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."

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.
