SPORTS Parade
BY HARRY FERGUSON

United Press Sports Editor
NEW YORk-The rain that
fell on the polo grounds around
6 o'clock last evening was a
great thing for the flowers and
crops, but it didn't cool off the
fire and birthstone relations be-
tween Fritzie Civic and Al
Davis.
They were scheduled to do
combat for IL rounds or less
last night, but when the rains
came Promoter Mike Jacobs
clacked his store teeth three
times and an interpreter said
that meant that the fight was
postponed until tonight.
That gave Davis and Zivie An
additional "a hours in which to
dictate reasons 10 their score
taries rs to why they hate
each other. The list was long
without these last-minute foot
notes. but it does look as
though there might be some
fireworks tonight when the boys
get together.
It's shame the fight can't
be held on the Fourth Of July
80 the gladiators could shoot
roman candles at one another
and inflict major burns with
spsrklers.
The phrase "grudge fight is
about the most threadbare IN
the vocabulary Of boxing writers,
but the business this evening
shapes up as one.
Davis and Civic encountered
one another at the weigh-ln
yesterday and matched sneers.
IL wasn't the usual stuff Of
looking tough for the cameras
either; the boys really packed
q lot of hatred into their stares.
The repsrtee was not brill
liant but 1t was strictly 70 the
point:
Hello" snarled Davis.
Hello groWled Zive.
As You no doubt know from
perusing the deathless prose mat

too. Both Of them are right.
They differ only in their ap-
proach 10 the problem Of eyad-

Davis used the direct approach
method. he simply started
whseking Zivic below the belt
and kept doing II until the
referee threw MIN out Of the
ring.

NEW YORK. May g Middle
weight Champion Ken Overlin, of
Washington. and challenger Billy
SooSe, of Farrell, Pa. prepared
for their 15-round New York COM
mission battle tonight, with the
latter firmly entrenched as an 8
to 3 favorite to emerge as the new
boss of the 160-pounders.
Both fighters admittedly are
ready for a tussle expected to go
the full distance. No odds were
quoted on a knockout, as neither
has too much punch.
In a previous meeting. Soose
was given a widely disputed de-
cision last Summer at Scranton,
Pa, to become in the eyes of
many the uncrowned champion in
New York. He later took a deci-
sion over Tony Yale. the national
boxing association title-holder, at
Chicago.
This defense will be the third
for Overlin, who won the title
from Ceferino Garcia a year ago.
Subsequently he twice turned
