In tha fol lowing dispatch, writtan ex clusively for United. Press International, he tells why he hopes Johansson will ex tend Patterson to the limit. By CUS D'AMATO r Banff er. World Heavyweight Champion Floyd Patterson Written for UPI Chatham, N. J. - (CPU - I confidently expect Ingemar Johansson to give Floyd Pat terson the; fight of his life next Thursday night. I hope he does. 4 That may sound like a strange statement for Patter son's manager to make, but I have my reasons. For I hap pen to believe, as I have said many times, that Floyd is destined to be remembered as ene of e greatest champions of all time. But I realize that the only way for Floyd to convince his detractors is to overcome the strongest possible opposition and to do it so thoroughly that they will have to eat their critical and disparaging fjords. Johansson's record says he ig that kind of opposition. He i unanimously ranked the Vg. 1 contender, he is unde feated and he certainly has to have a potent knockout punch to have stopped fel lows like Eddie Machen and Henry Cooper. I have read all the com ments about Johansson fail " Ing to use his right hand against his sparring partners. I know there has been some foolish criticism of his train ing methods and some impli v cation that, he is a playboy instead of a serious boxer. These statements are un just to Johansson, and they may be very unwise. In fact, I expect the criticism will arouse this concientious Swed ish boy, who has a lot of na tional as well as personal pride, and make him all the tougher against Patterson. Jones Will Pitch, Giants Meet Pirates San Francisco (UPD - Sam Jones, speed balling right hander with an 8-6 record, will play the key role tonight when the . San Francisco : Giants take on the slugging Pittsburgh Pirates in the sec ond game of a three tilt se ries. If Jones can show anything resembling the form display ed Monday by rookie Eddie, Fisher in humbling the Pi rates, 4-1,' then the, Giants' mound staff will be at its peak strength of the year. Opposing - Jones on the mound for the. Pirates will be Vern Law, who has a 7-4 rec ord. The Giants showed remark able recuperative powers in flaying a perfect defensive game against Pittsburgh after their 13-3 shellacking at the hands of Milwaukee the night before. They gavefoung Fish er some of the finest defense of the year-featuring first baseman Orlando Cepeda and . right fielder Willie Kirkland. And the bench came to life with a bang at the plate. Giant coaches Wes : West- rum and Bill Posedel and He gan agreed that Fisher who came here from Phoenix with a 10-4 record in the Pacific Coast league looked a lot like : 1YM3Y Ipl Ha wmmaam ssasv rnmm - mH II 1 II , :I 'J. -.rir-im-.r wnw ' - ii ii n ii ii GENUINE GOURMAGH HOWL lU I RU CO.. UKIISVUE. IT.. KSTEWTB IT: MTICIUL BiSTOUBS WSIiCIS tOHrMT, I was glad to read in an interview the other day that Gene Tuney has much the same views I do about Jo hansson's training methods. Tunney said that Johansson's first-round knockout of Ma chen, and the way he punishes the heavy bag with his right are far more important evi dence than any knockdowns he could score against his sparring partners. J do not think that people realize that Johansson has been a professional fighter for about the same length of time as Floyd has, and that he is no novice when it comes to training. Like Floyd, he is an intelligent fighter, and he knows the method of train ing that is best for him. It certainly has paid off for him in bringing him up the ladder to a fight with Patterson for championship. I have been quoted as won dering if Johansson could be having some secret workouts, and I do not rule out that possibility. After all, it has been done before, and it might be that he is using that means to sharpen up his right hand without revealing just how he throws it or how devastating it is. More likely, though, I think Johansson may be trying to use some psychology on us. Maybe he is trying to get Pat terson so worried about the "mystery" right that he will forget to watch out for some thing else. If so, Johansson is wasting his time. As you know, Floyd does not care to know what his opponent is "expected" to do. He realizes that the only thing you really can expect in the ring is the unexpected, and he feels that the best way he can meet any opponent is with an open mind. As a manager, I naturally like to find out all I can about- an opponent, particu larly by studying the movies, since I trust my own eyes further than even the best intentioned advice. But what I may see or think I see is relatively unimportant. . After all, once Floyd goes into the ring he is alone. He has to fight his own fight and Early Wynn in his delivery. The Pirates agreed that the rookie was good. "That kid has a lot of fine stuff," said third baseman Don Hoak. Smokey Burgess said that Fisher tossed only a couple of knucklers to him. Fisher went seven innings before being taken out for a pinch hitter. During his time on - the mound, he allowed only three hits, all singles. One came in the first inning and two hits in the top of the seventh brought in the lone Pirate run. Then the Giants went to work on Pirate starter Ronnie Kline. Jackie Brandt led off with a double. Andre Rodgers struck out but Dusty Rhodes, pinch hitting