Heavyweight
Bout Called
Worst Thing
By DAN HANLLEY JR.
Milwaukee, Wis. IOT
Former heavyweight champion
Joe Louis said today the "worst
thing ever to happen to boxing"
will be the Aug. 22 meeting be
tween heavyweight title-holder
Floyd Patterson and Olympic
king Pete Rademacher for the
"championship of the world."
Louis, who holds a place in
the boxing "hall of fame," said
the bout "is the worst mismatch
in boxing history," out-doing
Patterson's first title defense
against Hurrican Jackson "for
bad matching."
Louis, who was the most vic
torious heavyweight title de
fender in history, said Patterson
was bringing "shame to his
crown" by agreeing to .fight the
28-year-old Rademacher, who'll
be making his professional debut
at Seattle.
Never Would Do It
"I would never have done a
think like that," said the Brown
Bomber of the 1940's, "and
neither would any other cham
pion in boxing."
"The National Boxing associa
tion should withdraw its recogni
tion of the Washington state box
ing commission," said Louis,
who is here to plug Mercury rec
ords. "The NBA will be a sorry
body cf men if they recbgnize
that fight."
Fred Saddy, chairman of the
NBA's rating committee, said
the association has "no right to
interfere with Washington's
state autonomy" in this matter.
"Besides." said Saddy. "if
Rademacher would accidentally
win. and it would have to be by
accident as far as I can see, the
NBA would look foolish by con
demning Washington's boxing
commission."
Lane Coach
At Lincoln
Portland IP) Leo Lane,
31, who has been head basket
ball and track coach at Pilot
Rock high school for the past
year, today .was named head
track coach at Lincoln high of
Portland, replacing Don Bryant
who resigned at the end of the
last season. Lane, a University
of Oregon graduate, had also
coached at Baker, Alsea and
Monmouth.
ed the Tigers to their opening
game victory over the Athletics.
Paul Foytack, lifted in the 8th
inning after Lou Skizas' homer,
won his 13th game as Kansas
City's fourth - game winning
screak came to an end.
Pinch Single Wins
Hector Lopez' 14th inning
pinch single gave the Athletics
the nightcap triumph. Lopez' hit
came off Jim Bunning, Detroit's
fourth pitcher, but rookie Bob
Shaw was the loser. Tom Mor
gan gained his eighth victory of
the year and third in four days.
Kaline and Skizas homered
again in the nightcap, and Vic
Power also hit a homer.
Lew Burdette batted in four
runs with two home runs to
help the Braves gain their 12th
victory in 14 meetings with the
Redlegs this year. Both of Bur
dette's homers came off loser
Joe Nuxhall, the second homer
coming with two men on in the
sixth inning to break a 4-4 tie.
Red Schoendienst and George
Crowe also hit homers.
No-Hit Relief
Ruben Gomez of the Giants
pitched no-hit ball over the last
six innings to beat the Dodgers
for the third time this season
and score his 13th victory of
the campaign. The Giants
knocked out starter Sal Maglie
in the third inning and then
snapped a string of 13 23 in
nings of scoreless relief innings
by Ed Roebuck when they push
ed over two runs in the fifth
inning. Charley Neal homered
for the Brooks.
Bill Mazeroski hit a two- run
homer for the Pirates and drove
in a total of four runs to help
Friend post his eighth victory
against 15 defeats. The only hits

some heavy sluggers and this
combination of chucking and
slugging should liven the eve
ning for fans. The Cheney crew
has been outstanding for its
extra-base rapping this seeason.
Prominent among the Sox hit
ters is massive Ron Bowen who
has homered in three of the
clubs.
Drain this year has played
an independent schedule while
Medford has been a member of
the Rogue Valley league. The
Black Sox are currently in the
Oregon tournament of the Amer
ican Amateur Baseball congress
and are one of the favorites in
that play-off.
Adding to the flavor of to
night's ruckus is traditional
rivalry. The teams were foes
in the former Southwestern Ore
gon league and in the suspended
Southern Oregon league, which
it is hoped will be revived in
1958.
Medford is the unbeaten lead
er in the RVL and will attempt
to end the regular league slate
with a clean record next Sun

here.
Boxer's Decision Miffs Promoter
Portland W Promoter
Tommy Moyer left no doubt to
day that he was miffed at heavy
weight Pat McMurtry's decision
to remain in Tacoma to train
for his Saturday 'night bout
against Carl (Bobo) Olson at
Portland Meadows.
Clarence McMurtry, Pat's
father, and manager, sent word
that his son would remain in Ta
coma to train for the postponed
bout, despite urging by Portland
Boxing commisison officials to
return here.
Moyer said that if McMurtry
trained here he could help boost
interest, and thus attendance, at
the iight. "What's the matter
with the guy," he -said. "I guar
anteed him $10,000 with a privi
lege of 25' per cent and he won't
even come down here to help us
set a new attendance record."
