(UP) A 20-pound weight advantage and more ex perience made John Holman of Chicago a 2 to 1 favorite today for tonight's nationally televised 10-round bout with Irish Joe Rowan of Philadelphia in Bay front Park Auditorium. The bis. tough-looking Holman was expected to be near 205 pounds for the bout and trainer Angelo Dundee said his fighter was in the best condition of his career. But the 20-yenr-old Rowan was full of zip In his workouts and burning with determination to cut short Holman's hopes for a title shot at champion Rocky Marclano. Holman Is the fourth - ranked heavyweight contender, but this didn't fmpress Rowan, who could win a spot among the contenders himself with a knockout over the older fighter. The fiery Irishman is expected to come Into the ring at around 185 pounds. His strategy, accord ing to trainers, probably will Be to outbox Holman "and look for a knockout shot."

Wl A punching bag that has never been touched by a boxing glove may be come the Innocent target of a spring training oral sparring match between manager Freddie Hutch inson of the St. Louis Cardinals and Birdie Tebbetts, his Cincinnati Red legs' counterpart. The bag, decorated with a carle alure that faintly resembles what can be passed off as an umpire's frowning features, was originally purchased as a gag by Dewey So riano, Seattle general manager. He hung the stuffed canvas In the Coast League team's clubhouse last year to tease Hutchinson, then Se attle manager. Soriano's idea was for Hutch, who is a hard loser, to blow off steam with a few punches at the bag Instead of at Coast League umpires. Hutchinson went along with the gag. AGREEMENT After Hutchinson was appointed manager of the Cardinals, Soriano met Cardinal general manager Frank Lane and promised to send the bag to St. Louis. Gabe Paul, however, heard about It and when Cincinnati signed a work agree ment with Seattle last fall the Reds' general manager Insisted his club had a priority on the bag be cause of the working agreement between the two clubs.
