MedforivTribuke JPdDffiTTS Patterson, Jackson Collide Tonight in Heavyweight Ruckus By JACK CUDDY United Press Sports Writer New York (U.R) Young Floyd Patterson pits his speed, skill and punch against Tommy (Hurricane) Jackson's slapstick durability tonight in their heavy weight elimination fight at Madi son Square Garden. The winner probably will meet veteran Archie Moore for the vacant crown In September. Patterson of St. Albans, N.Y., boasting 16 straight victories and 11 straight knockouts, is favored at 2-1 to harness the Hurricane from Far Rockaway, N.Y., in this TV-radio 12-round-er. A crowd of 11,000 and a gate of $60,000 were forecast today by Harry Markson, managing director of the International Boxing Club. In ,'ldition, the TV-radio yield is $75,000. Each fighter is guaranteed at least $40,000. Most Impressir. Nimble, explosive Patterson, at 21, is the ring's most impres sive young heavyweight. The Olympic middleweight cham pion of 1952 has lost but one of Sports Broadcasts Television station KBES will carry the Floyd Patterson-Tommy . Jackson heavy weight title elimination bout at 6 o'clock longiht, the New York J Yankee-Cleveland In dians baseball game at 9:55 a.m. Saturday and the Palm y Beach golf tourney at noon Sunday. Radio station KMED also will bring tonight's heavyweight fight. Souchak Heads Palm Beach Golf New Rochelle, N.Y. (U.R) Muscular Mike Souchak of Gros singer, N.Y., out in front by just one point, set out to fatten his lead in the second round of the Palm Beach Round Robin Golf championship today against three luckless tail-enders who have yet to score a point. In the first of two rounds scheduled today, the burly for mer Duke footballer drew far easier opponents than his near est rivals in the field of 16, Bob Rosburg of San Francisco and Gene Littler of Singing Hills. Calif., who were tied for second at plus 14. Souchak, who hammered out a plus 15 score with a five un der par 67 despite a two-stroke penalty Thursday, was matched in the second round against Jackie Burke of Kiamesha Lake. N.Y., minus six, and young Fred Hawkins of El Paso, Tex., who made his round robin debut with a 79 and wound up as the goat at the bottom of the standings with minus 26. Rosburg's opponents were Fred Haas of New Orleans plus 7, Peter Thomson of Australia plus 6 and defending champion Sam Snead of White Sulphur Springs, W. Va., plus two. Less than one-seventh of America's people live on farms today. In 1850 almost two-thirds the population was found -on farmlands. ' In the early 1800's no newspa per had a circulation of 1,000. his 30 professional bouts and that one on a very questionable decision to ex-light heavyweight champion Joey Maxim. He reg istered 21 knockouts. Floyd would be favored at a much longer price than 2-1, had he been more thoroughly tested against heavyweight opposition. He met only four heavies, and he was shifted from the light heavy ranks to the heavy list only two months ago. Now he is ranked fourth. Lanky, long-armed Jackson, 24, is rated second.only one notch below veteran Archie Moore. Prancing Tommy master of the double upper cut with both fists simultane ously, the dangling arm defense, the perpetual motion flailing and other goofy techniques attained his high ranking by upsetting men who were sup posed to flatten him quickly. A Lighter Puncher Those victims included Dan Bucceroni, Rex Layne, Ezzard Charles and Bob Baker. He ap parently does not hit as hard. as Patterson, but his constant pum meling numbs them. He stopped 13 opponents while winning 27 of his 32 bouts. He suffered four defeats and was held to one draw. He was stopped once by Nino Valdes of Cuba for having been floored three times in one round. He and his handlers claimed each trip to the deck was caused by "slipping" and not by punches. Tall Tommy and frisky Floyd have met two mutual oppon ents heavyweights Jimmy Slade and Archie McBride and against them Patterson's per formances were the more im pressive. Floyd beat Slade twice, on a decision and a kayo (7). He knocked out McBride (7). But Jackson's three bouts with Slade resulted in two defeats and one victory, all by decisions And he won two verdicts over McBride. ' Allergy Hinders Bailey Workouts , Eugene (U.R) An allergy similar to hay fever has bother ed distance runner Jim Bailey this week and he hasn't had a satisfactory .workout since Mon day, Oregon track coach Bill Bowerman said today.
