Fullmer's manager, Mary Jen- son, said he had talked by tele- phone with British promoter Jack Solomons and guaranteed Fullmer would leave here July 27 for Iba- dan,,Nigeria, and would fight Aug. 10. The fight originally was sched- uled for July 13, but was postpon- ed until July 27 when Fullmer injured his foot in a road workout. "We informed Solomons that Gene is unable to fight until Aug. 10, because of his injury," Jen- son said. Fullmer Really Chicken? In New York, meanwhile, Tiger's manager, Jersey Jones, expressed doubt that Fullmer really wants to fight Tiger in Nigeria. "You can hardly get Fullmer out of his backyard for a fight," said Jones. Jones made the statement at a press conference held here by middleweight contender, Joey Gi- ardello of Philadelphia. "I don't think we would be in this mess with Fullmer now if we had given Giardello a chance to box Tiger first," Jones said. To Fight Giardello? "If the fight is postponed once more, I'm in favor of a Giardello- Tiger bout as early as August," he added. . The 32-year-old Giardello, who split two previous decisions with Tiger in 1959, agreed with Jones. "I don't think Fullmer wants to go to Nigeria either," said Giardel- lo. "He doesn't like to go too far from home." Could Beat Tiger Giardello, who said he needs only a couple of weeks to get into top shape, said he would be will- ing to go to Nigeria immediately take place. He said he is positive he could beat Tiger and added that Fullmer is afraid to go to Africa "because he knows Tiger is a little too tough for him." ST. ANNE'S, England (A') - Phil Rodgers, a chunky former United States Marine, canned a tricky, curling 15-foot putt on the home green yesterday and took a one-stroke lead over Australian Peter Thomson after the first two rounds of the British Open Golf Championship. Rodgers, a 25-year-old 185- pounder from La Jolla, Calif., shot a two-under-par 68 yesterday, to go with his opening 67 for 135. Par for the 6,757-yard Royal Ly- tham and St. Anne's course is 34- 36-70. Thomson, four-time winner of the title, had 67-69 for 136, and Jack Nicklaus, the U.S. Masters champion, rallied for a 67 and 138. Nicklaus took only 28 putts in his second round. Ken Nagle of Australia, the 1960 champion, added a par 70 for 139. Bob Charles, the New Zealand left-hander who'plays the Ameri- can tour, had 68-72-140. Tom Haliburton of England shot a 73 for a 141 total. Palmer 12 Shots Back Arnold Palmer, the 33-year-old money machine who has won the Open the last two years, struggled home in 71 yesterday for a 147 to- tal-12 shots back of R9dgers and just barely under the cut-off point for the final 36 holes today. The field was trimmed to the best 45 scores and ties for the final two rounds today. It took 149 to qualify and 47 made the grade. Rodgers, Nicklaus and Palmer were the American survivors. Out of the shooting went Doug Sanders of Ojai, Calif., with 75- 75-150; Jack Isaacs, Langley Air Force Base, Va., with 76-75-151; Bo Marshall of Huntingdon Beach, Calif., with 79-77-156 and Her- man Barron, world senior cham- pion from White Plains, N.Y., with 75-83-158. Sanders knew he had been elim- inated when he shot his second straight 75 for a 150 total, de- spite a 35-foot putt for a birdie two on the first hole. "I'll be going home," he said. "I couldn't putt after the first hole. I played as well as I can from tee to green, but I couldn't putt." / Player Makes Cut-Off Gary Player, the South African holder of the U.S. PGA title, got in with 75-70-145. "I'm a front runner." Rodgers said as he strode off the last green. "I'm not one of those who like to be tucked in behind and then charge away. I've won all my tour- naments by being ahead." His putt on the home green was a nasty-looking one. He needed to pot it to take the lead. Body-English Does It "It was downhill to the left and then to the right," he said. As soon as the ball dropped in the hole he did a restrained cha-cha- cha. Rodgers started with a birdie and finished with a birdie. His Pennel Placed On U.S. Team NEW YORK OP) - John Pen- nel of Northeast Louisiana State, whose pole vault of 16'63%" stood briefly this year is a world record, was selected yesterday to replace the injured Brian Sternberg on the U.S. team that will compete against the Russians in Moscow July 20-21. Pennel is already competing in Europe and will join the team there. He also will compete in Po- land, Germany and England on the national squad. John Uelses, second to Stern- berg in the AAU national cham- pionship, is the other vaulter on the team. After Sternberg was in- jured severely in a freak accident, his spot on the team was offered to Ron Morris of Los Angeles, also currently in Europe. Morris was unable to make it. Sternberg vaulted 16'8" at the Compton Relays in June. putting was the feature of the round. He slotted one from nine feet at the 10th and another from 15 feet for birdies at the 10th and 11th. Then he wound up before a gallery of about 5,000 with his great putt on the home green. Palmer started the champion- ship at 2-1 favorite with Nicklaus second favorite at 5-1. Rodgers was a 10-1 shot. "Everything went wrong," Pal- mer said afterwards. "I couldn't putt. I guess I hit the hole seven or eight times without any of them going in." Lad Waits For Strap PHILADELPHIA (JP) - Nina Harmer, an Olympic swimming star and a gold medal winner in the Pan-American games, failed to qualify in a Philadelphia meet Wednesday night-which was em- barassing enough-but the reason she failed was even more so. Four times during the qualify- ing heat, Miss Harmer had to stop and replace a strap on her bathing suit, which kept slipping off her shoulder. The result was a 1:17.5 in the 100-meter backstroke, far off her 1:11.5 in the Pan-Am games. "It sure was embarrasing," said Miss Harmer. "I kept having to stop and fix its It kept hampering my stroke. I finally figured out that it would stay up only if I took a half stroke. That cost me time."
