feels he has been given a fast

."On May 6th," Riccio writes, "I

"The three weeks I was at Hor

"Of course I'm not giving up

Such a communication from base

In our experience, and we lost little
time in getting through to Buzz

presloeht of the Dodgers. Advised
that he might be In position to do
his good deed for the summer.
Bavasi said wait a minute.
"I have it here, his card," he
said finally. "It has a yellow N. P.

also Just received a copy of his
letter. Looks like he's writing- to

Just the same,- we pursued, did
the Dodgers cause this ambitious

Bobo Gets

NEW YORK tei Calm, poker

he will beat England s Randy Tur
pln "on style" and win the world
middleweight championship In Aug

Paduy V oung au artistic lacing in
Madison Square Garden last night
to capture the American 160-pound
crown by a unanimous . and . very
big margin balding Bobo said
"I've got the style to beat Tur
pin." . -
"Ho's awkward, strong and
pretty good," said Bobo of the one
time world champion, "but I be
lieve my bobbing and weaving
style will do it.
TROUBLE
"I saw pictures of his second
fight with (Ray) Robinson," said
Bobo as he dunked his hands in a
bucket of ice water, "and I know
my style will give him more trou
ble than anyone else has."
Including Robinson?
"Yes, including Robinson," said
Bobo. , .
Olson and Manager Sid Flaherty
were eager for the clash with Tur
pin but Flaherty said he wasn't
happy with promoter Jim Norrls
choice for the site. Norris wants
to put it on In New York's Yankee
Stadium on Aug. 27. Flaherty said
he prefers San Francisco, his and
Bobo's home town.
"We can do $500,000 at the gate
in Kezar Stadium and televise the
light, too." said Flaherty. "That's
a lot better than they'll do in New
York.", .; :, - , .
GOOD TAKE
Last night's massacre; which
drew 7,418 fans; grossed $36,260 at
a $12 top. The 15-rounder was
broadcast and telecast nationally,
with an extra $50,000 for radio and
TV, each glodiator collected a to
tal of. about $23,000.
The 24-ycar old Young,' a pow
er' puncher with his left, was In
the fight in the first three rounds
briefly again In the seventh, and
eighth and in the fifteenth. Other
wise it was no contest. -
- At the f 1 n I s b Judge Arthur
Busstind scored it 12-3. Judge Ar
thur Aldala had It 11-3-1, and Ref
eree Petey Scalzo, 9-4-2. The AP,
scorecard scored It -11-3-1'.
NO KNOCKDOWNS ..: ; ,
. There were no knockdowns ond
nothing close to one although both
got in their Sunday punches. Es
pecially in tne second, in that stan
za Young first shook up Olson with
a left hook" to-the ' Jaw -but slope
shouldered Bobo- came back with
a left hook of his own that seemed
to rock Paddy.
Young, who welghpd 159'i to Ol
son's 1593i, thought he could wear
down the 3 to 1 choice with body
bombs. Bobo took them without
flinching and returned all with in
terest. . .
TIME OUT!
'My husband needs cooling out,
too it's the first race he's
" won this year!"

"He did not give up his job,"
Bavasi replied. "We insisted that
at gel a leave of absence before
we consented to his plea that he
be given a chance. We gave him
a one-month contract, even though
we thought he was too small and
did not consider him a prospect,
"At the end of the month we
thought it fairer to him to cut him
loose. We were convinced he could
never hope to reach the big
leagues, so why kid him? In addi
tion to his pay we gave him $250
to cover his expenses."
Was it customary, we asked, to
hire such hopefuls on a month-to-montb
basis? Our vague Impres
sion bad been .that all baseball
contracts ran for at least a season.
"We have to do it that way In
the low minors," Buzz explained
patiently. "Otherwise we'd find
ourselves loaded up with kids who
can't really play ball."
One more thing what about that
catcher - manager, up at Hornell
who won't let anybody else play.
even when he should be in an oxy
gen tent? What about him?
"we owe Riccio a vote oi tnanks
for tipping us off about that fel
low," Bavasi chortled. "That's the
kind we need. We'll take care of
that boy. His name's Merv Dorn-burg."

