over
and the Dallas ball club is willing
to help.

keep the ball players happy

This area hates to lose such a

he finds occasions to visit his

The walls keep tumbling down!
This Saturday for the first time
in the Shriners annual North
South football game two Negroes
will play with the southern stars.
They are Willie Richardson, full
back from Jackson (Niss.) State
and Bob Paremore, halfback from
Florida A. & M.
Negro players have played on
the Northern squad but this is the
first time the south squad has
been integrated. The move was
made on the suggestion of Coach
Andy Gustafson Of the University
of Miami. Andy played his college
football at the University Of Pitts
burgh.
Richardson was signed by
Buddy Young Of the Baltimore
Colts a few minutes after Willie
and teammates had upset Flor
ida A. & M. 22-6.
This ball game will have a lot
of local interest. The North squad
will be coached by Murray War
math and two of the halfbacks
will be Bill Munsey and Jim Cairns,
all three are familiar names. The
game will be televised nationally
over ABC, Channel 9 KMSP the
afternoon of December %.
Local football fans will get
another look at John Roland the
tremendous running back from
Corpus Christi, Texas, who as a
sophomore led the Tigers of Miss
ouri in almost all departments.
He led the powerful Big Eight
Conference in scoring with Is
touchdowns and tOlled up $50
yards rushing, an all time high
for a Tiger sophomore.
Johnny leads the Missouri gang

Georgia Tech this Saturday in the
