James’ strickeout specialist in any
real trouble. In the fifth inning
with one out, Cape hit Jimmy
Mercer on the foot and walked C.
W. Marlow to put two potential
scorers on the base paths. Fain
Slaughter, Smith catcher then
rapped one back to the mound to
Cape. The James’ hurler chose to
cut the man off coming to third
but the throw was not in time
and the bases were loaded.
Cape bore down and sent the
next batter, Lou Lanard, to the
bench via the strike out route for
the third consecutive time. With
two outs and the tieing run on the
bases, Peawee Hancock, who
played an unusually good defen
sive game at his shortstop posi
tion, flied out to Marlow in left to
retire the' side,
. The first place DeMolays meet
the third place Amvets tonight in
what promises to be a slam-bang
affair. Both clubs have improved
tremendously and will be going
all out to nail down that league
leading spot.

" The Southern Association pen

only one game separates the first
division teams and sixth — place
Birmingham is only 7% games off

The Chicks downed Chattano

from fourth, showed an eight point
improvement with eight bingles in
21 tries.

one point, at .335. Goodman

Pitching Is
Highlight In
Baxter’s Win
In the week-opening Little Lea
gue action yestreday, Baxter
strengthened its hold on first place
by downing Sperting Goods, 2-1,
behind the three-hit hurling of
Francis Tarkington.
The win enabled Baxter to
stretch its first place lead to a
full game over the second-stand
ing Chicopee squad.
Tarkington continued his bril
liant pitching performances by
limiting the Sporting Goods boys
to three hits, while striking out
13 and walking only three.
For the losers, Marshall matched
the performance of Tarkington
with a three-hitter of his own,
but it was not quite enough to
win. Marshall also banged out two
of his team’s three hits.
Coughlin, Rhodes, and Seymour
collected the base raps for the
winners, while Ronnie Lord was
the only Sporting Goods team
member to hit besidegs Marshall.
Today’s game will pit Benson

Gavilan Scores TKO
Over Turner In 11th
PHILADELPHIA, July B.—(AP)—Kid Gavilan still is
welterweight champion of the world and Gil Turner still
rookie of the year. : : Al
That’s the situation today as the
Cuban Keed looks for new worlds
to conquer after his 11th round
technical knockout win over 21-
year-old Turner last night at Mu
nicipal Stadium.
Al Weill, International Boxing
Club matchmaker, immediately
went to work on a future schedule
for the 147-pound champ. His
managers are due to talk dates
and cpponents at the IBC offices
in New York tomorrow.
“Johnny Saxton, Billy Graham
and Chuck Davey would be good
opponents for Gavilan,” said
Weill. “We don’'t know yet what
he wants to do. But they'd all
draw good money for title bouts in
the Garden in the fall.”
Harry Markson, IBC boxing di
rector, agreed with Weill, There
also is talk of a rematch with
Turner—in a year or so.
Turner was running about even
with Gavilan last night when he
ran into that furious 11th round
barrage. Judges Charley Daggert
and Lou Tress had it 5-5 after 10
rounds and Referee Pete Tomasco
had the Cuban out front, 6-4. The
AP card showed Gavilan leading
5 4-1 going to the last round.
Coming into -his biggest as an
unbeaten fighter with 25 knock
outs in 31 straight wins, Turner
paid the penalty of over-eager
