Haiirston Rated
Choice Over
.LaMotta Tonight
But Underdog ToIks
Of Easy Fight, Even
KO in Return Bout
By the Associated Press

DETROIT, May 21.-Jake La
Motta, former middleweight
champion. has been talking about
an easy fight and even a knock
out in his 10-round rematch with
Eugene CThe Silent) Hairston at
Olympia Stadium tonight.
But the 30-year-old Bronx Bull.
who now has an eye on the light
heavyweight title, is rated slight
underdog. Some of the betting
experts have made Hairston a
I6-5 favorite and the 22-year-old
Negro was expected to be at least
an even money choice by fight
time.
The bout will be telecast and
broadcast on national network.
WTOP-TV will telecast the
fight and WTOP will broadcast
it in Washington. starting at
10 pm:)
Fought Controversial Draw.
LaMotta and Hairston fought to
a controversial draw here March
S. For tonight's bout, LaMotta
hopes to weigh 166 pounds, 21a
less than he weighed for the
March encounter. Hairston ex-
poets to come in at 1852, one pound
more than he weighed last time.
Promoter Nick Londes said ad-
vance ticket sales indicated an
even larger crowd than the 10000
turnout for the March engage
ment.
LaMotta hopes eventually to
get a light-heavyweight title en-
counter with joey Maxim. If
Maxim whips Sugar Ray Robinson
in their bout June % in New York.
LaMotta is said to stand a good
chance to get a shot at the title
in September.
Hairston also has ambitions.
The deaf mute now is ranked No.
g in the middleweight division
back of Robinson and Randy Tur-
pin. If Robinson fails in his quest
of the 175-pound title, then Hair
ston is considered Robinson's
probable opponent in the next de-
fenSe Of the middleweight crown.
Hairston Reported Keen.
Hairston has been idle since the
first encounter with LaMotta, but
his manager, Mike Miele, reported
him in sharp condition.
LaMotta has had one fight since
March. He won 10-round deci-
sion over Norman Hayes of Boston
here April g..
Although LaMotta hopes for a
knockout he has scored only one
kayo in the last two years. If it's
a decision, the winner will be de-
termined by a majority of two
judges and the referee on a point
system

Detroit's Not
Worth oHoot
|WthoutEvers
BY the Assoeioied Press

DETROIT, May 21.-Manager
Red Rolfe, who's been getting bad
news in bucketfuls. got some
more today.
Outfielder Hoot Evers, the
Tigers big hope for climbing out
of the American League cellar,
won't be ready to play for some
time. Nobody can guess just how
many days or weeks it will be.
Evers, a lanky, blond right
handed hitter. broke his thumb in
an exhibition game April IL.
Doctors told Rolfe he should be
ready to play in four to six weeks.
It'll be six weeks this Friday.
EverS, who batted 1923 and drove
in 103 runs in 1850 and then
slumped last year, tried to hold
a bat and swing it day before
yesterday. The pain was too
great.
Improved This Spring.
The club, loser of many games
by one-run margins, misses the
speedy centerfielder. His work
this spring showed marked i'm
provement over last summers
.224 average and Rolfe hoped
Hoot would join Vic Wertz and
Johnny Groth as one Of the
leagues best outflelds.
Its hard to say how long Hoot
will be laid up," Trainer Jack
Homel said. It'll probably be
a week and could be two weeks
or more" Jack said the bone
was badly splintered.
Hoot is also the key to the
Tigers difficulties in making a
trade.
Sure. We can't do much about
trading as long as Hoot is out of
the lineup" General Manager
Charlie Gehringer said.
I'VE don't know how much he
will be available to us. We'd like
to know because that will affect
our needs in trading. Evers can't
f1gure in any of our trade talks
because no clubs want to take a
chance on him until he's recov-
cred and they see how he's play
ing"
Most Of Team Available.
Gehringer has already indicated
that all the Tigers except Third
Baseman George Kell and some
OF the pitchers are available in
the trade market. That's how
much the Tigers need help.
If Evers doesn't recover soon.
ne won't get much chance to show
other clubs his worth before the
trading deadline. June is.
The Tigers would like to ac-
quire a hard-hitting first base
man. such as Ferris Fain of the
Athletics, or a shortstop.
AS for the Tigers chances of
getting Fain, Manager Jimmy
Dykes laughed. mo chance. I'm
standing pat with my first base
man." Dykes said before yester-
days game between the AS and
Tigers was rained out here.

|Morrero's S Four-Hit Shutout
|Gives Cuban 40 Record
By Burton Hawkins
StaF Stoff Correspondent

ST. LOUIS. May 21.-Connie
Marrero. the gay, plump Cuban
who once a week lays aside his
sizeable stogie to pitch for the
Mats, keeps his team rolling with
performances. The
sawed-of right-hander has start
ed five times this season and each
time has produced an excellent
effort.
Marrero had a 40 record today
as the result of stopping the
Browns, 20, on four hits here
last night. He put it up to Sid
Hudson to beat st. Louis for the
fifth straight time tonight when
the slender veteran takes the
mound against Earl Harrist, a
former Nat.
Marrero seldom opens his mouth
except for witticisms and to chomp
down on a cigar. but his pitching
record speaks eloquently for him.
He has a 1.62 earned run average
after permitting only eight earned
runs in As innings.
Whipped Yanks on Eight Hits.
Connie allowed the Yankees
EIGHT hits in whipping them, 81.
He defeated the Tigers, 4-3, on a
flve-hitter and So on a Six-hitter
He Travelled nine innings in a futile
effort against the White Sox, lin
Iiting them to six hits before being
lifted for Q pinch-hitter in the
ninth inning of a game ultimately
lost by Bobo Newsom.
He notched the Mats third shut
out, joining Bob Porterfield and
Frank Shea, and he dealt the
Browns a fourth successive defeat
by the Mats. Thus, Washington
moved within two games of
league-leading Cleveland, rained
out of an engagement with the
Red Sox.
Marrero doesn't invite trouble
through wildness. With the ex-
ception of his first start, when he
walked five, he has been a master
of control. In his last four games
he has walked only eight and
never more than three a game
Browns Threaten in Eighth.
He was in difficulty only once
last night. The Browns didn't
get a runner past first base until
the eighth inning, when they gave
Marrero his only anxious moments.
Clint Courtney singled and, after
Dick Kryhoski popped out, Tommy
Byrne also singled, Courtney halt
ing at second.
They advanced when Marrero
tossed out Bobby Young and the
threat died when Marty Marion
lifted an easy fly to Jim Busby in
center. Marrero set down the
Browns, 1928, in the ninth. Con-
ME struck out eight.
