had eight brides for the day, three
in the first four holes of the after
noon round. Oliveri twice has gone

Paterson, FIyweight
King, Seen Weak in
Win Over Curran
BY the Associoted Press

GLASGOW, Scotland, July IL
Aggressive Jackie Paterson still held
the f1yweight boxing championship
OF the world today, but ring writer's
pointed to his failure to knockout
runaway Joe Curran in their IS
round title bout here last night as
proof that he was weakened in max
ing the 112-pound weight
Champion since 1943, the 26-year-
old Scot outpointed the Liverpool
veteran in a dull contest that dis
appointed crowd of $4,000 in
Hampden Park Soccer Stadium.
The fans booed Curran's tactics
of strategic retreat to wear the
champion down in the early rounds,
Paterson, who has been fighting
overweight recently, had to battle
the calories to get his weight down
to the 112-pound limit, which he did
without an ounce to spare. Curran
was three pounds lighter at 109
The London Daily Herald's James
Butler wrote that Paterson was
obviously weak at the weight with
the result that few of his punches
came with any real weight
Godfrey Simpson of the London
Daily Mail wrote that Paterson did
not punch with his old power"
Paterson had trouble catching up
with his opponent and when he did
he could not score knockout, al
though he f1oored Curran three
times.
In the eighth round, Curran was
so groggy he had to be guided to
his corner. Ringside observers cri-
ticized Paterson's failure to press the
attack in the fifth round when Cur
ran was entangled in the ropes and
was sitting target.
The only damage to the champion
was a cut oyer his left eye, opened
during a clinch in the third round.

Haefner Faces Chiso>
As Mats Open Stand
Against West

The Mats go back to work tonight
at Griffith Stadium as the Chicago
White Sox head an invasion of
Western clubs against whom the
Mats hope to improve their posi-
ton. Now four and a half games
out of third place, Washingtons
performers are harboring thoughts
Of ousting Detroit from that spot
during a 12-day home stand.
Mickey Haefner. the stubby south
paw with three successive victories
to his credit-jncluding two tri-
umphs over the league-leading Red
Sox-will be Manager Ossie Bluege's
choice to fire against the White Sox
In the series opener, starting at $3.50.
Bluege, incidentally. is contem-
plating an infield switch which will
dispatch Shortstop Cecil Travis to
third base and install Billy Hitch
cock at shortstop. Travis has
slowed considerably and the third
base job would be easier on his legs,
while Hitchcock has been playing
brilliantly at third and Bluege
visions in him a smooth shortstop.
Hitchcock previously played short
stop for the Detroit Tigers.
Chicago represents one OF the
chief reasons for Washingtons first
division tatus. since the Mats have
knocked over the White Sox in 9 of
II games. Haefner will be trying
for his seventh win of the season at
their expense.
Mickey spanked the Browns, "a
then unleashed two consecutive 7
hit games against Boston, captur-
ing both decisions, go, and 40. In
Haefners last 81 innings, he has
permitted only one earned run.
Mickey Vernon. the Mats league
leading hitter, returns to action with
a temporarily comfortable lead over
his rivals, Dom Di Maggie and Ted
Williams. Vernon, batting 1854, has
a 15-point edge over Di Maggie and
II points the better of Williams.
Joe Grace recently has been the
Mats hottest hitter, however. In his
last II games with the Mats, Grace
has collected 21 hits and over that
span has compiled highly pleasing
420 average.
Grace, who joined the Mats as q
.227 hitter, has benefited by the
change of scenery. In Is games with
Washington he shows 400 average
with % hits in 10 attempts, all OF

The Cards, who have won eight
pennants and wound up IT times in
the first division since 1925, have
come from behind after trailing in

counted on for the Chicago or ST.
Louis series, the status of Pete Rel
ser is in doubt
Reiser. who along with Reese and
Dixie Walker has been highly re-
sponsible for the Dodgers present
berth, is troubled with a shoulder
separation.

today find the Cincinnati Reds and
the Boston Braves battling under

Pittsburgh Pirates playing host to
the Philadelphia Phillies.
