Friday night, a week ago. which Fullmer won by an unanimous decision. He ac cused Fullmer, who back-peddled throughout the bout, of not, liv ing up to the reputation of a champion Asked what he was saying to Fullmer nt close quarters during the fight, the Yonkers, N. Y. bat-1 tier said he told him to fight and ■quit running. “I told him to start j fighting; that he was supposed to be a former champion and he ought to fight like one. But: he kept running,” said Jones to newsmen querying him He was not especially keen on a rematch with Fullmer. It was Jones’ second loss to i Fullmer in recent months.

THE CAROLINIAN | Larry Doby Decks One As Sox LeseTo Yanks: Whole Team Fights CHICAGO ( ANP> If offi cials of the International Boxing Ciub or the National Boxing As sociation had been either watch ing or attending last Thursday’s baseball game between the New York Yankees and the Chicago White Sox at Comiskey Park, they would probably sign Sox outfield er Larry Doby to a contract right away. The big outfield"!- uncorked a left hook, the likes of which have seldom been seen in these parts on the jaw of Yankee pitcher Art Ditmar, following a “duster” hall thrown by Dit raar that almost creased Do* by's skull, Diimar hit the ground like a cement bag. The benches of both teams unloaded In the best fight tel evision has had this year. The action came in the first In ning of the game, which the Sox lost by a 4 to 3 score. But. today, Doby can be referred to as “Su gar Ray Doby." It all started when Ditmar tos sed e. ball so close to Doby's head as be stood at the plate that Doby could have been senseless today if he hadn’t ducked. Words fol low'd the pitch and Larry told Ditmar to ‘‘watch where he was throwing ” Ditmar became heat ed and reportedly cursed Doby, Then he started toward him. Minor League Baseball Notes CHICAGO (ANP>- Luke Eas ter, the former Cleveland first baseman (how the Indians could use him now), hit 12 home runs and drove in 37 runs in the first 27 games with Buffalo of the In ternational League. Another for mer Indian going well for the Bi sons is Joe Cassie, the young in fielder, who has been hitting close to the .300 mark. Another Robinson who might make good in the ma jor* is Floyd Robinson, ball hawking centerfielder for the San Diego team in the Pacific Coast League. Young Robinson is a defensive genius. If his hitting improves, he might earn a shot with Cleveland next season. Rene Valdes, who was outstand ing with Brooklyn in spring train ing, lost his first start with Mon treal In the International League. He was beaten 3-to-o on four hits, but three of them were home runs. Solly Drake, the former Chi cago Cubs’ outfielder, is set ting a fast pace in stolen bases for the Portland Club in the Pacific Coast League. Chuck Daniels, considered a good pitching prospect by the Pittsburgh Pirates, won his first; six games with Hollywood in the j PCL, then dropped his next two : decisions. Back at Denver, where he got j his start in organized baseball, j Curt Rpberts, the former Pitts-! burgh second baseman, was bat,- j ting .300 for the American Asso c;ation team and had driven inj 22 runs. Prank Herra. of the Miami Mar- j lins, who jumped the team in Ha-! vana because of a tiff with a j teammate, is back with the club Humberto Robinson, the slender righthander who was sent to To ronto by the Milwaukee Braves, won 7 out of his first eight, de cisions in the International Lea gue. With Rochester in the same circuit, Dick Kiohetta won 3 of his first four decisions. Speaking of Ricketts, his brother, Dave, is considering a pro baseball career, A stand out catcher, the younger Ric ketts, like Dick, playerl basket ball and baseball at Duquesne. Dave said he isn’t shopping for bonus money. He sa.vs he’ll settle for the $4,000 limit “so I can go to the minors and learn the trade.” He's due to enter service in October.

The excitement centered on the almost constant tumult created by a total of 49,1.14 fans—the largest, attendance of the season- , who packed the park to the rafters, while on the field controversy raged over two plays involvin • i Minnie Minoso in one instance, and pitcher Bobby Shantz of the Yankees in another. But after it was all over, the , Yankees had embarrassed the Pale Hose before the home* j towners, winning a close con- I test, 3 to 2. The victory gave Shantz his second straight vic tory over the Sox this season and overall record of 7 arid 1. Veteran Jim Wilson, who had beaten the Yankees in Yankee Stadium on the Sox' last road trip was tagged with the loss. It was a contest, of the Yan kees’ punch against the White Sox’s speed and defensive play, i And both teams got good piteh • ing from their moundsmen. The Yankees opened the scoring ; < in their top half of the first in* ‘ ning when, with two out. slugger I Mickey Mantle planted one of ! Wilson’s slants into the upper right field stands. Then. before Wilson could realize what hit him, Yogi Berra singled into right, went to second on a wild pitch, and romped home on Hank Bau er's single. It wasn’t until the third inning l : that the Pale Hose were | able to score their first run.! Minoso driving In the tally on a 1 force play.

Catcher Elston Howard and Minnie streaked to third, beating | the th?-ow there. Then as Umpire j John Stevens and Andy Carey! argued at third, Minoso broke for! the plate, thinking it was un guarded. But shantz appeared In j the vicinity, received the throw from Carey, and tagged Minnie. Later Minnie complained that i Shantz had unnecessarily jolted, him in the ribs. But she fireworks were to follow shortly. Moments after Minoso was tagged out, White Sox manager At Lopez storm ed Stevens, protesting that time had been called before Minoso broke for the plate. He won his argument but then the Yankees’ Casey Sten gel appeared on the scene. Case? vented his wrath on the umpire, despite lusty booing but bowed to the umpires , warnings. who by that time had joined in j the brawl.
