NEW YORK an—A choir ginger (
and a plasterer, two eager men!
with bright fistic dreams, were at
the boxing crossroads today and
only one of them qiuld take the
high road.
Don Williams, 23-year-nld choir
singer, and Oil Turner, 21-year-old
former plasterer, meet in a 10-
round bout gs Madison Square Oar
den Friday night. The winner wili
be in line for a welterweight title
fight with champion Kid Oavilan.
For both of them it is a make
■ or-break engagement. More so,
probably, for Williams. Because by
breaking the undefeated bubble'
which Turner has created In 29
straight victorious fights, he could
project himself undeniably into the
championship picture.
Williams proven recently that
winning the title wasn’t beyond
him when ha fought to a split de-

to. The Mingy youngster came off
|the flobr twice to win one judge’s
I nod but trailed in the point scoring
by the close count of 28$ to 288.
A fighter since 19*2, after an 18-
month hitch in the Marines', Wil
liams will go into this one as a
two or three-to-one underdog who
must win. In 67 fl»hts. he has won
M and scored 32 knockouts. Losing
this one could remove him from
the front ranks of the challengers.
Yet. young Turner needs this
one. too. to prove thnt his Phila
delphia-mode reputation is not a
home-town product. Oil, boxing
only three years, became a sensa
tion in the Quaker City as he ran
un an undefeated string which in
cludes such names as those of
Beau Jack, Charley Fusarl and tke
Williams.
Then. he was brought into the
Garden, boxing’s mecea. last De
cember and failed to live up to his
reputation os he scored art uncon
vincing decision over Vie Cardell.
The question was whether he
“froze up” in his first big out-of
town fiaht, and this seemed to. be
the answer.
There is some doubt as to wheth
er Turner, even if he wins this one
in which he is so heavily favored,
would accept a shot at Gavtlah.
He has been brought along slowly,
a rare occurence in the money
hungry fight gome, and this cau
tion may be extended even in the
event of his Victory over the rug
ged Williams.
But a loss-would dull his lustre
and set him back immeasurably.
So, Turner promises a real fight.
Williams does, too. For he knows
that he has even less time than
Turner and victory would put him
right up there at the top. It makes
for quite a fight.

BRADENTON, Fla. Os) Tommy
youth movement in his
first'full season as manager , of Oia
Boston Braves appeared on the vir
ge of paying dividends today.
. i “
_ Prospects are that six or seven
of the 18. rookies he has in camp
Wilt make the club.
“We are, of course, shooting fbr
the wdrkg,” Holmes said. “but. I
definitely have decided to go with
the kids this year, even if they
ooat us ball games. We found put
last-season we couldn’t win wjtb
what we had, so we decided to re
build.
“It’s 1988 and 1984 I’m thinking
more about than 1982, but that
doesn’t rtiean we are conceding a
thing this season. When you have
to go pith youngsters, you knov;
they are going to make costly mis
takes. and I only hope our fans
will stall loyal to us and give the
kids a chance to develop. Then we
are gotfur to give them a real good
ball club,”
Holmes refused to single out anv
of the rookies, claiming “the field
is wide open and every one of them
has a chance to stay."
The Braves’ skipper is spending
most of bis time with the kid in
flelders, for the Boston inner de
fense tear season was a sieve.
• “The infield is mv big problem."
Holmes admitted. “I’m hoping , to
conge up with three kid infieklers
whe can play third, second and
ere set at first with Earl
, Tpntesotr although George Crepe, a
Frookie, is a mighty fine prospect
Land is going to give Torgey a good
battle for the job." 4
Two of the meet highly touted
TOokies are third beeeman-Ed Mat
hews and. Billy Klaus. Mathews- is
the better hitter, but Klaus, accord
ing to Holmes, is a "major leaguer
