Robinson Donates Purse
In Final welter Defense

JERSEY CITY-(/P)-Ray Rob-
t 1naon risks his welterweight title
for the last time tonight (9 p.m.
EST) in Roosevelt stadium against
Charlie Fusari in a Damon Run-
yon Canfer Fund show.
I "Win, lose or draw, this is
my last welterweight defense,"
said Sugar Ray at his Pomp-
tA Lakes, N. J., camp yester-
day.
But Robinson didn't say "po-
sitively." Later he added that he
wants to be sure of a title bout
wits middleweight champion Jake
LaMotta before he gives up the
welter title.
! was obvious that the struggle
to make the 147-pound limit is
? taing too much out of him.
No longer a natural welter, Rob-
Limited TV
For Big Ten
grid Tilts Set
CHICAGO -(P)-The Western
Conference approved yesterday an
experimental program to televise
some Big Ten football games in
2 1950.,
Kenneth L. Wilson, commission-
er of athletics for the Conference,
announced some games will be
available to simultaneous large
screen theater-television. Post-
game films of games will be shown
by regular television broadcast.
This combination program
will be conducted on' a one-
year basis.
Wilson said the new plan is
aimed at controlling the size of
; the, audience and the selection of
the location for showing. The-
aters can be chosen so as not to
endanger attendance at the game
itself, or that of a ~neighboring
institution's game.
'T'he program is experimental,
and, as a result, its scope will be
very limited for the coming sea-
son, Wilson said.
Tests are planned for Chicago
and Detroit. In Chicag games at
Illinois and Northwestern will be
theater-televised in three theat-
ers.
" lIn Detroit, Michigan games
il be shown in one, theater.
he four theaters average slight-
ly less than 4,000 seats1each.
It is planned to carry games
each Saturday through the 1950
season.
Wilson said attempts are being
made to bring Minnesota and Ohio
Stae into the program.
"Indicative of the experiment-
fI aspects of this program is the
fat that we have not yet drawn
any financial agreement," Wil-
son said.
"The athletic directors of the
Big Ten have readily confessed
theV do not know the answers to
- many complex problems posed by
'hiye' television," Wilson said.

inson weighed 155 pounds for the
Robert Villemain fight July 12 at
Philadelphia.
What Sugar Ray has in mind
is a shot at Jake LaMotta's
middle weight crown. But that
,may be a distant proposition.
No promoter has been able to
get the two to agree on terms
and the International Boxing
Club has Jake under exclusive
contract.
In the meantime, Robinson
fights a doubleheader t o d a y
against (1) the scales and (2) Fu-
sari, a blond 25-year-old puncher
from Irvington, N. J., and he's
doing it for less than taxi fare.
The lean Harlem slasher will
fight for the sum of one dol-
lar. Ray donates his 30 per cent
purse to the fund which may
realize about $50,000 if 30,000
fans pay $150,000 as expected.
The battle of the scales, sche-
duled for 10 a.m. at Roosevelt Sta-
dium promises to be tougher than
the 15-rounder with Fusari. How-
ever Ray will make the weight
with a little to spare. It remains
to see how much it has sapped
his strength.
Supporter of Fusari, a 5 to 1
underdog, count on a sub-par
Robinson to tire against an in-
spired challenger.
There will be no television of
the battle, firt major New Jersey
bout since the late Marcel Cerdan
knocked out Tony Zale for the
middleweight championship.
A FLOP?
Shirley May
Sobs, Other
Lass Swims
DOVER, Eng. -(P)- Pretty
Florence Chadwick, a "desert
mermaid" from San Diego, Calif.,
swam the English Channel today
an hour faster than any other
woman in history.
Shirley May France, a more
publicized entry from Somerset,
Mass., failed for the second time
in two years to complete the pun-
ishing grind - 19 miles as the
crow flies; 22 or more as the
swimmer breasts the tide.
Florence splashed through the
seaweed under Dover's chalk
cliffs just 13 hours and 20 mn-
-,tes after plunging into the
water at Cap Gris Nez, France.
A trim, lithe professional swim-
mer who decided to try the chan-
nel while working as a typist for
the Arabian-American Oil Com-
pany in hot, sandy Saudi Arabia,
she erased the women's record of
14 hours and 34 minutes set by
Gertrude Ederly of New York Aug.
6, 1926. She is 31.
Shirley May, a 17-year-old high
school girl, was pulled hysterical1
and weeping into her pilot boat,
still eight and a half miles from
her goal, almost at the moment
Florencerstepped ashore.
"Everyone's going to think
I'm a flop," Shirley May sobbed.
They started from the French
coast only 19 minutes apart. Flor-
ence plunged in at 2:37 a.m. (2:37
p.m. EST Monday) and Shirley
May at 2:56 a.m.f
It never developed into a race.t
Swimming like a machine, for
a while at the fantastic rate of 60
strokes a minute, Florence soon
left Shirley May far behind.

