Patterson May Defend Crown On Continent By JACK CUDDY United Press International LOS ANGELES <UPD—Heavyweight champion Floyd Patterson, dissatisfied with his gory title knockout over Roy Harris, said today, "I want to get busy now, and so I may defend soon in England.” The champion believed he should have disposed of game Harris, from Cut and Shoot, Tex., before the 12th round Monday night, even though the kayo in that session had tagged the Moodsmeared challenger with his first defeat in 23 bouts. •. Floyd’s victory before' an.» Ultimated 17,000 at Wrigley Field was his 15th knockout in Tils last 16 fights. But he was dissatisfied with bis own trip to the canvas in the second round and displeased because his ’ bleeding opponent had survived four knockdowns. “I want to get busy now,” said the 23-year-old champion. Manager Agrees “That’s right,” agreed manager Cus D’Amato. “And our next defense may be for promoter Harry Levene in London. We’ve given him our word we’ll fight for him if there’s a good European challenger. It looks as if there’ll be a good one over there soon.” Apparently D’Amato was referring to next month’s fight between Sweden's unbeaten Ingemar Johansson, European champion, and Eddie Machen of San Francisco, second - ranking contender. D’Amato is reported to believe Johansson will win the fight at Goteborg, Sweden, and be available as challenger. Manager Cus, dissatisfied with the gates Patterson has drawn in his three Americn defenses, wants a big one now; and he believes London is the place to get it—away from the alleged influnce of the Intrnational Boxing Club. Asks Bout Be Stopped “I’ve got to keep busy to keep sharp,” said the unmarked champfon who had-"given Harris such a battering that his own trainer. Bill Gore, asked referee Mushy Callahan to stop the bout when the action was finished in the 12th round but before the bell could start the 13th. Callahan waved his arms in mid-ring, signaling the bout was over. He announced it was a “knockout” in the 12th round. Under California rules, when a bout is stopped to save a fighter from further punishment it is a kayo — not a technical kayo. At that time the 25-year-old challenger was bleeding profusely from the nose and from cuts on his right brow, his right temple, nose bridge and left eyelid. Harris made, a "brave stand against the champion from Mt. Vernon, N. Y. but he was outgunned. Patterson’s right - hand smashes to the body began to weaken him as early as the third round. Down Four Tinies A right to the chin put Harris down for the count of eight in the seventh. A left - right combination dropped him for “seven” and a right for "three” in the eighth. Another right to the chin floored him for "nine” in the 12th. And a smashing left hook sent him reeling across, the ring, just before the bell ended action in the 12th. The champion may receive more than his guaranteed $210,000 through his percentage provisos, because a late surge of fans to Wrighley Field provided an esti-

Harris will receive a flat guaranteed SIOO,OOO for his battering. The 6-1 underdog was far behind when the bout was stopped. Mushy Callahan favored Patterson, 117-97. Judge Tommy Hart agreed, 117-98; likewise, judge Frankie Van, 108-102. Van gave Harris two rounds, the first and second. The United Press International gave him only the second. It was Patterson’s 34th victory in 35 fights and his 25th knockout DCHS Baseball Team To Meet Wednesday Al Lindahl, coach of the Decatur Catholic high school, announced today that the first baseball practice of the season for the Commodores will be held Wednesday morning at 10 o’clock at McMillen park.

