day’s opening game that he’d never met a President
before, and he evidently enjoyed the experience

olson2-1 Choice
Over Maxim in
Bout Tomorrow
SAN FRANCISCO, April 12
VP). —The “little man-big man”
theory gets a thorough test here
tomorrow night when Bobo Ol
son tangles with Joey Maxim in
the Cow Palace ring.
Olson, the world middleweight
champion, was a 2-to-l favorite
to make Maxim, former light
heavyweight titlist, his 21st suc
cessive victim before a national
television audience (WTOP in
Washington, 10 p.m.) and what
could be a $150,000 gross turn
out. The match is a nontitle,
overweight 10-rounder.
Toe Much Youth, Stamina
The feeling around the fight
crowd here, presumably flavored
by the fact this is Olson’s home
town, was that the head man of
Sid Flaherty’s stable has too
much youth and stamina for the
aging Maxim, who is required to
trim down to 175 pounds. Olson,
26, is expected to weigh about
170. , : ;. -
The extra poundage on Olson’s
middleweight frame flgures to
add that much more punching
power to the famed body attack
which has given him 61 triumphs
in 67 professional lights. It
won’t, veteran observers say.
slow him down a bit.
Maxim, on the other hand,
has had to knock nearly 15
pounds off his weight and the
strenuous reducing program at
his age—33—could weaken him
in the late going, in the opin
ion of the ringblrds. Maxim
weighed just under 190 for his !
last light in November. He must
be at 175 or below at tomorrow
morning’s weigh-in or cost his
manager. Jack Kearns a SIO,OOO
forfeit to Flaherty. The light,
however, will go on regardless
of what the scales show.
Both Have Big Plans
Both fighters finished training
yesterday, Olson with a three
round workout in a downtown
gymnasium and Maxim with a
bag-punching stint at his train
ing camp in nearby San Rafael.
There’s been no official word
as to what size the pay checks
will be, but both men have made
no bones about admitting they’re
looking to bigger ones on the
basis of tomorrow night’s show
ing. Olson wants to challenge
both Archie Moore, light heavy
weight champion, and Rocky
Marciano, heavyweight cham
pion, while Maxim, already
beaten three times by Moore,
has visions of putting his weight
back on and campaigning strict
ly as a heavy.
WELTERWEIGHTS SIGNED
NEW YORK, April 12 VP).—A
couple of promising welter
weights, Johnny Busso of New
York and Gene Poirer of Niagara
Falls, N Y., have been signed by
Matchmaker Ted Brenner for a
10-round bout at Eastern Park

