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

came here from Phoenix with
a 10-4 record in the Pacific
Coast league looked a lot like

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.

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

Eliminated were 1950 cham

Douglas, and Glenn Bassett of
Santa Monica, Calif.

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."

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
