Patterson, Rademacher Calm On Eve Of Unique Heavyweight Title Fight By JACK HEWINS SEATTLE I While the box. ing world still seethed and fumed over Thursday's world heavy- weigni uue ngni Detween champ (pro) Floyd Patterson and champ (amateur) Pete Rademacher, the wora Wednesday lor the two prin cipal was "unconcerned." ' Their training ended, both made Wednesday a day of rest. Patterson loafed at the quiet re sort on Star Lake, 20 miles south of Seattle, where he has head quartered during his get-ready program. Rademacher, admitting he is Vjust a country boy," lolled around the house at North Bend, Wash., where he has lived for the last two weeks. At the back door a steep, fir-clad mountain called Mount 'Si stood vigil over the big audacious Olympic champion who has turned the world of boxing topsy-turvy. . . Fight Feeture Unique He is the first to step out of the amateur ranks into a heavyweight championship bout. V Husky Pete worked out Tues day, going two fast rounds with bis spar mates. Asked by sur prised writers why he had con tinued heavy work so long, Pete replied easily, "1 always have." -Patterson worked, too, but light ly, with no sparring. The cham pion (pro) will stay at Star Lake until Thursday morning, driving to Seattle just in time for the noon weigh-in. Rademacher plans to move .into the city Wednesday night, .- i : Cut D'Amato.

(AP) my Jackson last month and, D'Am ato expects him to be a few pounds heavier for Rademacher. Expected Weight 210 The champ (amateur), who has no manager and does his own talking, . expects to weigh 210, neither his heaviest nor his light est. He, was 205 when he earned his crown - at Melbourne but has been as heavy as 214 in some of his 79 amateur bouts. He feels the use of 8-ounce gloves, as ruled by the Washington State Athletic Commission, is in his fa vor. Patterson's camp would have preferred mitts with 2 ounces less padding. Comparing this day to the eve of his Olympic successes, Rade macher said he felt no excitement or tenseness. "This is not like a tournament where you have two or three fights a day and have to keep win ning to stay in the running. I'm ready; I have been ready for a week. I feel I have nothing to lose, everything to gain." Pett Smiles At Self Then he grinned at his own au dacity. "1 don't know if it's all in my head or whether I really have the stull to win the title. The quiet, uncommunicative Patterson showed no signs of tenseness and D'Amato pro nounced him fit "physically and mentally." About the kindest thing its cri tics have called this fight is a "mismatch." Betting odds were being reported as 1 to 10 in Pat terson's favor, but, as one down town Seattle business man put it. nobody is Detting wnue sooer. But criticism and lack of bet ting have not shortened the lines at the ticket windows. The 25.000- seat Sicks' Seattle Stadium has been scaled to bring in $400,000 at S20-S15-S10. With about $200, 000 in the till now and the "cheap seats" not going on sale until Thursday, prospects are good for a near-sellout Weather Excellent The weather has been excellent all week and promoter Jack Hur ley expressed no worry over the possibility of rain on fight night. "The people up here are used to rain, anyway," he said. "A little of it never hurt anybody." But just in case ol a downpour he has set Friday night as the postponement date.

Wi Jack Dempsey, obviously not afraid of a fight at the age of 62, said Tuesday night he doesn't think the Pete Rademacher-Floyd Patterson heavyweight title bout should have been scheduled. Giving the champion the edge Dempsey said, "Somebody should get knocked out in the first round." Rademacher, Patterson Point System Revealed SEATTLE I Judging for the Floyd Patterson-Pete Rademacher heavyweight championship fight will be on the 10-point-must sys-1 tern. Under it, the winner of each round receives 10 points and the loser nine or less depending upon his showing. Referee Tommy Loughran, for i mcr light-heavyweisht titlist and the sole official Thursday night, said the victim of a knockdown would collect just five points. He said he would not stop the bouts because of cuts. Tommy re ceived severe lacerations during his career but still won bouts. By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The Northwest League's blue plate special series of the year opens at Eugene Wednesday night with the second-place Emeralds and the front-running Wenatchee Chiefs tangling in the first game1 -t . iu-i u t ui a set uiai cuuiu ueuiue ine pen nant. ' The Emeralds, who climbed to within four games of the Chiefs Tuesday night, will be going for broke in the series opening Wed nesday night. They won the first half of the split season and can take all the marbles without a scuffle by winning the second half. The season ends Sept. 2. If Eu gene wins the second half, it's all over. If Wenatchee or another team wins the second half the Emeralds will have to take their chances for the pennant in a play off. The Emeralds clobbered Sa lem's Senators 17-1 Tuesday night while Yakima was hanging a 7-0 whitewash job on the Chiefs. Lew iston's Broncs drubbed the Tri City Braves twice, 7-4 and 7-3. Lightweight Champion In Non-Title TV Bout CHICAGO Lightweight champion Joe Brown, who has yet to break into the big money, Wed nesday night will fight Joey Lopes for a $4,000 television stipend and a percentage of a small gate at Chicago Stadium. At best, he probably will make $4,500 with only about 1,500 pay ing customers on hand. By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Haywood Sullivan led the ram paging San Francisco Seals still one game closer to the Pacific Coast League flag Tuesday night. Sullivan unloaded a homer high over the Seals Stadium fence with the bases loaded in the sixth in ning, giving the San Franciscans a 4-1 victory over Seattle. That, combined with Vancouver's 2-1 loss to San Diego, put the Seals Vi games ahead of the second place Mounties. The Padres' triumph put them a half-game ahead of fourth place Hollywood. Sacramento beat Hollywood 5-0, putting the Stars seven games off the pace. Los Angeles defeated last-place Portland in both ends of a dou bleheader, 6-4 and 6-0 as Steve Bilko hit his 44th and 45th homers for the Angels. Beve Cutoff Wins Bill Werle, cast off by Portland last week, held Vancouver score less until the ninth inning when pinch-hitter Owen Friend put one out of the park. Werle. in his first San Diego start, had no other trouble with the Mounties except in the sixth when two men got on with only one out. But Werle start ed a double play to end that threat. With 33 games remaining Bilko is one homer off his 1956 pace. He hit 55 that season. Homers figured heavily in both Portland Los Angeles games. All four Beav er runs in the opener came on homers by Bob Borkowski and Luis Marquez while Earl Battey won it for the Angels with a fifth inning tie-breaker. In the night cap, the Angels' Tom Saffcll and Bilko each hit one. The 230-pound Bilko also stole home, on the other end of a douhle steal with Bert Hamric. Winner Connie Grob gave up only five hits in the nightcap. Flif Aimiuiti Suits JJZjV? ii, R0SEBURG . RCA World's Championship RODEO SAT. & SUN. 2J0 P.M. Bigtime Rodeo At It't Best!