WIN; LOSE OR
DRAW BY FRANCIS STANN
Dressen Wheels Really Whir
THAT WHIRRING SOUND that must have been heard
all over town on April 11, 1955, is simply a noise to which
the natives must become accustomed. It is going to be a long
summer and, throughout the season, those little wheels in
Chuck Dressen’s head will be spinning thataway, not to men
tion those of such other mental baseball giants as Paul
Richards.
During the long, Involved process of opening the new
American League season with a 12-5 victory for the Senators
over the Orioles at Mr. Griffith’s ball park, several niceties
could not help but be observed. A pinch-runner for a pinch
runner for a pinch-hitter, for instance, was a Dressen touch,
and widely embracing It was, too. Shows what a manager
like our tough little pixie has to consider.
I liked that gesture by Dressen, which came in the sixth
and key inning. His team was behind in a 3-2 game and off
the bench he calls Jesse Levan to pinch-hit. Aside from
President Eisenhower himself, Levan was as unknown to the
ticket buyers as 90 per cent of Ike’s guests In the Chief
Executive’s box.
Boom! With authority, not to mention wrist power, Levan
tied it up with a single and set up a three-run inning. But
not for long did he linger cm'the scene. Those wheels ...
www*
AN EQUALLY UNKNOWN character named Pedro Ramos
loped from the dugout to replace Levan on first base. A few
minutes later Ramos, a 19-year-old pitcher with some of
what Jesse Owens had in his legs, was on third base, rally
still going. And what does our Little Genius do? Just calls
in an English-speaking catcher to run for Ramos.
Now a pinch-runner for a pinch-hitter is nothing new,
but a pinch-runner for a pinch-runner is .. . well! So later
in the dressing room, where Dressen was savoring the delights
of initial victory while a bus firm, a motorcycle cop and the
Pennsy Railroad stewed about getting the Senators on the
5 o’clock for New York, he told all. This Is not difficult for
Dressen, who in a few hours time always has more all to tell.
“Ramos can go from first base to third If we get a decent
base hit,” Chuck put it. “On first base I got Cookie Lavagetto
coaching. He ain’t Spanish—just Italian—but he can get some
words across to Cubans. But when Ramos winds up on third
base with one out I gotta get a new boy.
“I don’t talk Spanish and maybe we got to put on a
squeeze, with Porterfield at bat. So I send for a pinch-runner
for the pinch-runner, one who speaks English. That’s all
there’s to it.”
It’s simple. Just like this new income tax form.
WWW*
CLARK GRIFFITH’S BANTAM genius, unblushingly stolen
from the National League, compared well, indeed, in competi
tion with Mr. Richards of the The latter, a lank
Texan noted as a Scrabble player, also has been known to
play pitchers in the infield In order to let a reliever throw
to one batter and still retain the one of this choice to stay
eligible for further pitching.
Richards cleared his bullpen when he used five pitchers,
so-called, and the feeling here was that he was overmatched
in his mental duels with Dressen if only because the Senators
have more horses than the Orioles. In that sixth Inning, for
example, Richards yanked a right-hander for a southpaw
when Dressen beckoned to little Ernie Oravetz to bat for
Shortstop Bob Kline.
“Oravetz will have news for that pitcher," it was observed
by one in the press box. “Whether Richards knows it or not,
he bats both ways—left and right.” As it turned out, Oravetz
batted right-handed and got a couple of runs home op a
fielder’s choice and a wild throw after a well-hit ball to second
base.
WWW*
A NEWSPAPERMAN ASKED Dressen in the clubhouse
office he’s getting fixed up for himself why he used Oravetz.
Chuck blinked, then said:
“Well, I thought he might get a base hit. Is that,” he
queried, “a pretty good reason?” If his Senators had lost it
would have been a snarling answer, at the mildest.
“So it was a silly question,” acknowledged the newsman,
"although there have been times when the silliest questions
have produced the best replies or the most fireworks.”
“Once when I’m managing Brooklyn a guy—l think he
was a green pea from a wire service—asked me if I could talk
to him after a game. It happened to be Important because
the pennant was involved. We got beat, 3-2, and this guy
comes back and says:
“’Mr. Dressen, when that line drive went between Duke
Snider and Carl Furtllo . . .’
“•Yes?’ I said.
"‘Well,' he said, ‘don’t you think your outfielders were
playing much too shallow?’
WWW*
“I GOT GOOD CONTROL of myself, else I’d batted him,"
Dressen concluded, “but now where were we? Oh, yeah, this
club in general, maybe. Well, you saw what happened. They
fought that Kretlow until he gave up and then we won pretty
good. We’ll fight some other pitchers.
“Porterfield? You mean when he hurt his back fielding
that tap by Waltkus in the ninth? Hell, it’s the same back
he’s been telling me that’s been hurting for a long time.
Notice he stayed in the game. Hell, he had better stuff
pitching to the last two batters than he had all day and,
don’t forget, he spun a pretty good six-hitter.”
And so he did, although Little Oenlus was no drawback
In the masterminding department. On opening day he was j
t?oth good and lucky, and that’s a tough combination to beat., '
shown shaking hands before the President tossed out
the first ball to start the game. When Mr. Eisen
hower showed evidence of having a sore arm, Dressen
advised him of a sure-fire treatment to clear up the
trouble.—Star Staff Photo by John Mueller.

