Top Heavyweights To Battle Tonight SAN FRANCISCO (UP) — Eddie Machen and Zora Folley, who are rated one-two among the nation's heavyweight challengers, square off tonight in a 12-round bout at the Cow Palace which may or ; may not lead to a title shot with i world champion Floyd Patterson. The undefeated, left-hooking Machen has been posted a 12-5 favori ite to roll to his 25th win since he started fighting for money three years ago. The bout will be nationally televised (10 p.m. e.s.t — ABC) but blacked out in a 300-mile radius around the ring. Both camps agreed that who- , ever wins has earned a championship match with Floyd Patterson. Not so Custer D’Amato, manager of the fast-hitting Patterson, who is at war with the IBC and won’t let his boy mix with fighters from the Jim Norris organization. Machen, of Redding, Calif., whose high guard and crisp punches have become a hallmark on the family TV set, has stopped 16 of 24 opponents. . Folley, who fights out of Chandler, Ariz., owns a record of 39 wins, two defeats and one draw. He now is on a string of 18 straight victories. 1 : ~ .........u.

Outfield Stars Os Dodgers And Braves Injured By TIM MORIARTY United Press Sports Writer j The Milwaukee Braves and the , Los Angeles Dodgers today faced j the possibility of opening the 1958 . season without star outfielders , Wes Covington and Duke Snider. Covington twisted his left knee ’ in an exhibition game Against the . Dodgers at Austin; Tex., Tuesday . and may miss next Tuesday’s , opener against the Pittsburgh Pirates. He was sliding home on the . business end of a squeeze play in . the 13th inning that gave the i Braves a 5-4 victory. Snider's trouble also is centered . in the left knee, which was oper- . ated on last December. There has been some swelling in the knee ■ this spring and Duke told one re- , porter Tuesday “I think it'll have ; to be drained.” May Not Need Draining However, he later declared “There may not be any need for > that (draining)’’ and added he ; “will try to play” in today's game I against the Braves at Dallas. The veteran center fielder has . appeared in only 13 games this i spring and has been unable to play more than two days in suc-< I cession, all of which would indicate his knee still is unable to withstand sustained pressure without developing some soreness. The San Francisco Giants, meanwhile, received good news when X-rays revealed Willie Mays f suffered only a mild hemotoma > (bruise) just above the elbow t when struck by a pitched ball in Monday’s game agajpst the Clevet land Indians at Austin. , Mays sat out Tuesday’s game at Corpus; Christi, in which the . Indians rolled to an 11-7 victory , over the Giants, but will be back in center field for the season t Opener. Yanks, Cards Defeated In other Tuesday exhibitions, the Phillies edged the Yankees, 3-2; the White Sox turned back the Cardinals, 5-4; the Senators ' rolled to a 10-3 victory over the 7 Redlegs, "and the Cubs downed the Orioles, 6-5, on Dale Long’s 10th inning clutch singleAt Mexico City, in the first appearance of a big league team • there in 20 years, more than 25,- ' 000 fans saw the Pittsburgh PiI rates lose to Mexico City of the : Mexican League, 5-3. Pancho Ramirez pitched the route for the minor leaguers and missed a shut- - out in the ninth inning when DanI ny Kravitz hit a three-run homer.

Baseball Experts Pick Braves, Yanks NEW YORK (UP)— It’U be the Yankees and Braves in the World Series again this year — and this time the Yankees will bring back baseball’s world championship to New York. That is the overwhelming concensus of a committee of 50 of , the nation's top baseball experts, I who participated in the United l Press’ annual survey. All 50 ex- ; perts spent the last six weeks in spring training camps. Here’s the way the writers . viewed the forthcoming season: —49 of the 50 picked the Yani kees to win the American League . pennant. —45 of the 50 picked the Braves i to win the National League pen- . nant. —29 of the 50 picked the Yanl kees to beat the Braves in the Scirics The Yankees’ 49 first-place i votes and one second-place vote gave them 399 of a possible 400 . points. The Braves had five sec-ond-place votes to go with 45 firstplace ballots for a total of 395 I points. Trailing the Yankees, in order, . were the White Sox (332 points), Tigers (297), Red Sox (256), Indians (189), Orioles (174), Athletics (98) and Senators (55)Trailing the Braves, in order, , were the Cardinals (326), Dodgers ( (296), Redlegs (267), Phillies' (183), Giants (160), Pirates (100) and Cubs (73). Cleveland Indians Buy Right-hander CLEVELAND, Ohio (IP) — T h e Cleveland Indians bought righthander Steve Ridzik Tuesday from the Phoenix club of the Pacific Coast League in an effort to improve the pitching staff that has been disappointing during spring training.

