Olson Retains Title By Win Over Gavilan CHICAGO. UP — Middleweight champion Carl (Bobo) Olson asked promoter Jim Norris today to "bring on your Joey Giardello as challenger," ’now that formidable Kid Gavilan was disposed of "bad hand or no bad hand.’’ Olson kept his middleweight ti-! tie safe from welterweight chain- ' pion Kid Savilan Friday night on i a majority 15-roupd decision be- i fore a near-capacity crowd of 20,o'4l in Chicago Stadium. But after the fight. 28 year-old Gavilan of Cuba and manager Angel Lopez of New York claimed the Keed had fought with a “sore right hand.” He had bruised it in a February tune-up bout and it had hurt him steadily while training for Olson. Gavilan said. Acting chairman Louis Radzienda of the Illinois athletic commission said, “I don’t know what we can do about the sore hand claims. Two of our doctors examined the hand Friday and found nothing wrong with it. I guess they're just bringing up an alibi.” Gavilan didfavor the right hand during last night’s excellent fight that drew the second largest gross gate in the stadium's history: 1334,320. In addition the sponsor of the national telecast and broadcast paid. SIOO,OOO. The speedy Cuban concentrated on left jabs and left hooks just as he had promised to do while training, and he made the fight so elose that judge Ed Hintz called the bout even and gave each 144 points. However, referee Bernie Weisman favored Olson, 147-141; and judge Bill O’Connell. 147-139. The United Press favored Bobo, 142-140. Olson, richer by about $125,000 cessful defense of the crown and his 13th straight victory, asked Norris for the Giardello fight before flying to his family in San Francisco this morning. He said. “Giardello is my kind of a fighter. He’s fast and more open than Gavilan. It would be a good fight.” Olson, 25 and prematurely balding, said Gavilan hadn’t hurt him during their rousing brawl, but that he had surprised him with his strength, particularly in the closing rounds. Olson, favored at TLS, carried

the fight to Gavilan in every round and took advantage of his own weight advantage and pressing style. Bobo had a comparatively •mall weight-pull of 4ty pounds. He scaled 169$ to Gavilan's surprisingly heavy 155. There were no knockdowns, but Gavilan suffered a gashed right brow in the ninth round. It trickled blood down onto his white silk television trunks for the remainder of the bout. The Cuban hawk insisted Olson had not hurt him at any time. He thought he deserved the decision but he did not complain much about It. He congratulated Olson in mii-ring when the verdict was announced.

Mickey Owen Appears Sure Os Bosox Job By UNITED PRESS Ancient Mickey Owen, famed for missing a third strike in the 1941 World Series, looked like a sure thing not to miss the boat today with the 1954 Boston Red Sox. The 37-year old Owen, who isn’t bven listed on the-Red -Sox roster,• exploded a grand-slam homer in the eighth inning Friday to help Boston humble the Phillies, 8-0, at Montgomery, Ala. “Owen has convinced me that he'll be a big help to our club," said Manager Lou Boudreau. "Not only has he been hitting well, but he also has been handling our young pitchers wonderfully. We’re definitely going to keep him on flie club.” It marks quite a combeack for Owen, who walked into the Red Sox camp unheralded and unexpectedly this spring and asked Boudreau whether he had any room “for an old war-horse.” —Bottdrea trknewOwenha dvienty of mileage on him and that he hadn’t played in the majors in several seasons. He also knew that Owen had missed that famous third strike in the 1941 World Series, giving Tommy Henrich a “life” and enabling the Yankees to come from behind to beat the Dodgers, 7-4. But something about Owen's determined insistence caused Boudreau to take a chance and today the opportunity appears to be paying off. Elsewhere on the exhibition circuit Friday, the Milwaukee Braves crushed the Brooklyn Dodgers. 17-2 at Birmingham, Ala., while pounding Carl (Erskine, Joe Black and Tommy LaSorda for 24 base hits. Joe Adcock, Eddie (Mathews and Jim Pendleton each homered for the Braves as Gene Conley scattered five Dodger hits. Home runs by Luis Marquez, Bill Serena and Ralph Kiner helped the Chicago Cubs to an 8-6 victory over the Baltimore Orioles at Alexandria, La. The victory was the Cubs' first since Stan Hack took over the managership from Phil Caverretta Thursday. — The Giants stretched their spring margin over the Cleveland Indians to 10 games to four by beating the Tribe, {-0 at Fort Worth, Tex. Johnny Antonelli and John (Windy) McCall limited the Indians to seven hits while Davey Williams put the game on ice for the Giants with a three-run homer off Bob Lemon in the fifth inning. The White Sox snapped a three game losing streak by beating Harvey Haddix of the Cardinals, 3-1. at New Orleans. Chico Carrasquel .smashed his second homer in as many days while, teammate Minnie Minoso collected three hits. Billy Pierce and Harry Dorish pitched for the White Sox. It was a gloomy day all around for Cincinnati. The Redlegs’ main squad dropped an 11-inning 7-6 decision to Washington at Greenwood, S. C., while Cincinnati’s Florida contingent was mauled 12-5 by Detroit at Lakeland, Fla. Mickey Vernon of the Senators drove in the winning run with an Uth inning single to cap a three-

