o Stiident Plays 144 Holes As Mercury Hits 112 Phoenix, Ariz. "? Frpnk Rostock, one of Phoenix's better amateur golfers, ran and walk ed 144 holes of golf Monday un der a scorching sun in 12 hours and 47 minutes and posted a re marable average score of 74 strokes p"r round. When Bostock teed off at 4:35 a m , the temperature was 75 degrees. The mercury rose to 112 Fighter Eyes Olson Next San Francisco IP Pat Mc Murtry, freh from a victory over Howard King but barely flattened by kid heat wave, said today he was ready to take on Carl Eobo Olson next in Port land. The 187-pound Tacoma Irish man outpointed the bleeding King 192, in a 10-round battle Monday night which ended with King closing fast while McMur try visibly wilted in the 80-de-gree heat which bathed the Civic Auditorium. '"The heat really wore me down at the end," McMurtry said, after agreeing that the vet eran from Reno had put on a staunch rally in the final rounds. That wasn't enough to turn the tide, however. All three officials scored it for McMurtry. Judge Jack Silver saw it 97-94, Judge Eddie James 99-95 and Referee Frankie Carter 96-95. The United Press saw it in King's favor, 98-97. McMurtry was a 3-1 fav orite. It marked McMurtry's 25th tri umph in 27 fight. He wis held to a draw in one bout nd lost an other to Willi Putrano last year. before Bostock finished and his last four rounds were played in 100-plus temperatures. "I don't know whether the 144 holes is a record for one day of play, said the 30-year-old for : mer Arizona State College ath lete, ' but I'll bet no one has play ed that many rounds any faster than I did today, especially the first five rounds which I ran through. I also doubt that any one has posted a better score for that many holes." Bostock. who plyed the eight round, 48.800 yard Wigwam Country Club course according to U.S. Golf Association rules, racked up scores of 74-75-68-69-75-75-80-77 in the par 71 lay out. "I've only been golfing four years I have a one handicap," said Bostock. ' The reason I did this was because I had heard about other golfers trying a mar athon and I thought I would see what I could do." BYHD RECALLED Detroit W The Detroit Tigers have recalled veteran right hander Harry Byrd from Charleston and optioned rookie pitcher John Tsitouris to the same American Association team. Byrd formerly pitched w!th the Athletics, Yankees and White Sox. FIGHT RESULTS: By tnlted Pri Paris.

Hogan Kid Bas sey of Nigeria planned a world tour today to defend his newly won world featherweight title against all comers. He became the first Nigerian world champion Monday night by stopping Frenchman Cherif Hamia of Algeria in the 10th round, after climbing twice off the canvas himself before 18,000 at Palais des Sports. They fought for the 126-pound crown left vacant by American Sandy Saddler's retirement last March because of an eye injury Manager George Biddies said SPORTS Tuesday, June 23, 1957 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL BTBTJt SLEVEX Sport Parade By OSCAR FRALEY Sports Writer United Press today, "we have offers for fights in so many countries, we are planning a world tour after Bassey takes a holiday with his young wife."

Hamia, Euro pean champion and top con tender, was favored at 7-5 over Bassey, British Empire champ and winner of an elimination tourney. New York W The an-1 nouncement that Olympic cham pion Pete Rademacher would be Floyd Patterson's next heavy weight title opponent, after he disposes of Hurricane Jackson shapes up as boxing's biggest hoax or its most dismal dis grace. The feeling here is that it must be a publicity gag to gath er a bit of free print for the impending "fight of the century' between Patterson and the zephyr from Tar Rockaway They just couldn't be serious. The next thing you'll be hear ing as the tom-toms thunder in old-time abandon is that Patter son saved somebody from drown ing and that Jackson captured a wild bear single-handed, mean ing that he didn't even need both of them. Team for Free. Because you not only could obtain Rademacher for the al leged S250.000 guarantee but ! rr1A Ctat $ViA T-rtc-t -. 4Un U. S. Oympic boxing team thrown in for free on such a deal. To think of throwing Rade macher in against Patterson is like stopping a berserk elephant with a champagne cork. Give poor Pete a meat cleaver in each hand and I'll still lay you 10 to 5 he wouldn't last three heats Even his Olmypic manager, Mike Holt, had but few kind words for Rademacher before the young giant surprised every one, including himself, by win ning the heavyweight title at the Australian camps. Hnlt harried head when Rademacher was mentioned, admitted that the lad could punch somewhat, but implied sadly that the chin was strictly from China. Guarantee Dead Giveaway All of which makes Jack Hur ley's announcement, that he would post a S250.000 guarantee on a Rademacher-Patterson fighi a dead giveaway as a publicity buildup for the Jackson bout This is the ancient maestro's manner of paying off Gus D'Am ato, Patterson's manager, for naming Hurley the West Coast promoter of and if - and - when title bout in those precincts. They must be readying the most colossal fraud of all time if they actually mean to try to put the 29-year-old Rademacher, a pro-novice, in against Patter son. Hurley, D'Amato et al can be laughed at for this comic sug gestion. But if they're serious, they ought to be shot.