Chicago Cubs Feel Outfield Troubles Solved MESA, Ariz. (UP) — It took a long time, but Manager Bob Scheffing finally feels the Chicago Cubs have put together a genuine major league outfield. The Cubs’ outfield was a constant source of jokes around the rest of the National League last year. Scheffing tried any number of different combinations but couldn’t find two dependable flychasers to flank hard-hitting Walt (Moose) Moryn. “Our biggest need was a good center fielder.” says the Cubs’ Manager, “and we get the man we were looking for when we obtained Bobby Thomson from the Giants last week.” 'Hiomson now is set in center; Moryn, who patroled right field last year, looks far better suited in left, and Chuck Tanner and Lee Walls are conducting a spirited battle for the right field job. No one is more determined to make good than Tanner, acquired from the Braves last spring for the waiver price. Tanner was rocking along at a .321 pace this spring before he was struck in the mouth by his own foul ball. Six stitches .were taken in the lower lip and he probably will lose five teeth which were damaged But the next day Tanner was back at the ball park, telling Scheffing in an almost whispered mumble: “I’ll be back in there in a day or two. I’m all right.” Moryn is doing a fine defensive job in left and his arm, strong but not exceptional, is better adapted to the shorter throw. He's happy about the switch. Celtics And Hawks To Battle Tonight BOSTON (IP) — The B b s t o n Celtics will rely on veterans Jack Nichols and Arnie Risen tonight as they seek to break a 2-2 deadlock in their National Basketball Association championship playoffs with the St. Louis Hawks. The 6-7 Nichols, playing his ninth season, and the 6-9 Rison, in his 13th pro campaign, will be filling the skyscraper slot left vacant by Bill Russell, who is out for the rest of the playoffs with a sprained ankle. Red Sox Catcher Undergoes Surgery BOSTON (IP) — Red Sox catcher Haywood Sullivan, who tried for years to win a starting berth, faces surgery on a ruptured spinal disk today. Sox officials said he will probably bo lost for the season. A spokesman at New England Baptist Hospital said the 28-year-old Sullivan would be in the hospial “at least three weeks” and then wear a brace for an indefirtite period.

Says Money Policies To Blame For Slump Truman Puts Blame On Ike's Policies WASHINGTON (UP)—Assistant House Republican Leader Leslie C. Arends (Ill.) predicted today a Democratic decision to get Harry Truman's testimony next week on how to halt the recession will “boomerang.'' Arends indicated Republicans will seize the opportunity to ask Truman about a statement attributed to him in 1950 that unemploymen of three to five million is supportable. The Democratic ex - President further tempted GOP crossfire Tuesday night by telling* newsmen in New Haven, Conn., he would “be doing something’’ about the recession and not "sitting still or playing golf” if he were ba&k in office He blamed the current slump on the Eisenhower administration’s money policies. Chairman Brent Spence (D-Ky.) announced Tuesday the former President will be the leadoff witness Monday when the House Banking Committee launches five weeks of hearings on unemployment. Ten governors will give their views. Spence said Truman showed “a great capacity for decision and for leadership in time of crisis” and his advice would be “particularly helpful in view of the indecision being manifested by the present administration.” Arends retorted the move was “nothing more nor less than political dramatics for Democrat propaganda purposes." He forecast it would “prove to be a political boomerang” against the Democrats. Stale Traffic Toll Below 1957 Figures Runs Eight Per Cent Under 1957 Figures INDIANAPOLIS (IP — Indiana's 1958 traffic death toll continued today to run about eight per cent below the 1957 toll. Indiana State Police provisional figures for the period ending last Sunday midnight showed 217 fatalities, compared with 236 at the same time last year. The toll was increased by 17 last week, compared with 19 in the corresponding week of 1957. Supt Harold Zeis said driver violations were “evident” in each of the fatal accidents last week. “Speeding, failure to grant riglof way, disregarding stop signs and improper passing contributed to the loss of life,” Zeis said. The decrease in deaths from last year was reflected largely in the city and town toll. While rural fatalities were running about the same as last year, urban fatalities totaled 42 compared with 59 a year ago.

Montreal Wins in Opener Os Hockey Finals MONTREAL (UP) — Montreal coach Toe Blake today tabbed goalie Jacques Plante as the “key man” in the Canadiens’ 2-1 victory over the Boston Bruins in the opening game of the Stanley Cup finals, but the Bruins talked bitterly of Doug Harvey and his third-period “dive.” There were heroes aplenty for the Canadiens in this win, the 10th straight time that Boston had failed to win a cup playoff game in this city. There was Bernie (Boom Boom) Geoffrion who scored the game’s first goal in the first period on a long screened shot from the point with the Bruins a man short. And, after Boston's Allan Stanley tied the score in the second period with a similar shot, there was Dickie Moore who scored the winning goal on the payoff end of a picture play into an open net with Boston once again shorthanded. But Blake insisted, “Plante was the key man for us. Since the beginning of the series with Detroit he has been terrific. . .a real money player.” Another “real money player” was defenseman Harvey, who was voted the “outstanding player’* of the game. The Canadiens were shorthanded with Henri Richard off for holding at 16:47 and the Bruins were pressuring Plante when Harvey and Boston’s Fleming Mac- ■
