Just who his opponent will be won’t be decided until a week from Friday when Paddy Young and| Bobo Oison meet in New York.| The winner will have the some- what unenviable task of trying to stop Turpin. Randy made a hacked up mess of Charles Humez’ face and repu- tation last night in a 15-rounder | for the English and European ver-o sion of the championship. Harry Markson, managing direc | tor of the International Boxing | | Club, said he came to London to} jsign the winner to fight either Young or Olson and that he was/ { baseball for the Conchs throughout the season, in- eluding a brace of no-hitters. Lastres set Kissimmee down’ Monday on but four hits and after a day’s rest is expected to come right back in strong fashion. _ Although the Key Westers could. garner but four hits off the slants of a pair of Kissi hurlers, the base- running of Gibby Gates and the heads-up defense the lo- cals.exhibited gave them the verdict.” P. K. Yonge gained their spot in the semi-finals on the basis of a 3-1 victory over Brandon in the first round of action. They are expected to start Wes Larson on the mound. Larson hurled. two- hit -ball for the Gainesville _ school in the opener. Today's action is slated to Ganderway at 3:00 p.m. MAJOR LEADERS By The Associated Press NATIONAL LEAGUE BATTING —.

Humez managed to scrape together three rounds. One was called even. Booing welcomed the end of the fight, which practically everyone— including Turpin—expected to end with a knockout. Most of the 5,000 spectators looked for Turpin, the greatest postwar hero in British} boxing, to win by another knock- out, or at least a TKO, and they were disappointed when the fight went all the way. But knocking out Humez doesn’t come easy, even for a two-handed hitter like Turpin. Humez lacked ; a varied collection of punches and Turpin hit him often, But the French boy was tough. Even at the end, with his face bleeding from four cuts—two of them gaping, the durable Lion of Picardy had enough staying power to win. the final round. Turpin, now 25, won and lost the undisputed world middleweight championship in fights with Sugar Ray Robinson in July and Septem- ber of 1951, Since then, he’s grown Several pounds, and although he made the 160-pound limit exactly, he’s beginning to look like a light heavyweight.

The phenomenal success of Mil- waukee's debut as a big league city has altered the picture radical- ly, our informant says. Where only two clubs, Cleveland and Chicago, | voted. to approve the transfer last spring, the count should be virtual- ly unanimous this time. Some of the owners still will not like Bill Veeck, the Brownie presi- dent, any better than they did in March (and the feeling will be strongly reciprocated), but the rival league's Milwaukee venture has convinced them they are mis- sing a bet. They like money, and they are not getting it in St. Louis. One report is that a Baltimore | group is prepared to pay Veeck force the men who “double-cross- ed” him at Tampa to take him and Baltimore, both. Television of boxing matches has its faults, as we have been glad to point out, but the industry pretty well balanced its books the other night by permitting millions of home viewers to watch Willie Pep, one of the great modern masters, youngster Pat Marcune at Madison Square Garden. Very few of them had seen the | wonderful little ex-champion be- fore, «and there will not be many | more opportunities.
