The White Sox, pennant-
minded and receiving almost
complete cooperation in their
aspirations from the Senator's,
open a three-game series tonight
at Griffith Stadium with Virgil
Trucks trying for his sixth
straight victory.
Beaten 10 times in their last
II starts, the Senators will rely
on Bob Porterfield to stop Chi
cago. Bob, trying to level his
record at 8-8, lost a 10 duel
in his last outing against the
White Sox when an unearned
run in the first inning doomed
him.
Trucks, beefy righthander, has
pitched two successive shutoutS,
following up a 100 victory over
Washington with an 80 triumph
over Baltimore. He previously
had disposed Of Boston, Detroit
and Kansas City in his string and
will be bidding for his eighth win
Of the year tonight.
Contrast i'm Batting Help
Trucks has been receiving con-
siderable batting help in his
streak, with the White Sox con-
tributing 48 runs in his five sue
cessive wins. Meanwhile Porter

NEW YORK, June 81 R.-

lperts picking Archie Moore to
win by knockout, the odds ia

champion to beat Bobo Olson to-
morrow night at the Polo
Grounds moved up to 2 to / or
better today. Heretofore, Moore
has been favored at 8 to 5 or

Meanwhile, neither Moore nor

Jim Norris, president Of the
international Boxing Club, tossed
Ia little wood on the fire yester-
day when he discussed Marci-
amos September plans.
"I will talk with AL Well (Mar-

he said. "A Moore match would
be very desirable If he wins. But
1t all depends on how he wins It.
eff Olson should win and look
real good, I'd like to match him
with Marciano. I never talked

I have talked to Sid Flaherty

A poll of boxing writer's
showed a marked trend toward
Moore. Fourteen of ~ writer's
picked Archie to win by a knock
out. Seven thought Olson would
win the decision, but none FORE
cast a kayo for the middleweight
champion. = .
Moore Near Weight
Another factor in lengthening
the odds on Moore was the mat
ter Of weight. It is generally

"He told me he had played
