gory title knockout over Roy
Harris, said today "I want to

feat in 23 bouts.
Floyd's victory before an es
timated 17,000 at Wrigley
Field was his 15th knockout

Coast League mound depart
ment last week.
Statistics through Sunday,
released today by league

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.
The young rider died Mon
day a few hours after he was
thrown from War Current
during a morning workout.
The managing director of
the Jockey's Guild, Bert
Thompson, said he felt the
use of safety helm'ets should
be made mandatory for work
outs as well as actual racing.
ENTERED IN BIG RACE
Chicago !TPD Clairborne
Farm's Nadir, top two-year-old
last year, has been placed as
a supplementary entry for the
Labor Day 5150,000 added
Washington Park Handicap.
Clairborne paid a $7,500 fee
so that Nadir can race against
Swoons Son, Round Table and
Clem.
in his last 16 fights. But he
was dissatisfied with his own
trip to the canvas in the sec
ond round and displeased be
cause his bleeding opponent
had survived four knock
downs. "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. They lost in
the last race of the day, for
top eliminator, to a Reno, Ne
vada, entry.
Noel Black, driver of his
supercharged "Skylark 220"
from Medford was forced out
of competition by mechani
cal troubles. For his efforts he
was awarded the hard-luck
trophy of the meet.
Drag races, sponsored by
SOTA, will be held this Sun
day, Aug. 14, at the Camp

There wasn't another golfer
today who begrudged blond
Bonnie Randolph her victory
in the $5,000 Heart of Amer

The other pros cheered
loudly Monday when Miss
Randolph sank an 18-foot

The other girls grabbed the

referring to next month's fight
between Sweden's unbeaten
Ingemar Johansson, European
champion, and Eddie Machen
of San Francisco, second-ranking
contender. 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.

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. That