Atkinson to Sub
For Arcaro on
Nashua in Wood
NEW YORK, April 12 (JP).—
Ted Atkinson, who has been
named to ride William Wood
ward, jr.’s Nashua in the SIOO,-
000-added Wood Memorial at
Jamaica April 23, has the good
wishes of Eddie Arcaro, sus
pended saddle ace, who has rid
den the powerful 3-year-old in
all but two of his 11 races.
The winning jockey in the
Wood will collect about SIO,OOO,
or 10 per cent of the purse, and
the pilot of Nashua figures to
have an excellent chance to get
the dough. Atkinson ended a
streak of 20 straight losers yes
terday when he brought in Short
Skirts at $4.20 In the fifth race.
He also scored aboard Obstacle
In the seventh at $6.90.
Trainer Sunny Jim Fitzsim
mons gave Atkinson the assign
ment on Nashua after word from
Bowie that Arcaro had drawn a
second 10-day suspension for an
infraction of racing rules. In
both cases, Eddie was set down
for bearing out on a rival in the
stretch and Arcaro accepted the
blame.
Can Return May 4.
“It’s nobody’s fault but my
own,” he told reporters in the
Jamaica jockeys’ room. “I was
pressing a little too much in
both races.”
Arcaro will not be permitted
to ride again until May 4, but
will be eligible to take the mount
on Nashua in the Kentucky
Derby three days later. He said
he is willing to work Nashua
after the Wood if Fitzsimmons
wants him to do it.
“But it is Ted’s job now and
I wish him the best of luck,” Ar- I
caro added.
Arcaro has been suspended a
number of times before. He got
10 days at Arlington Park in
Chicago only last year. The vet
eran rider was set down for
almost a year from September
26, 1942, to August 7, 1943, for
an infraction aboard Occupation
in the Cowdin Stakes at Aque
duct. In 1936 he was suspended
for six months following a dis
qualification on Privileged In the
Pimlico Futurity.
Public Workout Thursday
Atkinson, famed for his whip
riding, took the news that he
would ride Nashua calmly. Al
though he has never been aboard
the Woodward colt in a race,
Ted has been on him in work
outs and expects to have no trou
ble with him in the Wood.
Nashau is labeled a “propper,” a
horse that sometimes tries to
pull up suddenly after getting to
the front, and Arcaro had his
task cut out for him getting the
big son of Narullah home first
in the recent Florida Derby.
Atkinson will be on Nashua In
a public workout Thursday at
Jamaica. The colt had a six
furlong romp between races yes
terday with Bill McCleary, an
exercise boy, in the saddle. He
was timed in a slow l:lsy s , but
the workout to acclimate
him to the noise of the crowd,
rather than show his speed.
Arcaro and Jess Higley, who
rode Nashua in his debut, are
the only two Jockeys ever to ap
pear on his back in competition.
Meanwhile, Arcaro had good
reason to believe in the super
stition that bad luck runs in
threes. His 13-year-old daugh
ter Carolyn, for whom the horse
Carolyn A. was named, fell from
a horse yesterday and fractured
her collar bone.

Wings Seek Cup
In Game Tonight
MONTREAL, April 12 UP).—
The defending champion Detroit
Red Wings can wrap up the
Stanley Cup—professional hock
ey’s most coveted prize—tonight
but the pattern of the current
series is against it.
The power-packed Wings lead
the best-of-seven set with the
injury-riddled Montreal Cana
diens, 3-2, but all their victories
have been in Detroit. The Cana
dlens, conversely, have scored
both their triumphs here.
“We are a good road club and
although this has been a home
ice series, there’s no reason why
we can’t win a road game,” said
General Manager Jack Adams of
the Wings.
“I’m reluctant to talk about
the game,” Coach Jimmy Skin
ner said with a mock shudder.
Dick Irvin, coach of the Mon
trealers, said he will have a
couple of changes In his lineup.
Forward Dick Gamble, up from
Buffalo of the American Hockey
League, probably will get one
call, but the other would be
nothing more than a guess. It
probably will involve a defense
man.
If the Canadiens win tonight,
they’ll be in an unenviable posi
tion. The seventh and deciding
game would be played Thursday
in Detroit, where the Wings
haven’t been beaten in 23 games.

