SIXTEEN FRIDAY. MAY 18, 1955 THE EVENING INDEPENDENT. MASSXLLON. OHIO Three-Way Battle In Each League By ED WILKS The Associated Press It begins to look more and more as if the two major league pennant races are a pair of three-team affairs. In the National, it's Milwaukee.

St. Louis and Brooklyn. In the American, New York, Cleveland and Boston although the Red Sox may hold only half a share of the third contender's entry along with the Chicago White Sox. THE BRAVES, with Warren Spaim looking like his old self and Hank Aaron finally belting the ball, retained their slim edge over the Cards by thumping the New York Giants 7-3 Thursday night while St. Louis, loaded with four of the NL's top 10 sluggers.

put down the suddenly ambitious Philadelphia Phillies "5-4. Brooklyn scheduled. In the only other NL game, Chicago's Cubs finally won on the road, knocking Pittsburgh 4-1. The New York Yankees imped, their AL lead, snapping the VViite Sox's streak 103 while left-hander Whitey Ford won his sixth straight without i defeat. Boston closed to within a game of the third-place White Sox by battering Kansas City 6-1 in the only other, game played.

Spahn won his third straight against one defeat with great control. He did a near-perfect job of scattering eight New York hits and didn't walk a man. Two singles in the third cut his scoreless string at innings and Don Mueller followed Willie Mays' double with a home run in the ninth to score Yovks' runs. THE BRAVES, banging five extra base blows among their 10' hits, put the game away in the! seventh on four runs, with Aaron poling a long triple to drive in half of them. Aaron also had a double and Del Crandall homered for the Braves.

Ruben Gomez suffered his second defeat in three decisions. The Cards, 27 percentage points behind the Braves, remained the won-lost leaders as Ken Boyer, upping his average to .418, Robinson Hopes To Beat Olson On Quick Knockout DISTRICT HONORS in golf will be what the Washington and Central Catholic high teams will be shooting for when the Northeastern Ohio district tournament is held at Kent's Meadowview course today.

Ford, workin; Sugar Has Beaten Bobo Three Times By JACK STEVENSON LOS ANGELES (AP) Middleweight champion Sugar Ray Robinson, the dancing man who proved fighters can come back, goes after another quick knockout over Carl (Bobo) Olson tonight as he defends his reclaimed title against the ex- champ. Although Robinson has been installed as favorite, most experts feel his best chance lies in a kayo during the early rounds. THE OUTDOOR battle scheduled for 15 rounds or less starts wil! be held in Wrigley field.

NBC will televise nationally at 10 p. m. (dst) with southern California blacked out. Gate receipts were expected to be in the neighborhood of $175,000 with an additional S75.000 for radio and TV rights. Each fighter collects 30 per cent.

Wet or dry, the bout is scheduled to go on, with a canopy over the ring if necessary. Robinson's knockout punch turned out the lights for Bobo the second round last Dec. 9 at Chicago as thr Harlem dandy took back the crown he'd given up with a retirement announcement 31 months before. That was 1 when he embarked on a profes- dancing tour. Robinson.

35, and Olson, 27, have met three times. Bobo lost twice by knockouts and once by a decision. This time there's a feeling that the longer the fight continues the greater the chance of the younger, body-socking Olson. Sugar Ray maintained, however, "I have never been in better condition for a fight in my life. have trained to go 15 rounds if jl have to, but I will try to trick ST.

"If that Fabius gets out in front by four lengths and still is going in the stretch, he's going to be hard to catch," admitted jockey Erb of Needles.

Needles made up close to five lengths on Fabius in the last half i mile of the derby two weeks But the last turn is tighter and the stretch considerably shorter at Pimlico than Churchill downs! In the bargain, they have a sixteenth of a mile less to go. Also, jockey Willie Hartack on Fabius had to move into the lead after three quarters of a mile, which was sooner than he had because the pace was so jslow. It left him with no reseve for the final If one of the others will set a fast pace.

"I feel thc team is a better all- i around clfab now than when we GB started the season," Lane said He isn't flatly prc- i dieting a pennant this year but says he now has a "contending 3 club" and he forecasts "a 8 race." 8 Lane says he has taken note of st newspaper criticism of his recent deals but he personally hasn't iwu any calls Uom irate fans. i A rundown on Lane's manipulations this past week: Friday Haddix, Miller and Flowers for Dickson and Weh- Imcier.