for Hegan, sin gled Brandt to third. . Jackie scored a moment later on a wild pitch. Fisher was supposed to come to the plate next. So Leon Wagner came to the plate and clouted a tre mendous triple against the left center field, fence. Jim Davenport followed with , a single and Kirkland capped the rally with a double. Four runs crossed the plate and that was all that was needed as Al Worthington pitched shutout ball in relief. . Kentucky STRAIGHT ! BOURBOK iitOOOJL meet each situation as it de velops. Strength, agility, amazingly quick reflexes, per fect condition and self-confidence all are on his side. Thej have served him well in the past, and I think Johansson will enable him to put all these assets to their greatest test so far. Yank Meets S. African In Tennis Wimbledon, England - (UPD -Beverly Baker Fleitz, Ameri ca's top hope for a 16th straight women's singles title in the Wimbledon tennis championships, was pitted against a tough rival in the very first round today on the famed center court. Mrs. Fleitz, who is seeded third behind two British stars, was matched against Renee Schurmann, South African star who has been a top player in European tournaments so far this season. All told 13 U. S. women are entered in the competition, which has been won by an American every year that the tourney has been held since 1938. The last non-U. S. win ner was Britain's Dorothy Round in 1937, but this year Britain's Christine Truman and Angela Mortimer have been seeded 1-2. Althea Gibson of New York, winner last year, is not competing in tournaments this year. Including Mrs. Fleitz, who has an unusual style that fea tures switching the racket from hand to hand for ambi dextrous play, nine Ameri cans were scheduled, to com pete in first-round . women's matches today. The others were fourth-seeded Darlene Hard of Montebello, Calif.; Mimi Arnold of Redwood City, Calif.; blonde beauty Karol Fageros of Miami, Fla.; Gwyn Thomas of Cleveland, Ohio; Belmar Gunderson of Chambersburg, Pa.; Joan Johnson of Los Angeles; Linda Vail of Oakland, Calif., and Carole Lampe of Forest Hills, N. Y. Four other U. S. women who drew first -round byes were scheduled for second round matches today, time permitting. They were Sally Moore of Bakersfield, Calif.; Janet Hopps of Seattle, Wash.; Pat Stewart of Forest Hills, N. Y., and Jeanne Arth of St. Paul, Minn. Also scheduled today were some matches in men's dou bles wkh the top U. S. team of Alex Almedo of Los Angeles and Barry MacKay of Dayton, Ohio, heavily favored to win its first-round test. Olmedo and MacKay were among nine Americans who won first-round matches in men's singles Monday. Two other Yanks were eliminated. Buchholx Upsets Earl Butch Buchholz Jr. of St. Louis, Mo., the world's out standing junior player last year, staged one of the biggest first-round surprises of mod ern times Monday when he upset third-seeded Nicola Pie trangeli of Italy, 6-4, 3-6, 7-5, 7-5. Other Americans to win first-rounders were Jon Doug las of Santa Monica, Calif.; Gardnar Mulloy of Coral Ga bles, Fla.; Myron Franks of Los Angeles; Jack Frost of Monterey, Calif.; Malcolm Fox of Baltimore, Md., and Jacques Jack Grigry of Al hambra, Calif. Eliminated were 1950 cham pion Budge Patty of Los An geles and Paris, who lost to Douglas, and Glenn Bassett of Santa Monica, Calif. BEST BOURBON TASTE! Fuller-Flavored More Satisfying!

KENTUCKY STKAJ6HT BQUBBON WHBKEY- IS FtMf TmI $J50 Patterson Needs More Defense By JACK CUDDY United Prtts International Chatham, N.J. (UPD Floyd Patterson, though razor sharp at the finish of his training, still leaves opening in his peek-a-boo defense that could be disastrous Thursday night if challenger Ingemar Johans son really has a devastating right fist. Despite Floyd's remarkable speed, the opening for a straight right or a right upper cut showed, now and then, even in his last boxing drill here at Ebsan Karadac's camp Monday. Peeking from behind his gloves and forearms, held well up before his face, the heavyweight champion at tempts to slide in-under an opponent's left jab-and launch his terrific hooking combina tions at close quarters. But, as" he comes in, he breaks out of the peek-a-boo to throw the first hook-and sometimes leaves his face wide open. Find Four Openings Four men, none of them with Johansson's reputation as a puncher, found that open ing during Patterson's profes sional career and floored him, without doing him much harm. - They were "Jacques Royer Crecy of France, , amateurish Pete Rademacher, middle weight Jose Torres in train ing camp and Roy Harris. ( Patterson knocked out Roy-er-Crffcy (7), Rademacher (6) and Harris (12). Unquestion ably the champion has im proved in speed and power since his last trip to the deck in the Harris fight, last Au guest. But the openings are still there. ' - And the openings may be more apparent than ever be fore, because the sometimes cautious Patterson 4s eager for an impressive "kill." He admits he'll be shooting for public recognition as a good champion-going all out to win public approval. Pictured as Ordinary k "I'm not criticizing the sports writers," he said to day. "They've picture me as a very ordinary champion. They had two reasons for that. They considered my four chal lengers bums, although I did not. But I'll admit