Battered Roy Harris Wants Another Try LOS ANGELES (UPI) — Roy Harris, the game heavyweight from Cut and Shoot, Tex., was looking forward today to another crack at Floyd Patterson’s heavyweight title, unmindful of the beating he took about the head and eyes. The 25 - year -old Texan was dripping gore from the area of his left eye Monday night when the fight was stopped at the end of the 12th round. Downcast, Harris admitted in his dressing room afterwards, “I guess maybe I "wasn’t as good as I thought I was.” “ He sat with a towel over his head as his trainer, Bill Gore, tried to shoo away photographers who were trying. to get a picture of the cut which" appeared’ to be about a quarter - inch long. The eyelid itself was puffed to the size of a goose egg. Gore, who was kept busy between rounds stopping the flow of blood from the left, eyelid and other cuts about the head, said the eye suffered no permannt damage. “Thre’s nothing under the cut," he said. “In a few days it will be all right." Patterson’s a great fighter,” Harris said, “But I’d like to fight him again and I think I could beat him.” Harris insisted he never blacked out despite the pounding he took from looping lefts and right smashes. “I got nailed to the body quite a few times,” —he said. “Those right hands hurt. “He didn’t have me anywhere out. Os course he shook me up a few times. I think I should have pressed him more. I learned a lot about his fighting and I think I could catch him the next time.”

Orioles Win On Strength Os Woodling . By JOHN GRIFFIN United Press International Baltimore Orioles’ manager Paul Richards admits frankly, “We just live for the times Gene Woodling comes to bat,” and now the Kansas City A’s are among those who know what he means. Woodling, who turned 36 years of age last Saturday, has been belting the ball at a .374 clip since Aug. 4 and has been just about the Orioles’ whole batting attack since Bob Nieman was sidelined by an injury. The Orioles win when Gene hits, and that was the story again Monday night. Ex-Yankee Woodling broke a 1-1 tie with a two-run homer off Ralph Terry in the sixth inning at Baltimore and that touched off a sevenrun, rally. When the dust cleared, the Orioles went on to an 8-2 victory. It was the only game played in the major leagues Monday. The victory, the Orioles’ third straight, was just another dividend on Richards’ ability to admit he made a mistake. Back in 1955 Richards traded Woodling away to the Cleveland Indians. He got him back last winter and now says, “Trading Gene away in 1955 was one of the worst mistakes I’ve made.” Richmond Team Wins Slate Legion Title LOGANSPORT, Ind. (UPI) — Richmond will represent Indiana in regional play of the American Legion Junior baseball tourney. The Wayne County outfit copped the state championship Monday night after beating Evansville twice by identical scores of 7-6. Richmond raillied in the seventh and eighth innings of the first game against the previously unbeaten Pocket City squad which had tallied all six of its runs in the fourth, fifth and sixth innings. , Then Richmond jumped off to a < 5-0 lead in the final game and j won as a ninth inning rally fiz- j zled out for Evansville. Richmond , first baseman Dave Wtynegar clubbed a home run in the seven- . th with a mate abroad toprovide ‘ the margin of victory. ’ Anderson’s John League wen , the “most valuable player" award j for his play at first base in the . tourney. —— • • Richmond pitcher Donald Noes had 9 hits in 21 tries to lead all batsmen with .428. Monmouth To Start Practice Wednesday Harold Clinkenbeard, Monmouth high school coach, today announced that baseball practice for the fall season for the Monmouth Eagles will start at 6 o’clock Wednesday evening at the Monmouth diamond. All candidates for the Monmouth team are asked to report, and bring their own gloves and shoes. The Eagles will play a schedule of games in the Adams county league and the Eastern Indiana conference this fall. Sputnik Will Be Visible Tonight Russian Satellite May Be Seen Here INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — A Russian Sputnik, which has entertained thousands of Hoosiers the past few nights blinking its way across the sky, will be visible again tonight if the weather is clear. Astromomy hobbyists said that Hoosier moonwatchers can see the third-stage carrier beginning about 8:38 p.m. c.d.t. as it moves across the sky from northwest to southeast. The carrier appears as a sec-ond-magnitude star, blinking on and off every nine seconds as the tumbling object catches the sun’s reflection. It can be seen again about 8:25 p.m. Wednesday, following a pattern of appearing 13 minutes earlier each night. However, it may be more difficult to see because each night its appearance comes closer to dusk.

