two. The two runs of him came
in the eighth inning, by which
time the Terps had a 40 lead.
Maryland's big inning was the
sixth when three runs were pro-
|duced. Catcher Don Baranick's
single with the bases loaded was
the big producer. His single in

yielded two runs, both tainted,

Harris pitching plans still are
up in the air. He says he'd pre-
fer to keep only nine pitchers after
May Is, when major league teams
must trim to IS players. This
would pave the way for the club
to acquire sorely needed right
handed pinch-hitterS.
The Mats now have IA pitchers,

quisition Of Newsom. Some of

Should Newsom return to the
Mats, he'll join Bob Feller as the

Mexican Pride 10 Spur
SaEas in Title Fight
With Carter Tonight
BY the Associated Press

LOS ANGELES, April 1T
want to win this one for Mexico, -
says Lauro Salas, a determined
little challenger who climbs into
the ring tonight trying to upset
Jimmy Carter of New York, the
lightweight champion.
He feels he has a real chance
Of becoming the first native of
Mexico to capture an undisputed
world boxing title. Lauro, who
lives here, came to the United
States in 1947 from Monterrey.
He still helps support his family
there.
Although fistic followers don't
give 24-year-old Lauro much
chance to dethrone Carter, a
heavier puncher though four years
his elder, they figure Salas will
put up good scrap. Most re-
member he was about I'll under
deg against then Bantamweight
Champion Manuel Ortiz a couple
years ago and trimmed the titlist
in an overweight match.
Neither Ever Counted Out.
Neither Lauro nor the sharp
hitting, 135-pound champion has
ever been counted out, so TO-
nights battle at the Olympic
Auditorium may well go the Is
round limit.
There will be no radio or tele-
vision.
"I'm in the best shape ever"
says Salas. the California feath-
erweight king who has done most
Of his scrapping among the 1876
Founders.
! Both boxers showed well in their
final workouts for the champion
ship go. Carter Figures he fights
himself in shape and already has
won three 1852 nontitle bouts. His
only previous defense Of the cham
pionship he took with a 14th-
round knockout over Ike Williams
last May was in beating Art Ara
gon here November IA.
The champions ring record
lists 81 knockouts, "a decisions,
IL defeats and six draws. Salas
has won Is by knockouts, 26 by
decision, lost 19 with six draws.

AT Mikan Knife Incident

was amazed" at reports that a
knife was thrown at George
Mikan, the Minneapolis Lakers'
big scorer, during Sunday nights

Harrison seemed inclined to take
the report, made by the Lakers
lightly. Rochester people Just
don't throw little things like
knives. More likely it was double
edged woodsmanS AK"
Janitors at the arena said they
couldn't find any knife after the
game.
The claim that Mikan was the
target for the knife was made by
Max Winter, the Lakers' general
manager. He said it had two open
blades and missed Mikan by about
212 feet as Mikan was walking
to the bench after fouling out.
