Though crowds have surged in and around the Yankee Ticket Offices at the Stadium and A. G. Spalding (Fifth Avenue) in an effort to procure the elusive opening-game-of-the-series ducats, local fans can take advantage of excellent television facilities in the quest for seeing-it-all-happen.

Ringsiders were left to wonder what would happen next time Graziano fought someone his own size. Fusari, a welterweight who is twelve pounds lighter than Middleweight (159½ Ibs.) Rocky, had made his heavier foe look ridiculous for most of the first nine rounds. Some of Rocky's haymakers missed by feet, not inches.
