Champ Denies 'Race'
Charges by Reporter
Havre. Mont. lot Heavy
weight champion Floyd Patter
son denied today he told a Seat
tle Post-Intelligencer reporter
a group of Georgia men had
hoped to set up Pete Rademach
er as a "white hope."
Reporter Emmett Watson
quoted Patterson as saying in a
pre-fight interview that the
S250.000 guarantee he received
for the Rademacher fight could
be attributed to racial prejudice.
Watson quoted Patterson as
saying that in New York the
Georgia men "couldn't have rais
ed $250 for this kind of fight"
and that it couldn't have been
raised in any other place but
Georgia or the south.
Patterson charged that Watson
brought the racial issue up "be
cause he needed something to
write about."
"I did not say that Rademach
er was a "white hope' against
me and I at no time injected the
color bar," Patterson said dur
ing an interview from a train.
Patterson denied he made the
statement about, raising the mon
ey in New York.
"If the Georgia promoters
wished to raise the money in
New York," he said, "I have no
doubt they would have been able
to raise that amount ($250,000.)
The champ said he had read
the article and also denied a
statement attributed to him that
he "won't go any further south
than Philadelphia or maybe
Washington, D.C." if he beat
Rademacher up badly.
"I'm going to visit my wife's
family in Oklahoma in about
two weeks," Patterson said, "af
ter I rest and relax in New
York."

the ninth. It was Bunning's sixth
setback against 15 victories this
year. Lou Berberet homered for
the Nats, who snapped a three
