LOUIS (UPD—Fiery Bill Daly threatens to jump into the ring tonight and stop the welterweight tile fight between Vince Martinez and Virgil Akins if Vrgil uses rabbit and kidney punches. , Daly, manager of underdog Martinez, declared today, “You’ll see a real rhubarb there tonight if Akins uses those illegal punches. I’ll stop the fight, even though it's on television. And you know I’m a man of my word.’’ Martinez, of Patterson, N.J-, and Akins of St. Louis are scheduled to fight 15 rounds at the arena for the vacant welterweight crown. A crowd of 10.000 and a gate of $65,000 are expected. Akins, an aggressive Negro boxer-puncher, is favored at 2-1 over the handsome, black-haired but somewhat timid boxer-punch-er from the East, They are the survivors of a sixman tournament announced last November to produce a successor t to Carmen Basilio. Carmen automatically relinquished the 147pound title when he won the middleweight championship from Sugar Ray Robinson in September. Virgil, cockily confident of becoming the first St. Louis-born world champion in boxing history, has predicted a knockout over Martinez “within three rounds.’’ New Jersey Vince restricted his forecast to a win "by decision or by a knockout if the opportunity occurs."' Aside from kidney and rabbit punches, the big question of the fight is whether Martinez will change his style and become aggressive tonight—inspired by the title chance, —U. — .

Defroil Calls Up ~ First Negro Player DETROIT (UPD — The first Negro, ever to wear a Detroit Tiger uniform will trot out onto the field in Washington tonight for the Tigers’ game against the Senators. Osvaldo (Ossie) Virgil, a 25-year-old third baseman, was called up from the Tigers’ Charleston farm club Thursday. Virgil was batting .292 and leading the American Association with 34 runs batted in when the summons came. The arrival of Virgil, who will replace the slumping Reno Bertoia at third base tonight, makes the Boston Red Sox the only major league club without at least one Negro on its roster. T Born in the Dominican Republic but educated in New York, Virgil batted a meager .235 for the Giants when they were in New York last year but'he hopes he can do better for Detroit. “I know my average with the Giants wasn't too hot. But that was last year,” he said. The Tigers have 18 other Negro ball players on minor league farm clubs and General Manager Johnny McHale denied pressure by local Negro groups had anything to do with calling up Virgil- “ We’re in seventh place. We need help at third. Virgil is the best third baseman in our system. It’s as simple as that.” McHale said. McHale also brought 29-year-old right-hander Herb Moford up from Charleston and sent third baseman - outfielder Lou Skizas and pitcher Bob Shaw to Charleston to make room for the arrivals. Moford has won 6 and lost none and put together an earned run average of only 0.98 per game this season. Detroit got Virgil and first baseman Gail Harris from the Giants last winter in exchange for jiiflelder Jim Finigan and cash.

