Big Gate Due tonight
For Chuck Davey Bout
BY the Asseeicisd Press

FORT WAYNE, Ind, June :.
"A gate Of at least $4,000 was
expected for Chuck Davey's 10
round fight with Sammy Mas
tream tonight on another climb
toward a welterweight title bout.
The Fort Wayne Athletic
Commission reported a near SELL
out of the 1876 seats in the
new Allen County Memorial Col
iseum for Fort Wayne's first
professional boxing show in six
years.
It will be Davey's second bout
since he lost q title fight against
Kid Gavilan in Chicago last
February by q TKO in the 10th
round. A victory would put
Davey in position to tackle Billy
Graham, top contender for the
welterweight crown.
Two other former Michigan
State fighters will precede Davey
in preliminaries. Chuck Speiser,
former Olympic light-heavy-
weight team member. will meet
Sonny Wilcox, Toledo. in the
eight-round semi-windup. Jed
Black. another ex-Spartan on
the card. was once an NCAA
boxing champion, like Davey and
Speiser.
Davey has won 80 of his Al
fights. The Pittsburgh slugger
he meets has a 59-15 record.
The fight will be broadcast

Smith Slight Choice
Over Jimmy Cooper

The long-awaited return match

featherweights, finally goes on
tonight at Turner's Arena.
This will be O replay Of q
match first held nearly two years
ago. in July, 1851. when Cooper
took q bad beating in a rather
wild affair. There was no excuse
for a rematch, right after that
fight. but now there is. Cooper
has been getting better in recent
outings. while Smith seems to
have slipped. and tonight's bout
gives no indication Of being one
sided.
Smith. a bit younger and with
more experience against a some-

punching power he showed a year
or two ago hasn't been in evi-
dence recently, though. while
Cooper. q steadier workman now,
has shown signs Of getting
stronger.
Seeks to Regain Prestige.
Little Gene needs this one to
regain some of his prestige.
Right now he isn't in demand
for television appearances. large
ly because he lost a split deci-
sion to Corky Gonzales the last
time out. Thus he needs to prove
he's still the best featherweight
in Washington in order to earn
more network appearances and
the $4,000 and upward that goes
with same.
That Smith lost to Gonzales
in his last fight doesn't mean
he's really slipped. Before that
in his 1853 fights he beat Bobby
England and Al Maglieri by
knockouts and Filberto Osario
by decision.
Cooper also has beaten OSario
this year. taking q six-round
split decision. In his other bouts
he stopped Nat Divers and
Charles Diggs in one round each

Yanks Face Chicago
Hoping 10 Turn Flag
Race Into a Breeze
BY the ASsocioted Press

Well-rested and supremely
confident, the New York Yankees
open their second invasion OF
the West with a game at Chi
cago tonight, hoping to blast
the talk that the White Sox can
Outright them.
Casey Stengel's crew, four and
a half games out front of Cleve-
land and the White Sox, have
rolled up IA victories in the last
18 games. They are in a spot
to turn the race into a rout If
they can take their series with
the only two clubs that look
anything like real contenders.
The Yankees are setting a I'll
pace and if they can maintain
it, they will top any other Yam
kee team in history except the
1927 outfit which won 10 games
and finished at ia.
Pitching in Good Shape.
Thanks largely to the strong
arm of Johnny Sain and the eff
fective work of Ed Lopat and
Whitley Ford, the New York
pitching staff is in top condition
Meanwhile, most of the hitters
have streaks going. Mickey Man.
tel, Billy Martin, Hank Bauer
and Gene Woodling all have
connected in the last six games
All outfielders except Bauer are
over 800, and Bauer is hitting
.299. The club is leading the
league in hitting.
On the other hand, Chicago
has pitching problems. Mana
ger Paul Richards has switched
hurlers Ill time in A games
Tonight he will start Mike For
nieles against Lopat.
The statistics make the out
look gloomy for the White Sox
until you remember that they
have beaten the Yankees four
times in five games this season.

