WEDNESDAY NIGHT -6:45 MM , Mathews ' By BEN PHLEGAR , AP Sports Writer "At least 11 pitchers sllll nurse hopes of Joining Robin Roberts of the Philadelphia Phillies as 20 game winners this season, but most of them will need Lady Luck on their side to make the grade. With less than five weeks to play, even Roberts, who at one stage looked a good bet to win 30, will probably consider himself extreme ly fortunate it he comes close to' his last year's total of 28. The strong-armed right-hander posted victory No. 21 last night, just one day shy of two weeks after winning No. 20. Between times he failed in two starts be fore handcuffing Milwaukee on live bits for a 6-1 decision. Closest to him in either league 1 lefty Warren Spain, of the Braves, who won his 18th Sunday.

Ersklne owed his success against Gavilqn, Jones djo Tonight - By MURRAY ROSE - NEW YORK IB There's no doubt that Welterweight Champion Kid Gavilan is slipping but the big question is how much. Ralph (Tiger) Jones, the Yonfc ers. N. Y., middleweight, will try to supply the answer tonight when he faces the 147-pound champion in a nontitle 10-rounder in Madison Square Garden. The 9 P m. (EST) bout will be telecast coast to coast by .CBS. Gavilan is a 2-1 favorite but the rugged 25-year-Old Negro Is good enough to make the kid work for his money. Unbeaten in his last seven fights, Jones holds two wins over Danny (Bang Bang) Womber, who came up with the ring upset .of the year May 2 when he defeat ed the overconfident Kid. BIG CHIPS . Since that loss.' Gavilan has scored decisions over Italo Scor- tichlnl and Ramon Fuentes. He wasn't any ball of fire in either bout. The Cuban Flash, now 27. generally doesn't like to go all out unless tne big cmps are on uie line. He may consider Jones big enough and then there could be some fireworks. Unlike some of his critics, Gavilan doesn't think heJs fading. He believes his added savvy and punching power makes up for the loss of some of his once dazzling speed. His ambition hasn't dimmed ei ther. He hopes to whip Jones, Car. men Basllio and Johnny Bratton In welter title fights, and then get a crack at the winner of the Bobo Olson-Randy Turpin middleweight cnampionsnip contest. SAME PLAN The 154-pound Jones saw how Womber beat Gavilan by swarm ing all over him. He plans to use the same tactics against Gavilan, who will weigh about' 152. The Cu ban liked to stay back, take his time, and then stage an eye-catch ing furious rally In the last half minute or so of each round. Wom ber didn't permit him to get away with it. This will be Gavilan's eighth ngnt mis year, his record Is 6-1 for 1953 and overall 93-13-4. Jones' record for the year Is 6-1-1 and overall 30-6-3. - :m.zz..-M -"HAL'S . 3 3 235J M Ills :'.
