. 1 X 1 b > THURSDAY, MARCH 15, 19 51 Juneau Wins Consolation Game fromA nchoragein 3 Minute Overtime, 67 fo 66 J.BRATTON 1S WELTER CHAMPION Bloody 15 - Round Batfle| Sees Fusari Lose Crown to Cinderella Kid CHICAGO, March 15 —(®— The NBA’'s brand new welterweigh champion Cinderella Kid Johnny Bratton, has a tentative May 4 date to defend his title against Cuba's Kid Gavilan at New York’s Madi- son Square Garden. But it will be a long time before clout-and-cruise Bratton forgets the bloody 15-round battle with game-to-the-core Charlie Fusar. which gave him Sugar Ray Rob- inson’s vacated crown at Chicago Stadium last night. Both men weighed 146% pounds. A sparce stadium crowd of 6,954 and millions who viewed it on tele- vision saw Bratton gain a split de- cision over Fusari. The fight appearec finished when Bratton, a cute clipper who fights in spurts, whistled a right that knocked Fusari flat on his back in thé 10th round. But Fusari rolled over, 'clutched onto the referee’s shirt and hauled himself to his feet at the count of nine. The gross gate was $42021.90. The crowd was held down by rain and snow — as well as television. Although Bratton ran out of gaf after flooring Fusari in the fourth rolnd for a four count and almost ending the fight in the tenth, il ‘Wwhs a great night for the 23-year-old Chicago Negro. Twice previously, in ring, Bratton had his jaw broken— by Beau Jack and Ike Williams— and until late last year appeared headed for boxing’s limbo. Fusari paid dearly for five months of idleness.

Anchorage won the games, 77-57 and 59-58. Last night's game — a “bonus” contest since Anchorage -sewed up {the title the previous night — was tied 64-64 at the end of the regu- | lation period. Ralph Treffers, the Bears' hero| in the victory, sank the winning basket with one minute and five ceconds left of the overtime. The ket was the only scoring he did 1 the entire game. Anchorage’s Ray Leonard opened the scoring in tne overtime drop- ping in a long push shot to make it 66-64. Ninnis srored a foul shot two minutes to go, 66-65. Seconds later ceme Treffer’s win- ning push shot from the corner. The Bears controlled the ball in he final minute to keep the Eagles from scoring. During the first half Anchorage controlled the backboard. Neither ‘eam was hustling very much with plays not so neat and setups and layins missed. The Eagles led by not more than three points at any time in the hird period. The Bears, in the last 30 seconds, dropped in a gift shot to tie u the game at 48-all. In the fourth period of the de- liberate and closely played game, the scoring constantly see-sawed. There were two ties before the final core of the regulation period. Score by quarters: Anchorage 16. Tuneau 19; 33-3148-48,64-64; over- ime, 68-67. Engstrom, who was the goat in Tuesday's game, was the hero last night leading both teams with 21 voints. Other Juneau scoring was Martin 15, Ninnis 14, D. Graves 6. Orme 4, Treffers 2, Carlson 3, G. Graves 2. Fred Fultz topped An- chorage scorers with 16 points. A total of 57 personals were called with 32 for the Bears and 25 for the Eagles. D. Graves, Martin, Nin- nis and G. Graves were all lost via the personals route. Anchorage lost three men the same way.
