NEW YORK, June If you play the chalk you'll bet
81 to win 81 in omorrows big" fight That say you'll
take Floyd Patterson 81 to lick Tommy (Hurricane

The rankings published Just prior victory
London, list Moore the No heavyweight in the world
Sometime tomorrow night in Madison Square Garden
the most uptodate No. contender for Marcanos
title will be posted and he will be Patterson Jackson
feeling here that both mpoors but such the caber
of fighters today especially heavyweights that nobody is
seriously questioning their right to fight the No. spot

Meanwhile, back in England there is old Archie.

MOORE POSSIBLY BECAUSE he was the last to fight
Marcano land get knocked got to be rated No
This by the admission Harry Markson managing drec-

never held great love for Moore but they've to give the
old gaffer (42?) his due. He did floor Marcano8
Whether Patterson or Jackson fight lick remains
to be SEEN On the surface would seem patiently impossible
for the other to any marked ability tomorrow
Patterson has yet to fight fufedged heavyweight of
recognized ability. Jackson is a clown a freak
Patterson who the smaller of the pair you will
your TV SCREEN out of Brooklyn via Gasonia N Nor
may it would be his credentials good order
He won nine amateur fights He teen-ager who
winner In the 1852 Ompics, ending fight in 20
When he turned however he carefully steered
clear of the few remaining fighters who do job that
is suspicious He permitted fight nobody of conse-
quence until Joey Maxim relic and Patterson discovered
the difference that night
1T WAS THE ONLY BLENIISH on his pro record to be
but Pattersons won't casual scrutiny
His record of 80 fights 20 wins loss and 81 knockouts
fiction.
If nothing else Patterson orthodox This other guy
Jackson-is Tor the books Wherever Sparta Ca is
located is where the IBC says that Hurricane was born
He is big anternawed Negro youth who can't knock of
your hat with single punch but who to
opponents of lesser determination by his tenacity
There is almost nothing to recommend him except an
impausbe source of energy which battles only
newsmen covering the Jackson camp but Whitley Bmstein

plains. II live with him in the ROOM He's the most
seepess He fights in his dreams, although don't
know how good"
NEW YORK COLUNNIsT, noted for his ability to draw
out OF any athlete what there to draw told today how he
tried to interview Jackson.
"He can't read he can't write" he hemoaned cor at
least he gives you that impression asked him to talk
getting Jackson less of by himself and he talked
about pitching horseshoes."
AS the conversation went roughly
Lets talk for few minutes"
"Rather pitch horseshoes
tits no good talking. It's dangerous"
So the Hurricane and the newspaperan pitched horse
THE ODD PART OF IT is that the fight is likely to wind
up into real good fist furry Patterson having faced no
major opponent claims ustrous kayo record Jackson
the other hand insists via his handlers that longer
goes the better he becomes. Better?
Jackson can take solid puIch at ALL which remains
to be seen 1t could be beaut Ia crude way AS for the
strength OF Pattersons Jaw there great reason
wonder about It,
If Jackson beats the ex-olympc ace it'll be because
he'll wear him down from sheer feocity He can't punch and
nobody should know better than Hurricane although
late his biogaphes have spoken respectfully Of him
He has learned to count money and sign checks IBCs
