like the fight writers, were begin
ning to minimise Easy age ad
vantage in the face of Wslcott's
ISO-pro bout experience and two

Champion Louis.
More and More, they recalled how
Walcott toppled Louis twice in their

Tonight's winner will not be re

Johnny Sain. Boston's Ace, Runs Into
Unexpected Trouble With Tail-Enders
By The Associated Press
The mystery of Johnny Bain and
his loss of pitching magic gross
deeper every time the former Boa
ton ace lakes the mound.
Veteran observers, who watched
the 30-year-old curve-balling right
hander ring up 14 victories for the
Bravea last year, are at a loss to
explain his all too numerous dismal
performances this season.
Sain yesterday dropped his fifth
straight and his eighth of the year
as the Chicago Cubs downed the
Braves, t-4. In the National league's
only day game. The defeat, coupled
with Philadelphia's S-4 triumph
over the Pirates In a night game,
dropped the Bravea into fourth
place.
Bain, who has won four games,
went the distance for a change, but