The skidding Red Sox play in
Cleveland tonight. Manager Lou
Boudreau says fatty that he
plans to talk trade with every
club he visits on the road trip.
Boudreau said he recentl.-
talked with Manager Marty
Marion of the Browns about
getting hard-hitting Vic Wertz,
but nothing came of it. Boudreau
said he'd also consider taking
back Don Lenhardt-former Red
Sox outf1elder now with the
Browns.
Bill Veeck blocked our try to
get Wertz," he added. HE said
he spent a lot of money in get
ting Vic from Detroit and wasn't
yet ready to get rid Of him. I
don't know whether he's changed
his mind this trip, but I'll be
willing to- listen if he starts

Mats Try 10 Extend
Three-Game Streak
| In St. Louis Series
BY Burton Hawkins
Sior Staff Correspondent

ST. LOUIS, June 2.-Strong-
armed Bob Porterfleld, who loves
work. will pitch for the third
time in six days when he opens
a three-game series with the
Browns tonight. seeking his
seventh victory for the Mats.
Slow-starting Bob, who dropped
his first three starts and then
braced to win five straight, had
his streak snapped in New York
last Thursday and was belted
out by the Yankees in the sixth
inning. He worked three innings
in relief in Sundays first game
in Boston and emerged winner.
Then. without instruction by
Manager Bucky Harris, he went
to the bullpen in the second
game in the event he was needed.
Bob might see more action
in relief" Harris said. HE
doesn't figure to lose his effec-
tiveness if he pitches a few in
nings in relief once in a while
instead of throwing batting prac-
tice. OF course, anytime use
him as a relief pitcher we'll be
tied or trying to hang on to a
lead. I'm not going to waste
him."
Busiest Man on Staff.
That system is agreeable with
Porterf1eld. who will have
pitched Is more innings than
his next busiest teammate if he
remains the distance tonight.
Johnny Schmitz and Walter
Masterson will pitch other night
games here and Harris expects
the Browns to counter with Dick
Littlef1eld, Duane Pillette and
Virgil Trucks.
A victim of seven shutouts last
season, Porterfield has received
considerable batting support this
year. While Bob has been on the
mound the Mats have scored SO
runs, with the pitcher himself
accounting for seven of them
with a pair of home runs.
Bob already has posted three
shutouts among the Mats
league-leading total of seven,
but he faces no soft touch in
the perked up Browns, who have
won six of their last seven
games. compiling So runs in the
process.
Porterfield will be trying to
extend Washington's winning
streak to four games and cement
its f1rst-division status. The
Mats will play 13 games in the
West and hope to reduce the
612-game gap between them and
the front-running Yankees.
Vollmer May Get Competition.
A squirt by Jim Busby, Mickey
Vernon and Jackie Jensen would
give the club other strong con-
tenders for the league lead in
runs batted in now held by Clyde
Vollmer with 33. He's followed
by Walt Dropo with 80, AL Rosen
with 80 and Mickey Mantle and
Bob Elliott with 81, but Busby,
Vernon and Jensen have moved
into threatening spots.
Busby, 1888 hitter since Har-
ris altered his batting stance
five weeks ago, is leading the
club with five home runs and is
batting .306. He has slammed
across Is runs. while Vernon and
Jensen have batted in "a each.
Jensen could get hot at any
moment" Harris said. HE
hasn't been hitting like he can.
I don't know what's wrong, but
he's a better hitter than he's
shown. If he hits his stride
We'll be lot tougher"

East Cleveland's new street
markings for traffic on Euclid
ave. has helped considerably in
controlling vehicular movements
on the busy thoroughfare.
In the picture above, the inter-
section of Euclid and Colt is shown
with directional arrows serving as
guides in three separate lanes. The
truck is standing in a left turn
lane clearly marked making it
easy for motorist to pick their
lanes. The other autos are in line
for continuing eastward.
Comments on the new traffic
markings have been very favorable
especially from envious out of
towners who marvel at the way a
few dabs of paint make the big
difference in traffic control.
Of course, there's always the
smart driver who completely ig-
nores the clear markings and in
variably causes confusion. How
ever, East Cleveland Police have
been on alert for these miscues and
one stop is enough to convince the
wanderers that it pays to stay in
the right lane.