Locke Goes
After $2,500
vs. Mangrum
Tam Title at Stake
In 18-HolePlayoffs
CHICAGO-(P)-Exiled f r o m
American fairways for more than
a year under a PGA ban Bobby
Locke returned with a vengeance
yesterday to sweep into a 72-hole
tie with Lloyd Mangrum for the
Tam O'Shanter All-American golf
title.
They both closed their fourth
round with 67's for a six-under-
par tally of 282, forcing them into
an 18 hole playoff beginning at
2 p.m. (EST) today. A first prize
of $2,500 is at stake.
It was Locke's rusty blade
putter, which loooks like a
throwback from the caveman
days, which once again proved
the fatal weapon. The South
African, fresh from winning
the British Open and a batch
of other British events, birdied
four of the last five with putts
of 32, 12, 30, and 22 feet.
This closing drive, one of the
greatest in the 10 year history of
the colorful Tam O'Shanter gold
rush, gave him a five-under 31
on the back nine to couple with
his standard front side of 36.
Locke was banned by the PGA
last June when he failed to ful-
fill a contract to appear at the
Toledo Inverness Invitational. He
previously had shunned several
exhibition dates.
The boom was lifted on him
this April by the PGA and "old
Muffin Face" - now sporting
a cookie duster under his nose
- made the Tam meet his first
on his return to the U. S.
The heavy jowled pro from Jo-
hannesburg and his trusty putter
carved out many an American
dollar on the tourney circuit be-
ginning in 1947 after he had
trounced Sam Snead in African
exhibitions.
Mangrum was an early start-
er today and blazed in with a
31 - with birdie putts from 9
to 15 feet - and 36 for his 67.
Then, as rain threatened, but
eventually held off, lean Lloyd
sat back with his 282 tally and
watched the boys try to beat it.

Wehrle Pro?
No Differ'ence,
StranahianiIn
CHICAGO -()-- Defending
champion Frank Stranahan, al-
ready ahead by five strokes, won
by technical disqualification yes-
terday over troubled Wilford Weh-
rle on the 18th green of their
playoff for the All-American Am-
ateur Golf Title.
No card was turned in for
Wehrle, who picked up on the
last green when Stranahan sank
a 15-footer. Arch Matson, tour-
ney rules chairman, said the
pick-up automatically disquali-
fied Wehrle.
Wehrle had started the playoff
after a charge today by the U.S.-
G.A. in New York that he has lack-
ed amateur status for the past
two years.
Stranahan, much-traveled si-
mon-pure from Toledo, Ohio, un-
reeled a four-underpar, 68, com-
pared with a theoretical 73 for

Wehrle. The two had tied in- the
regulation 72-hole distance over
Tam O'Shanter's par 36-36-72
course at 291 strokes Monday.
The U.S.G.A. statement today
told Tam Promoter George S. May
that Wehrle is not an amateur.
But Wehrle teed off in the play-
off with the comment that he in-
tends soon to apply for reinstate-
ment as an amateur.

Phils to a 6-5 victory over the
Brooklyn Dodgers.
The win increased the Phils'
first place lead to five games over
the Boston Braves who were beat-
en by the New York Giants, 2-1.
Roberts needed help in the ninth
from Jim Konstanty.
The Brooks almost pulled the
game out of the fire in the ninth,
but Konstanty retired two pinch
hitters on groundouts with the
tying run in scoring position.

last 18 last night when his forces
topped the Boston Braves, 2-1, at
the expense of Lefty Warren
Spahn.
Sheldon Jones turned back the
Tribesmen with four hits, includ-
ing Bob Elliott's 18th homer of
the season.
Westrum decided the brilliant
Jones-Spahn mound duel by clear-
ing the center field fence with
Monte Irvin aboard in the sixth
inning.
Spahn struck out eight and gave
up four bases on balls as Jones
fanned four and walked two.

PITTSBURGH-Despite Ralph
Kiner's 30th home run of the year
and another by Clyde McCullough,
the Pittsburgh Pirates lost their
10th game in a row last night to
the St. Louis Cardinals, 6-4.
The loss set a losing streak re-
cord for the league this season.
McCullough's homer gave the
Bucs their first score in 33 inn-
ings.
A crowd of 18,243 saw Stan Mu-
sial win the game in the second
inning with a circuit clout that
sent Red Schoendienst across home
plate ahead of him. It was Musi-
al's 16th of the season.
Kiner's No. 30 sock put him five
days and six games ahead of his
1949 pace, when he ended the
season with 54 home runs to his
credit.
