New York ID floyd Pat
terson, youngest ot hfcyweiht
champions, bjumed "ring rust"
today for his belated technical
knockout over Tommy Hurri
cane Jackson in his first defense
of the crown.
"I should have put him away
early for the full count instead
of letting him last for a TKO in
the 10th." said the 22-year-old
champ, who stretched his win
ning string to 19 straight before
18.101 at the Polo Grounds.
"But I hadn't fought in eight
months since winning the title
against Archie Moore and I
was rusty."
He promised, 'I'm going to de
fend the title three or four times
a year to keep rust away, start
ing with Pete Rademachcr next
month."

the gate was disappointing be
cause of the threat of bad weath
er yesterday and the long betting
odds."
The gross gate was only $187,
718 and the net gate $161,367.
There were only 13.305 cash cus
tomers in the Giants' ball park.
Although Lence received
$175,000 from TV-radio the
same amount he had guaranteed
Patterson he doubtless lost
money on his first venture into
big-time promotion. Before the
fight, he had stated he needed a
gross gate of at least $200,000
to break even.
Jackson, fighting for 20 per
cent of all net receipts including
TV-radio will get about $67,270
for his beating.

A caosule description of Mon
day night's heavyweight cham
pionship fight:
Round 1. Patterson staggered
Jackson with a left hook and a
right cross, then drew blood
from the challenger's note, with
a two-handed attack. Tha cham
pion dropped Jackson with a
right for no-count at tha bell.
Round 2. Patterson again
floored Jackson for a six-count
with a jolting right and al
though the challenger tried to
retaliate, Patterson shook him
with rights and lefts lata in the
round.
Round 3. Jackson's nose con
tinued bleeding. Patterson calm
ly waited for openings and
scored with sharp lefts to the
head and rights to the body.
Round 4. Tha challenger at
tempted to press tha attack but
in a toe-to-toe exchange Patter
son scored with a series of com
binations that staggered Jackson
again.
Round 5. Midway in the round.
Patterson hurt Jackson with a
straight right to tha body. Tha
challenger rocked Patterson
with a right to the chin but tha
champion rallied to win tha
round by a clear margin.
Round 6. Patterson connected
with a left to tha head and a
right cross to the jaw that
stopped Jackson in his tracks.
Jackson stayed in close and took
a beating through most of tha
round.
Round 7. In one of his best
rounds. Patterson pe p p a r a d
Jackson with left jabs to the
chin, then shook him with a
right to the chin. The challenger
was almost out on his feet at lh
bell.
Rund 8. Patterson brought
blood streaming from Jackson's
nose with repeated lefts and
rights to tha head. The champion
pummeled Jackson as if he were
a punching bag.
Round 9. Jackson continued to
move in but was floored by a
whistling right to the chin for
a four-count. Jackson bounced
back up and tried to counter. His
left eye was swollen almost
shut as the round ended.
Round 10. Referee Ruby Cold
stein inspected Jackson between
rounds. The challenger scored
an overhand right, one of his
best punches of the fight. Then
Patterson launched an all-out
two-fisted attack that jarred
Jackson's head from side to side.
Goldstein stepped in and stopped
the fight at 1:52 of tha 10th
round.
Seattle Guarantee Biggsr
The poker-faced youngster
who floored Jackson three times
and battered him into a helpless,
bloody wreck, said he would be
delighted to defend next against
Olympic champion Rademacher,
an amateur, at Seattle, Wash.,
on Aug. 22.
He'll get a gurantee of $250,
000 for that defense. He re
ceived only a $173,000 guaran
tee for his lopsided blasting of
Jackson, who wasn't credited
' with a single round by referee
Kuby Goldstein, the two judges
or the United Press.
Despite his claims of rust, Pat
terson weighing 184 pounds to
Jackson's 192Vj was much
more impressive Monday night
than he was 13 months ago,
when he had to be content with
a split 12-round decision over
the "iron man" from St. Albans,
N. Y. But Patterson had suffered
a fractured right hand in the
fifth round of that first Jackson
fight. Today he was unmarked
and uninjured.
Promoter Lost Money
Little Emil Lence. the first
independent promoter to stage a
heavyweight title fight in 20
years, hoped to use Patterson in
two or three more defenses in
New York perhaps one or two
in a big armory during the cold
months.
Dress manufacturer Lence
said, 'I have established a beach-

