the bench.
Marse Joe Is confronted by the
lame predicament this year. He
has a powerful front-line squad,
but very few men to back It up.
If the Red Sox finally are to
win one, they must acquire an
other hard-hitting outfielder, a
good dependable reserve lnf iel

capable relief pitcher and a de
pendable pinch hitter.

Baby-Faced Texan Boomed
For Welterweight Crown
By JAMES F. FOWLER
Miami, Fla. VP) A young baby-faced Texan with a trip-hammer
punch is being boomed by Florida fight fans as the coming
welterweight champion of the world.
But 21-year-old Bobby Dykes is not demanding a crack at
Champion Sugar Ray Kobmson
Instead of the familiar "Lem
me at the champ, I'll murder
him" routine, Dykes is quietly
saying: "I'm not ready yet. He's
too good for me. In a year, may
be, I'll be in his class. Give me
a year."
Loyal Dykes supporters,
however, contend it won't
take a year for this rangy,
good-looking San Antonio,
Tex., welterweight to beat
Robinson.
They point to his record of 79
victories in 85 fights 37 of
which have been via kayos.
They point to his National Box
ing association rating of ninth
in his division, although he has
met no rated boxers. And they
point to his ability to box, punch
hard and out-smart his oppon
ents. Dykes' style is unusual, at
least. He plods to the ring in a
listless attitude of unconcern.
He clambers into the ring and
flops down on the nearest stool
as though he had just completed
20 miles of roadwork and dis
plays about as much animation
as a deflated basketball.
When the bell rings he ambles
toward the center of the ring
as though the journey was sap
ping his last ounce of energy.
But once a blow has been
struck he becomes as listless as
, young wildcat.
Florida fans like his sports
manship. They like his abil
ity to put on a good show but

at the same time substantially
lick his opponent by out-boxing,
out-punching and out
smarting. Once he whispered to his ob
viously beaten opponent during
a clinch to get out of the fight
before he was hurt badly. The
opponent took his advice and
dropped to his knee for the
count. Spectators contended the
fight should have been stopped
earlier by the referee.
His training routine is simple.
Two hours of roadwork and an

Eat plenty of nourishing foods
and avoid a lot of fried foods.
He takes an occasional cocktail
and smokes one cigar a day, but
doesn't inhale.
"I'm best of all at resting,"
he frankly , admits, "in fact I'm
better at restin' than any man I
know." This is to save strength,
he contends.
Dykes, recently married to a
pretty airlines stewardess here,
began his pugilistic career when
he was 17 years old in Texas.
"I got $35 for the fight and
was nearly crowned by one of
the spectators," he recalls. "One
of the fans heaved a half-filled
bottle of whiskey at me when
they gave the decision. It miss
ed." '
Now he gets about $2,500 per
fight.
"What do I want out of life?
Some money, a crack at the title
eventually, and then get out
of the fight game.
"I want some kids," he grin
ned. "Several," he added a few
minutes later. And to set him
apart from the fight crowd, he
blushed. Honest, he blushed.
