Garden OfficioI
Says Peterson
Is Washed Up"

Norfolk, Va. (ANP)-The big
boys can't get together on any
future for Floyd Patterson.
Some think he will make a come
back, others say he is just about
finished. Some crystal ball gazers
who predicted that Patterson would
take the fight against sweden's
Ingemar Johannson and missed
their bet, still feel their man has
change to stage a comeback.
However, John Reed Fitzpatrick,
chairman Of the board, Madison
Square Garden, insists that Pat
terson is "all washed up" In a
speech last week, Fitzpatrick said
the punch that licked Patterson
did something to him"
Patterson will never recover
from that right hand in the
mouth" fitzpatrick said. He'll
never be the same again"
Despite this pessimistic state
ment, some sports aces feel Pat
terson will take care of his in
terests the next time he meets the
Swede. They evidently think it viii
be a comeback similar to that Joe
Louis pulled in his celebrated
second match with Max Schmeling
on June %, 1888.

Almost About
Every thing
BY PERCY VILLA

DO SOMETHING, IKE! While
some citizens are applauding and
others are criticising President
Eisenhowers announced exchange
of visits with Soviet No. man,
Nikita Rhrushchev, there are two
issues Of a purely domestic nature
that might be explored.
Before going into that, however,
it might be pointed out that visit
ing with Nixita and the other Rus
sian leaders may not accomplish
very much but certainly can do
little harm If we keep our guard
up and stand firm on our prin-
ciples.
And it's a matter of principle
that we want to mention here and
now: Two subjects of great con-
Germ and great Importance in which
we think our President has failed
US. First, there is a matter of
school Indignation in Arkansas:
second, the decision Of the Amer
lean Legion that practically gives
the 40 & 8 boys a blank check
toward barring members who don't
happen to be white or Indian.
AS one well-known citizen put
it while discussing both Arkansas
and the American Legion: Il often
feel ashamed of the fact that I'm
an American citizen and even
more mortified over my member

Pretty harsh sentiments, no
Yet any right-minded person who
knows anything at all about our
great Democracy, and the Bill OF
Rights will have to go along with
that opinion. There's no middle
ground on these issues: either
you're a intelligent citizen with q
proper regard for the rights of al
citizens who are created free and
equal, or you are a narrow-mindet
bigot. And if you're a member Of
the American Legion, you JUS

ON YOUR t,I1l
METAL! FZII |
By Ann Albright

Old lamps can cast new light!
Nearly any early brass lamp
can be easily converted to cleo
tricity. Screw-in adapters and
socket-and-cord sets, available
from many sources, are all you
need. So look around the attic,
or do a bit of hunting at auc-
tons or secondhand shops, and
try to come up with one of
these lovely brass lamps. Pol
isb all brass parts, install the
new parts-and put a bright
new light on a room of any
period.
Another trick to make an old
room look new: replace old
pulls, knobs and hinges on
cabinets and built-ins with
solid copper or brass hardware.
These pieces come in a variety
of patterns, including ham,
mered designs to harmonic
with the popular Early Ameri-
can decoration scheme, and add
shining eye appeal to any room
in the house.
Tub Tales
Speaking of the copper met
ais, Benjamin Franklin brought
the first formal bathtub to our
shores. 1t was made of copper
in the shape of a huge shoe,
with a crate in the heel" to
heat the water!
First bathtub in the White
House was bought for $40 in
1919. This was a simple copper
tub without running water. The
first running water tubs were
installed in 1877 by President
Hayes.
And the smartest looking
modern bathrooms are bene-
fitting from use of copper, too:
Solid copper or brass tile, as
high on the wall as you like;
towel racks; soap dishes; hang
ing shelves all bright touches
to make the bathroom a thing
of beauty!

COULD MISS DAVIS CUP PLAY
Alex OImedo Facing
Suspension byUSLTA

CHICAGO, July 20 (AP).-
The possibility arose today that
Alex Olmedo, Wimbledon cham
pion and Davis Cup star. might
be suspended for his showing
at the National clay court ten
mis- tournament last week.
Such a suspension from tour
nainent competition could keep
Olmedo out Of the challenge
round of the Davis Cup matches
at Forest Hills, N. Y, next
month.
The Clay Court Champion
ships Committee huddled over
the affair yesterday when the
finals of the tournament were
postponed because of rain.
They will be played today,
weather permitting.
Recommended Suspension
It was learned that the COM
mittee, though only a fact
finding body, recommended to
the United States Lawn Tennis
Association that Olmedo be
suspended. but did not specify
any period of time.
Ralph Westcott. chairman OF
the committee. said his group
agreed unanimously to evidence
submitted by River Forest Ten
mis- Club officials, who accused
Olmedo of throwing his quarter
final match to Abe Segal of
South Africa Thursday.

Shutout of AS

In Sunday Split
BY BURTON HAWKINS
Star stan Writer

Never a winner in five prev
ious seasons with the Senators,
Camilo Pascual is threatening
to make an across-the-board
sweep of American League
pitching honors.
The pleasant Cuban right
handler, who has moved in the
shadow of his more voluble
companion, Pedro Ramos, is
emerging as one Of the leagues

Busiest pitcher in the league

PaScual could finish with the
most triumphs. the best earned

He's a solid contender in all
Departments.

Indians Herb Score is the
strikeout leader with. 1872, and
Pascual has compiled ll2 to
rank as runner-up. Camilo's
four shutouts lead both leagues,
as do his IS complete games.
Arm MiSeries Gone
For the first time in his ca
reer, Pascual hasn't been af-
flicted with various miseries.
Arm trouble, shoulder difficult
ties and the fact that the
Senators frequently forgot how
to hit when he pitched, figured
in the abysmal 1856 record he
carried into this season.
In future years, Cal Griffith
may regard as the finest deal
he never made the one he re-
jected when the Yankees came
in pursuit of PaScual this
spring after previously chat
tering about Ramos and Dick
Hyde. Pascual, it developed, had
been their target in a trade
all along, but Griffith didn't
nibble at the assortment offered
by the Yankees.
There were indications, long
before his current streak, that
Pascual could develop into a
standout. His 1862 strikeouts two
years ago were as many as
any Washington pitcher had
achieved since Walter johnson
famed 1873 in 1917. In the past
three seasons he averaged seven
