Driscoll 563 2377 Dupas Stops Martinez After Race Charges New Orleans (U.R) Ralph Dupas, New Orleans lightweight, says he won Monday night's bloody and bruising 10-rounder over welterweight Vince Mar tinez of Paterson, N. J., to show appreciation to his hometown supporters. Dupas, who upset Martinez in a decision bout, fought viciously and led an attack that Martinez couldn't stop with his slashing left jabs. The little whirlwind, weigh ing 141V4 pounds at fight time, lost the nickname "Native Dane- Dutch Giant To Battle John Holman Portland U.R) Ewart Pot gieter, a giant who hopes to con tinue his climb up . the heavy weight boxing ladder, and John ny Holman, a battler who hopes to return to his former prom inence in ring circles, clash here Tuesday night in a scheduled 10-round bout. Potgieter's appearance will be his first since he knocked out Bruce Olson and sent him to the hospital with serious in juries. The 7-2 South African of Dutch descent will be facing one of his toughest tests in Holman. Holman ranked high on the heavyweight list until he was knocked out by Eddie Machen in Portland's nationally-televised fight last fall. A 10-round lightweight bout between Larry Vasquez of Mexi co and Billy Walker of Oakland, Calif., also is on the card. Bevos Nose Out Padres Ontario, Calif. U.R The San Diego Padres battled the luckless Los Angeles Angels Tuesday in the final exhibition of the spring series for both teams. The Padres Monday were eked out, 4 to 3, by Portland. The Angels, last year's PCL cham pions, worked out Monday at Wrigley Field in an attempt to iron out problems before the leagjue opens Thursday. San Diego also has worries. Outfielder Harrv Elliott hrnkp his left ankle sliding into third with a double during the Port land game. Elliott ledjhe PCL in batting in 1954 with a .350 mark. HOCKEY. Montreal (U.P.) Coach Milt Schmidt of the Boston Bruins confidently predicted his underddg team "will win" Tues day night and even the Stanley Cup finals against the Montreal Canadiens at one game apiece. "Naturally, I think we're go ing to win, said Schmidt, whose Bruins fooled many observers by eliminating the league-leading Detroit Red Wings in five games during their semi-final series. "If I didn't, what kind of a coach do you think I'd be?" Meanwhile, coach Joed Blake of the Canadiens continued to complain about the wagering edds, which for the second con secutive series have established the Habitants as prohibitive fa vorites. Cleveland (U.P.) The Cleveland Barons will play host to the Rochester Americans as the final round of the American Hockey League playoffs gets under way Tuesday night. Rochester, fielding its first team in the AHL, will rule as the sentimental favorite. The Americans, after flirting with the cellar for a good part of the season, hit stride in the last few weeks to tie for second place. In the initial Calder cup appear ance, Rochester beat defending titleholder Providence in five games to gain the final round. The Barons have been the most successful club in league history. Winner of the champ ionship cup several times in 21 years, Cleveland will depend on its "GEM" line of Fred Glover, Bo Elik and Jimmy Moore to end Rochester's surge. The Bar ons outlasted Hershey 4 games to 3 in the semi-final round. Following Tuesday night's big clash, the teams will continue their best-of-seven series in Ro chester Wednesday, in Cleve land on Saturday and back' in Rochester on Sunday. Who borrows I 9 OUSEHOLD FINANCE 123 E. Main St., 2nd Floor PHONE: 3-5301 er," as he carried the fight to the H6V2 pound Jersey fighter. "I won this one for the hometown," Dupas said. Dupas said he was deeply touched when public sentiment apparently rallied around him last week when he successfully fought charges that he was a Negro and ineligible to box whites in Louisiana. A section of the state Health Department asked the state Box ing Commission to invoke a 1956 law against Dupas after Dupas' racial background was chal lenged. The law prohibits mixed athletic contests. But after hearings held a week ago, the commission okayed Monday night's fight and refus ed to validate the racial charges. The fight in wind-swept Peli can Stadium was delayed briefly at the beginning when Dupas kneeled in the ring to receive a blessing from a Roman Catholio priest standing near the press table. Martinez' trainer, Whitey Bim stein, thought the decision was a "hometown" decision. The Jersey fighter said he thought he won seven rounds. Dupas said he felt he outboxed Martinez in at least six rounds. The fight was scored 5-4-1, 4-4-2 and 6-3-1, Dupas.

