Turpin Makes Peace
With Writers Over
Tea and Crumpets
BY the Associated Press

GROSSINGER, N. Y, Oct.
13.-Peace was restored be-
tween Randy Turpin and
British boxing writer's yes
terday when the middle
weight contender invited the
press in for tea and crumpetS.
For some time now the
hatchet-faced Englishman,
who meets Bobo Olson at
Madison Square Garden Oc-
tober 81 for the middle
weight championship, has
not been on speaking terms
with the British writer's, who
have blasted him for his
training methods and his
GOODNESS toward the press.
Turpin boxed five rounds
today, but his handlers re-
fused to announce his exact
weight. He's supposed to
be around 1863, three over
the weight limit.

7urpin1s Training Mood CooIs
London Press Toward Its Hero
By the Associated Press

LONDON, Oct. 13.-For two
years the hero and guiding light
of London fight writer's has been
Randolph Turpin.
Today some of the writer's are
cooling off. The overweight
middleweight whom the writer's
tried to- make a world champion
last summer because he whipped
an inept Frenchman is turning
sour on the men who made him.
In London dailieS there have
appeared numerous stories blast
ing Turpin, the way he's train
ing in New York State for his
world title bout with Bobo Olson
October 81 and the way Turpin
treats his visitors-eSpecially the
sports writer's.
Desmond Hackett of the Daily
Express said Turpin already has
collected one title - the most
diSliked British sportsman in
America"
Reversal of Criticism.
Three months ago it was
America catching the blame
when United States boxing au-
thorities refused to recognize
Turpin as the middleweight
champion after he easily out
boxed Charles Humez of France
in London.
Hackett said Turpin ran out
on photographers. He added
there is an atmosphere of "un-
happiness and uncertainty" over
the camp. Spasmodic training
routines mark operations of the
camp.
When Hackett tried to find out
how much Turpin weighed, he
got different f1gures-6 pounds
overweight. 3 pounds and 2
pounds.
Turpin has a history full of
trouble in reducing to the 160-
pound middleweight limit.
Headlines on Peter Wilson's
Daily Mirror column asked:
whats wrong with Turpin?"
The general impression gathered
from Wilson is that there is quite
bit wrong with the British
fighter who took the middle
weight crown from Sugar Ray
Robinson in June, 1851, and lost
it back to the same man three
months later.
It was during that summer of
1851 that Turpin became Brit
aims best known and probably
best liked fighter since the hey
day of Tommy Farr.
Manager is PerpIexed.
After asking Manager George
Middleton what was the cause of
Turpin's "churlishness," Wilson
wrote:
Middleton, who has the air of
a boy with his finger in the dixie
wondering how long he can hold
back the flood, said: I don't
know. He's moody. I could I'M
derstand it if it were two days be-
fore the fight, but two weeks
I just don't understand it.
