Lauro Salas Whips Jimmy Carter For Lightweight Championship Of World By BOB MYERS LOS ANGELES (#=New York’s Jimmy Carter won the lightweight championship in an upset, he “lost it the same way, and so today the boxing world greeted a new ruler of the 135-pound division—Lauro Salas, Monterrey, Mex Just as 28-year-old Carter eap- tured the crown with 14-round knockout over Ike Wil- liams last May 25, so did Carter | create a surprise by dropping it to his 24-year-old rival, a com- parative unknown in title circles, in 15 rounds Wednesday night. True, the decision was a split one, and many boxing writers dis- agreed with the verdict. But the fact remained today—the new champion is Lauro Salas, a young- ster who, like Carter not too long ago, was getting nowhere in box- ing until he was ushered into the title picture. If there was divided opinion among the officials and sharp dis- agreement among the experts, certainly there was nothing but international joy stretching from Los Angeles’ Olvera Street to all Parts south of the border. Salas is the first native Mexican to win an undisputed world cham pionship. This was no win for myself | alone,” exclaimed the tempestuous Salas. “I am glad for the people of Mexico—the Mexican people here, the people in Mexico. Promoter Cal Eaton promptly began efforts for a rematch as provided in the fighters’ contracts in the event of a Salas upset. It calls for a rematch within 60 days Carter, dethroned in his third defense of the title, was disconso- late. So was. his manager, veteran Willie Ketchum, who declared “Jimmy got tired but I don't know how they saw the other guy winning.” Referee Frankie Van gave Cart- er the bout on points, 8382 on the California 11-point per round sys- tem. Judge Mushy Callahan called } it for Salas, 8481, and Judge Joe } Stone had it 83'2-81%. The As- sociated Press scored it 8382 for Carter, and ac ded Carter the heavier volume The bout attracted 7 fans and the gross gate was $3 plus $17, for the te’ rights, Carter weighed 134, Salas B1 Most of the 15 rounds were | packed with action, but there were | no knockdowns. eee Bench Views — By — JACK K.

Rodriguez started for Pepe’s and in the second he walked three and a single by Pita scored two runners. In the fifth, Evans tied the count when Kerr singled to left, a wild pitch put him on third and Diaz’ single to left put him over the plate. In the sixth the Evans boys won the game when E.

Sal Maglie Wins Sixth Straight Game By JACK HAND Associated Press Sports Writer Sal (the Barber) Maglie is shav- ing National League hitters so close the boys are objecting to the lather, Cincinnati did its best to upset the New York Giants ace Wednes- day with repeated demands to see the ball. The intimation was that Maglie might be sneaking in a “spitter.” the umps could find nothing wrong. When Frank Hiller, Cincy pitcher asked Umpire Augie Donatelli for the ball in the fifth, Maglie burned to a crisp. His toss sailed over the catcher’s head toward the stands. Next inning the Giants asked to see the ball Hiller was throwing. Maglie was so upset he cooled off the Reds with six hits, 8-3, for his sixth straight victory. Unbeat- en, in 1952, the 34-year-old right- hander is off to a flying start toward another big year, like his 23-6 of last season. With Maglie, Larry Jansen and Jim Hearn chaining the opposition, the champion Giants are on a 5- game win spree. They have won 16 of their last 18 to open up a 2- game lead on the runnerup Brook- lyn Dodgers. Bobby Thomson, the golden boy of the ‘51 season, got the Giants off fast with a first-inning triple and a steal of home. Home runs by Willie Mays and Wes Westrum opened up enough of a lead for the Barber of Niagara Falls, N.Y. Gerry Staley, beaten only by Maglie in compiling a 6-1 record for St. Louis, shoved Brooklyn an- other game behind the Giants with | a steady 6-hitter for a 5-1 victory. Solly Hemus was the big hitter for the Cards, hammering home three runs with a home run and triple. With Granny damner and Willie Jones doing the heavy bombing, Russ Meyer finally dodged the hard luck that trailed him in four previous games to lift the Phillies over Chicago, 9-2. Although Meyer allowed 11 hits he kept them well scattered as the Phils continued their spurt toward the first divi- sion, Pete Whsenant’s single with the bases loaded, juggled by Shortstop George Strickland just long enough to let Jack Daniels score, gave the Boston Braves a 10th-inning 4-3 edge over Pittsburgh. Hank Bauer and Johnny Sain were the chief agents helping the New York Yankees catch up with Cleveland for a 5-3 win after losing four straight to the Tribe. Bauer, sizzling as a leadoff hit- ter, paved the way for tobacco- chawin’ Sain with a homer, double and four runs batted in. The Boston Red Sox continued to wrestle with thelr same old problem—how to win away from Fenway Park—as they lost their sixth straight on the road, 6-3, at Basebal Standings BASEBALL STANDINGS By The Associated Press Won Lost Pct.
