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.

at 21, is the ring's most impres

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. '
