Was Basilio "robbed" as he claimed at Chicago, March 14 when he lost the crown on a hotly disputed unanimous decision? Does the clever Saxton have Basilio number? Is Carmen, a veteran of 67 tough fights, over the hill at the age of 29? Is Saxton a better champ than his critics claim? These questions should be answered under the glaring ring lights at beautiful War Memorial Auditorium where Basilio, born and reared in nearby Canastota, will be the people's choice.

Local Blackout The Syracuse area will be blacked out, along with Bingham ton, Utica, Rochester and Water town, but the rest of the nation can watch the network television, ABC, coverage of the 13 round match starting at 8 p.m CST. The same network also will beam a radio broadcast. Despite a drizzly pre fight day, Norman Rothschild, who is co promoter with the International Boxing Club, expected at least 8, .500 people to pay close to $140 000. That would be something less than a sellout of the 9.000 capacny arena. The radio TV rights dump another $75,000 into the kitty to he apportioned 40 per cent to Saxton and 20 per cent to Basilio.

The contract is for one year, which, Haney said, was just how he wanted it. The signing came as no surprise, for General Manager John Quinn flew into New York Tuesday from Milwaukee amid broad hints that it was time to discuss Han ey's future with the club.

"He did a fine job for the club," said Quinn. "I talked to President Lou Perini in Canada and he agreed that we ought to get Fred back again next year. This is an expression of appreciation and we decided that this would be an appropriate time for us to announce our plans for 1957."

Perini said that he was guaranteed "nothing." That led to speculation that Haney would be purely an interim manager, until the Braves could get someone of their choice. He had been one of Grimm's coaches.

"This came as a surprise to me." grinned Haney before the Braves game with Brooklyn. "I hadn't discussed the subject with either Quinn or Perini." I He said recently that an an nouncement on his status probably would benefit the club. "I wanted a one year contract." he continued, "I certainly would not want to stay around if they didn't like the way I operated or vice versa.
