0Ison-GiardeIIo Bout
Dec. IS Draws Blast
From Chrisfenberry
By the Asseeiatsd Press

NEW YORK, Oct. 12.-The
Bobo Olson-Joey Giardello mid
dleweight title match, announced
yesterday for San Francisco De-
cember Is, has drawn sharp
criticism from Bob Christen-
berry, chairman of the New York
State Athletic Commission.
Ridiculous" Christenberry
said last night at st. Nicholas
Arena. ''They made a match
with a man (Giardello) in the
hospital. ! will have more to
say about recognition of the
bout when the World Cham
pionship Committee meets in
London next month"
Christenberrys obviously re-
ferred to pictures in the morn
ing paper showing Giardello in
a wheel chair after an opera
ton to remove a torn cartilage
in his left knee at Philadelphia.
Joey's surgeons. however, said he
should be able to start road
work in a month.
The New York chairman also
is head of the world committee,
organized within the last year
to clarity such matters as inter-
national recognition of cham
pionship bouts.
Floyd Patterson, picking his
way toward shot at the light
heavyweight championship, has
disposed, of his 10th victim in
II pro fights. Esau Ferdinand of
San Francisco was the latest
to bow before the former Olympic
champion on a unanimous deci-
sion in eight rounds last
night at the st. Nicholas Arena.
Patterson, inactive for two
months, steps up the pace by
moving into Madison Square
Garden for the first time October
% to box Joe Cannon of WASH
ington, D. c., a Rocky Marciano
sparring partner.
Z Ferdinand. 1924 to Patterson's

punch of the fight, a right to

drove the Brooklyn Negro to the
ropes. But Patterson came back
fighting to earn the votes of all

is considered likely, the Roose-
velt supporters will Immediately
declare that if Mr.. Roosevelt had
been the nominee he would have
won for governor. This, they say,
will be forceful argument, par
ticularly when it is seconded by
an argument that Mr.. Roosevelt
could get out the low income
group in New York City, as his
father did before him and as no
other Democrat has been able to
do since the death of the senior
Roosevelt.
AS it happens, New York City
has approximately SIS per cent of
the potential vote in the State
and the city has produced about
As or 46 per cent of the total
vote cast in elections since the
late President died.
Mr.. Roosevelt has made it
clear he is going through with a
floor fight for the gubernatorial
nomination in the State conven-
ton. Also that he will not take
| second place on the Democratic
ballot-the nomination for lieu
tenant governor. He has the sup
port of the Albany Democratic

Indeed, it is said, that having

Mr.. Hartman has the indorse-

a majority of the delegates in

If Mr.. Hartman can hold the
great mass of these delegates
and obtain a fair sprinkling of
upstate leaders, Mr.. Roosevelt
sure to win the gubernatorial
nomination.
Mr.. Roosevelt's only chance

If he could convince the Brook

The Republican State Conven-
ticn will be held in Syracuse,
Evening star., 1954-09-19
By Gould Lincoln

New York grabs the center of
the political stage this week when
1t will nominate its Republican
and Democratic candidates for
Governor. A Governor of New
York becomes automatically a
potential candidate for a future
presidential nomination.
The Democrats start the ball
rolling at their State convention
which opens Tuesday in New
York City, with a bitter battle
for the nomination in prospect
between w. Averell Hartman,
former Ambassador and the
States favorite son candidate for
President in 1852, and Repre-
sentative Franklin D. Roosevelt,
son of the late President.
Mr.. Roosevelt's forces concede
they have an uphill fight on their
hands in view of Mr.. Harriman's S
backing by many State Demo-
cratic leaders, including the
chieftain of Tammany.
On the Republican side, Sena-
tor Irving Ives is expected to
have the nomination without op-
position. He is the choice of the
Republican state executive COM
mittee and of Gov. Dewey. who
is voluntarily stepping out Of the
race.
The political future of Frank
lin D. Roosevelt, jr., is in all
probability bound up in the DEM
ocratic contest. If he fails to win
the nomination this time he will
not have another chance to be-
come governor until 1858, which
may be too late for him. Not
because he is aging, but because
the magic of his name may be
running out. He will, if not NOM
mated for governor, be reelected
Representative from the Goth
congressional district because he
has already been re-nominated
for that Office. The district is
overwhelmingly Democratic.
There are those who contend
that young Roosevelt-he is 40
years old--has still much time
and opportunity to advance po-
litically. They argue that if Mr..
Hartman, 62, is nominated and
defeated by Senator Ives, which

Ives. Gov. Dewey and other New
York COP. leaders are busy
deciding whom to nominate for
lieutenant governor and for the
other places on the State ticket.
Democratic leaders who sup
port Mr.. Hartman say that the
determination to nominate him
over Mr.. Roosevelt was not in
f1uenced by Gov. Dewey's with
drawal from the race-that
the decision to support Mr..
Hartman as the strongest
Democratic nominee was made
well in advance of Mr.. Dewey's
advancement.
They haYe been fearful that
too many Democrats would stay
at home or vote for Sen. Ives
if Mr.. Roosevelt were the nom
inee. Sen. Ives has always been
a strong vote getter in New
York and he will be able to
defeat either Mr.. Roosevelt or
Mr.. Hartman, his hackers say.