In seven innings, and went on to
win, 3-1. Davis, meanwhile, pitched
a six-hitter and the Angels got
their only run in the second by
bunching a double and a single.
. Billy Joe Waters, Oakland right
hander, twirled the Acorns to a I
3-1 victory over Portland and
squared the series otr two games
each. The Oaks got all their runs
in the sixth on Pete Mime s dou

NEW YORK Wl Word from up
the Hudson says that the little vil
lage of Goshen Pop(3,400t,; the
create : oi American iioiung,.
already , is' stirring with prepara
tions lor lis onei- great day of the
year when the $.'0,000 Harribleton
lan Stake Is raced over. Its historic
Good Time track. -
With the date' of this year's
rich event, Aug. 12, still more than
a month away, some 70 horses are
In training in and around Goshen
for the meet which features the
three-year-old classic. This comes
as something of a surprise to this
corner, for we had supposed all
the available trotters were occu
pied at Reusevelt Raceway on Long
Island. ' .
Among those warming up for a
crack at the game's richest prize
are three father-and-son combina
tions two of which hsve won the
Hambletonlan before. Family part-!
nershlps seem to thrive in the sulky
business as in no other branch of
sports. - :
Best known of the three Is the
team of Ben While, 80-year-old
dean of the drivers, and his son,
Gib, 38, both of Orlando, Fla. They
are prepplng Famed Abbey, a son
of Guy Abbey, who sired the im
mortal Greyhound, The colt did
not start last year but Is said to
be turning in some hot training
miles at present. Gib is expected to
drive him in' the big one, .old Ben
being content with his record of
four Hambletonlan . triumphs.
Henry Thomas, 64, who has held
the f reins on three ' winners, is
thought to be about ready to let
his son Dick, 32, have a whirl at
it this time:-.They have been driv
ing against each other regularly on
the Grand Circuit. Their hope In
the Goshen test Is Shelby Hanover,
who won one of nine starts as a
Juvenile,
The third father-son set con
sists of Harry Bedell of Ridgewood,
N. J., who at 57 Is known as
"Junior" to his more seasoned
rivals, and his son John, 31. They i
never have won a Hambletonlan,
but think they have something real j
good in Ir Titan, a son of Titan
Hanover ' tne 1U40 winner, me cm -rent
word is that Harry intends
' to do the steeruig on Au. 12, but
: that1. John is trying to change his
'mind. , ,

The big. question around the -American
League right now Is
"Who do you like for second?"
It's true that the New York Yan- '
kees' tremendous first place lead
has' been- shaved to a mere 10 .
games, but if you look a little
deeper into the standings you find
that a real battle is developing
for the - runner-up 4,t...
Only three games separate sec
ond place Cleveland from fourth
place Boston with tUts Chicago
White Sox sandwicbea in between.
- Even Washington and Philadelphia
can't be counted out of the race
, for second. . ., . ''.
The Senators are five lengths be
, hind the Indians and A's, although
, now in the midst of a three game
losing streak, are only 7' i.
JINX LICKED
The Indians whipped Washington, '
last night, marking the first time
they have won a game on the same
day that New York lost one since
May 8. The Yankees bowed to Ted
Gray and the . lowly Detroit Ti
gers, 3-2. '
The -White Sox defeated Phila
delphia, 5-2, and the Red Sox, al
though tamed considerably after
their wild scoring .sprees of the .
past two days, beat the St. Louis
Browns, 4-1.- . - , i
In the National League the
Braves absorbed their; worst beat
ing since moving to Milwaukee.
Tne- rovitanzed New York Giants
swamped them, 45-1. i
Brooklyn broke a four game los
ing streak by taking the second
half of a doublehcader from the
Chicago Cubs, 7-1, after the Cubs
had come from behind to take the
free-hlttlng opener, 11-8,
CARDS ROLL -
The third place St. Louis Car
dinals kept rolling with a 10-2 tri
umph over Pittsburgh, tneir nmtn
victory In their last 10 games.
Philadelphia whipped, Cincinnati,
10-3.
Gray held the Yankees to five
hits in registering his first vic
tory of the season against nine de
feats. Gene Woodling'i home run
after a safe bunt, by Joe Collins
produced the only New' York tal
lies. Jim Delslng blasted two home
runs and Oray himself scored the
winning run after singling in the
seventh. - ,
Billy Goodman of the Red Sox
ran his hitting streak to 15 games
with a pair of doubles and a sin
gle against the Browns. .
The Braves really blew one
against the Giants. Three Milwau
kee pitchers gave up 18 hits, the
fielders contributed two errors and
the batters were baffled by Sail
(The Barber Magllc, who allowed
only four safeties. Bob Buhl drew
the loss, his third,., .
EASY WIN
Heavy hitting- bv Rip Repulskl,