Canadian Brand of Ball
Brought to Portland Soon
By FLOYD PATTERSON
World Heavyweight Champion
As Told to United Press
New York W He didn't
hurt me. He didn't mark me.
But that Hurricane Jackson is
as game as they come.
I wanted to win this fight for
all of the people who believed
in me, including myself. And
I thought I was winning it all
the way. -
You ask me, did Tommy win
any rounds-arid I'll ask you fel
lows who saw the fight did
you think he won any rounds?
I thought I had him all the time,
but he sure wouldn't go down.
I thought he was hurt and it
wouldn't have surprised me if
they had stopped the fight be
fore they did.
One Good Punch
He had one good fighting
punch. It was an uppercut,
whenever he landed. I think he
was stronger, too, than when
I fought him the last time. Be
cause I know I was a lot stronger
myself in this fight and he
would have folded up if he
hadn't been stronger himself.
Yes, he kept talking to me
in the ring. He kept saying,
' Come on and fight, you bum,
you" and I just kept right on
giving him everything I had.
And he kept right on taking it.
He seemed to want to keep
on fighting at the finish when
the referee called it off. But I
think he would have gotten hurt
if we had kept on going.
It could have been a very
fhort fight, too. I thought I had
him knocked out in the first
round. But the bell saved him.
Funny thing to me about the
fight was that as it went on it
seemed Jackson was easier to
hit and I knew I kept hitting
him more often. But he just
wouldn't go down.
Concentrated on Head
He kept throwing punches,
too. But as the rounds went on
I thought his punches became
weaker and weaker.
And I kept concentrating on
his head, trying to land a blow
that would stagger him. One
thing that impressed me about
him, he is not as easy to hit in
the body as he appears to be. So
that was why I kept going for
his head.
Now I'm going right back into
training again to fight Pete
Rademacher on August 22.
There won't be any vacation. I
want to keep on fighting to
build up a good name for box
ing. Who do I think is the logical
contender now? Well. I feel that
Rademacher is as good as any
other. Personally, I don't care.
I just want to fight as often as
I can.
I want to be a fighting cham
pion. And I think I started to
prove tonight that I am.

San Francisco W Cana
dians "sold" United States on
the game of hockey and next
month some ambitious young
men from Vancouver, B.C., set
out to sell the Canadian game
of 12-man football to Americans.
The Grey Cup champion Ed
monton Eskimoes and the Van
couver Lions of the Canadian
league will play Canadian foot
ball in Portland, Ore., next Fri
day at 8:30 p.m. in Multnomah
stadium; and in San Francisco
Aug. 11.
This is one of the few times
the Canadian brand of the game
ever has been put on display in
this country although a couple
of years ago the Eastern Cana
dian games were telecast on a
U. S. network.
The Canadians firmly believe
that their brand of the game is
far superior to that of the 11
man Amercan style. It is faster,
more wide-open, there's more
room to maneuver on the big
field, they claim.
Dick Diespecker of the Lions
advances the opinion that Ameri
cans will like the game more
than their own once they get
the hang of it.
"For instance, there are five
men in the backfield, and all
five can be in motion at once
without penalty," he says. "And
most of the time all are in mo
tion before the ball is snapped.
No Fair Catch
"Then, there is' no such thing
as a 'fair catch' on a punt or
kick-off in the Canadian game.
The' would-be tacklers have to
stay five yards away from the
receiver until he catches the ball
then the receiver must try to
run with it."
The field for the Canadian
game is 15 yards wider, 10 yards
longer and has 25-yard end zones
compared with the 10-yard end

PGA President Harry Moffitt
said Middlecoff and Demaret
are not eligible because of a rule
which requires that golfers par
ticipate in the last two PGA
championships to be eligible for
the Ryder Cup team. Neither
Middlecoff nor Demaret played
in this year's championship,
Middlecoff did not enter and
Demaret cancelled out at the
last minute because, he said, "36
holes in one day is just too much
for me."
Both would have made the
team on a point basis in cup

Delaney Avenges
Mile Defeat
Dublin (W Ron Delany of
Ireland has avenged his recent
defeat by British star Derek
Ibbotson, but neither runner
could approach Ibbotson's new
mile record of 3:57.2.
Delany, the Olympic 1,500
meter champion who finished
second to Ibbotson in his record
run at London on July 19, turn
ed the tables here Monday by
coming from behind to win in
a homestretch duel.
Because of the soft condition
of the track after a heavy over
night rain, Delany was timed in

slower than the Irish record he
holds. .Ibbotson was timed in

zone for the American game.
Against our six points for a
touchdown and one point after,
the Canadians score six for a
touchdown and one point after,
and additionally they have a
score called "rouge" which is
good for one point.
"The rouge is the most thrill
ing part of the game," says Dies
pecker. "When the ball is kicked
into our 25-yard end zone, 't
must be run out. If the ball
carrier is tackled before he gets
to the goal line, it is a rouge."
Have Many Americans
"We have the 'Mr. Football'
of Canada playing for the Es
kimoes" says Diespecker. "That's
Jackie Parker, the former Mis
sissippi State quarterback. I
think he draws around $20,000
per season for the Edmonton
club and is worth every bit of
it."
Among the other American
names on the Edmonton roster
are Frank Anderson and Curt
Burris of Oklahoma; and John
ny Bright of Drake. Americans
on the Vancouver team include
backs Paul Cameron and Primo
Villaneuva of UCLA; and Emory
Barnes, the University of Ore
gon high jumper.
The Vancouver club has been
in business only three years
and the first season lost 15 out
of 16 games but the team
never has lost money, says Diespecker.
