Patterson - Rademacher
Tops Week's Fight Slate
By MURRAY ROSE
Heavyweight champion Floyd
Patterson and Olympic king Pete
Rademacher make ring history at
Seattle Thursday night when they
collide in a 15-round fight labelled
ganizations of the world.
It will mark the first time that
an amateur heavyweight cham-
pion will make his debut in the
fight for pay ranks against the
world's professional titleholder,
a mismatch by most boxing or-Amateur featherweight champion
Jack Skelly tried to accomplish
that feat against pro king George
Dixon in 1892 and was knocked
out in the eighth round.

player, has said: "If I didn’t

WASHINGTON, Aug. 18 —
* Rby Sievers' first homer of the
season against Boston pitching, a
grand-slammer against Frank Sul-
livan in the fifth inning, enabled
Washington to defeat the Red Sox,
6-4, today. It was Sievers 31st
homer.
Ted Williams, tied with Sievers
for the runner-up spot in the
American League home run race
behind New York's Mickey Man-
tle, got a single in four chances.
His average dipped a point to .392.
Rademacher’s fight with Lev
Moukhine, a Russian, for the
Olympic heavyweight title, had
not made its way from Australia
yet, so I went to sleep.
This was last December and
I was staying at my sister's
house in Seattle while my hus-

United States Olympic team. He
had scored two knockouts in the
tournament so far and 1 couldn't
wait to hear somebody tell me
he'd won the title. 1 expected it,
but the waiting still was hard.
Then at seven o'clock, a re-
porter called and said Lieutenant
Rademacher knocked out the Rus-
sian in the first round.
I didn't know it, but that was
the bout which started my hus-
band on the way to the fight he is
going to have with Floyd Patter,

Cal McLish held Kansas Ctiy to
six hits and his teammates touch-

11 safeties today as the Cleveland
Indians pushed the Athletics back
into the cellar. 9-2.
McLish, who got the call to start
after Ray Narleski turned up with
a sore shoulder, had a four-hitter
going into the last of the ninth.
After two outs, Kansas City's
Woody Held and Hal Smith hit
singles, but McLish retired Hec
Lopez on a pop fly to short, end-
ing the game. The victory was
McLish’s sixth against five de-
feats.
Although Cleveland got all its
hits off four pitchers, Kansas City
used five. Wally Burnette pitched
