LOS ANGELES (A') - Mexico's
Jose Becerra won the World Ban-
tamweight Championship last'
night with a sensational eighth-
round knockout over Champion
Alphonse Halimi of France.
The 23-year-old number one
contender from Guadalajara
floored the gallant champion for
a 'count of four early in the round
and then knocked him unconscious
for the full count midway in the
round.
The wildest sort of pandemonium
broke loose in Los Angeles' new
Memorial Sports Arena at the sud-
den end. of what had been one of
the fiercest fights seen here in
many a night. .
Becerra started the 24-year-old
champion's downfall with a series
of heavy punches to the head as
he backed Halimi onto the ropes
near the Frenchman's corner.
Halimi Hurt
Halimi, obviousy badly hurt, got
up. He was met immediately by a
left to the jaw that sent him reel-
ing and falling into the ropes.
Another left to the midsection
caught him before he went down.
Halimi tried gamely to arise, but
all he could do was roll over under
the ropes on his side the Becerra
corner, completely out.
Referee Tommy Hart tolled off
the ten count for the knockout that
came 2:02 of the round.
Bacerra weighed 117%, Halimi
117. The fight was scheduled for
15 rounds.
Fans Rejoice
Halimi remained motionless for
minutes while literally scores of
Becerra's countrymen climbed in-
to the ring to cheer and backslap
the new champion.
As quick as police guards were,
they could not hold back the jubi-
lant Mexicans, many of whom
flocked up from south of the bor-
der.
Many of these same boxing fans
had seen Halimi ruin another of
their heroes in a Los Angeles ring
Nov. 6, 1957. That was Raton Ma-
cias who was beaten back in his
bid for the Bantamweight Cham-
pionship.
This was Halimi's second -title
defense. He won the crown by de-
feating Mario D'Agata of Italy in
15 rounds in April, 1957.
For seven rounds last night the
battling little roosters kept a crowd
estimated at 14,000 or more-and
probably the national television
audience as well-in a constant,
uproar. It was the first sports pro-,
motion for Los Angeles' flashy new,
Sports Arena.
Down in Third
Becerra put Halimi down for a
no-count in the third from a com-
bination punch that caught the1
champion off balance. The referee
ruled it no knockdown.
The first round was typical of
the ones to follow. They sparred
for a few seconds and then
launched into a savage, toe-to-toe
slugfest.
In the second round, Halimi after
dancing, jabbing and feinting, un-
corked a solid smash to the jaw
that shook his young rival to his
toes.
But Becerra absorbed the punch
as he did, from then on, every-
thing Halimi threw at him,
Heavy Punching
In the heavy exchanges that
followed, it often appeared that
one or the other certainly would
go down. But until the eighth,
there was no official knockdown.
Becerra came up with a swollen
and bruised left eye in the seventh
and the champion reported for the
eighth with a slit in the corner of
his left eye. It was beginning to
bleed profusely when the end came.
The knockout was the 12th
straight for Becerra, and his 16th
straight victory.
Oddly enough, the last blemish
on Becerra's record and the only
knockout of his career came in a
preliminary bout with Dwight
Hawkins in the Halimi-Macias
card.

'o Defend
NEW YORK (P) - Sugar Ray
Robinson said yesterday he defi-
nitely wil defend his share of the
middleweight title in September
and possibly against Germany's
Gustav Scholz in Berlin.
"I've got a big offer from Ger-
many to_ fight Scholz," said. the
39-year-old *New Yorker, "and I
may fight him there. I've got lots
of offers to fight in Europe. Jack
Solomons (British promoter) wants
me to fight Terry Downes (British
champion) in London.
"I may go over there in the late
summer and fight every champion
in Europe but I still want to fight
Carmen Basilio and maybe I. will
yet."
Mad at NBA
Sugar Ray still is burned up at
the National Boxing Assn. for
withdrawing title recognition from
him. The NBA announced it will
recognize the winner of the Gene,
Fullmer-Carmen Basilio fight in
San Francisc Aug. 28 as Middle-
weight Champion.
"I'm still the champion in NewJ
York, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts,
York, .Pennsylvania, Massachu-
setts, Cuba and Europe," said Ro-
binson. "I was all set to defend the
title against Scholz but the New
York Commission refused to ap-
prove that bout because they said
Scholz wasn't a fit opponent.
"The guy was rated fourth at
the time, He had lost only one
fight and that was to Charlie Hu-
mez of France. Now Humez always
was rated as a top contender. Then
Scholz knocked out Humez in a
return bout for the European title.
"Now maybe these commissions3
will do a little changing of their
opinions about European fighters.I
They should after what that Inge-
mar Johansson did to Floyd Pat-t
terson."
Champ Likes Johansson
How did he think Patterson
would make out in a return bout
with the new Heavyweight Cham-
pion?t
"Unless Patterson learns somet
new tricks the same thing is going
to happen," replied Robinson.t
"Patterson's style was ideal for
Johansson."
CHICAGO (P) - Nancy Roth, a
20-year-old waitress, yesterday
became the Cinderella of the Wo-
men's Western Amateur Golf
Tournament.
The sturdy, curly-haired blonde,
whose dad is in the hardware
business in Elkhart, Ind., defeat-
ed Judy Eller of Old Hickory,
Tenn., the 1959 National Inter-
collegiate and Southern Amateur
Champion, 1 up.
The victory sent the smiling
Miss Roth, who waits' tables in
the winter in Hollywood, Fla., into
today's quarterfinals against Andy
Cohn of Waterloo, Ia., a 19-year-
old Northwestern University soph-
omore.
Youngsters in Finals
One of the youngest quarter-
final fields in the 59-year history
of the prestige-packed tourna-
rnent will open fire at 1:15 p.m.
today.
In addition to Miss, Roth and
Miss Cohn, the matches send

34-year-old, former Curtis Cup

Richmond; Anna Quast, 21, Ever-
ett, Wash., the 1958 USGA cham-
pion, against Jo Anne Gunderson,
20, Seattle, the, 1957 USGA win-
ner.
The Gunderson-Quast match
takes feature billing. They have
met four times previously, split-
ting decisions. Miss Quast won
the last time they met, 1 up in the
1958 USGA semifinals'.

