Sugar Ray Robinson vs Randy Turpin NEW YORK UP—The most eagerly awaited prize fight of recent years is scheduled to take place out around second base at the Polo Grounds tonight when Randy Turpin of England, a pugilistic upskirt, gives Sugar Ray Robinson of Harlem a return shot at the middleweight title he won from him in London two months ago. American fans have never fully recovered from their shocked amazement of July 10 upon learning that Sugar Ray, regarded by many experts as the most superlative ringman of the generation, had dropped his 160-pound crown to the 23-year-old Turpin in 15 rugged, bloody sounds. Tonight they will come close to packing the huge baseball park to its capacity of 55,000; weather permitting, to watch the Harlem hotshot seek his revenge. At $20 top the spectacle will afford the throng an opportunity to vindicate its judgment of Randy Turpin as a true champion. A tremendous advance which might reach $600,000 for the two men enter the at 9 p.m. (EST) has been red by the knowledge there be no television or radio clauses in 11 cities outside York will however be private to watch it on movie screen. Colonists Fumble, Bungle Their Way Through Second Scrimmage of Year Yesterday the Colonist gridsters were put through a short, but hard session of heavy-duty scrimmage before the disappointed eyes of the coaching staff, Clare aVn Hoorebeke, John Wallin and Bill Hicks. The scrimmage lasted only a little over an hour, which to the spectators was about an hour too much or six or seven hours short — depending upon the way one looks at the team. From either viewpoint the squad certainly can, and will get more practice in the fields of blocking, tackling, rushing the passer, passing and pass catching. In other words, the team looked terrible in almost every department. Kaminsky Shines Giving the scrimmage a touch of excitement was the terrific running of pile-driver Eli Peralta; the scooting of Jimmy Robbets once sitting for large amazement of July 10 upon learning that Sugar Ray, regarded by many experts as the most superlative ringman of the generation, had dropped his 160-pound crown to the 23-year-old Turpin in 15 rugged, bloody sounds.

