CHARLES COVERS uncorks a punch n the seventh with a knockout Small Towns Pay Better, Says Matthews' Manager SEATTLE UP) There's not enough lettuce in the garden ex cent for the promoter and a fighter can harvest more of the long green stuff in tne ninier lands. Prestige? Yes. Money? Nope. That is the observation of Jack Hurley, the scholarly locking grey haired fight manager of Seattle's Harry "Kid" Matthews. The manager can jheave some money too. especially if he holds a 50-50 contract with his scrapper, such as Hurley has with Matthews. Hurley told a gathering of the sportscasters that he's sown $20. 000 in revamping Matthews his kind of fighter, and he hasn t started to get it back yet, what with the rise in expenses. He says there are two ways to reap the returns: a title scrap with the International Boxing club controlled lightheavy or heavy weight champions, or bouts against the best available at such cities as Boise, Portland, Seattle and Salt Lake City?) The independent Hurley lfcvs his neck to nobody, ao he tie aim Mat thews are not exactly persona grata around the Garden di URgin a. TV Brings Big Receipts Hurley criticized the I. B. C.'s television setup in Madison Square uarden, contending the promoters base the purses lor fighters on the attendance, then ladle off most of the gravy from TV sponsors. He said Matthews only got around 17,000 for his sensational victory over Irish Bob Murphy in the (flrden a few months ago, but thar-fat offers are flowing in from various western points eager to aeetlie ex-Idaho Adonis, 'Mia of towns want to see us," Hurley said, "but the problem is finding opponents." The Kid is slated to battle the veteran Lloyd Marshall in a 10 rnunder here next i'riday night. Marshall is the only fighter other than new heavyweight titlist Jer sey Joe Walcott to kayo Knard Charles. He belted him out in 1943. Hurley says he's confident Mat thews can beat Marshall, unless he gels knockout - happy. "Harry Frank Isbell, first baseman for the Chicago White Sox in 1II01, led the American League in stolon bases with 48 that first AL season. nave lira in was the youngest member of the Chicago White Sox no years ago when the first Ameri can League game was plaved. apis fillers pat LOGGERS Q020 10:00x20 10:00x22 o WE HAVE THEiV 0 ROGUE EQUIPftEhfr SALES, Inc: HIWAY 99 NORTH RS UP Champion Eizard Charles coven up at ehallenftr Jane in first round of title fight in Pittsburgh's Forbei field.

Hurley told the writers he'd like to get Matthews a match with Walcott, too, but "it all depends on that I, B. C. stymie." He said he wouldn't be a bit surprised if Walcott actually is 45 years old rather than 37, but he declared Walcott'a legs are springy as a kid's, no matter how old he is. Spokane Indians Beaten $y Tigers By Th Aiioclatvd PrM The Spokane Indians slid to I three games off the pace in the western international league last night as the-lowly jfjeoma Jigers handed them an 1P3 shelit'king. meanwhile pasted Victoria 11-4.