'Beat Navy!'
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (A') -
The next Army-Navy f o o t b a ll
game is several months 'away, but
the Army hurled an early chal-
lenge at the Middies yesterday.
A group of 253 Midshipmen
from the U. S. Naval Academy
toured the missile test area. When
they reached the Army's Jupiter
launching tower, one of the Navy
men asked: "How do you fire this
missile?"
Their escort, Army Capt. H. C.
Paul, replied: "You just pull this
rope like a lanyard."
With a little urging, one of the
Middies tugged on the rope.
A banner unfurled down the
side of the. Jupiter tower, pro-
claiming: 'Beat Navy"

PITTSBURGH (MP)-A 60-year-'
old golf tournament comes to this
200-year-old city today with most
of the fairway stars shooting for a
par-shattering display.
.The tournament is the Western
Open Championship. Since 1899
it has built solid prestige as one
of the major events on the annual
golf schedule.
There's evidence of this - and
$25,000 in cash-in the fact that
32 of the top 35 money winners
of the tournament circuit will be
on hand. The entries also include
Gary Player, the Australian pro
who last week won the British
Open Championship.
This is only the second time the
Western Open-originally confined
REDLEG SWITCH:
Cincinnati Fires Smith,
Appoints Hutchinson Pilot
'I
CINCINNATI (P)-Mayo Smith
was fired last night as manager
of the floundering Cincinnati
Reds and Freddie Hutchinson,
manager of Seattle of the Pacific
Coast League was named to suc-
ceed him.
General Manager Gabe Paul,
who made the announcement,
said the change would be effective
immediately and that Hutchinson
would be here today in time to
take charge of the club for the
opener of a series against San
Francisco.
Paul issued this statement:
"Mayo Smith has been relieved
as manager of the Cincinnati
Club. He will be succeeded by Fred
Hutchinson.
"Mayo was my personal choice
as the Cincinnati Manager and I
deeply regret that things have
worked out as they have.
"A position in the Cincinnati
organization has been offered to
Mayo. He will decide in the next
day or two whether he will ac-
cept."
Rumors Widespread
Rumors that Smith would be
ousted have been widespread here
as the Reds stumbled deep into
seventh place in the National
League. They became even more
noticeable after the team lost a
three-game series at Pittsburgh
last weekend and when Smith
failed to stay in Pittsburgh to
attend Tuesday's All-Star Game.
He came back here.
Smith was not present when
Paul' made his terse announce-
ment. Paul made no other im-
mediate comment.
Hutchinson becomes the tenth
manager of the Reds since the
1947 season.
Of them all, Birdie Tebbetts,
who resigned late last season after
the club went to pieces, lasted the
longest, from all of 1954 through
most of 1958. He now is Vice-
President and General Manager
of the Milwaukee Braves.
Plagued Since 1940
Since the great days of 1939
and 1940, when the club won two
National League pennants and one
World Series, the team has been
plagued with poor pitchers and
much of the time with an incon-
sistent third baseman. Batting
power, through all but the middle
of Tebbett's rule, also was miss-
ing.
The old move-fire the mana-
ger-thus has been a part of the
naf++m. i fhp f-neinn-f -cr.f
to players from the Middle West-
has been played east of Ohio. The
Pittsburgh arrangements were
worked out by the city's bicenten-
nial sports committee which ar-
ranged the All-Star Baseball Game
here Tuesday among other high-
lights of the year-long observance.
The Pittsburgh Field Club, one
of the plushier courses in the area,
will be host to the tournament, ex-
pected to draw some 30,000 specta-
tors during the four days of 18-
hole competition. Like most Pitts-
burgh district courses, Field Club
is hilly, trapped and tough, but
not especially long. The 6,617-yard
layout will be par 70 for the
tournament because players will
use a front tee on the fifth hole
which becomes a 464-yard par four.
Field Club greens are lush and
slick, large enough to make good
targets and also to provide wide
variation in pin placement. A
timely rain Sunday made them
exceptionally good targets and a
lot of golfers here reckon the
winning score should be 275 or
better.

MOSCOW ()) - A giant Negro
basketball team was strolling
through the Kremjin yesterday
when a big Russian car whizzed
by, came to a grinding halt, and
out stepped Nikita Khrushchev.
"Ah, basketball," he shouted in
English and walked from his car
to shake hands with the entire
group of Harlem Globetrotters,
from towering Wilt (The Stilt)
Chamberlain on down.
Khrushchev chatted for five
minutes, the 7-foot Chamberlain
and others nearly as tall making
a startling contrast with the
chubby, pink premier. Soon a
crowd huddled around.
"Khrushchev came on us so
suddenly we couldn't really get
set," said Walter Kennedy, adding
that the premier was grinning
when he hopped out of his car.
"This is the American basket-
ball team?" Khrushchev asked.
Assured that it was he said: "Bas-