Sport Parade New York (U.RV - Them as has "gits" and so Tony Kubek of the New York Yankees and Rene Valdes of the Brooklyn Dodgers are the front-running pre-season favorites today to wind up with Rookie of the Year honors. It actually has been a poor year for rookies hoping to crack the big league ice. No more than seven of them are expected to Kimble KOs Reidy Davis Boston (U.R) The National A A U boxing championships move to the Arena Tuesday night for quarter-final competition and if the action continues the way Monday night's ended then fans are in for an exciting show. There hadn't been a knockout all evening through 28 three round fights as the elimination bouts at the Garden went into the heavyweight division. Then the fun began. Willie Kimble, a tremendous Negro from Cleveland, got the first kayo by putting Reidy Dav is of Philadelphia away at 0:12 of the second round. Boston heavyweight Lee Wil liams sent the partisan fans home on a happy note, clubbing De Witt Lee of Buffalo, N.Y., to a third round knockout with a savage, two-fisted attack, in the night's final bout. Defending 112-pound titlist, Albert Pell of New York City, ousted highly-regarded Tien Chung of San Francisco in a three-rounder. Pell was one of four New York City residents who advanced to the quarter-finals. The others were 119-pounder Earl Spence, who decisioned Richard Beasley of Philadelphia; 125-pounder Ru bin Pizarro, who decisioned Johnny Britt of Philadelphia; and William Pickett, who scored an impressive unanimous decis ion over Harry Sandler of San Francisco in the 147-pound div ision. PILOTS TRIUMPH Portland (U.R) University of Portland's tennis team Mon day defeated Oregon 5-2. Bill Rose of Portland made it 24 wins in a row by defeating Larry Ottis of Oregon 6-1, 6-1. By JACK CUDDY Sports Writer United Preis be in the major league lineups on opening day. The seven are Kubek, Valdes, White Sox outfielder Jim Landis, Kansas City second baseman Milt Graft, Giant shortstop Andre Rodgers, first baseman Bob Bowman of the Phillies and possibly outfielder Bobby Gene Smith of the Cardinals. -Kubek Everybody's Choice Kubek is everybody's choice as the Rookie of the Year. At this early date, Valdes, a 22 game winner with Portland last season, stands as his top rival. Eddie Joost and Lefty O'Doul both named him as the top Pa cific Coast league graduate. The Yankees are keeping three others who may make it big, namely infielders Bob Richard son and Woddy Held and pitcher Al Cicotte. Brooklyn, too, ex pects much from southpaw Fred Kipp, a 20-game winner at Mon treal, while catcher John Rose boro, stymied behind Roy Cam panella and Rube Walker, prob ably will return to the minors for more seasoning. If Campy fails, Roseboro will return via air mail. Rodgers has been getting a lot of raves from the Giants but there is a needling question as to whether he will hit. Staying up with him is Curt Barclay, a 15-game winner at Minneapolis. Four Promising Phils The Phililes, in addition to Bouchee and Bowman, , are ex pecting hurling help from Don Cardwell and Seth Morehead. Pittsburgh looks to - infielder John Powers while the Cards, in addition to Smith, count on pitchers Bob Mabe and Tom Cheney and second baseman Ed die Kasko. Over in the American League, two fine catchers are standing disconsolately in line awaiting their chances. One is Haywood Sullivan of the Red Sox and the other is Earl Battey, up from Toronto to the White Sox. Cleveland expects more pitch ing help from southpaw Bud Daley, 11-1 at Indianapolis, and Stan Pitula, who had a 15-4 mark with the same club. They are also looking hard at out fielder Roger Maris and infield er Larry Raines. Washington's main rookie hope is pitcher Dick Hyde, who had a 15-6 year at Chattanooga. All in all, it's a rather slim rookie crop. at any tiijie, on Right now, with new car production and deliveries at their peak, your Mercury dealer is trading high on his year's largest inventory operating ; on a high volume, low margin basis.