I didn't help the situation much be cause I wasn't harp for any of those defenses-not sharp like I was when I knocked out Archie Moore."; It's a big question whether Johansson has enough explo sives in his right to knock out Patterson, whose only defeat in 36 fights was on a ques tionable decision to former light - heavyweight champion Joey Maxim in 1954. ' Certainly the Swedish chal lenger never unveiled his right during 192 rounds of sparring in preparation for this fight-never scored a knockdown. Unbeaten Inge mar insists he's been holding back his punch in order to surprise the champion. Ingemar says, "No man can stand up when I hit him with my right." Doubles Play Opens Evanston,; 111. -(UPD- Doubles play opens today in the Na tional Collegiate Tennis Championships and the favo rites were expected to have little difficulty in their initial matches. Top-seeded among doubles was the dual of Ron Holmberg and Crawford Henry, who each scored victories in open ing day singles matches Mon day. Both were among the eight seeded players who ad vanced easily with straight set victories in the singles on the courts at Northwestern uni versity. The top -seeded Whitney Reed of San Jose State drew a first round by and moved easily past Doug Bashrum of Rice in the second round, 6-3, 6-2. Don Dell of Yale, ranked No. 2, won two matches by identical 6-1, 6-1 scores over John Nadig of Iowa and Joe Cowley of tUah. Other first round winners included Wayne Pearce of Utah, John Cook of Western Michigan, Ron Fisher of Rice, Bob Nichols of eGorgia Tech and Jack Kennedy of New Mexico.

" Exclusive ABC Radio" Coverage 1 MIMIrligsmiP I V Floyd ys Ingemar PATTERSON JOHANSSON ABC RADIO NETWORK Y J L 1230 kc Not on home TV! By OSCAR FRALEY United Press International suspect when they climbed through the ropes in Ameri can rings. There is a variety of rea sons why fistic immigrants are given the jaundiced eye. Foremost is that most of them have been grade-A turkeys. Only three, of all the more recent jumbo sized imports, gave a decent account of themselves when, as Ingo does Thursday night against Floyd Patterson, they made a bid for the heavyweight title. These were Max Schmel ing," Tommy Farr and Arturo Godoy. "Her Max" pulled off his. big upset by stopping the young Joe Louis in 1936 in a buildup toward a title fight. But Jie lived to regret it when Louis got to him later. Atrocious in Training , Farr looked atrocious in training, which is exactly what they have been saying about Ingemar. But he did go out and give Louis a fierce tussle for 15 rounds. Godoy went 15 with Louis, too, al though he was a 10 to 1 un derdog. But some of the others cre ated a lasting suspicion as to the fistic ability of the visit ing gladiators. George Car pentier was an underweight heavyweight when he went against Jack Dempsey in 1921 and the buildup was so good that it drew the first million dollar gate. The "Orchid Man" belted Dempsey one good one and then was pound ed into limbo. The more recent imports have been worse. Only four years ago, England sent us a burly lad named Don Cockell and Rocky Marciano belted him clean back to Picadilly. The aroma of that one was only overcome by the un pleasant attar of Patterson's recent "fight" with Brian London. - Sporting, Not Business There are many reasons why the invaders have failed, so often to live up to expecta tions. The first of these is that boxing in Europe too long has been conducted from a sporting angle instead of being the pugilistic business that it is on these shores. There is, in those parts, a noticeable lack of good train ers and sparring partners, and they were reluctant to dispose of the stand-up style of boxing ala John L. Sulli van. The bob and weave caught them flat-footed. The dam donnies from abroad were so inept that, at one time, the New York Boxing commission had a rule that foreign blokes had to have a demonstration bout in some smaller club before they could be put into a big time attraction. The barn door was kept locked until they proved they could knock it down. Johansson looks like a man of a different stamp and there is a feeling , in this corner that he might surprise a lot of people, including Floyd THURSDAY NIGHT mm , ' " ' ' ' TAKING OVER DIRECTION of Kiwanis International at Dallas, Tex., convention, Albert J.

Wail Street Chatter New York (DPD The time has come for investors to pay more attention to high grade bonds and less to speculative stocks. That's the advice from the Alexander Hamilton Insti tute's Investment Bulletin. The firm says investors should hold on to good stocks, elim inate speculative holdings and confine new purchases to high grade issues. It recommends the ."pru dent" investor put at least one-third of his funds in high grade bonds, particularly short-term issues which now are yielding 4V6 to 5 per cent compared with less than 4 per cent for the majority of leading stocks. Standard & Poor's, also Patterson. Ingo is no worse than' 4 to 1. He crumpled Eddie Machen with a murderous right hand and Patterson is known to be open and allergic to a right hand clobber on the whiskers. But regardless of the out come, Johansson figures to give Patterson the best chal lenge he has had yet - and do something for the foreign con- a t. 1 1 : iHigeni in ine process.
