1 The Ottawa Journal TUESDAY, APRIL 19, 1960. Page 11 -f I Good Pay Days Ahead )WESTWICK QENE FULLMER puts hit NBA version of the world's middleweight championship on the lint tomorrow night, nd it may very well be thit the Weil Jordan, Utah, eiouter will be making up (or lot time from now on in the financial department If he does, there'i nobody deserves to capitalize more hvthle rugged buiinest than the sturdy Fullmer. 7 This came up one day during the Winter Olympic Games With big "Hack" Miller, the Utah, boxing writer, bringing up the Fullmer plant. Miller it one of Fullmer! clotett friends and admirers, and he wat saying then that Fullmer had campaign planned that would get tome of the Juit reward of really honest 'Campaigner, 7 POINTS FOR ROBINSON. Said "Hack" then Squaw Valley.

I left Fullmer, he had pretty fair looking campaign lined up. Gene hat thit first fight with Joey Giardello. He hat to get by that one and then he hat tone of thote other drawing cards coming to him for a-ctiange. If he take Giardello, hit next ttart will be return bout egainat Carmen Basilio. Then he will take on' Sugar Ray Robinson.

Thaft "his plan, and he'll be picking up quite a bit of change. He't In good shape and, at anybody knows, he wants to fight and not ait any chtmpionihlp." There wat time right after Robinson conked him with tizzling left hook in Chicago that Fullmer didn't know Mctly where he wat. Certainly he didn't know where he wat when the. punch landed, but even after hit head had cleared, he wat equally at set at to hit future. He had whipped Robinton before, and aaid he had an agreement for-nother bout But he wat lost in the thuffla.

HAD TO CHANGE MIND. Basilio moved in to take the big play with Robinton. ''Sugar Ray" had those two big purtet and, even before their Brit and certainly right after that Basilio Wanted no part of Fullmer. He frankly claimed there wat no percentage in fighting Fullmer while there waa a prospect of third match with Eventually Basilio had to change hit mind when the cagey "Sugar gave him the tame type of treatment he had giver. Jullmer.

He made the financial terms so lor Basilio that the latter just couldn't tee hit way clear to signing. Robinson made it plain by nit ttand that ht didn't want any more part of Basilio for a while, and the sturdy Carmen (hot so sturdy by this time), had to get back to the Pulluiei buui lie' tiad-scorned for' to long. For his pains, Basilio took a sound beating from Fullmer and the latter was set to enjoy a few of the better type of paydays if he can stay in winning orbit, Giardello has-had a checkered careen should have had title shot long ago since he'l how about 29. But the Brooklyn boy was an in-and-outer, got himself into extra curricular scrapes forwhlchjiejaid rather dearly. Meanwhile, the one promising chance he seemed to have earned wen out the window six years ago when Bobo Olson by -passed him.

4 I SHARPEST AGAINST BASTUa There never it worry about Fullmer not being In shape. Thafsj the one thing you csn.be euro about when he fights. He may make a bad fight, and at best he can be mauler and a roughie in He looked his smartest against Batilio, But you can be sure that he'll be in ther trying hard and In shape to take punishment as well as give It The only time Fullmer wat really crossed up wai that Bight in Chicago. And the hook that Robinson threw that evening might well "have crosied-up bigger and belter men. At a matter of iact the way thit one waa snapped, very few men oThls weight would have survived It Fullmer took the count for the first time.

He should be too rugged for Giardello tomorrow night, and there's enough money in the offing later to suggest hell he very earnest about holding hit title for a while. BOULEVARD Frank Shaughnesty it getting edgy over the repeated lories that Havana may be dropped by the International Baseball League "Shag" hat been bothered by these yarns, and not long ago league secretary Harry Simmons wss moved similar emphatic denials that U.S. team mightn't play there That Hull' Legion squid is maintaining its repute- tion at a scrappy hockey club After dropping two games in Hull "to Chatham they got beck In the running on the road They face the task of winning three in a row. to take the aeries but by last night's showing, they are in the right frame of mind to tackle the problem U.S. aportt writing rankt hive lost two of their top flgurea In the last few weeks with the death of Boston's Bill Cunningham following on the heels of John Lardner't passing Cunningham had once been a top football player-and made one Ail-American team in hia playing days at Dartmouth Jim Piggott would willingly move his Western Hockey League franchise to Lot Angeles, but is certain of strong opposition from Jack Pempsey (not the fighter) who is lined up with other interest! in LA nd looking for a franchise BILL WE5TW1CK.
