Run Smack Into
Wynn and Score
BY BURTON HAWKINS
Star Stan Correspondent

CLEVELAND, May 18.-The
Senators had some of the air
let out of their batting averages
in Chicago, and they've pulled
into an unlikely spot to have
them inflated again.
Since rampaging against the
Red Sox Saturday night for IL
runs, Washington batters have
taken a comparative vacation
stirring up only five runs in their
last three games. They required
the assistance of an error to
register one of those at Chicago,
where their production was two
runs in two games.
That sort of batting behavior
doesn't win many games. In fact,
the Senators have dropped their
last three. have faded deeper into
sixth place, four games below the
500 level, and at the moment
resemble the ineff1cients of 1855.

LOS ANGELES, May IS (R.-

Ray Robinson, the dancing man

knockout over Bobo Olson to-
night as he defends his reclaimed
title against the ex-champion.
Although Robinson has been

feel his best chance lies in a kaye

for is rounds or less starts in
Wrigley Field and will be tele-

ceipts were expected to be in
the neighborhood of $175,00O

The heat wave which gripped
Los Angeles in midweek broke
yesterday with cloudy weather
and possible sprinkles expected
tonight. Wet or dry, the bout
is scheduled to go on, with a
canopy over the ring if necessary.
Seeking Early Knockout
Neither the champion from
New York nor the challenger
from San Francisco was expected
to have any trouble making the
160-pound limit at weigh-in
time.
Robinson's knockout punch
turned out the lights for Bobo
in the second round last Deem
Der 9 in Chicago as the Harlem
dandy took back the crown he'd
given up with a retirement an
nouncement 81 months before.
That was when he embarked on
a professional dancing tour.
Robinson. SO, and Olson, q,
have met three times with Bobo
drawing a blank. He lost twice
by knockouts and once by a de-

continues the greater the chance

from a vote Of opposition to q
proposed increase of ! cent in
the Maryland State sales tax.
Council members met with

building in Rockville.
The Council had prepared q

the tax increase was enacted.
Income Tax Alternative
However, legislators told the
Council members that the in
crease seemed probable since only
the two counties were preparing
to fight it. They pointed out also
that the alternative for new
sources of revenue for the State
would be an increase in the in
come tax.
Blair H. Lee. III, chairman Of
the six-member delegation, noted
that Montgomery County fur
nishes z per cent of sales tar
revenue in the State and IL pei
cent Of income tax revenue. The
disparity is caused by heavy
purchases by county residents in
