The Bears last year finished in a Western Division tie for second with the Los Angeles Rams at 8-4. Owner-Coach George Ha las, 62- year-old pioneer of pro football, said today his club has the ingredients to sharpen its attack.

But, he added, the Bears also need all the breaks they can get in a 1959 schedule which pits them twice against the NFL champion Baltimore Colts and the Rams within their first six games. Halas has high hopes that back Rick Casares and halfback Willie Galimore, the crux of the Bear running game last season, will be bolstered by a couple of rookies. Big Fullback. They are 235-pound fullback Johnny Adams from Los Angeles State and Pete Johnson, a fleet 200-pound halfback from Virginia Military Institute. Another offensive threat is improved Johnny Morris, third in Bear rushing in 1958.

Halas also emphasizes that what he calls the players out offensive setup will be much stronger with a corps of fine receivers. He is high on an array of such offensive ends as veterans Harlon Hill. Bill McColl, Jim Dooley and Bob Jewitt, and rookies Willard Dewveall of Southern Methodist. John Avent of Indiana. Tony catemi of Elon College in North Carolina, and Bob Coronado of College of the Pacific.

The victory enabled the Dodgers to regain second place and move to within 34 games of the San Francisco Giants who lost 6-0 to Pittsburgh. Koufax.

Because come Friday the feeling in this corner is that going to be a bad night for the mink market and Fullmer well may feel like a future lady's fur- piece harried by beagle pack.

Friendly Enemies. Basilio and Fullmer are friendly Each is highly complimentary of the courage and roughouse ability. And this mutual admiration may be the reason why, although each lost the last duke to Robinson, both men voice the belief that this will be their toughest fight. made just one mistake against Robinson the second Fullmer said today by telephone from San Francisco. let him hit me on the chin.

It was the big jest error I ever made because anybody can knock you out with one shot if it lands just CARMEN BASILIO Silky Sullivan At End of Trail like lighter!

Fullmer, who was named after Gene Tunney and idolizes Jack Dempsey, began boxing at eight while watching amateurs train in an old garage. At that age he stood on a table to punch the hag and shortly thereafter was boxing at Football Too Rough. played basketball and football in high he said, they were too rough So he devoted full time to boxing and won a number of amateur titles before turning professional.

Built along the same rugged lines, Carmen also came up through the amateurs, enlisted in the Marines at 17 and spent 24 months on Guam and at Pearl Harbor. Basilio has an edge in professional experience, at 32 having had 74 bouts of which he won 54, and lost 13 and kayoed 27. Fullmer in 53 bouts has won 49, lost four and flattened 21 rivals.

But the odds-makers have made Carmen an 8 to 5 choice in this one and from here it sounds like a solid numerical proposition. The little onion farmer can take a tremendous amount of punishment and you have to go with a beagle against a mink any day and twice on Friday. DEL MAR. Calif Aug. 25 Sullivan, the ed horse who symbolized heart throbs and heartbreak for thousands of racing fans, is at the end of his career.

Tendon trouble has forced him out of the Del Mar meeting, and co-owner Tom Ross says the big fellow will be returned to his ranch for stallion duty. Silky earned only $157.000 in three years of racing, and $83.400 of that came from winning the 1958 Santa Anita Derby, his only major victory. Derby Flop. Silky live up to his early reputation of running down the speed horses from 15 to 20 lengths back, and he failed miserably in the 1958 Kentucky Derby and the Preakness. Racing crowds often waited breathlessly for his belated rush and Silky gave it all he had, coming like a thunderbolt around the far turn and passing horse after horse in the stretch.

Ross, bothered by a weak heart, for a time was denied permission by his doctor to watch vSilky run. He was purchased for $10.700 at the Del Mar sales in 1956: won $21.750 as a two-year old, $110,225 at 3 and $25.725 this year.