Weaver Shine In Scrum at Fullerton JC Fullerton Junior college had a battle on their hands night when they took on the Toro Marine football team two and a half hour scrimmaged in the Hornet stadium before 300 spectators. The Marines who have trained for about three months compared to the Yellow Jacket two weeks, moved up and the field almost at will, no matter what outfit of the Hornets on the field. Squad certainly can, and will get more practice in the fields of blocking, tackling, rushing the passer, passing and pass catching. In other words, the team looked terrible in almost every department. Kaminsky Shines Giving the scrimmage a touch of excitement was the terrific running of pile-driver Eli Peralta; the scooting of Jimmy Roberts over center for long gains and the sturdy line play of Gene Geselle, center and Glenn Kaminsky, tackle. All were standouts. The first offensive unit to try to move the ball down the field consisted of Jim Holve, left end; Bob Padilla, left tackle; Al Chayes, left guard; Geselle, center; Bill Miller, right guard; Kimminsky, tackle and Lyle Bass, right end. Leonard Kolb was at quarterback while Eli Peralta was at left half; Roberts at right half and Johnny Steinborn at full. Fred Head moved into left guard and Aaron Peralta at left half for a while then the combinations were changing every few plays with almost every one getting into the action. Peralta Top Runner Eli Peralta made some beautiful runs—waiting for his interference, picking his holes and scampering through for long gains—All this despite a bruised left leg. Curly-haired Jimmy Roberts crashed through the defensive line for long gains on sheer brute force. Roberts worked a little at the left line backer post also. After running offensive plays for almost 30 minutes, the coaches removed Roberts for a rest, but he pleaded to go over on defense—they're eager and willing to learn for the sake of the team and the coaches. They're always putting out every minute. George Bishop Good Three sets of backfield talent were lined up before the afternoon's scrimmage and all looked fairly good. First unit saw Kolb at quarterback; Aaron Peralta at right half; Ira Webber at left half and Steinborn at full. Next unit found Frank Canterry. Connolly Wins 60, 75 In LA Tennis Tourney LOS ANGELES UP — Veteran Ted Schroeder of erstwhile American Davis cup renown takes the center court once again today at the Los Angeles Tennis club against his bitter young rival of a year ago, Ken McGregor of the Australian cup team. Just as they met in the same quarter final round of the Pacific Southwest tournament here a year ago, McGregor and Schroeder held the spotlight—for the day, anyhow. Last year Schroeder won in five sets. Sharing center court honors in another quarter final were young Tony Trabert of Cincinnati, top man on the current U.S. Davis Cup team, and leann Harry Likas, the upset kid from San Francisco into Third Round. Adding a feminine touch to the program today, National Women's champion Maureen Connolly, of San Diego plays Julia Sampson, San Marino, in a third round match. The two Australians remaining in play, Frank Sedgman and McGregor, breezed through opposition today, while three American Cup members were ousted. McGregor whipped veteran Billy Talbert of New York, 6-3, 6-2; Sedgman defeated Hamilton Richardson, Baton Rouge, La., 6-2, 6-3, and Likas upset Budge Patty, Los Angeles, 6-4, 6-2. Other third round results found Schroeder winning over Tom Chambers, Los Angeles; 7-5, 6-3; Trabert over Hugh Stewart, Pasadena; 7-5, 1-6, 7-5; Seixas over Straight Clark, Pasadena; 6-1, 3, and Larsen over Noel Brown, Los Angeles 6-4, 10-8. Miss Connolly ousted Marlene O'Connor, Los Angeles, 6-0, 7-5. FAT MAN MARRIES OGUNQUIT, Me. (P) — J. Scott Smart, known in the films and on radio as the "Fat Man," was married night when they took on the Toro Marine football team two and a half hour scrumming in the Hornet stadium before 300 spectators. The Marines who have training for about three months compared to the Yellow Jacket two weeks, moved up and did the field almost at will, no matter what outfit of the Hornetts on the field. The red suited Flying Bulls gold helmets completely dominated the offensive play while lerton stood out on defense parts. And the main defense of the Hornet machine was Leonard Weaver who just had the whole Marine teaming out after him in rather derous fashion. Too Kough Maybe Weaver was all over them at certainly the right time given up from his defensive position to make some of the best tackles ever seen in Fuller stadium so early in the season. In fact some of the big men and tough Marines thought little half from Anglehem would little too rough and they could seem to like him the least one. In fact, they actually tried rough him up unnecessarily, to no avail, as the ex-ex St league half kept coming back smearing them for bone cruis setbacks. Why, one could hear the little power-ball snort into some of the largest lookinmen on the field with comp authority and with successful suits. At any rate,, the Marines w forget the little defensive who kept getting in their feet, and generally making trots for them. Peterson Directs Team Enoch Peterson, at quarterback saw some action as did John prian and Russ Noe. Chuck Hi way, quarterback from last son played mostly at safety defense and left half on off Jewel Owens looked good and mostly the latter, as he was t peed time and time again behind the line for huge losses. Paul Dearth, from Excel high, directed the team from quarterback for the most pu while Jack King came in for a Three sets of backfield talent were lined up before the afternoon's scrimmage and all looked fairly good. First unit saw Kolb at quarterback; Anron Peralta at right half; Ira Webber at left half and Steinborn at full. Next unit found Frank Cancino at quarterback; Johnny Herrera at right half; Eli Feralta at left half and Roberts at fullback. The third team found George Bishop at the quarterback post; Ronnie Sanchez at right half; Walt Templeton at left half and Dick Trabert over Hugh Stewart, Pasadena, 7-5, 1-6, 7-5; Seixas over Straight Clark, Pasadena, 6-1, 6-3, and Larsen over Noel Brown, Los Angeles, 6-4, 10-8.

The two were due to weigh in at noon today at the offices of the Boxing Commission in the lower city, a feat somewhat comparable to holding a three-ring circus in a phone booth. Neither har had any difficulty making the weight. Turpin was expected to do about 158. Robinson 157. In their first fight the Englishman had a pull of nearly four pounds. Robinson has beer a firm betting favorite ever since the return bout was set and a joint majority of American experts favor him to win, mainly by a decision in the full 15 rounds. There has been very little bookmaking around here, for reasons best known to the bookmakers. But there has been considerable man-to-man betting at 2 to 1 on Robinson.

