Klamath PMBT Little Takes Main On PAL Mitt Card Bobby Little, Medford, took charge at the start and pound ed out a unanimous decision over Joe Riggins, Coos Bay, in the Medford Police Ath letlc league boxing card at the Armory Saturday night. An estimated 500 spectators saw PAL mittmen score trl umphs in six of the 10 tus sles that matched Medford fighters against represcnta tives of the Coos Bay club. There were 11 bouts in all on the card for the benefit of the National Research foundation's March of Dimes. John Wlnningham, 130, Medford PAL, decisioned Jun ior Thompson, Coos Bay in the semi-windup and Larry Lewis, 145, from the local or ganization, took an easy ver dict from Robert Golns, Coos Bay, in the special event. Riggins, substituting for Don Wilhrow, of the coast city who had the flu, found why Medford's Little has be come one of the top battlesr of the slate in his weight. The Coos club scrappers confi dence faded quickly as the result of Bobby's fast punch ing combinations. Winningham's bout with Junior Thompson was not so fast and torrid as their pre vious skirmish in the coast town. The Applegate area youth was bothered by swelling left eye caused by an unintentional head butt, This hampered his vision. He had trouble finding his man and took several heard right punches. These shook Wlnn ingham but failed to slow him down. Lewis displayed the power and form which won him an AAU Boxing championship of Oregon several years back.

The Journal's top two all star crews were listed Sun day In the Mail Tribune. but, with the prowess that won him recognition through out the Northwest, Lewis pummeled Goins' body In ev ery round. Goins was game but appeared glad to hear the final bell, In the first boxing show here in almost two years, there was crowd pleasing ac tion in all the bouts. Appetite for action was zested when Dale Birkland, PAL, and Ran dy Thompson, Coos Bay, tangled in the opening scrape. These 85-pounders treated fans to a fast, furious duel. Blrkland's pressing at tack and straighter punching won him a unanimous decis ion. Hardly had the cheers for this bout faded when the crowd was shouting encour agement to Rusty Smith and Ricky Orr, both of the local stable In an 85-pound exhi bition. The skill the youths picked up in hours of coach ing was apparent. Smith show ed himself a fast, skillful will o' the wisp boxer, dart ing in and out for fast com binations. Orr displayed heav ler punching to the head and body. Smith was given the de cision by the narrowest of margins. Bill Bailey, Medford, eked out a split decision over Rob ert Milton, Cooa Bay, In a 125-pound tangle, Both were weary at the final bell. Paul Frison, 130, Medford, PAL, was victor by a wide margin over Bill Ballard, Coos Bay, Frlson's potent body punch ing slowed Ballard.

Miami Beach flJPD Swed ish Ingemar Johansson, scaling the heaviest of his career, had an unexpected advantage of 11V4 pounds over champion Floyd Pat terson at the weigh-in for their third heavyweight ti tle fight tonight. Johansson scaled 206 'a pounds, Pat terson 1943,. By JACK CUDDY Miami Beach - IUP1) - Cham pion Floyd Patterson and Swedish Ingemar Johansson were officially notified today that the gate had passed the all-Important $400,000 mark for their third and decisive heavyweight title fight to night at the Miami Beach Con vention hall. Both boxers expressed re lief that sportsman Bill Mac- Donald of Miami Beach would not lose money on his $400,- 000 guarantee for the schedu led 15-round fight, and offici als of Feature Sports, Inc., sent a telegram to MacDonald releasing him from the guar antee. A crowd of 13,000 is ex pected when 26-year-old Pat terson of Rockville Centre, N.Y., and 28-yea-old Johans son of Sweden and Switzer land square off with the six ounce gloves at 10:30 p.m. (est). Left-hooker Patterson, first man to recapture the heavy crown, is favored at 18-5 to beat Ingo, the explosive right- handed puncher - as he did in their second fight last June 20. Floyd's left hooks floored big, brown-haired Ingo twice in the fifth round for a knock out that night. Swede Confident Johansson, who knocked out Patterson in the third round of their first fight in 1959, told friends today he hoped h 1 a unprecedentedly stiff training this time had geared him to stiffen Floyd again and make himself the second man to win back the title. Although tonight's interna tional "rubber match" is scheduled for. 15 rounds, the betting is at "even money" that it doesn't last more than six rounds, regardless of the winner. And it's 8-1 that it doesn't go the full 15 sessions. However, should It unexpect edly last its scheduled dis tance, the betting is 25-1 that Johansson doesn't win the de cision. When tonight's match was first made for the 15,022-scat arena, officials of Feature Sports aimed at a sellout of $1,000,000 - with tickets TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, ORE. 4 i priced at $100, $50 and $20. But now it appears unlikely that the gate will reach $500,- 000. However, the bout still may be the richest fight in history because of the booming sales at theater-TV locations in the United States and Canada, as well as the large guarantees paid for radio, movies and foreign kinescopes. Expects Record Gate Irving B. Kahn, president of Teleprompter - which bought the right to theater- TV, radio, movies, etc. - an nounced that the total recipts from those "ancillaries" prom ise an unprecedented gross of $4 million. Medford's Craterian thea ter reported that it was sold out as of Saturday after noon for its closed circuit television showing this eye ing of the Floyd Paiierson Ingemar Johansson heavy weight title bout. The bout will start at 7:30 p.m. Doors at the theater open at 6:30 p.m. Johansson, who floored Floyd seven times in the third round for a technical knock out in their first fight, will be free to defend against any challenger he chooses if he takes the title from Patterson tonight. There's no return- bout contract. Thanks to the possible $4 million in gross ancillary re ceipts, plus the "live" gate, the purses of Floyd and Ingo may approach the million dollar mark this time. Each gets 25 per cent of the net live gate, and Feature Sports receives 50 per cent. However, Patterson's cut of the promotion's ancillary re ceipts in 50 per cent; Johans son's, 35. Feature Sports gets 15. In addition, Johansson has the entire Scandinavian rights to radio and film.
