Show Sports Here and There by Al Ablett Gene Fullmer has signed for his first fight on the long trail up to the top again. Gene is to fight Tiger Jones on June 7th in Chicago. This will be his second meeting with Jones. The Tiger has fought so many times on TV he is getting to be as familiar as the soap operas. Gene has worked work-ed out a couple of times for the public in Salt Lake and experts agree that he has shown no ill effects from the Robinson KO. He just isn't the type to get gun shy. I think if he isn't instructed to fight too casually he will a-gain a-gain take the Tiger. Jones can't hit with Robinson nor is he half as smart. I have said before that the boys that fight his style Gene will take. If he gets over this fight in impressive fashion we may be in for plenty of action this summer. I don't think he will get another shot at the championship this year, because I don't think Sugar Ray will risk his title over once and that will be against the boy he thinks will draw the most. In baseball we had two surprises sur-prises this past week. North Sevier Se-vier beat our local high school team in a semi-final game in Class B and the Utah Aggies won the Western Division title. The Bingham - North Sevier game was a well played" contest with the score 6 to 5. The boys tell me they just couldn't get the key hit. Cedar City took the final game from North Sevier 13 to 0, so the Redmen are champions. The Aggie victory was a true Cinderella story. Picked by the experts to finish last, Coach Nelson's Nel-son's club just wouldn't believe the papers. After Utah U beat them 34 to 0 they came back strong to take a double header from Utah and split even with BYU to take the crown. This club didn't.have any outstanding star but they had someone come through in every game to supply the winning hit or a game saving sav-ing play. They play the winner of the eastern end this week end. Denver U is in the lead over there at this writing. . Bowling still going strong as a number of Bingham bowlers are keeping in shape for their trip across the mountains to the big Denver tournament. Here is a list of the local stars that are planning the trip Mickey Cal- listo, Russ Boren, Ken Chestnut, George Sluga, John "Blackie" Kallen and Gus Katis. Any one of these fellows is capable of taking in all in the mile high city. Al |
