NEW YORK, May 18.-Kid Cav
ilan. the sleek Cuban hawk, is a
solid 2-to-1 choice to whip Chi
cago's Johnny Bratton tonight in
a 15-round bout for the welter-
weight championship vacated by
Sugar Ray Robinson.
Bratton already holds piece of

March. But New York State

on at 10 pm. (EDT.
(The bout will be broadcast
over Radio Station WMAL in

Winner Must Meet Graham.
The winner must meet New
York's Billy Graham within so
days to get universal recognition.
Later the survivor probably will
have to fight Britain's claimant,
Eddie Thomas.
This shapes up as an interesting
scrap between two furry" fight
ers who try to make friends and
convince judges with spurts of
concerted action. Bratton is the
suffer puncher. but he does not
take a wallop like the iron-jawed
Gavilan.
Gavilan went Is rounds with
Robinson and never hit the deck.
Only Ike Williams has been able
to drop him since he arrived from
Cuba. He got up and beat Will
liams in two out Of three bouts.
A flashy bolo and a rhumba

He can punch with authority but
will find Gavilan a rugged shock

ing happens. Bratton may get dis
couraged. He has gone Is rounds
only once.
Bratton's failure to finish Fusari
when he had him hurt at Chicago
has been held against him. Gavi-
Ian does not punch with Fusari's
sting, but has a record as a per-
sistent, strong battler with plenty
of courage.
The records favor Gavilan, who
has won 70, lost IL and fought
three draws. He never has been
stopped. Bratton, knocked out
twice by Beau Jack and Ike Will
liams, has 43 wins in 81 starts.
He has lost Is and fought two
draws. Of the 43 wins, Is were
knockouts. Gavilan stopped only
20.
Gavilan Wins 8 in a Row.
Gavilan, Is, is on a hot streak
with eight in a row including wins
over Graham, Paddy Young and
Eugene Hairston. Bratton has
been out only once since the

Some of the brides and new
housekeepers that do me the
honor of reading this column have
been asking me to print some
general information on the pur-
chase and preparation of poultry.
When marketing for poultry
specifically, chickens-keep firmly
in mind the exact use to which
you intend to put the bird. For
broiiing, frying or roasting, choose
tender young birds, preferably
under g months old. If you plan
to braise, steam or stew, pick
older birds-usually known as
fowl. A rooster is also called a
baker, depending upon the GUS
tom OF your part of the country
and is usually 5 to 9 months old
and weighs between three and a
half and four pounds. A capon
is an unsexed male, is very large
over four pounds-meaty, and
deliciously tender. Capons are
expensive, and therefore are usec
mostly for dinner party fare.
Things to watch when making
your selection: A smooth soft Skin
with no blemishes is desirable, thu
legs and claws should be short
The breastbone should be flexible
when moved between your thumb
and finger. and the back, breast
and thighs should be nicely

GARD GAMES FOR CHILDREN
From Mrs. J. L. S., Washington
Mrs. ]. S. L., Chevy Chase. The
following are some card games
for and 8 year olds. Fight
or War: Entire deck of cards is
distributed equally among 2, 8
Ior 4 players. Entire hand is kept
face down in a pile in the hand,
on the floor or table, and each
player draws of his top card and
places it face UP, highest card
taking all cards played. When
two players turn up a card of the
same value, a fight or war en-
sues. Only those two players turn
up an additional card and the
higher card takes all cards on
the table. Sometimes in order to
speed up the game If one of the
cards turned up matches one of
the players card which was not
in the original war or fight,
allow those two to draw another
card and that high card takes
the. entire pile of cards on the
table. The object, Of course, is
for one player to acquire the en-
tire deck Of cards and thus the
game can continue almost indef1-
nitely; therefore, sometimes deal
in Slight of hand work when I'm
involved as one of the players
and throw off all of my high
cards to the childs' high ones
and when I'm rid of all my high
ones the game then goes rather
swiftly.
Fish: Best played by 2 players,
although more may play. Each
player is dealt 4 to Z cards. de-
pending upon age of the child and
his ability to handle cards. If any
two cards in the hand match, they
are Immediately removed and
placed aside in book" One
player then asks the opponent
Cor player on his Left for card
which he holds in his own hand.
If the opponent has that card, he
has to surrender it and the player
then has a book which he places
aside and asks for another card.
If the opponent does not have the
card requested. he says Fish"
and the player then draws the top
card of the pack which is placed
face down between them. II he
draws the card for which he
asked, he makes another book
and again requests card. When
he fails to draw the requested
card from the pile he surrenders
his turn to the opponent who
proceeds in the same manner.
This is played somewhat on thel
order of ''Old Maid" or ''Rook," II
believe. I think 4 cards should
make the book, but I found that
too tedious for my s to 8-year-.
Odds and thus made 2 the number
for a book instead. The player
who has the most books when the
cards are all drawn is the winner.
Blackjack or 81: My children
enjoy this game without the
gambling or betting angle. Each
player is dealt a card face down
and one face up. All cards are
counted according to spots, face
cards count 10, and aces count
one or IL. Each player looks at
his face down card and adds it
ito his face up card. If the total
is exactly 81 he doesn't ask for
another card, but if it is far below
that value. he asks for another
card. If the total is more than
FL he loses; otherwise the player
whose cards total the nearest to
