Four-Baser Disputed
By JIM HEAl.v
United Press Sports Writer
The Mounties from Vancouver :
hacked another game off San
Francisco's dwindling Pacific '
Coast league lead Wednesday i
night. . !
And unless the Seals unlimber
their big guns, they are going
una themselves in secondJ
Place before the end of the
week, what with the Mounties
only three games out.
Vancouver moved nearer the
leadership by dumping San
Francisco 4-2, while San Diego
took its fourth straight from
Seattle, 5-2. In other loop con
tests, Los Angeles downed Hol
lywood 3-1, while Portland came
back after four straight losses
to whip Sacramento 5-4.
It was the third straight for
Vancouver over the leaders.
Morrie Martin won his 13th of
the year against three defeats,
and Jim Marshall scored his
19th homer for the winners,
breaking the 0-0 tie in the sixth.
Owen Friend tripled twice for
Vancouver, batting in one run
and scoring another himself. The
only Seal runs came in the
eighth when Tom Umphlett
singled in Harry Malmberg and
Ed Sadowski.
In San Diego, the Rainiers
jumped off to an early one run
lead, adding its last tally in the
top of the seventh. In the bot
tom of that frame, San Diego
let go with a three run splurge
that put them out in front. They
added two more in the eighth
to cinch it. Jim Grant won his
sixth consecutive contest in go
ing the distance and is now 12-5.
Ked Munger, 6-8. was handed
the loss.
Ls Angeles collected two of
its runs just enough for the
win on homers by Steve Bilko
and newcomer Earl Battey. For
Bilko, it was his 38th of the
season, while it was Battels sec-

Cuppers hope to settle down to

encing a wave of opening round
jitters in the 76th Newport Ca

SomeQf the tourney's biggest
entries, including top-seeded
Aussie Ashley Cooper, had to
turn on the steam to beat off
the upset bids of relatively un
knowns in the otherwise routine
first round.
Cooper won by default in the
first round. He won his second
round match but not until Syd

Rademacher-Patterson Mix
History Maker No Matter
What Its Result May Be
By RAY ANDREWS
Seattle, Wash. 0P Pete
Rademacher is quite a salesman.
He has arranged a prize fight
guaranteed to go down in ring
history whatever the outcome.
Pete also must be somewhat
of a Walter Mitty. He has never
been in the professional ring in
his life he has only seen two
pro fights, but a week from
Thursday he will square off
with the heavyweight champion
of the world.
Something of the philantropist
is in Rademacher, too. For while
champ Floyd Patterson is guaran
teed $250,000 just to put on the
gloves, the chances are good
Rademacher won't make a
penny unless he wins and be
comes champion.
That is not likely. So perplex
ed are bookmakers at the spec
tacle of this 28-year-old amateur
taking on the world's best that
"any of them wont lay any
odds. They cannot recall a
precedent unless it be the Fourth
of July 34 years ago when Jack
Dempsey almost made a ghost
town of Shelby, Mont.
Will Survive Fight
Seattle will probably survive
the fight Aug. 22, but a group of
Columbus, Ga., businessmen al
most certainly will drop a quar
ter million dollars. How they
were persuaded to put it up is a
story in itself.
Rademacher is not a pro but
he did win the Olympic title at
Melbourne last year. And he
feels that he is good enough to
get in the ring with the champ,
notwithstanding warnings from
as far away as London where a
boxing writer foresaw the end
of the fight game.
Rademacher laughts at the
ridicule.
"Everybody in camp seems to
hp trvin to Drotect me from the
wisecrack being made about the
fight," he says. "They edit tne
paper for me. All I get is the
front page and the funnies, inen
They even cut out Joe Palooka.
They don t want me to reaa any
thing about boxing. But I know
what people are saying and it
rolls off me.
"I go into every fight, I don't
care how bie he is or how rough
he is, with the idea of being re
laxed.
Conservative and Quiet
Rademacher is a conservative.
quiet person. He wears a gray
flannel suit nicely and speaKs
with intelligence on most sub
jects. What's left of his balding
hair is closely cropped and he
could be taken for a junior exe
cutive or a nrofessor. He weights
212 pounds, stands six feet, two
and one-half incnes.
He is married and the father of
a two-year-old daughter. He
dreamed of becoming a baseball
player and did play college foot
ball before going into amateur
boxing.
Rademacher was born in Tie-
ton, Wash., a wee town 18 miles
west of Yakima. For nine vears
he attended grade school in Tie-
ton, then his rancher latner sent
him to Castle Heights Military
academy in Tennessee. After his
first year there he contracted
rheumatic fever.
"I thought I never would re
cover from that, he says, l
spent four months in bed and
rested for a whole year. But
finally I whipped it and went on
to participate fully in athletics.
I've been perfectly healthy ever
since."

may be a sentimental reason for
choosing Seattle for his first pro