| Today's Sport Parade | . (Reg. U. S. Pat. Off.) By JACK CUDDY United Press International LOS ANGELES (UPI) — You may argue all you want that the breakup of the Pacific Coast Conferehpe Is a black eye for college football,-but the big powers of the feel it was either “bust; up” or be driven out of the entertainmnt business by the pro? Rams and the Dodgers. Out here -w here fans think nothing of driving a few hundred miles to a sports event, willingly shell out 84 to 85 for a seat, and ' have became accustomed to the festive atmosphere of 100,000-seat stadiums, there’s little mourning for the demise of the old PCC. The four big California schools —UCLA, Southern California, California and Stanford — and the University of Washington figure eventually to wind up making nothing but money as a result of the dissolution of the conference. Seek Gate Appeal If they had not taken this drastic step, their football games almost certainly would have wound yp a? second - rate attractions to the tremendously popular pro Rams and the newly - acquired Dodgers. And say what you will, a successful college football team pays the bill for the rest of the entire athletic program, keeps influential alumni happy. and generally maintains the popularity and the enrollment level of an educational institution. The bickering, recruiting scandals, FBI - checkup practices, on certain schools, and the poor gate appeal of conference weak sisters like Idaho, Washington State and Oregon made the breakup necessary if the big colleges were to maintain big - time football programs. Firmly maintaining “there’s nothing wrong with making money," they chose secession from the conference rather than sub/nission to the pros. Schedule "Name" Opponents “Southern California football fans are entitled to see the best teams,” says athletic director Jess Hill. “And 100,000 seat stadiums are attractive to the best teams. Our athletic program must be built along lines that will enable us to meet the best opponents.” UCLA and Southern Cal play their home games in the 103,000seat Los Angeles Coliseum: Stanford's stadium seats 89,000, California’s 82,000 and Washington’s 55,500. To fill these parks Saturday after Saturday, when they begin • free-lancing” in 1959. the West Coast powers have ditched their weaker PCC rivals which often failed to attract much more than an audible cheering section and replaced them with the biggest “name" schools in college football. Fort Wayne Lady Dies After Crash Drunk Driver Held As Passenger Dies FORT WAYNE, Ind. (UPI) — Mrs. Louise Campbell, 49, Fort Wayne., died today of injuries suffered in a collision of two cars at Antwerp, Ohio, Aug. 5. Mrs. Campbell was a passenger in a car driven by Keith L.

Stale Hunters Kill 1, Hurt 4 To Open Season United Press International A Bedford hunter was killed Monday night in a shotgun accident marking the first fatality since the open season on squirrels began in Indiana late last week. Fay Chastlne, 36, was found dead of a shotgun charge in his chest draped over the seat of his small truck at the edge of a woods near Williams (Lawrence County). State Police said it appeared that Chastine ended a squirrel hunting jaunt into the woods about 6 p.m. and was placing his gun in a rack behind the seat of his truck when the trigger caught on a piece of wire. The body was found four hours later by a Williams man police identified as Leo Lynch. Actually, Chastine’s death was the second of the hunting season. But the first was not the result of an accident. Sylvester Dickerson, 36, Gary, was shot to death Saturday on a mink ranch near LaPorte, apparently while squirrel hunting. Authorities held the owner of the ranch for investigation of charges that Dickerson fired at him and then was felled by the ranch owner as he shot in selfdefense. In addition to the death toll, several hunters have been wounded. Jackson County alone reported three accidents. Roger Baughman, 18, Brownstown, was shot in the arm when his rifle discharged as he leaned it against a fence post. Joseph Sentz, 26,, Seymour, was climbing a fence when his gun

went off and wounded him in the shoulder. Talbot Noble, 31, Austin, was shot in the face when a 15-year-old boy fired at a movement in the bushes. Authorities said Noble will lose his sight. • Thomas F. Cox, father of the boy whose shot wounded Noble, and owner of the land on which the accident occurred, filed trespassing charges against Noble and a hunting "Companion, police said.