Terry Tosses Athletics To Brilliant Win By JOE SARGIS United Press International Even the Yankee castoffs are making like Yankees this season. Take the cases of Ralph Terry and Wood Held. They were considered throw-ins in the “Billy Martin deal” with the A’s last summer, but if you ask New York manager Casey Stengel he’ll tell you they are two “guys I really hated to give up.” Both deported themselves in typical “Yankee” fashion Thursday night as the Kansas City Athletics defeated the Washington Senators, 2-0, in 13 innings. Terry, a 22-year-old righthander from Big Cabin, Okla., scattered seven hits over those 13 frames and in four different occasions snuffed out Washington rallies. Held provided the two big runs when he rammed a home run into the left field bullpen in Griffith Stadium with Vice Power, another ex-Yankee, aboard. Power opened the 13th inning with a single, moved up to second on Frank House’s sacrifice and rode home on Held's homer. Camilio Pascual, who went all the way for the Senators, was the victim. Gain On Yankees The win moved the secondplace A’s to within seven games of the front-running Yankees in the American League "race.” The Yankees shellacked the Chicago White Sox, 12-5, in the opening game of a doublcheader, but the Sox bounced back to take the nightcap, 3-2, behind the six-hit pitching of Ray Moore. Elsewhere in the AL, the Boston Red Sox came from behind to defeat the Cleveland Indians, 5-3, and Ray Bodne's seventh-inning grand slam homer powered the Detroit Tigers to a 6-3 win over the Baltimore Orioles. In the National League, the San Francisco’ Giants edged the Milwaukee Braves, 5-4, in 12 innings; the Cincinnati Redlegs defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers, 8-4; the Philadelphia Phillies rallied to down the Chicago Cubs, 7-6; and the St. Louis Cardinals shaded the Pittsburgh Pirates, 4-3. The Yankees hammered 15 hits in their opener including a 460foot, inside-the-park home run by Mickey Mantle as perfect game hero Don Larsen gained his fourth victory without a loss. In the nightcap, Moore faced only 27 batters through the first eight innings and then ran into trouble in the ninth. However, he got Harry Simpson on a forccout to end the game and pick up his second win against pne loss. Jackie Jensen’s sacrifice fly accounted for one run and Sammy White’s single through the middle accounted for a second in the eighth inning off reliever Hoyt Wilhelm for the Boston victory. Tigers Were Trailing The Tigers trailed 3-2 in the top of the seventh, but Baltimore starter Billy ODcll gave up successive singles to Billy Martin and Gus Zernial and then put Al Kqline on base intentionally. Boone then cleared the left field fence for his fifth home run and the Orioles never caught up. Orlando Cepeda’s fourth hit of the game off reliever Gene Conley enabled the Giants to climb to within 10 points of the first place Braves in-the NL race. The hit scored Jim Finigan who had doubled and gave Jim Constable his first win. Bob' Purkey got over a shak> start to post his fourth straight win and seventh of the season against only one loss. He helped himself with a home run over the short Los Angeles Coliseum fence Gil Hodges poked a homer for the Dodgers. Carl Erskine, who lasted less than four innings, was the loser. . Harry Anderson’s two-run double and Stan Lopata’s two-run homer featured a phll ® del five-run seventh inning rally tnax gave Ray Semproch his fifth victory, in relief. The Cardinals made a two-run fourth-inning rally stmto up aS Wilmer (Vinegar Bend> M99k.9.,9 picked up his third win against five losses at the expense of the Pirates. Bob Friend was the loser. His record now stands at 8-4. Gene Duffy Heads Two Irish Teams SOUTH BEND, Ind. (UPD — Gene Duffy, a scrappy five-foot six-inch, all-round athlete, today ecame only the third >man Notre Dame history to be named captain in two sports. Durry, of Davenport, lowa, was elected co-captain of the 1959 baseball squad, along with second baseman Dick Selceer of Cincinnati. Duffy is the regular centerfielder on the Irish nine.

Bruton Regaining Old-Time Speed SAN FRANCISCO (UPD— Bill Bruton is off and running again and the Milwaukee Braves' lithe outfielder feels he is on the way toward regaining his old speed. “Os course, to take it easy at the start,” Bruton said before his club left town to start a series tonight in Los Angeles. Then he pointed to a pair of long scars which flanked each side of his right knee. These are the souvenirs of an operation he underwent during the World series to correct torn cartileges. “When I slid into home here the other night I could feel some of the. scar tissue rip loose,” Bruton went on in his matter of fact way, ‘but they say that is the best way to get rid of it." Bill, who led the National League in stolen bases three consecutive seasons, injured the knee last July 11 when he collided with teammate Felix Mantilla while chasing a pop fly. That sidelined him for the rest of the season although he worked out as late as September trying to get back his Centerfield job. Bruton, who at times felt he never would play ball again, got back into the lineup May 25. He stple his first base of the year on June 3 against the Giants. "Actually it was by accident." Bruton said. “I got too far off first base and had to go when the catcher threw there to try and catch me off.” The following day he slid home for a 10-9 victory in the 11th inning over the Giants after going into run for Wes Covington. Bill is an integral part, of Milwaukee. He played there with the old Brewers in 1952 then returned with the Braves the following year after the franchise was shifted from Boston. He viewed last year’s World series victory*' over the Yankees on television from a hospital bed in Oklahoma City, and said he was not surprised by the outcome. "There was a feeling on this club that we could win," he declared “and there still is." Local Firemen To State Convention The waterball team of the Decatur fire department, left this morning for Madison, where they will compete in contests being held there during the Indiana volunteer firemens convention today and Saturday. The team will compete in the waterball contest at 9 a.m., and the hose replacement contest at 2 p.m. Saturday. The team consists of Russ Baumgarter, Maurce Colchin, Dick Girod and Bob Gage.
