Walker Is Beaten By Savage New York (U.R) Middle weight Milo Savage of Salt Lake City was unhappy today about his turn-table victory over Sam my Walker of Springfield, Mass., "because he didn't give me a ffooH fight." : Savage finished stronger and won a majority decision Mon day night at St. Nicholas arena in the return television 10-roun-der with Walker, who had taken a split verdict over Milo on Mar. 14. The Westerner weighed 161 pounds; Walker, 156V. Monday night's scrap lacked the thrills of their March brawl in which Walker rose twice from the canvas to take the decision. Walker. 27. changed his style Monday night and kept at close quarters with bobbing-weaving tactics. He was pushed through the ropes onto the ring apron as the bell ended the seventh round, but there were no knock downs. Savage, who landed the hard er punches with hooks to body and head, suffered a cut on his left brow in the fifth round. De- spite his March defeat, Milo was favored at 2-1 Monday night. Brown Tops PCL Hitters San Francisco (U.R) Hector Brown of the Oakland Oaks topped the Pacific Coast League pitchers in percentages with eight wins and a single loss, ac cording to figures released today by statistician William Weiss. In games through Sunday Brown had a winning percentage of .889. Gene Bearden of San Fran cisco had the most wins with 12 while George Piktuzis of Los An geles had recorded 102 strike outs for leadership in that de partment. Bob Garber of Holly wood was the loop's workingest hurler, having pitched 158 innings. In the deficit column Allen Gettel of Oakland, Bob Hall of Portland and Gonzalo Naranjo of Hollywood had each been beaten ten times. John Briggs- of Sacra mento had issued the most free tickets, passing 63 batters. The loop had six unbeaten pitchers, headed by Lou Kret- low of Seattle, but none had ap peared often enough to figure in the standings. Kretlow, however, had three decisions, all shutouts and it appeared to be a matter -of time before he became a fig uring hurler.
