A's To Get A Day Off After Four-Hour Drill West Palm Beach, Feb. 25 Larseh, Haywood Sullivan and Rookie Dick Howser hit home runs Saturday as the Kansas City- Athletics played an informal intrasquad game. Pitchers and catchers were sprinkled throughout the lineups. The workout, which lasted nearly 4 hours, was the longest thus far.

Afterward, Manager Joe Gordon told his squad they can have Sunday off. Fullmer Rules A 2-1 Choice Over Robinson Las Vegas, Feb. The odds are 2-to-l or thereabouts that one of this week's biggest losers in a town full of same will be Ray Robinson. For, if the moneychangers reckon correctly when they say Gene Fullmer will retain his NBA middleweight title Saturday night, this might easily be the last championship fight in Robinson's long and distinguished career. The 40-year-old challenger will try to win the middleweight title for the.sixth time when he meets the 29-year-old champion before a national television audience (ABC) and about 8,000 paying customers at Convention Center.

The hour is 7 p.m., Pacific Standard Time. Robinson's great skills have diminished substantially since the days when he was called the best in his profession, pound for pound. But the odds do not seem to give him much credit for fighting Fullmer to a draw only last December in Los Angeles. On the other hand, that fight must have been a more punishing exercise for Robinson, whose ag- Trfg body took a savage flogging all night, than for the much younger Fullmer, who easily survived Robinson's brilliant but infrequent flurries. The champion, whose atrocious style is offset by his ferocious strength and durability, will be permitted this time to indulge his bullish manners all the way.

Ordinarily, Manager Marv shouts instructions by the numbers from the corner. Saturday night he'll keep "Last time," Gene said, "I felt I should be fighting a little harder. But Marv wanted me to be more cautious. This time I felt I would like to go as hard as I "I thought Gene was comfortably ahead.last time," Jenson said. "The way it came out made me feel I should give him a chance to go on his own once.

If he had lost because I held him back, I could never have forgiven myself." Patterson And Ingo Spar Oyer A Referee Miami, Beach, Feb. champion Floyd Patterson threw a few light verbal jabs Saturday at Ingemar Johansson, his opponent in the champidn- ship rematch here March 13. To the slugging Swede's demands a foreign-born referee for the fight, Patterson retorted: "This fight is being fought in the United States. I am a United ates citizen and I demand a United States referee." Patterson, training here, said if the fight were staged in a foreign country, he would agree to a foreign referee. Johansson, -training 1 at- Palm Beach, 80 miles distant, also called for six-ounce rather than the eight-ounce gloves used here.

Six-ounce gloves were used In the previous fight. Ingo can choose whatever weight gloves he wants, Patterson said.

Groat Doubts Repeat As Batting Champion Fort Myers, Feb. Shortstop Dick Groat of the Pittsburgh Pirates said Saturday he doesn't figure he'll repeat as the National League's batting champ this year. "There' are two reasons," explained Groat, who copped the title last season with a .325 average.

"For one thing, I don't have the power of fellows like Hank Aaron and Willie Mays and second I don't have the speed of either of them," he said. "Now if I could run like Richie Ashburn, I would say that TRAP SHOOT AT SCHOENCHEN Sunday, Feb. 26, 1961 Starting (weithfr permitting) VALUABLE PRISES! Heated Building Site by Schwnchei, of I could repeat as batting king." Groat said his lack of speed prevents him from getting enough infield hits to win the batting crown consistently. K. Of C.
