Shot at Maxim Due
For Patterson Barrinq
Turner Upset Tonight
BY the Associoted Press

NEW YORK, May 1O.-Floyd
Patterson, the wonder boy of
the 1852 Olympic boxing team,
may be heading into deep wa
ter if he gets past Jesse Turner
tonight at Brooklyn's Eastern
Parkway Arena.
(Tonight's bout will be tele-
vised in Washington over WTTG,
Channel 5, beginning at 10 p.m.)
Joey Maxim, the clever ex-
champion with the talented left
hand, is being talked up as
Patterson's next opponent with
a tentative June Z date. Joey
is head and shoulders above the
type of boys Patterson has been
knocking over in IL pro starts.
Turner, actually a middle
weight, lost a decision to Eduardo
Lausse, the Argentine, in a scrap
a few weeks ago. He weighed
159 that night. Patterson
weighed 167 when he outpointed
Alvin Williams, April 10. He is
having a little trouble building
up to the 175-pound class.
With the Patterson Turner
match, the Parkway ends its
telvision contract with DuMont,
switching to ABC next Monday
with an Orlando Zulueta-Percy
Bassett match.
Program for the remainder of
the week:
Wednesday: - Heavyweights
Coley Wallace, New York, and
Bill Gillian, Newark, N. j., 10

Senator'S Planning
Full Trial for 0Idis;
Marrero Promoted
BY Burton Hawkins
S.or Stoff Correspondent

DETROIT, May 10.-Bob Oh
dis, a loose-jointed catcher
whose activity with the Senators
has been limited mainly to bat
ting practice and bullpen duties,
will be a more important figure
in the future plans of Manager
Bucky Harris.
II don't know how much he'll
hit" Harris said today as the
Senators loafed prior to opening
a two-game series with the sur
prising Tigers tomorrow, "but I
do know that Oldis isn't going
to make us look bad. The boy
is quite a catcher.
I'm fact" Harris continued,
hes the best I've ever seen at
digging balls out of the dirt.
He's like a first baseman in that
respect. He handles pitchers well
and he's got some fire. He likes
to play and he likes to win.
There will be times when his
throwing will be scattery," Bucky
said, because part of his index
finger is missing, but I think
he'll get by all right. AS I say,
I don't know if he'll hit, but he's
going to get a chance to show
what he can do"
Even Record in Minors.
Bob, who is IS, has been a .28O
hitter regardless of the minor
league classification in which he
has performed. In successive
seasons he batted .289 with Glass
D Emporia, Va, .285' with Glass
B Charlotte. and PIT with Chat
tanooga of the AA Southern AS
ISOLATION.
OldiS missed most of last sea-
son with the Lookouts, suffering
a fractured thumb only a few
days after being sent down by
the Senators. He's handicapped
because part of a finger was
clipped off years ago by a ma
chine in a bottling plant, but in
five years in the minors he led
leagues in fielding four times.
Bob has batted only four times
this season and has pair of hits
off Boston's Ellis Kinder to show
for it. He kept a Washington
rally alive Friday night by well
coming Kinder into the game in
the sixth inning with a double.
In the eighth inning, when
Washington was trailing by q
run, Pete Runnels opened with q
single. Harris has been frus-
trated repeatedly this season
when he's ordered sacrifices, but
Oldis expertly pushed a bunt
past Kinder for a hit, only to
have succeeding Senators fail in
attempts to bring the runners
around
Shea Loses Starting Job.
Meanwhile, Spec Shea, bat
tered IN four starts, has been
denoted to the bullpen. Harris
says he'll employ Bob Porter
field tomorrow and will use
either Camilo Pascual or Connie
Marrero, promoted to a starting
role, against Detroit Wednesday.
Just as he plans to pitch left
handlers exclusively against the
Yankees, Harris hopes to sched-
ule only righthanders against
the Tigers. Detroit is loaded
with righthanded hitters, and
Bucky reasons he'd be giving his
lefthanded pitchers the worst of
it by sending them against such
an array.
