Sugar Ray Maxim For Light Heavy Title In Prospect
Prospect for a June 23 light heavy title bout at Yankee Stadium hinges on Friday negotiations between Sugar Ray Robinson and Joey Maxim. IBC president James Norris said a 50 50 purse split is possible though two major hurdles remain. Robinson may have to give up his middleweight crown if he wins, and he is disinterested in fighting Maxim. Separately, Franta advanced to finals by routing Bayshore Motors 17 2, with four Franta pitchers holding Bay Shore to four hits. Prince Buick beat Baker's Food Market 4 1, and Mearns Chevrolet defeated Culpepper Furniture 8 6 in other bracket play. Beauchamp and Brinkley drove in runs for Prince Buick, while Sellars homered for Mearns. Temple hotel guest returns key to Martin hotel, found in Texas Soil Conservation Service box. Alger awards go to Milton Hersh nwoer and Ralph Bunche by American Schools and Colleges Association. President Truman proclaims Mother's Day set for May 11.
