0 TUESDAY. JUNE 21. 1900 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFOHD, ORE. oyd Regains heavyweight Grown With 5th Round MEDFO(U4$tTSIBUNI Win Said Product Of Work and Faith Editors nolo: Floyd Pat ierton tells in the following exclusive dispatch written for United Press Interna tional how he regained the world heavyweight cham pionship last night. By FLOYD PATTERSON Written Exclusively for UPI New York - H'PD - I did it. I don't say this boastfully because months and months of training religiously in the Connecticut countryside makes one humble. My triumph was achieved not only through my fists but also is the product of hard work, good schooling and faith in myself. Cus D'Amato and my train er, Dan Florio, never faltered in their faith in me. The lone ly hours, the separation from my family and unending train ing routine are over. I will make up to them for this. My attack was a surprise to some experts. It was no surprise to my camp. We planned on this on the draw ing board months and months ago. Slugging Right Make no mistake about Ingemar Johansson. He's a soiid fighter with a slugging right hand. During the training session, J vowed I'd be a fighting champion if I regained the title. I'm going to keep my word. I knew I had the fight won with that second knockdown Main Kart Race Taken By Funk Rogue River-Howard Funk, Medford, won the main event and the B class race Saturday at Rogue Kart speedway. Other winners were Larry Milligan, Medford, in Class A for Juniors, Dennis Detloff, Grants Pass, in Class A for juniors and Boon Bundock, Grants Pass, in the A super. Nineteen Karts were enter ed in the Saturday event. Racing is set for Sunday, June 26, with gates opening at 4 p.m. and first race at 5 p.m. Trophy girls last Saturday were Joanne Van Datta, Ca they Prittlex and Anita An nis. The Rogue River high band Euttons the clown and the Cavemen and princesses of Grants Pass were present for the race event. Yanks Sign Bonus Player Chicago -(UPD- Alan Hall, All-America catcher from the University of Arizona, was signed Sunday by the New York Yankees for a very substantial bonus," estimated at 575,000. He will report to the Yankees' Binghamton, N. Y., farm club next week. Bugs and claims of the unproved little compact cars got you?

When the referee got to six and he still wasn't getting up, I figured it was ail over. He lay there kicking. It didn't look like he was going to get up. I must say he hurt me In the second round with his right but it wasn't nearly as hard as the r..ie he hit me with to beat me just about a year ago. I was staggered, sure, but I was playing it coy, too. I was waiting for him to come to me. When he didn't, well I had to go to him. I guess I did, huh?

Victory Decisive; NBA Won't Approve Rematch By JACK CUDDY United Press International New York-fflPD-Floyd Pat terson, who vindicated him self heroically by achieving the ring's first recapture of the heavyweight crown, is willing to fight Ingemar Jo hansson again within 90 days but still groggy Ingemar is uncertain whether to accept. Patterson, whose explosive left hooks floored Swedish Ingemar twice in the fifth round for a knockout Monday night before 31,892 paid spec tators in the Polo Grounds, said: "I'll live up to our con tract for a rubber match. I always keep my word." Promoter Jack Fugazy said Feature Sports, Inc., would like to promote the bout 'within 120 days" but in some other city, unless New York's police commissioner could provide better protection for the promoters and the fans. It was estimated that more than 5,0(0 rushed into the ball park free after smashing three gates. Ingemar, who was flat on his back for three minutes after suffering the first pro fessional defeat in his career of 23 fights, told friends: "I don't know what I want to do. I don't want to talk about it now." NBA Opposes Rematch However, the decision may be taken out of Ingo's hands by the National Boxing asso ciation. Tony Maceroni of Providence, R.I., NBA presi dent, said the organization would not approve a third fight between Patterson and Ingo because of the very def inite manner in which Pat terson established his super iority Monday night. Brown-haired Ingo, with the nicked and nearly closed left eye and the cut mouth and swollen nose, appeared still woozy from the head blows he had taken before be ing counted out at 1:51 of the fifth round by Referee Arthur Mercante. Patterson, an underdog at 7-5 because he had been called a "cheese champion" even before his third-round knockout defeat, vindicated himself dramatically Monday night by beating the odds and tradition. Although staggered by one of Johansson's stunning rights to the head in the second round, 25 - year - old Floyd quickly took command of the All-Comer Track Slate Announced Plans for the summer track and field program at Ashland and Medford hav been an nounced by Dan Bulkley, track coach at Southern Ore gon college. First of a number of all comers meets will be con ducted on Saturday, June 25 at the college track in Ash land. The program is being co- sponsored by the Medford city recreation department, the college and Ashland High school. Meets are to be every two weeks with the site rotated among the college and Ash land and Medford High school ovals. Tentative plans call for 5:30 p.m. running of the high school and college or open divisions and for boys and girls junior events at 10 a.m. Junior age groups will be 9-10, 11-12, 13-14 and 15-16 years. Ribbons will go to those who take the first five places in each event. An entry fee of 25c will be charged each participant to help defray cost of awards. Information on the meets and entry blanks will be available at all city rec reation departments in the southern Oregon area or from Bulkley at the college, NightTrapshoot On Wednesday Medford Gun club will hold a night trapshoot on Wednes day. Gunning will begin at 7:30 p.m. A handicap event is planned with prizes being offered There will be practice shoot ing also. The club will hold a reg istered shoot on July 10. It will be the last big event at the Medford traps until fall. SIGNS WITH PISTONS Detroit - (UPD - Jackie More- land, who gained national col legiate stature at little Louis iana Tech, has signed his first professional contract with the Detroit Pistons of the Nation al Basketball association. The 6-8 MoreJand was the Pistons' No? 1 draft choice this year, fight again and gave Ingo a inorough battering that was climaxed by the two knock downs from left hooks to the jaw in the final fifth session. Win Rich Purses Patterson, who became the first man in ring history to win back the heavy crown, was estimated to have earned about 8500,000 from what shaped up as the "richest fight" in history. Johansson was estimated to have wound up with a similar sum. The show drew a gross eate of $824,814 at the Polo Grounds. Fugazy said the total gross receipts from all sources should exceed $3,300,000. That would be greater than the fabulous $2,658,660 "live gate" attracted by the second Jack Dempsey-Gene Tunney fight at Chicago in 1927-the top total receipts for a fight before Monday night's inter national extravaganza. Credits Floyd's Weight Trainer Dan Florio said Pat terson's weight of 190 - the heaviest of his career - was partially responsible for Mon day night's spectacular vic tory. It gave him more power. Johansson scaled 194. When they fought last June and Ingo floored Floyd seven times in the third round for a technical knockout, Johans son scaled 196; Patterson, only 182. Patterson started right off in the first round Monday night as if to take advantage of his weight. He staggered Ingo with a left hook, and shook him with right smashes to the body. Ingo came back and buckled Floyd's knees in the second with a right. After that, Patterson took com mand, particularly in the ex changes. Minnesota Wins Baseball Title Omaha, Neb. - (UPD - Minne sota's persistent Gophers, who have the golden touch in the clutch, outwaited Southern California Monday night to claim the national collegiate baseball title they expected to win all along. The championship run came in the 10th inning of the Big Ten kings' third overtime game with Southern Califor nia. A Trojan reliefer issued a bases-loaded walk to give Minnesota the crown, 2-1. The Trojans scored in the top of the ninth after two outs to force the extra inning, but Minnesota's steady righthand er, Jim Rantz, starting his first game, set the Westerners down in order in the top of the 10th.
