Hart Decisions
Larry Baker; To
Seek Hie Title
CHICAGO f ANP) -- Al
though he was not endorsed by
the National Boxing Association, !
Garnett Sugar Hart of Philadel-1
pitia might well have wormed hisi
way into the small, select group i
of competitors.
Hart may have won a bid to 1
enter the campaign for Carmen
Basil io’s vacated welter-weight
crown by virtue of his convincing
10-round «n over rugged Larry
Baker of New York In the Stad
ium here last Wednesday night.
at least, several fans who
watched him outclass Baker in
the nationally televised bout,
think so.
They rcall that the same Bak
er gave the highly-touted Vince
Martinez a, close call in their 10-
rounder n the same stadium last
September.
Wednesday night,, however,
Hart was & vastly different
fighter titan Martinez. Scor
ing with quick, accurate
« « «
punches, the Philadelphia
speedster completely out
fought Baker, who tried vain
ly to bufiy ins man on the in
side,
* * *
He took charge of the bout in
the fourth round, and thereaf
ter frustrated every Baker rally.
In fact, he came close to stopping
Larry on several occasion. Baker
however, stayed close and thus
escaped the full force of Hart's
Jarring punches.
The decision favoring Hart, a
boxer-puncher who fights a great
deal like his namesake. Sugar Ray
Robinson, was unanimous. Refer
ee Frank Sikora scored it 49-41.
Judge Harold Walsh, 49-40. and
Judge Harold Marovitz, 49-42, all
for Garnett.
There were no dsenting boos
from the slim crowd of 1,204. who
cheered Balter s courage, but ap
plauded the verdict favoring his
opponent.
The slim crowd did not mean
j that Hart and Baker would go
I wanting fox* spending money.