Bethel Boys Brush by Boniface For Church League Crown of 51 Bethel Baptist outsugged St. Boniface 8 to 5 last night at the City park to win the Church League championship for 1951. Two big innings did the trick. The Baptists bunched six of their ten hits in the first and fifth innings to score three and four runs respectively and put the game on ice. Their other tally came in the third when they again bunched three of their safeties. The almost unheard of making two double plays also were life savers for the Baptists as they stopped the Saints in the third and fourth innings with twin kill-ting favorite ever since the return bout was set and a joint majority of American experts favor him to win, mainstay by a decision in the full 15 rounds.

He held the place Angels to four single in four Seattle runs with and a double and scored himself. Brown actually wore single-handed in the frame as he stepped to b the bases loaded and slam Bill Motsan pitch to right.

Jersey Joe In Rare Plight NBA CHICAGO (UP)—The National Boxing association has left a loophole for Jersey Joe Walcott in its new get-tough policy against champions who evade title defenses. In closing its 32nd annual convention yesterday, the NBA pledged firm enforcement of its long standing rule requiring a champion to defend his title within six months or forfeit it. Some fighters have been dodging the rule when purses were not suitable. However, the NBA said it will listen to "legitimate or logical explanations" for failure to defend. This will be especially true, the NBA said, in the heavyweight division which has "inherent peculiarities." This was considered a loophole for the aging Walcott who realized his dream by winning the crown from Ezzard Charles in July. The NBA plans to establish a list of "suspected" boxers who appear on the verge of physical or mental disability. The last will be circulated to various state commissions as a safeguard for such BASEBALL STANDINGS AMERICAN LEAGUE W L Pet GB Cleveland 89 52 681 New York 86 51 628 Boston 81 54 600 Chicago 75 64 540 Detroit 63 75 457 24½ Philadelphia 60 81 426 29 Washington 54 81 400 32 St. Louis 47 39 316 13½ RESULTS TUESDAY Boston 4, Detroit 3, St. Louis 4, New York 2-3, Cleveland 6-5, Philadelphia 5-2, First game 11 innings.

Kyne is "positively" going to buy the San Francisco baseball franchise, "it's the first I've heard of it," Clarence "Pants" Rowland, Pacific Coast league president, said last night. "I won't be quoted on the matter until and if the application is made through the proper channels to the league board of directors," Rowland said in a telephone interview. The presidents of the right teams in the league consider the board of directors. "Yagan is one of those directors and he knows that our league constitution calls for that to submit any offer to the rest of them," Rowland said. "The directors will have to okay or reject any offer." Movie Houses Contemplate TV NEW YORK (CP)—Every movie house eventually will have television as a supplement to its film programs, predicts the head of the Theater Owners of America. Mitchell Wolfson of Miami, chairman of the board of Theater organization, said 27 movie houses now have TV equipment and more than 150 have TV projectors ordered. He said orders for theater television equipment are in excess of the ability of manufacturers to produce it. Wolfson, at a press conference yesterday, said theater television would, in the main, present attractions not available for home television such as boxing matches. If You Drive!

