New York Giants needn't be con-
cerned any more about Willie
Mays hitting or lack Of it in
the Caribbean series. But you
can't blame him if he's a little
worried over the pitching hand
of Ruben Gomez.
After failing to get hit in
the first two games of the series,
Willie broke out of his, slump
with a game e-winning home run
in the 11th inning Saturday
night. And then yesterday he
went 4 for S. including the VIM
ming hit, as he paced the San
turce club of Puerto Rico to a
7-6 victory over Cuba and
clinched at least a tie for the
championship.
Gomez sprained his right hand
in a play at third base. An at
tending doctor diagnosed the in
jury as a sprain and said Ruben
would be okay in 72 hours. but
an x-ray was to be taken today
to determine If the injury is any,
thing more serious.
Gomez injured his throwing
hand in attempting to tag Balti-
more's Willie Miranda going into
third in the fifth inning. He left
the game and didn't receive
credit for the victory. He al

boxing.
Jones, an upset winner over
Sugar Ray Robinson after losing
five in a row, gets a non-title
shot at Carl tBobo) Olson. mid
dleweight champion, Wednesday
at Chicago in the same ring
where he whipped Sugar Ray. If
Jones should win, or even make
it close in an exciting bout, he
might get a crack at the crown
next summer.
Olson probably will box joey
Maxim, the former light-heavy
king, in another over-the-weight
match in San Francisco in
March before he makes another
defense.
Robinson, incidentally, prob
ably will continue his comeback
against the advice of many

Norkus' big chance comes Fri
day at Madison Square Garden
against Ezzard Charles. the for
mer heavyweight champion. On
the strength of a Knockout over
Charley Powell and decision
over Roland La Starza, Norkus
is No. 8 among the contenders.
Charles, making his first start

Rocky Marciano last year.
is No. 3.
Until his recent hot streak,
Norkus was just another run-of-

things are now in the division,
a humping victory or knock
out over Charles would put him
in the middle Of things.
