Maybe End Of Road
For Ray Robinson
BY MURRAY ROSE
" NEW YORK, June 26.—
{(AP) — The glorious ring
career of Sugar Ray Robin
son may have come to an
end in the blast furnace
heat of Yankee Stadium—
i'ust two rounds away from
ictory over Light Heavy
weight Champion Joey
Maxxgn and a third jewel
for his gleaming crown.
Steaming 103-degree heat mrelt
@d the taut flesh off the lean mid
dleweight king and burned out
his resistance after 13 rounds of a
wvaliant effort. He collapsed and
the victory went to Maxim. |
Maybe End |
There was many an expert who
felt that ne had seen the last of
the great Sugar Man.
The bout will go down in the
books as 1 14th round technical
knockout for Joey—the bell had
sounded to start the 14th — but
everyone in the wilted crowd of
47,983 (gross gate $421,696) will
credit the TKO to the steambox
that was Yankee Stadium last
night,
Ray wouldn’t and couldn’t talk
to the Eess after he was helped
to his dressing room. He had just
suffered the first knockout—tech
nical though it was—of his 11%
Kears of pro boxing, It was only
is third defeat in 137 bouts, but
two of them have come in less
than a {:ar. He lost to Randy
Tyurpin last July 10.
“Robinson is mentally as well
as physically exhausted,” said Dr.
Ira McCown, State Athletic Com
mission physician and one of the
first %0 lcave Sugar’s dressing
room.
Mentally Tired
“He's speaking unintelligibly.
He appears to be out in left
field.”
The middleweight champion,
who started out weighing 15715,
to Mawxim’s 173, left the ball park
with his bathrobe wrapped around
hin.
Through the first 11 rounds,
Ray, as graceful as a ballet dan
cer, moved In and out and side
ways on his taller foe. He shot
labs %0 the head and body, rattled
im with {lashing combinations to
the head and body, and staggered
him in the seventh and ninth
rounds with smashing left hooks.

The best Maxim could do on his
darting rival was to dig those
shorties to the body in the
clinches. He landed occasional left
hooks to the head and a rare right
without much steam.
In the i2th, two rounds after
Referee Ruby Goldstein became
ill from the oppressive heat and
was replaced by Ray Miller, Rob
inson appeared to wobble as he
retreated from Maxim, now the
stalker.
Heat Scores
Suddenly the heat, the 15%
pounds weight handicap and
everything else caught up with
the sleek, poised Harlemite near
the end of the 13th.
He let fly with a haymaker
right that missed by a mile and
fell flat on his face from exhaus
tion. As the round-ending gong
sounded, he collapsed against the
ropes in a neutral corner. His
handlers quickly dragged him to
his stool.
Jimmy Turns
Tide On Chick
At Last Hole
BY HUGH FULLERTON, JR.
LOUISVILLE, June 26.—(AP)—
For Jimr Turnesa, the first victory
was the hardest.
That’s easy to say today after
watching the swarthy, tight
lipped little man fight his way
back from what locked like a
certain defeat to whip Chick
Harbert 1-up on the 36th hole
of the Big Springs course to win
the PGA Championship.
It was the first major title ever
taken by a professional member of
the famous Turnesa golfing clan.
But Jimmy said it himself
even before he went out to meet
Harbert, a golfer who wades
into the tough spots and usually
comes out ahead with the big
punch.
Comparing his trip to the finals
this year to that of 10 years ago,
when he whipped Dutch Harrison,
Jug McSpaden, Ben Hogan and
‘Byron Nelson in successive
matches, only to bow to Sam
Snead in the final, Turnesa insist
ed this one was harder.
“1 was ahead of those guys,”
he said unsmilingly. “This time
every match has been tough.
\ Ted Kroll, semifinal loser, never
let up on me. Every time I
thought I had him, he’d come
right back at me. If I hadn’t
played Clarence Doser the day
before, 1 probably would have
lost to Kroll. Doser played the
same way.”
Turnesa, third member of his
family to reach the PGA final,
imust have learned something
ifrom those matches. Harbert
knocked him down at the very
first hole. After the first 18 he
was three down. Then, like his
earlier rivals, he “came back” at
his rival.
While the wild-shooting Har
bert became wilder as the fen
sion increased, little Jim
steadied, improved his long fron
shots, which had been erratic,
and began sinking the “pres
sure” putts.
Saye Fans 18, Gives
Up Only Three Hits
BY “DRIFTY” DRIFTMIER
Dickie Saye, who appears to be strikeout “king” in the
Municipal League so far, proved his prowess at the mound
again last night as he struckout eighteen batters and al
lowed only three hits in leading his DeMolay teammates
to a 12-0 trouncing of Lyndon House. @~ . 5
Saye has struck out 60 batters
in his last four fall games. Except
for three singles two of them
bunts and three walks, the De-
Molay hurler seemed 1o have com
plete mastery of the mound. Sev
eral titnes, the Lyndon House
boys had men in scoring position,
but just couldn’t come through
with the necessary scorin gpunch,
Sidney Allen, who handled the
Lyndon House pitching chores
for the first two innings, was
credited with the loss. After hav
ing been scored on for eight runs
in his two inning stint, Allen was
relieved by Emerson Heywood.
Heywood has pitched in his team’s
last three games, Monday and
Tuesday nights, but was without
success in holding down the De-
Molay and was pulled in favor of
James Flanagan, who pitched the
final two frames.
Slamming out a double and two
singles in three official jaunts
to the plate, Bobby Coile, DeMolay
first sacker, sparked the night’s
batting performances. Saye bo
osted his club’s hitting with two
singles and a booming triple to
left-center in four times at bat.
In the second mning George Up
church blasted a homerun with
on one on to help the cause.

Won’t Finish
” H *
Last”-Harris
BY RALPH RODEN
Associated Press Sports Writer
“We won't finish last.”
That’s what Bucky Harris, gen
ial manager of the Washington
Senators stated firmly in Febru
ary.
“I don’t know where we’ll fin
ish. We’'ll win more games than
we did last year and we won’t
finish last,” he said.
Washington fans weren’t exact
ly jumping up and down over the
Senators’ outlook for 1952. There
were too many holes to plug.
But Harris, by astute manipula
‘ tions in the trade marts, has more
than kept his word. The Senators
are a country mile from last place
and are threatening to plunge into
the American League pennant
race.
Victors in only 62 ganres last
year, the Senators scored their
32nd triumph yesterday, outlasting
the cooled-off Chicago White Sox,
9-6, in 10 innings.
Washington’s contingent of for
mer New York Yankees figured
prominently in the triumph.
Jackie Jensen boomed a two
run homer to run his hitting
streak to 11 games, while Tom
Ferrick picked up the win in re
lief with the help of Don John
son.
The victery enabled the Sena
tors to take over - fourth place
from the White Sox by three per
centage points and move to within
four games of the league-leading
New York Yankees, who dropped
a 10-9 decision to the Browns in
St. Louis.
Rookie outielder Bob Neiman
broke up the game, played in 100-
degree heat, with a two-out homer
in the eighth inning off Bobby
Hogue. The teams collected- 28
hits and committed seven errors,
five by the Browns.
The loss cut the Yanks’ lead to
2% games over the Boston Red
Sox, who moved into the runner
up slot by trouncing the Detroit
Tigers, 10-3, while Cleveland’s
erstwhile second-place Indians
bowed to the Philadelphia Ath
letics, 11-9.
