Yanks, {lndians Meet Tonight j In New York NEW YORK UP — Al Lopez came to town today "moanin' the blues" as if he was opening an engagement as a night club singer instead of (managing the Cleveland Indians. He’s got more troubles than he likes to think about at the moment as the Indians liegin their first eastern road trip with a two-game series against the first iplace Yankees tonight. Both Al Rosen and Ray Boone, who have Rieen the club’s chief long-iball hitters to date, aire ailing and could mrSs tonight's game. And tryinig to q>loiy without a Idn.g<ball hitter in Yankee Stadium is like playing mumble-neg without a knife. Boone has a Ixadly inflamed knee and he is afraid it is a recurrence of trouble ihe had last year when he twisted it and was out of action in the stretch run. Rosen has a stiff neck arid a -bad Cold\ and feels miserable. ‘’l’m not trying to alibi or anything, but if we don't have these two fellows in good shapej then we are in bad .shape," Lopez said. "I still don’t beliee th e Yankees are any tougher than they were last year, maybe hot as tough. But you’ve got to have a regular ijineup to beat them.” Both Boone and Rosen missed Monday night’s game in which the C hicago White Sox gained a pevenh:.t, 2-1 victory behind lefty Billy Pierce. Pierce thus (became the first Amierican League pitcher to win five games this year. He has lost one game. The defeat by Chicago not only knocked Cleveland out of first plac e hut confirmed suspicions by some of the Yankees, including {Manager Casey Stengel, that the White Sox and no( the Indians may ■be their most (persistent challengers in their /bid ifojr a fifth, straight flag. The evidence in favor of the White Sox is strong, too. in view of events to date. The White Sox beat the Yankees twice in the onlytwo games they have played, and they now have two victories out of three over Cleveland. Moreover, the Yankees “dynamited" Cleveland, 11-1, in .their only meeting to date. The \\ hite Sox beat Bob Lemon, who generally hasi been rated thisyear as the number one Cleveland moundsman. to avenge an opening day defeat in which be held them to one hit. It was his third defeat against, three wins. Pierce missed a shutout when Bobby Avila hit , a seventh-inning homer to tie the count at 1-1: Al Carrasquel drove in 'Minnie - "Minoso with a double in the e.ghth for the winning run. There iwere no other games except st ipe exhibitions. ; LoqmF said’ ho w|ould use .Early y nn, who has a 3-0 record, tn the opener against tlxe Yankees? Stengel will go along with his kid star.

Marciano, Walcott Confident Os Win HOLLAND. Mich. UP— Rocky Marciano was supremely confident of victory today as he finished the longest training grind- iu heavyweight championship history. The Brockton Blockbuster, who has been grooming since January, frilt certain he could beat Jersey Joe Walcott again at Chicago Stadium Friday night for three mgjor reasons. "I believe I'm stronger physically than I was when 1 knocked him out in September," he said. “I worked hard at making ' my punches more effective without telegraphing my blows. And I'm convinced Walcott can't hit hard epough to knock me out?’ There was no hint of braggadocio [in the champion's voice or attitude as he analyzed his chances against the 39-year old challenger. The always modest mauler discussed the fight as matter of factly as if it were some business venture he was considering. , u? Walcott Strategy [ CHICAGO. May 12 UP—JerseyJoe Walcott’s strategy for Friday's heavyweight championship bout with titleholder Rocky Marciano probably calls for a "hit and run" battle. Manager Felix Bocchicchio Indicated today. “1 think Rocky figures to coast in on this one," Bocchicchio said, “bbt, he's going to have to tear into Walcott to win.” “He's got to fight to win the fight.” said that Walcott> strategy had been developed long ago. i t “He's done everything we asked him to do,” he said, "and! there are a few things he’s got to do to win. Well, he’s done them in training and he can do them in the fight.” _| He indicated that one of the secret weapons would be a “one-two combination punch" which was used in only one battle previously, “at Cleveland when we beat Jimmy Bivins and Walcott was a one to five underdog.” “We’ll fight him round by round, and I'm lucky to have a fighter who can change his plans from round to lound. There aren’t many that (an do that.” bocchicchio said that should Walcott Jose the battle, “he’ll quit ” “I asked him to quit after the last one,” he said. “I’ve got It fixed where he’ll have SSOO a week for the rest of his life. One way or another, no matter what happens 0 me, he'll always have that much?’ . " ' f If you have something to sell or rooms for rent, try a Democrat Want Ad; It brings results. \

Player Deals Are Expected By Deadline NEW YORK UP — A flurry of I minor deals iwaa expected during the next 24 hoars as the big league (baseball clubs strive to reduce their rosters to the 25-man player limit by midnight Wednesday. The New' York Yankees and Brooklyn podgers beth indicated that they may close deals, but there appeared to be no transaction of major proportions in the Wind. The outfit most qkely to make a sizeable profit was the i telephone company, as the 16 general attempt to close the last minute deals! I A total of 23 players must be lapped off the rosters — eight in the National League and 15 in the American League. Three clubs in eac*h league r— the Cubs , and Braves In the National and the tlndlans, Tigers: and White Sox A in the Acnerlcan — already are down .to or under the limit. The Yankees, needing to cut four players, are in a -strong ipositiop to swing a deal and a cl mJ) spokesman admitted *we might have something-'to announce .before Wednesday night.” The world champions still have 31 players, including 12 pitchers and nine infielders. They will be ipermitted to carry 27 players because pitcher Whitey Ford and ’ outfielder Art Schult are returning servicemen. The Dodgers, needihg to cut one iplayer off their 28-man roster, were ready to talk (business with the Chicago Cubs, who have gotten off to a dismal start and seem to be eager to make a deal. The rub, however, is that the Dodgers persist in talking about Warren Hacker and k Bol|,.lßush and the Cubs do not want to give up either of their star p|t<?hers. r In the National League, the Pitfsibungh Pirate® must cut two players off their 30-player roster, tho New York Giants must lop three off a 29-man roster and the St. : Louis Cardinals and Cincinnati Reds must reduce by one player. General (Manager Branch Rickey : said he was undecided on his cuts. The most likely Giants to hear the l>ad news are pitchers George Spencer and Reuben Gomez and first baseman Tookie Gilbert. The Cardinals were exq>ected to cut a pitcher -while the Reds were ex- , bected to cut one oif their four catchers. In the American League, the -Boston Pox were expected to. cut pitcherg,[Bennett Flowers and I Freejnan and catcher Gus gNiarhos to reach a 25-man limit. s-jiThe Philadelphia Athletics/ and Senators also must cut /three players each while |hfe St. Brown# must reduce their 30-man roster by two plavers.
