Beaten in his first bid for the century by middleweight king Bo- bo Olson last April, the Kid is su- premely confident he will give the 24-year old Saxton a sound drub- bing. The 15-rounder in Connie Mack Stadium will be the clever, 28-year old Cuban’s eighth defense of the 147-pound crown he won three years ago from Johnny Bratton. Bratton, too, was the last man to challenge the Keed for the welter crown and Gavilan whipped him handily in November. The cocky Saxton believes Gay- ilan is ready to be taken and he’s the one who can do it. Solidly built and catlike in his movements, Saxton uses a crowding style which normally gives Gavilan his most trouble. The champ likes to set his own pace, Saxton has a 43-2-2 record. His two losses—to Gil Turner and Del Flanagan—were by split decision. Johnny Lombardo, the free- swinging Mount Carmel, Pa., wel- ter who held Saxton to a draw on Christensen in a 10 at Brooklyn’s Eastern Parkway Arena tonight. ABC will telecast the bout at 9 p.m., EST. The headline 10 at New York's St. Nicholas Arena tonight matches a pair of hard-hitting heavyweights in Bob Satterfield of Chicago and Frankie Daniels of Bakersfield, Calif. Satterfield, the No. 6 light heavyweight contender, has flat- tened 28 of his 53 opponents. Daniels’ kayo record is 15 out of 31.

REASONABLE RATES [Kid Gavilan Seeks 100th Win In Bout With Johnny Saxton Bob Lemon Touted As Top Hurler ‘In American Loop BOSTON — Manager Al Lopez of the American League-leading | Cleveland Indians today touted his ace pitcher Bob Lemon, first 20- game winner of the 1954 season, as a good bet for the loop’s Most Val- uable Player award. Lemon, just an average infielder who developed into one of base ball’s top pitchers, ran his season’s mark to 20-5 yesterday with an eight-hit, 6-2 verdict over Boston in the opener of a doublepheader, The Indian won the nightcap 8-1, The husky right-hander thus be- came a 20-game winner for the sixth time in the past seven sea- sons. He turned the trick in 1948- 50 and 1952-54. It was his 1th straight triumph after a midseason letdown caused by a back injury suffered while swinging a bat againt the New York Yankees, The injury affected his pitching fora while, but his terrifie form since that time has been a tremendous factor in the Indians’ surge toward the pennant. “If Lemon wins five or. six more games,” Lopez said, ‘the’ll be hard to beat for the Most Val- uable Player award.” The Cleveland pilot quickly add- ed that his Indians boast several other possibilities in heavy-hitting Larry Doby, sparkplug Bobby }| Avila and 1953 MVP choice Al Rosen, ,_ 1 one of the USGA Opens held in the 1920’s, golf champion Jock Hutchinson really got into the rough. His caddie laid down his bag and that was lost, too, along with the ball.
