t • night for whicfi* boxing fans
lute been waiting ;1 wo years.
Tat Is tbe nlgltjlUhen Heavy*
w.«.ght Champion J Floyd Patter-
a..n w»U risk his crown against
the* man who many think ls the
formidable fighter that Floyd has
Li v<l in his career.
We are talking about Sonny Liston, the hardest hitter In the
heavyweight ranks today. Llston is
dangerous for two reasons. First,
because he is hungry, as he has
had only one large purse ln his !
entire, career. Second, because he
Is a young man, 'angry at the
world, because ot the hand which
Fat« has dealt him.
For some unkown reason everyone expects sjwrtswriters to pick
Ute . winners in all big sporting
events. Regardless of how often
we are wrong they look for our
prediction. So here goes ours on
tho fight. We will take Patterson/
although our good sense tells thai
we are making the prediction with
oar heart and not our head,   i j \
9 THIS PREDICTION ;s -„ indicated on the hope that Patterson will fight his fiRht and not be
swayed by the roaring of the
crowd for blood.
If   Floyd   boxes   Llston   ip   lhe
early rounds of the fight and get
him angry, because he cannot tag
him, Liston will get careless and j
Floyd's faster hands will have a
chance to cut Sonny down to his i
•Ue. However, if Floyd goes out
and try to slug It out with Sonny j
we are afraid the will be an ex-1
champion.
We are basing our theory that
Patterson can win on what we saw

While Liston won the fight by a
large margin, Machen made him

9 WE THINK, that>-'baseball
owes MauryjWills, the Lyi{Angeles
Dodger's shortstop, who ii threa-
tenlng Ty Cobb's stolen bases record of 898, a vote of thanks for
showing the owners that fans appreciate something in baseball
beside tire home run.
It has been our contention for
several years that the owners In
their demands for the long ball
and their cheapening of the home
run by setting up short and low
fences, lias done more to cost
baseball to lose its popularity than
anything else. They complain a*
bout the length of the games but
If there were more action the
game wouln not be dull and people would not mind the length as
long as they were enjoying themselves, p
9 WE KNOW Uiat the reason
we do nol go, out to Jet stadium
any of tenet' I {man we jdo Is due
to the fact | that we l^me dis-
qusted whW*t*iey shortened the
left and lef^tJenter field fences
to the point where a little leaguer
could hit a home run. They
lowered the fence in right and
right center ao that balls, which
a good fielder jcould play off of the
wall and hot*1 ihe rurtner.<m ;«
single or a double, now sails over
for a cheap homer. So what is
the result? They have taken the
action out of the game, for there
Is no room for the outfielders
to roam in. There Is no\ thrill
wondering whether the runner can
get the extra base on the fielder's
throw.
Wills has brought the thrill of
speed plus skill back to the fans
and they love it. Wills has stolen 93
hasess this season and needs four
more to break Cobb's record.

In Chicago last week, Cus
D'Amato, controversial manager
of heavyweght champion Floyd
Patterson, told newsmen that h<?
beleves Sonny Lston could have
beaten Jack Johnson had both men
met n their prime.
D'AMATO had already said he
expected Patterson to defeat Llston "one way or the other."
meaning, of course, either by decision or knockout. Therefore his
comparison of Lston with Johnson
must put Patterson at least a step
above Jack as a fighter. Johnson
has been classified by some ring
experts as the greatest heavyweight champion of all time.
D'Amato, who arrived at Patter-

one suit and Jxx in another suit.
AQx is worth more than Axx and
Qxx in different suits.
# UNGUARDED picture acrd—
K. Is worth less than a guarded
king. It is worth more than a
singleton deuce, of course, but It

points Much the same is true of
singleton queens or jacks nnd even
a doubleton queen or Jack.
Deduct one point from the normal value of any singleton picture card or from any doubleton
picture card except the combination AK-AQ and Kx. K alone
equals 2, Q alone equals 1, J or
Jx equals O. KQ equal 3. QJ equal

high card values youiwll. of course,
add the normal 2 points for n

son's Marycrest camp near Chicago recently to supervise his training, said he based the comparison
on films he had viewed of Johnson's fights and what he has seen
of Liston ln action.
In discussing Johnson and Liston
with Dick Hackenbert. sjKirts
edlor of the Chicago Sun-Times
newspaper, D'Amato satd In part:
"In boxing It's hard to measure
what a fighter today would do a-
gainst a fighter of yesterday. One
thing I do know: "I've seen 10
different movies of Jack Johnson's fights and I've studied Llston and I'm convinced that Sonny
Could beat Johnson.
"Personally, I like Llston'* 'eft
hand. It reminds me of Joe
Louis. Joe was a bit quicker with
his left but Llston land* more
heavily."
D'Amato Is virtually assured of
being taken to task by old timo
fight experts, in particular who
regards Johnson abong the best.
It not the best of the heavyweights.
I have talked to many people
who knew Jack Johnson well as
a fighter and as a man. and they
definitely do not agree. It has
been stated by fight fans who followed Jack, that he, In many of
his rights, would hold back ths
power of his punches. When he
had a definite advantage over a
man, many times he would play
around with him when he could
have knocked his opponent into tha
second row of seals. \"
With the convictions that the
films were authentic, they still
didn't necessarily tell the true
story of Jack Johnson's ability- as
a  fighter.
