Minnesota forestry officials warned hunters on the opening day of the deer season that the fire hazard is great and asked them to be careful with campfires. The dry woods were expected to handicap hunters by making quiet tracking difficult. \

Kid Gavilan Whips Bratton To Keep Title CHICAGO UP — Welterweight champion Kid Gavilan. the most impressive of his career in his i eventh title defense Friday night, was headed foday for an eighth defense against Carmen Basilio of Syracuse, N.Y., in January or February. The amazing Cuban Keed, who gave Chicago’s Johnny Bratton a butcher-shop beating before a sellout crowd of 19,260 in the Stadium, plans two more title defenses before shooting for the middleweight crown, probably in May. Secretary Truman Gibson of the international boxing club said to day. “There is no possibility of Gavilan’s challenging middleweight champion Bobo Olson before May. Gavilan told me that, himself, this morning. He wants two- more welterweight title fights.” Gibson said Gavilan believed he could make more money ijn two welter title fights than in one middleweight championship bout, and “He needs the money because hlw wife is going to haye another baby.’’ Gavilan suggested Basilio as bis next challenger because the Syracuse scrapper floored the Cuban champ and gave him such a close title fight at Syracuse on Sept. IR. that Gavilan had to be content with a split decision. “Now I feex him good- next time,” said the 27-year old champ who almost “nioidered” 26-year old Bratton in the third fight Friday night and caused the jammed fans to scream “Stop it! Stop it!” during many rounds in the last half of the bout. Bratton, game as they come, finished the bout with both eyes closed and had to be half-led to his dressing room. He had a badly swollen nose and a slight cut in his right brow. Bratton suffered such a merciless beating that Referee Frank Gilmer was visibly tempted to stop it again and again; but every tim* 1 he appeared ready to step in, Bratton would throw a few punches. Gavilan went into the ring favored at 11-5 despite rumors' he was beginning to be “washed up,’’ because of poor September showing against Basiiia and because of rumors he was having trouble paring down to the 147pound limit.
