From what you hear they are all of that, but it is always well that they not get into that frame of poind. This is the type of schedule that even a leading team can't afford to drop one of these "upset" games It might prove tUsastrous for them later when the complexion can change along with the.jfbrm of. lesser regarded teams. In the past two years Riders have been quite fortunate any way ano dropped Charlie for nine. He just did beat the count Then Charlie (witched to the body, bothering Graziano with long-range hooks around the middle.

Rocky, knocked out by Tony Zale in bis last major start last Summer at Newark, NJ, found the range in the third when he pinned Fusari on the ropes and pumped 11 straight punches toward his head and body without a return. As usual, however, the Jersey kid was moving away with each punch, catching many with his mittens. First Knocked Out Never knocked out in 65 previous fights, Fusari piled up points in the middle rounds with his jolting job. Nullifying Grazlano's superior punching power with his almost-continuous retreat he seemed to l)ave turned the tide in the sixth, seventh and eighth. Binrilderi marvelled at Charlie's ability to take the Graziano special a right to the head and then come back with a right of his own to the body.

He did that with gusto in the eighth and ninth. There" was no argument about the relative punching power of the two' boys. Graziano threw the rocks and Fusari pegged the small sWnes, but Charlie's attack piled up important points. It was apparent that Graziano badly needed, work. Always wild, he was missing even more than usual.

Of course all of that was wiped out in the one eye-filling finisX that, re-established the ex-1 60-pound king. In the dressing room, Graziano said: "It was a left hook, upper-cut, that done it," "He stung me but he never dropped xrom the lineup i as a be went after him again, pinning Masters Stresses Pass Defence At Practice Pass, defence is still an important item on the Rojigh Rider practice Itinerary these days.

New York Yankees' still aren't "in" as American League pennant Leafs Have Control Over Lewicki Only In Pro Hoc-key REG IN Sept 1S.CB Al Pickard, president of the Canadian 'Amateur Hockey Association, said yesterday that General Manager Conn Smyths of the NHL Toronto Maple Leafs has control over Danny Lewicki only so far as professional hockey is concerned. Pickard was commenting on a St. Catharines, Ont, despatch quoting Lewicki, under contract to the -Leafs, as saying that he doesn't' intend to turn professional this season and that he does not wish: to play hockey in Toronto.

They (the Leafs) may offer him a professional contract If he will not accept It then they may ask Clarence Campbell (NHL president) to suspend him. where the professional organization la concerned," Smythe said some time ago that unless Lewicki played hockey within the Maple Leaf organization this year, he would not play at all.

He finally played with Stratford Kroehlers. 1 Pickard said that if Lewicki refuses to play professionally with the Leafs, Campbell probably would ask him to have Lewicki suspended from amateur hockey. However, any question i of transferring Lewicki from Stratford to the Marlboro would be a matter for the OHA to decide. Lewicki was subject to regulation under the option to the Leafs only so far as it affected his professional career.
