Entries must be post marked not later than Aug. 23, '58 Patterson, Harris In Title Bout By JACK CUDDY United Press International LOS ANGELES (UPI) Cham pion Floyd Patterson and chal lenger Roy Harris of Cut and 5hoot, Tex., two brawny young athletes with remarkable records, fight tonight for the world heavy weight championship the ring's golden crown. Shortly after sundown, they will square off in Wrigley Field for their scheduled ' 15-roiincler in vhich Patterson who knocked out 14 of the last 15 men to face him will try to blast back woodsman Harris' perfect record of 22 straight professional victor ies. They are not only the youngest pair to fight for the coveted dia dem, but they apparently boast the most enviable records of-any duo in the division's title history. The 23-year-old champion lost but one of his 34 starts, and that on a very questionable decision. Har ris, 25, is unbeaten. Because of their records, each should be extremely victory-conscious when he starts tossing the eight-ounce gloves before a crowd that will include Texas oil, cattle and rice millionaires and Holly wood stars of the enlertainmenl world. The main event is slated for II p.m., p.d.t. 11 p..m, edt Because of his punch, the cham pion from Mt. Vernon, NY., is favored at 6-1 to tag Harris with his first defeat, and at 3-1 to win on a knockout. Betting has been very light. Likewise, the ticket sale for Wrigley Field from $5 to $30 a pew has been disappointingly light. Promoter Bill Rosensohn. staging his first fight, originally dreamed of a $500,000 gate; but now he will be lucky to beat the California state record of $228,500 set by Sugar Rav Robinson and Bono uison ai ine same iieiu may 18, 1956. The paid attendance is expected to approximate 13,000. Patterson hasn t fought in prac tically a year. His last title de fense was on Aug. 22, last year against amateurish Pete Rade- macher, who had Patterson on the floor before being knocked out by the champion. Harris hasn t fought since last Oct. 29 about 10 months when he outpointed Willi Besmanoff of Germany. A six-month hitch- in the Army curtailed his fistic ac tivities, and tonight's battle will be his first outside of Texas and his first on any brand of TV. The fight will be sent by closed- circuit TV to 140 theatres and arenas in 115 cities in the United States and Canada. There will be neither home TV nor home radio Regardless of tonight's gate and theatre-TV receipts, Harris will receive a flat guaranteed $100,000. He is the first heavy challenger to get a flat assurance. He got it to make certain he wouldn't stage a possible runout under urging from the rival Internation al Boxing Club. Patterson gets a $210,000 guar antee, with the possibility of re ceiving more through various per centages of the net gale and TV theatre receipts. ' j ?
