Patterson Wins By Knockout In Sixth Round SEATTLE, Wash. (UP) —Floyd Patterson, 22-year-old tiger of the prize ring, relentlessly stalked the audacious amateur, Pete Rademacher, through five rounds here Friday night, knocked him down seven times—and finally out in the sixth. In the greatest massacre since Custer's last stand, Rademacher took an even more severe pasting than did Tommy (Hurricane) Jackson when the latter lost to the champ only three weeks ago. But the upstart Rademachar, making his first start as a professional, had the satisfaction of decking the champ before the roof caved in. One wild swinging right floored Patterson in the second round for a four-count.

“I never knew what hit me and never even knew I, went down,” said the champion later. “All L remember is getting up and fighting back.” Pete IS Pounds Heavier Patterson, who weighed only 187 compared with 202 for Rademacher, had things his own way from there in. Referee Tommy Loughran gave both the first rounds to the challenger—but when the fifth round came along and Patterson poleaxed the challenger four times, the referee scored the round 10-0 for the champ. The end came after 2:57 of the sixth. Rademacher went down from a sharp right to the jaw. When he lumbered to his feet after a count of nine, Patterson stunned him with a swinging right and then a combination right and left sent him to the floor for keeps. Outside oi tnar second round, when the champ was on the floor, the 16.961 fans who paid $243,030 to watch the uneven battle, didn’t have much . chance to cheer for their home-state lad. But they couldn’t fault the former football player on his courage. Nobody had expected him to

win; and most had thought that he would go out in a round or two. But he kept getting up and going for more. “When a man with an axe starts chopping at you, sooner or later you are bound to go," was the way Rademacher summed it up after the fight. Floyd Denies "Carrying” Pet* It appeared that after the third round, the champion could end it any time he wanted. But Patterson denied that. “Rademacher is an Olympic champion. I was an Olympic champion and I know how Olympic champions fight. “However, I was never worried. I knew I would win after the third round.” Patterson got a $250,000 guarantee for the fight and his manager, Cus D amato, said he would take every cent of it. "We are going to take the $250,000 despite the fact that the promoter will lose money." D’Amato said. "But I want to say that Seattle is a great sports town. They should have a major league franchise here.” Neither Patterson nor Rademacher revealed their future plans. But there didn’t appear to be much on the horizon in the way of opposition for the champion: and as for Rademacher he will have a rough time taking on any of the top 10 rated heavyweights.

Burdette Hurls Braves To Win Over Dodgers By FRED DOWN United Press Sports Writer Add Lew Burdette to the reasons the Milwaukee Braves are steadily driving those nails into the coffins of their National League rivals. It was just about this time a year ago that the controversial right-hander went into a tailspin that contributed to the Braves' failure to win the flag. Lew finished the 1956 season with a 19-10 record but he won only thr e e games after Aug. 22 as the Braves faltered in the stretch. It appears that there’ll be no late slump this year, however, far Burdette, who whipped the Brooklyn Dodgers. 6-1, Thursday night to keep the Braves’ 6%-game lead intact. The St. Louis Cardinals beat the Philadelphia Phillies, 6-5, the Pittsburgh Pirates dealt the Cincinnati Redlegs their 10th straight loss, 8-3, and the New York Giants defeated the Chicago Cubs, 6-2, in the other National League games. The New York Yankees in creased their American League spread over the idle Chicago White Sox with an 11-4 victory over their “country - cousin" Kansas City Athletics while the Boston Red Sox drubbed the Cleveland Indians 11-3, and the Detroit Tigers downed the Baltimore Orioles, 4-0. 12th For Burdette Burdette, who hadn’t beaten the Dodgers at Ebbets Field since Aug. 31, 1955, did it Friday night behind an 11-hit attack that included homers by Hank Aaron and Red Schoendienst. It was Lew’s fourth victory in his last five decisions and his 12th triumph of the year. Aaron sent the Braves off winging against Sal Maglie in the first inning when he smashed a htreerun homer,, No. 35 of the year, and Schoendienst, who had three hits in all, bashed his 14th homer in the fifth. The Braves now have beaten the Dodgers 10 times in 17 meetings and six different pitchers have victories over the de? fending champions.

Airplane Racing At Fort Wayne Sept. 1 FORT WAYNE <UP)-Hoosier-land, the Mecca of big-time auto racing, will get a taste of ‘‘bigtime'-' airplane racing on Sept. 1, Lane Hartwell, chairman of the* first annual Fort Wayne Air Race and Show, said today “a minimum of 15 racers” will zoom and shoot around a 2*£ mile course at Baer Field hot on the trail of a hunk of gilded metal and a share of $7,000 prize money. The 85-horsepower engines can pull the home-made planes around the course at an average speed of more than 200 miles per hour. Hartwell said Bill Falck of Niagara Falls, N.Y., set a lap record of 208.81 miles per hour last year. Falck flew the “hot lap" over a course in his hometown. Falck will be flying “Rivets” in one of the three 10-lap heat races which will sort out the best planes for the final 12-lap trophy race. They Pour It On , "Some of the racers should hit around 220 to 230 miles an hour in the straightaway if we- hit the right kind of day,” Hartwell said. The racers must “circle” a rectangular course marked by four "pylons” jutting about 75 feet into the air. At Fort Wayne the pylons will be television antennas wrapped with colored paper. The straightaways are a mile long, giving the “buzz-saw” engines time to shoot the racers to top speed before they make the urn into the “short stretches.” The racers have an average wingspread of about 14 feet, and vary from 8 to 12 feet from propeller to tail. “They are built entirely for racing,” Hartwell said. “And they handle like a dream." The race-pilots usually have routine flying jobs to earn their living. But they race for fun. “Most of them are built by the people that race them,” Hartwell said. Claims It’s ‘Safe’ Hartwell is an exception to the rule. He owns a plane but his work-a-day co-pilot, Jim Miller of Fort Wayne, will be at the controls. “All parts of the midget racer must be stock,” Hartwell said. “They are not hot-rodded in any manner.” But the pilots are not “stock.” They climb to about 300 feet on the turns and swoop into the straight-away, flattening out for runs at between 50 and 100 feet from the ground. “There have been accidents, but no fatalities," Hartwell said. Allen Dairy Winner In Tourney Opener WICHITA, Kan. (UP) — The Fort Wayne, Ind., Dairymen opened defense of their National Baseball Congress championship Thursday night with a 9-1 victory over Sharon, Pa., Westinghouse.