Ike Relaxing In Mountain Retreat Spends Weekend At Guarded Hide-away THURMONT, Md„ UP — President Eisenhower relaxed in his secluded Maryland mountain retreat today after,' a quick visit to his Gettysburg. Pa., farm where he eventually hopes to retire. The Chief Executive, spending a quiet*-weekend at Camp David -- ' his carefully guarded hide-away in the Catoctin Mountains — planned to ponder the words he will use in an important speech to the nation Monday night. Mr. Eisenhower drove here from Washington Friday afternoon with his wife, her mother, Mrs. John S. Doud; and two of Mrs. Eisenhower’s close friends, Mrs. George E. Allen and Mrs. Walton Walker, widow of the American Bth army commander who was killed in Korea. They will return to Washington Sunday. There may be additions to the presidential party at Camp David, site of the presidential mountain resort, during the day. Members 6t the -White‘TTouse staff were un--1 willing to say early today Whether these additions would be Monday night speech consultants or Saturday evening bridge partners. The President kept his own counsel about the speech content and no word filtered through the carbinetoting marine sentries around his camp. If there was a close-at-hand crisls facing the nation, it did not show in Mr. Eisenhower’s activities. He and his wife drove up here Friday afternoon. The weather was sunny and pleasant. Instead of turning off at Thurmont to. drive into the mountains to their camp, they continued to their nearby farm at Gettysburg, Pa., to check on’the reconstruction of their 185-year-old farm house..

Some Experts Pick Senators As Darkhorse COLUMBIA, S. C., UP — The, Washington Senators, on paper, don’t figure to cut" much of a ewath in the American League pennant race this year, and that’s all right with manager Bucky Harris. Some baseball experts are picking them as the possible darkhorse in the raee. To that Harris answers: "I like the picture in opr camp.” But he isn’t predicting any pennant. Harris will tell you confidently that he expects to finish in the first division. "1 won't predict which one of those four clubs, (the Yankees. Indians, White Sox or Red Sox) we’ll beat out, but it will be one of them,” he said grimly. Except for his second line pitching. the ball club is set. The infield will see Mickey Vernon at first base; Wayne Terwilliger at second: Pete Runnels at short and Eddie Yost at third. In the outfield it' will be either Roy Sievers or Clyde Vollmer in left, Jim Busby in center and Tom Umphlett in right. It stacks up as one of the best defensive clubs in the league, although neither Sievers nor Vollmer rank with the finest of fielders. Harris isn’t worried on that score. ’ “I think we have a real kid coming up in Angel Scull." he said. “If either Sievers or Vollmer can give us power in'the early innings and help us take the lead, I can always put Scull in for defensive protection." ’ Scull, a speed merchant, batted only .286 at Charleston, W. Va.. last season, but shows developing promise as a hitter. And he can go and get ’em — just like Busby, whom Harris considers the best centerfielder in the league, and Umphlett. , * Like the outfield, the Infield also has speed and fielding finesse. Both Departments are short in power, but big Griffith Stadium is not built for power swingers. The fences are too far away. Defense and speed are more important. But how about those 77 games they have to play on the road, where power is more important? “If you win at home and get that winning complex. I'm sure the road games will take care of themselves,” Harris reasons., Jerry Snyder, who has a chance to oust Runnels at short, and Mel Hoderlein will be the spare infielders with Tom Wright a utility outfielder. Behind the plate it will be Ed Fitz Gerald and Joe Tipton with rookie- Bob Didis, who hit .292 at Chattanooga, ~ the third man. The big five in pitching will be Bob Porterfield, the shutout artist of the majors last year with nine and a22-game winner; Mickey McDermott, who won 18 w’ith the Red Sox; Frank Shea (12-7); Chuck Stobbs (11-8) and Connie Marrero (§-7). Three rookies figure highly in Harris’ pitching plans — Dean Stone, who won only eight at Chattanooga; Bob Ross, a returned serviceman; and Bunky • Stewart, another Chattanooga graduate with a 14-10 record. For relief there will be southpaw Johnny Schmitz (2-7) and Sonny "Dixon (5-8). Two Cubans — righthanders Cainilio Pasquale, who is 20, and Gonzalo Naranjo, who is only 19, also may stick. The eagle is one of the world’s oldest national emblems, used by the Mesopotamian city of Lagash (Telloh) some 5,000 years ago says the National Geographic Society. In America, Benjamin Franklin objected to the bald eagle as a national emblem, asserting that the bird is lazy, a thief, a coward, and a bully. He suggested the wild turkey.
