'It has nothing to do with the trainer or the track con ditions either," said Hartack. I Bl E IK COMlIf Tickets on Sale For Shrine Tilt At Multnomah "We want to fill every seat in Multnomah stadium."

Black Tornado Has Hit .310 in Regular Season New York -flTIi- They even threw the Dcmpsey Tunncy "battle of the long count" into the promotional hopper today to hypo the ticket sales for the heavyweight return be tween Ingemar Johansson and Floyd Patterson. Patterson's newest mouth piece, Joe Louis, said that Floyd would object to having Ruby Goldstein as the third man in the ring when they go at it in the Polo Grounds on June 20. The Brown Bomber charged that Ruby "lost con trol" tlv last time and didn t make lngo go to a neutral corner. Ruby Just laughed. Makes Good Publicity You can't blame him for as serting that he "can't believe Joe really means it." Or for adding that "there's a possi bility it makes good pub licity." Because Ruby has officiated at some 30 chamoionshin bouts, as well as hundreds of others as a third man since 1942. So saying he can't of ficiate is like insinuating Esther Williams can't swim and who cars, with such scen ery; that Eddie Arcaro can't ride so he can't, on favorites; or that Oscar of the Waldorf can't cook and who goes to the Waldorf to cat?

Polaris Having Guidance Trouble Cape Canaveral, Fla.-IUPD-The Navy's Polaris missile fi nally made a successful take off from I ship at sea-but it apparently still is having tome guidance troubles. The Observation Island, a merchant vessel converted into a laboratory ship, launch ed the 28-foot missile from about 30 miles off the coast of Cape Canaveral Monday.

However, the Navy said "final appraisal" of the test "must await detailed analysis of data." It was learned that some parts of the test, notably In the guidance, did not go is expected. You might just as well say that Patterson can t fight. Or that if Ruby lost control, it sccnii quite certain that lnuo 1 found it. But. with Patterson'! gold en - tongued manage r, C'us I D'Amato, currently working under conversational wraps, i somebody has to carry the build-up ball. So Jue did a right good job of it. Few More Seconds "In that first fight," opined Joe, 'Goldstein didn't make Johansson go to a neutral corner after each knockdown. That would have given Floyd a few more seconds to gather himself. And after the first knockdown, Floyd still wa.i turped the other way when Johansson hit him a foul punch behind the car. "Goldstein isn't too small to handle them," Joe added. "He just got too excited over a fast knockdown and wasn't capable of handling the situ ation. This next time figures to be the same kind of thing, with a lot of action, so Floyd will object to Goldstein being the referee." Louis then pointed to the second bout between Jack Dcmpsey and Gene Tuniiey, at Chicago in 1927. when referee Dave Barry was so insistent that Dempscy go to a neutral corner that the groggy Tun ney had anywhere from 14 lo 16 seconds to gather his wits. !