Rained Out; Two
Other Games Off
Weather Hits Phils and Dodgers;
Dressen Has Plan for Bombers
BY the Associated Pres*
Rain today put a big crimp on
the full-scale opening of the
major league baseball season,
forcing postponement of three
games which had been expected
to attract a total of 67,000
customers.
With the traditional early
openers at Washington and Cin
cinnati out of the way, the ma
jors had expected a turnout of
258,000 at eight other cities.
However, the games between the
Senators and Yankees at New
York, the Pirates and Dodgers
at Brooklyn and the Giants and
Phillies were washed out this
morning. They had been ex
pected to draw 25,000,17,000 and
25,000, respectively.
In addition, the weather was
threatening games at 3altimore,
Kansas City and Milwaukee. It
was clear, temporarily at
in Chicago and Cleveland.
Today's largest crowd Is ex
pected in Cleveland, where some
50,000 fans will see the Indians
open defense of their American
League title by sending Bob
Lemon, a 23-game winner last
season, against Virgil Trucks, the
veteran workhorse of the White
Sox who posted 19 victories in
1954.
Lopei Signs Through ’56
“We should win the pennant
because we have the best ball
club in the league.” manager
A1 Lopez of the Indians said to
day. Lopez felt optimistic be
cause he had just signed to di
rect the club for another two
yean.
The crowd appeal of the Ori
oles in their second season at
Baltimore will be tested as Paul
Richards’ crew takes on the Red
Sox, with Joe Coleman slated to
start against Frank Sullivan.
The Orioles, who were battered,
12-5, by the Senators in a loose
game in Washington yesterday,
were trying hard to sell all their
47,866 seats. It looked like the
crowd would be around 41,000.
Last year’s opening attendance
was 46,354 and the Orioles drew
1,060.000 for the season.
Kansas City Celebrates
Kansas City makes its Ameri
can League debut by playing
host to Detroit. Alex Kellner is
due to start against Ned Garver.
A crowd of 35,000 is expected to
jam refurbished Municipal Sta
dium, which now has a seating
capacity of 30,700.
The Kansas City fans whooped
it up for the Athletics yester
day with a colorful parade
through the downtown streets.
The A’s held back 6.000 general
admission tickets to be sold co
day. A heavy rain and hail
storm hit the city early today,
but a group of hardy fans was
lined up at the ticket windows
at 5 a.m.
All 43,000 seats are sold at
Milwaukee, where Warren Spahn
tangles with Gerry Staley of the
Redlegs.
At Chicago, the Cubs, victors
over the Reds yesterday, 7-5,
will send Paul Minner against
the Cardinals’ Brooks Lawrence.
The crowd estimate is 25,000.

dramatic opener figured to be
the one at Philadelphia, where

until tomorrow to see Robin

BY BURTON HAWKINS
Bt*r SUB Correspondent
NEW YORK, April 12.—Chuck
Dressen, off to a sparkling start
as the Senators’ manager, has
mapped a battle plan to use
against the Yankees, but he
won’t get a chance to use it to
’ day.
Rain late this morning washed
out the Yankees’ opener wMa
: Washington, and forecasts maw
. it very doubtful if the teams wW
i be able to play tomorrow. The
Yankees had expected a crowd
; of 25.000 today.
I Dressen’s strategy for stopping
i the Yankees is to start left
handers against them in all M
their 22 games if it’s at all pq|-
sible. This is no radical inno
vation, for his predecessit l ,
Bucky Harris, followed the same
line of thinking last year. He
had early success with the the
ory, but the New Yorkers wound
up taking the season series, 13-9.
McDermott to Face Ford
Maury McDermott had been
picked to face the Bombers to
day and no doubt will start ip
morrow. Johnny Schmitz, tfce
veteran southpaw curver, was ®ie
original selection for tomorrow's
game. Casey Stengel is expected
to stick to Whitey Ford. z
“To my mind the most dan
gerous hitters in the Yankees’
lineup are Yogi Berra, Vrv
Noren and Mickey Mantle, wlisn
he’s batting left-handed,” Dres
sen said. “If we can stop thejjh.
I’ll take my chances on beating
the Yankees.
“Mantle is a better hitter leit
handed than he is right
handed.” Dressen continued.
“He can’t drag a bunt when b|’s
batting right-handed and he
doesn’t get that extra step on
you getting away from the plate.
Left-handers figure to bother
! Berra and Noren more thsn
right-handers, so that’s what
: we’re going to give them.
Mast Beat Top Clubs
“I don’t know if I can arrange
our pitching schedule to throw
a lefthander at the Yankees
every time we meet them," Dres
sen said, “but I’m starting out
that in mind. I won’t hold back
a pitcher I figure will win against
another club just to fire him
against the Yankees, but if I
can work it out—and I think I
can—they’ll see 22 lefthanded
starters.
“If we’re going to do well,"
Dressen said, “we have to knock
off the top clubs—New York and
Cleveland. I think we’ll be an
improved club over last year.
Detroit and Boston are supposed
to be improved. So is Baltimore.
Well, if we all can knock off
those top fellows more than we
did last year, maybe we can make
things more interesting.”
