Clayton Is Favorite
Over Lloyd in Turner
S-Rounder Tomorrow

Lightweight Marshall Clayton
is favored to keep his winning
string going tomorrow night when
he faces Bobby Lloyd in one of
the co-feature boxing matches
closing out the indoor season at
Turner's Arena.
The hard-hitting Clayton, ris-
ing to popularity here, in his last
match put on one of the best
shows seen this season at the w
street plant while betting out
Tommy Sheppard. It was his
ninth pro victory since he fin
ished his amateur career by win
ming the Army World champion
ship. He's showing steady i'm
provement in each fight, both as
a boxer and puncher.
Lloyd, who is managed by Chris
Dundee, has more experience, and
although only 10 years old has
had 81 pro fights. Willie Thomas,
Bobby Bell and Ronnie Harper
are among those he's beaten.
The Marshall-Lloyd fight is an
eight-rounder and shares top bill
ing with a Seven-rounder between
Gene Smith of Washington and
Aponte Torres of Puerto Rico,
featherweights. Smith is the lit
tie puncher who also has won
nine bouts. seven by knockouts.
Most of his kayoes have been in
either the first or second round.
Last Monday night he chilled
Danny Dancosse in the second
round. Torres, veteran of about
100 ring matches. figures as a
good test.
The semifeature is a five
rounder between Chuck Goldsby,
New York. and Jimmy O'Brien,
Baltimore. middleweights. Also
booked are three four FOUNDERS:
Kenny Leach against Frank Ball,
lightweights; Johnny Shields
against Kid Rock. light heavy
weights, and Joe Davis against
Jimmy Sewell, welters. First
fight is at 8:45 pm.

Boudreau of Cleveland.
The opening series between the
SoX and the Yankees at Boston
might tell great deal. Last year
the SoX got away to a miserable
start on the road and were far
behind the pace before they began

beatable in their own Fenway
Park.
This time McCarthy's sluggers
play % of their first 80 games at

fence. If they get away to a run

pile up an early lead they will be
hard to head off.
Even though Joe Dimaggio is
ready to 60 for a change. the
Yanks are not happy. The world
champions failed in their winter

Stengel another starting pitcher.
