Just when everyone begins
thinking the Braves have hit
the skids, up pops Lew Eur-dette'-
and that's all, brother!
No questions but that Mil

When the San Francisco Gi

Tuesday to aid their ineffec

passed Che Pacific Coast
league's top hurler.
Never was that more appar
ent than Tuesday night when
22-year-old Eddie Fisher
tossed a brilliant one-bitter
against the Portland Beavers
to register his 10th win of the
season.
The Oklahoma university
graduate, who is a bookkeeper
in the off-season, came within
two outof tossing a nhitter.

id double to centerfield in the
ninth.
Fisher, 6-14, 200 pounds,
struck out seven, walked
three. Phoenix won, 6-0.
If the big league Giants are
reluctant to bring up Fisher
it is probably only because
they want to move him along
gradually and prevent any
shattering of confidence. Last
season, freshman Fisher had a
11-7 mark for Corpus Christi
in the Texas league after join
ing the club in June.
In other PCL action Tues-f
day night, San Diego and Van

ers for Sacramento's first
place position, both lost. The
Padres were beaten by Spo

ped the Mounties, 4-1.
Rain postponed the Solon
game at Seattle and the Sacra
mento club now holds a two
and a half game edge over
San Diego and a three game
margin over Vancouver.
A crowd of 14,768 watched

Ex-Champ
By JACK CUDDY
Grossingers, N.Y.-flUD-Dip-
lomatic Jack Dempsey gave
off platitudes Joday, about
"challenger Ingemar Johans
son: "He's strong and rugged.
He's got a good left, etc." : .
But the expression on the
old Manassa Mauler's Apache
like face as he watched the
reluctant Swede go round af
ter round without throwing
the $100,000 punch was one
of brow -knitting bewilder
ment. Close circuit television of
Patterson world heavyweight
title boxing bout on June 25
will be seen at the Craterian
theatre here. Tickets are now
on sale at the theatre. There
will be no home TV of the
bout. '.
And the features of pro
moter Bill Rosensohn, a slen
der Lincolnesque young man,
and Irving B. Kahn, rotund
theatre-TV tycoon, seemed to
sag.
One punch! Just one explo
sive right to the head for a
knockdown! Only that would
have been needed to send
Dempsey into an ecstasy of
admiration-and to bring sun
bursts of delight to Rosen
sohn and Kahn-and to add
the Yankee Stadium gate on
June 25.
Acid Test June 25
That's the night when un
beaten Ingemar will try to
wrest the world heavyweight
championship from Floyd Pat
terson.
But the knockdown punch
never came during Johans
son's seven rounds of sparring
in the jammed ski lodge here
Tuesday afternoon. Not one of
the four sparmates was even
staggered or knocked back
onto his heels.'
Dempsey, the most tigerish
of all heavyweight champions
the baleful belter who
couldn't "pull" a punch even
in training-sat there at the
ringside, frankly puzzled.
Those seven rounds com
pleted a total of 151 sparred
since the champion of Eu
rope arrived in the United
States-and as yet he hasn't
scored a knockdown. Were
Ingemar a light-hitting fancy-
dan boxer that no-knockdown
record might cause little com
ment. Most Dangerous Right
But the burly 198-pound
Swede is supposed to possess
the most dangerous right
thunderbolt in the, heavy
weight division. . During his
21 straight professional vic
tories, he scored 13 knock-outs-mostly
with, the right
fist.
And his most impressive
performance was in his last
fight, Sept. 14, when he
knocked out Eddie Machen of
Redding, Calif., in the first
round at Goteborg, Sweden
flooring him three times. Ma
chen then was the world's
top-rated contender".
"I'll throw it against Pat
terson," Johansson declared.
"That's what I'm training for.
It's the way I've always train
ed. For me it's the successful
way-the winning way, and I
won't change it for this im
portant fight, no matter what
anyone says."

Unknowns
Help Casper
Get His Start
San Francisco (DPD Billy
Casper swings the clubs that
won the all-important Nation
al' Open golf championship,
but a couple of unknowns
named Dick Haas and Russ
Corey of San Diego can take
the bows for putting the ex
sailor where he is today.
When Casper got out of
Uncle Sam's Navy in 1955 he
didn't have two dimes to rub
together. But he was a spec
tacular shotmaker.
So Corey and Haas, after
watching his spectacular shot
making, decided to finance
him on the tournament tour.
For about half of his re
ceipts they would keep him in
hamburgers, pay his caddy
fees, transportation, entrance
fees, etc., while he was on the
tour. They would give him
three years in which to make
good. The expenses eventual
ly ran to , about $1,000 per
month.
Success From The Start
"But it was a financial suc
cess right from the start," Cas
per recalled a short time back.
"I was lucky and, although
not winning right away, ended
up in the money."
The agreement worked out
so well for all concerned that
it was kept in effect until last
year, when Billy decided he
could make it alone. ,
Most years during the con
tract, Casper's earnings were
high. Last year, they hit offi
cial and unofficial $58,000.
"It may have cost me some
thing," says Casper, "but if it
wasn't for these men, I never
would have got on the road at
all."