The burning regret of Randy's supporters is that their government wouldn't permit them to bring along heavy money for betting purposes. They think they see a chance to ease the dollar shortage. There was no question that Turfpin, a coffee-colored scraper of unusual strength and endurance gave the 31-year-old Sugar Ray a handsome going-over in their first meeting. The pictures made it clear that the American champion, winding up a gay tour of the continent, simply had run in to a rough, tough, rugged young customer who hadn't bothered to read the record book. Randy, an extremely unorthodox young boxer, made Sugar for all the vaunted skill look awful ward much of the time. The champion, apparently weary and obviously off in his timing, was in bad shape in the later rounds bleeding coolly from a cut over his left eye. He uttered no alibi, but when he came back home it was plain his pride had been severely wounded and that he meant to get hunk. Stars Win 6-2 Behind Wade, Angels Drop (By The Associated Press) Pitching prevailed as Seattle and Hollywood, the No. 1 and No. teams of the NL baseball league, won their opening game of the semi-final series playoffs or a $20,000 players pot. Seattle led by Harold Skinner, brown shot out Los Angeles last night, 7-0, and Hollywood with Ken Wade hurling five-hit ball turned back Portland, 6-2. Brown was almost the entire show at Seattle. He held the third place Angels to four singles, drove in four Seattle runs with a triple and a double and scored one run himself. Brown actually won the same single-handed in the fourth game as he stepped to bat with the bases loaded and slammed a full Motsar pitch to right center. Tribe Staggers Into First Place In American Loop While Bums Move Up (By the Associated Press) A band of weary Cleveland Indians staggered out of Philadelphia today, their warpaint smearde their tombawks bent, but safely ensembled in first place in the American league race. Fortunately to escape from the City of Brotherly Love with a suit in yesterday's twelfth-ballheader, the Tribe today owned a full game advantage over New York. While Cleveland was thrilled 9-5 by the Giant-killing Athletics after soonerzing out an 11-minute 9-5 victory, the Yankees were struck by lightning twice. Lightning Strikes The lightning came in the form of the usually Inert St. Louis Browns who stunned the baseball world by inflicting 4-3 and 6-3 defeats upon the defending champions. The twin loss not only sent the Yankees reeling out Hollywood's Big Ben Wade won his 10th straight game and his 7th of the year. He hasn't been eaten since July 18 when Portland stopped him. He retired the first 16 Portland batters last night. It was touched for three hits in the seventh as the Beavers scored their runs. Frankie Kelleher, the Stars' left elder, won the game in the early first inning when he socked one off Marino Pierotti's curves over the noce for his 29th home run with George Schmee and Dino Restael on base. Frankie Woods Starts. The teams play again tonight with Marv Grisson scheduled to start for Seattle against Los Angeles Warren Hacker. Grissom's record is 20-11 and Hacker's (8-15), but Hacker's last game was a no-hitter against Seattle. Hollywood, Red Adams (11-9) will start for Portland against Big Kinky Woods (12-9). The semifinal series is two-out-three, the winners to meet in the finals in a best-of-five series. The playoffs winner gets $10,000, the runner-up $5000, and the semi-final losers $2500 each. The attendance was poor for the night's games, 3583 at Seattle and only 1858 at Hollywood. While Cleveland was thrilled 9-5 by the Giant-Killing Athletics after squeezing out an 11-inning 6-5 victory, the Yankees were struck by lightning twice. Lightning Strikes. The lightning game in the form of the usually Inert St. Louis Browns who stunned the baseball world by inflicting 4-2 and 6-3 defeats upon the defending champions. The twin loss not only sent the Yankees reeling out of first place but dropped them a full game behind the Indians and only four in front of the third place Boston Red Sox. A three-run homer by Cliff Mape, another former Indian as well as a Yankee, provided St. Louis with the winning margin in the nightcap. The victory went to Jormy Byrne, whom the Yankees last June traded to the Browns. The lefthander, however, was keyed in the sixth and it took a sterling relief job by Satchell Paige to nail down the triumph. Paige was a member of the Indians championship team of 1948. Red Sox Profit. It was a profitable day for the Red Sox, who picked up a game and a half on the Yankees and a game on the Indians by beating Detroit, 4-3. A three-run eighth inning burst enabled them to overcome a 3-1 deficit. Elsewhere Washington ended a nine-game losing streak with a 10-inning 7-6 victory over the Chicago White Sox. Sam Mele's single scored Tem Ferrick with the winning run. Brooklyn moved a step nearer to clinching the National League flag, shutting out Cincinnati, 7-6 as the St. Louis Cards held the New York Giants to a split. Cliff Chambers, Redbird lefthander stemmed as three-run ninth hit.
