Saddler Retains Featherweight Mantle in Scuffle With Eiorde By SCOTT BAILLIE San Francisco U.P.) Sandy Saddler, who never will receive a good sportsmanship award, strutted into his seventh year as the world featherweight cham pion today while irate fans jeered in vain. The little Pier Six brawler from New York- City defended his crown Wednesday night by scoring a technical knockout over Flash Eiorde of the Philip pines when the contest was halted in the 13th round because of the islander's bleeding left eye. As soon as the bout was over the Cow Palace switchboard was flooded by long distance tele phone calls from television fans protesting the champ's tactics.

Eiorde, who spent a good part of the night trying to keep his face away from Saddler's grind ing head, began to bleed from the mouth in that heat. Eiorde, fighting with typical Filipino courage began to look his best after he complained in the fourth and sixth rounds about being butted and held. After registering his second protest, Eiorde sailed into the champion with a barrage of lefts and rights that sent Saddler des perately retreating to the ropes. Six hard lefts caught Saddler during this assault. Then in the ninth he turned Saddler's nose into a fountain with a series of lefts and rights. But the champ's seconds plugged this at the bell and Eiorde began to fade after that. The Garners, said to be one of the finest trampoline duos in America, have achieved an am bition traveling with the cele brated Harlem Globetrotters basketball team as an accomp-, anying added attraction.
