PEI ALTA KAYOED ForemaT By The Associated Press OAKLAND ---- Undefeated young heavyweight contender George Foreman, erasing t h e nearest thing to a blot on his record, wore down Gregorio Peralta quickly and scored an # 10th-round knockout last night in his rematch with the 36- year-old Argentine lighter.

Earl Hart, the official fore- caster of probable odds at Pim- lico, rated Jim French, the Ken- tucky Derby runner-up, as the likely Preakness favorite at 5-2. Executioner, second in last Fri- day's Preakness prep, was listed at 7-2, followed by Eastern Fleet, who was fourth in the Derby, at 5-1. Canonero II, the surprise win- ner of the Derby by 3% lengths, was rated by Hart at 6-1, with Bold Reason, the third-place Derby finisher, at 8-1.

Foreman, who weighed 216 pounds for his rematch, landed at least a dozen hard left jabs to the Argentina's head in the first two rounds. He opened a cut over Peralta's left eye in the third. In the other two fights of the closed circuit TV triple-header Ernie Terrell defeated Luis Faustino Pires while former WBA champ George Jimmy Ellis woni a unanimous decision over George Chuvalo. Teriell, 6-6 former World Boxing Association heavyweight champion, used his long left jab to stave off aggressive Pires, Brazilian champion, for a unan- imous 10-round decision. Terrell, winning his fifth suc- cessive victory in a comeback after a three-year layoff, stun- ned the game Pires several times but was unable to put him away in a wild-swing contest wit- nessed by an estimated 600 at the International Amphitheater. Terrell rocked the ever-charg- ing Pires with two solid rights to the jaw which stunned the Brazilian near the end of the third round but the lanky Chi- cagoan was unable to follow through. Terrell again staggered his opponent with a left-right com- bination late in the ninth in which Pires started bleeding badly from a cut inside the mouth. In Toronto, against Chuvalo Ellis went to the attack quickly, scoring with left jabs and right hooks which opened a cut over Chuvalo's left eye in the second round. Referee Sanmy Luft- spring took a look at the cut but did not stop the fight. Ellis continued to work on the cut and by the fifth round Chu- valo sported four cuts around the eye. His speed was the de- termining factor in his 29th vic- tory out of 35 professional fights.
