Patterson, Rademacher Calm On Eve
Of Unique Heavyweight Title Fight
By JACK HEWINS
SEATTLE I While the box.

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 :

CHALLENGER AND CHAMPION This is how challenger
Pete Rademacher and champion Floyd Patterson measure
up for their heavyweight title bout in Seattle Thursddy.
(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.

certain exceptions.-,
In effect the new rules will open
up reservoirs on the North Ump
qua, of which the major ones ae
Soda Springs, Toketee and Lemo
lo. Little or 110 boating will be
done on the river proper since the
water is too fast and turbulent.
In the past the North Umpqua
has been closed to boat angling
above Winchester Dam through
legislative act During ensuring
years the impoundments were con
structed and were effected by the
legislative closure. As a result the
fisheries in the impoundments
could not be fully utilized by sports-

At the reqaWi cK the Game-Commission,
the Legislature during its
last session' repealed this act to
permit the Gam Commission to

The new .boating rules for the
North Umpqua call for a complete

Dempsey Has Doubts
About Thursday Fight
FOND DU LAC, Wis. 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.

with the second-place Emeralds
and the front-running Wenatchee
Chiefs tangling in the first game1

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

champion Joe Brown, who has yet
to break into the big money, Wed

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.
