Jockey's Guild Urges Use of Safety Helmets Del Mar, Calif. d'PD A movement to make the wear ing of safety helmets manda tory while exercising horses received impetus today from the death of apprentice jockey Ralph (Rjsd) Polichio, 21, fa tally injured when thrown from his mount and kicked in the head.

Clairborne paid a $7,500 fee so that Nadir can race against Swoons Son, Round Table and Clem. in his last 16 fights.

"I want to get busy now," said the 23-year-old champion. Manager Agrees "That's right," agreed man ager Cus D'Amato. "And our next defense may be for pn moter Harry Levene in Lon don. We've given him our j word we'll fight for him if there's a good European chal lenger. It looks as if there'll be a good one over there soon." Apparently D'Amato was set at the 1957 National drag races held in Oklahoma City by Leroy Mackay from Cor pus Christi, Texas. Club members and South ern Oregon Timing associa tion officials thought Zombie had bettered the national mark several weeks ago with a speed of 109.58 mph., how ever, they did not know of the Mackay record at that time. A recent publication of all present records lists the na tional record being held by Leroy Mackay. - Another SOTA entry, the Roberts-Mickle dragster from Ashland won the "B" Dragster class trophy with a speed in excess of 125 mph. at the Redding meet.

D'Amato is re ported to believe Johansson will win the fight at Goteborg, Sweden, and be available as challenger. Manager Cus dissatisfied with the gates Patterson has drawn in his three American defenses, wants a big one now; and he believes London is the place to get it away from the alleged influence of the International Boxing club. Asks Bout Be Stopped "I've got to keep busy to keep sharp," said the un marked champion who had given Harris such a battering that his own trainer, Bill Gore, asked referee Mushy Callahan to stop the bout when the ac tion was finished in the 12th round but before the bell could start the 13th. Callahan waved his arms in mid-ring, signaling the bout was over. He announced it was a "knockout" in the 12th round. Under California rules, when a bout is stopped to save a fighter from further punish ment it is a kayo not a tech nical kayo. ... At that time the 25-year-old challenger was bleeding pro fusely from the nose and from cuts on his right brow, his right temple, nose bridge and left eyelid. ' - ' '" - ' ' ' Harris made a brave stand against the champion from Mt. Vernon, '- N. Y., but he was outgunned. Patterson's right hand smashes to the body be gan to weaken him as early as the third round. -Down Four Times A right to the chin put Har ris down for the count of eight in the seventh. A left-right combination dropped him for ''seven" and a right for "three" in the eighth.. Another right to the chin floored him for "nine" in the 12th. And a smashing left hook sent him reeling across the ring, just before the bell ended action in the 12th. '. . , The champion may receive more than his guaranteed $210,000 through his percent age provisos, because a late surge of fans to Wrigley Field provided an estimated gate of $200 000 and early reports from the Teleprompter Cor poration indicated theater-TV receipts at 151 theaters in 133 cities would approximate one million dollars. Harris will receive a flat guaranteed' $100,000 for his battering. The 6-1 underdog was far behind when the bout was stopped. Mushy Callahan fa vored Patterson, 117-97. Judge Tommy Hart agreed, 117-98; likewise, judge Frankie Van, 108-1Q2. Van gave Harris two rounds, the first and second. The United Press Internation al gave him only the second. It was Patterson's 34th vic tory in 35 fights and his 25th knockout. WHO PITCHED SERIES' ONLY PERFECT GAME? n the 5 game of the i356 World Series, Yank.

MedfordWTmbune IS M fat, i4l ."3 i tat By SYD LOVE United Press International Phoenix fl'PD Vickie Palmer packs her tennis rack et into San Diego Wednesday into the old stomping grounds of Maureen Connolly Brinker. Boosters of the 13-year-old freckle-faced Phoenix young ster claim Miss Palmer will equal Little Mo's feat of be coming the world's greatest tennis player while still a teen-ager. Just half-way past her 13th ! birthday, the Palmer bomber ' already is America's greatest I player under 16. Her pro coach former southwest sin gles champ Barney Judson says Vickie can duplicate Mrs. Brinker's triumphs at Forest Hills while 16 and at Wimbledon while 17. Ten months' ago she took a 6-2 set from Louise Brough, third-ranking U.S. women's player, in between 6-2, 6-0 whippings. Two months later on her 13th birthday Miss j Palmer took a set from Bev erly Baker Fleitz, another ranking netter. So the handwriting is on the wall. Back to Grammar School Vickie will compete against girls 15 and under and 18 and under in San Diego. Then she will go to Santa Monica, Calif., Saturday to compete against women f and against girls 18 and under. The events will be her last out-of-state competitions bef or e returning to classes at St. Francis Xavier grammar school- in Phoenix Judson believes Miss Palm er "definitely" can win the U.S. women's crown at For est Hills when she is 16. "To become a champion," he said, "there are certain things a youngster can't get from a teacher. Vickie has those attributes: courage, de termination, a love for the game, and the uncanny ability to play the right shots." Judson said Vickie places the ball with the net savvy of a 10-year veteran. "She just needs more tour nament experience," he said. "She'll be a great one." A Daring Shot-Maker He said she plays the net more than most girls, always tries daring shots to put her opponent on the defensive. ) The perky, fiye-foot four inch Miss" Palmer became the youngest to win the girls 15-and-under USLTA title this summer when she took the crown at Middleton, Ohio. She is a sun-bleached blonde who competed in her first na tional tourney a USLTA event when she was 10.
