J rv -.fill : 0 urmer'am Bill, mm. 5 i y - 9 V f r I BUDDY PETERSON - V 1 ! - I I -"'I w T LEO TURNER Sport Sparks By RON GEMMELL Despite this being an alleged democracy, a Scandina vian and an African tonight battle for blood. That the toe-to-toe tussle Cherry city, with a heterogeneous crowd of better than 1000 bellering for an early tipping of the claret cask, would not by strict standards' make the piece de resistance one whit more democratic. Yet its typically American, and Americanism is democ racy. ' The crown that adorns Buddy Peterson's Scandinavian brow in no way gives him au- tocratic power. This morning he is the Oregon state middle weight champion. Tonight he may have become the ex-champion. Leo "The Lion" Turner, co lored challenger, will work tin aer exactly the same rules and will abide by the decision ot three fair-minded men, exactly as will Champion Peterson. Most democratic portion of all will be tbe chorus ot boos that will greet the decision, should the fight go to the li mit, regardless of to whom the nod is given. That's indeli bly Americanism, and Lord lore It! o They're Just Kids. They're but youngsters, the principals of this championship clash. Peterson, who won the title pat up by the Salem Box ing commission by taking the measure of Logger Jack Hib bard, is 21. Turner,, who has had but five professional fights, is 1. . . Advantage - in professional experience is with Peterson, whose three years hi the pay ring . ha sees him go to tb post .27 times.

Other than that the champ and challenger phy sically measure up : almost - Iden tically. Peterson and Turner have fought twice before. ' Their first battle, and the' first r" con test of Turner's life, saw the little i brown bomber box the ears off Peterson in a non-ti tle bout here. The . second ses sion was held in Rosehurg, where the referee handed out, a draw that was wildly disap proved by - a' southern Oregon pugilism populace that thought it was Turner's fight by a moun tain mile. Only twice in. his life has Turner been beaten, bath times as an nmatear. One of those was lost on one of thesw nnlateational fools that some times can't be helped. The other, lost In Fresno, Calif 4 was by a decision of ' Referee Jess , Willard, - of whom yew may . hare heard. Tamer claims Willard gave tbe fight to the ' hometown boy.

When all the chips are down either a new champion will be crowned or the farmer boy will have added another fistic jewel to the crown he has worn with pro fessional pride for the last eight months. Judges Provided If by that swiftest and surest terminator of ring combat, a knockout, only the rhythmic swing of Referee Kid McCoy's right arm will be in on the rendition of a verdict. But if at the end of the full 10 three-minute rounds both gladiators are erect, two Judges, H. V. "Harry" CoUins and Frank Saunders, will cast ballots along with Referee McCoy. Youthful Turner, ebony streak of ring ruthlessness, who has yet to suffer a professional setback, and who holds one decision over Peterson scored in a non-title go one dreary night last winter when Peterson was the victim ot a flu attack that did as much to sap his strength as Turner's punches will enter the ring a slight favor ite. A month ago "The Lion'" would have been an odds on ringside fav orite to at least decision the cham pion, but tbe explosive right hand with which Peterson put Ray Mor gan out of contention two weeks ago earned the champ a recon structed rating In the ever-chang ing mood of bash boulevard. Peterson's Right Good Combating the left hook, with which Peterson had accomplished nearly all of his victories prior to the Morgan battle, was figured a cinch tor the swift-punching Tur ner. Bat when the champion bobbed up with a short right hand that carried knockout' authority, the boys began to wonder if even the terrific speed of tbe ex-Gold' en Gloves champ would be enough to keep the kayo cloat from land' ing. And so it is that Turner win have but a slight edge as the hoys go to the center of the ring for Referee McCoy's instructions to night. That previous win over the champion, coupled with the as tounding record compiled by the bolt of black lightning, can't be entirely submerged under the fact that Peterson will still be the champion at ring time.
