"I always have been in favor of bonuses, but some of these guys are getting too rough for me this year, the way they're tossing money around," Carpen ter said. "Some of them don't even get started until they're of fering the kids $50,000." Proviso Ruled Out Under the Carpenter plan, the last place clubs in each major league would get first crack at any of the so-called "hot shot" kids available from high school and college campuses and the nation's sand lots.

Punches With Might . The Cuban champ had been rated a comparatively light pun cher because of only 24 pre vious knockouts in 98 profes sional fights. He let the terrifically aggres sive 21-year-old Philadelphia Ne gro force the fighting- in every round, and 1 he set himself to punch with all his might when ever he thought he saw an op ening. The big opening came in the 10th round, when he landed a crushing left hook on the jaw of the challenger who had been guarding chiefly against rights. Turner's knees buckled and he lurched about the ring under a bombardment, but in the last 30 seconds Turner came storm ing back. Turner Staggered The game youngster came out fighting in the 11th. Gavilan set himself for every punch. Again he staggered the chall enger with a left hook to the chin, followed by a right smash to the same target. He battered the youngster into the ropes and there blasted him with 13 right and left hooks to the head. The upper rope was under Turner's right armpit and he appeared unable to fall. Referee Pete Tomasco then halted the bout to prevent Turn er's suffering serious injury. George Katz, manager of Turn er, complained bitterly because the referee ad intervened when only 13 seconds remained in the round. Gavilan, scaling 146 pounds to Turner's i44Vz, was unable to score a knockdown, but the ring ropes certainly robbed him of one in the 11th session.
