Lightweight Chomp Given Ring Lesson WASHINGTON (UP) Young Ernie (Sonny Boy) Williams, the bundle of bobbing and weaving fury who threatened a major upset against lightweight champion Joe Brown until stopped by a cut eye, -today challenged Brown to a title fight. All three ring officials had Sonny Boy in the -TV fight at the New Capitol Arena Friday night when he 'lost on a technical knockout to' the'fifth round because of an eight-stitch cut, high on his upper left "I chased him all over the ring and he had to butt me to stop me," said 22-year-old Williams "Maybe the butt was accidenta but it did the trick. I'll watch out for his head if he'll meet, me in a title fight." Ernie's eyelid was nicked in a head collision in the third round and it began to trickle blood, in the fourth; and another head collision in the fifth caused it to bleed profusely. Brown's title was not at stake in their' scheduled 10-rounder because each weighed more than the 135-pound limit. Brown scaled pounds; Williams, 136V2, Sonny Boy, a 3-1 underdog ap pearing in his 24th fight and sec ond showed absolutely no respect for the more expert enced and highjy regarded cham pion.

Using a low he forced action in every round. He slid under the taller long arms and ham mered him at close Referee Ray Bowen stopped the bout at 1:17 of the fifth session upon advice of Dr. John A Kneipp, who feared that the bloody eye might be permanently injured if Williams were permit ted to continue.

New General Manager Frank Lane of the Cleveland Indians, 'resident Horace Stoneham of he San Francisco Giants, and toy Hamey, general manager of he Philadelphia Phillies, shaped up as-the key men in the deals were boiling on the front of aseball's hot stove.

Lane was dickering with both he New-York Yankees, and De- roit Tigers with 'Indians' fast bailer Ray Narleski as his chief bait. Stoneham reported he was very near announcement of a trade but was holding off until he found out if he could get better terms from third team. Phillies Want. First Baseman Hamey was reported anxious and'a first baseman and the Cincinnati Redlegs, with three on heir roster, were seen the most likely source. Gab about these and other possible swaps was making some oi baseball men present almost 'orget about the items on agenda for the separate meetings of the American and National Leagues this morning and their ioint meeting later in the day Player Deals Brew As Major Leagues Owners Open Meet On the actual agenda, proposals about territory and bonuses were expected to get the most at- jentlon.

Rale Unite lavaslw Regarding territory, a- special four-man committee of the majors has drawn up a new. rule for future franchises and. adoption is expected. It would of two major 4eague teams in one city to cities with a population of 2 million or more and in these cases would bar teams in a two-team city from having parks within five miles of each other. The upshot of this rule would be to leave the Brooklyn-Queens area of New York City open for another big-leamie team, a point in favor of the National League, while at the same time leaving the way open for American League to put a team in Los Angeles.

Unless the New York Yankees agreed, however, the rule would kill the Polo Grounds (less than, from Yankee Stadium) as" the "site of a future-NL team in New. York. The majors killed the bonus rule at their last conclave; now they-must'decide whether this action should be retroactive, that is whether "bonus" plavers now in the majors should lose that designation-and become eligible for demotion to the minors.

The reasoning is that Basilic will be-more confident this time lus the fact that each passing month takes so, much more out those 37-year-old Robinson egs. But Sugar Ray is only three xmnds over the 160-pound mid- leweight limit as he goes into training and his new-found sharp- ess is expected to sway the rice. Bill Talbert, America's Davis Davis Cup captain, is highly op- imistic over the chanees of regaining the big silver mug the ext time and believes that the United States could have won it his time if Dick SavHt, Budge "atty and Ham Richardson had een on the team. Breaks Costly "All four singles matches were ecided by one break in the fifth set," he asserted. "With steady ampaigners such as Savitt, Paty or Richardson the break! might have gone the other way.
