NOW AND THEN — When Ctsly Stengel, right, was traded to
the Giants in 1921, little did the outfielder dream that 36 years
later he would be writing out batting orders and trying to win
an eighth pennant as manager of the Yankees at the age of 67.
O’ Case broke into majors with the Dodgers at 22. ^tNEA).

Chicago, Aug. 12 (A)—The Mil-
waukee Braves and the New York

their respective pennant races to-

The Braves moved 5 and one-
half games in front of the second

9 to 8. Ned Carver tossed a two-
hit shutout in the opener, while a

Held and two homers by Gus Zer-
nial led the way for the Athletics
in the second game.
The Boston Red Sox swept a
pair from the Washington Sena-
tors. The Sox came up with 4 runs
in the eighth inning to win the
first game, 8 to 6. In the second
game, n single by Frank Malzone
and Gene Stephen’s triple in the
eleventh inning gave Boston a 4
to 3 victory.
The New York Giants split
their doubleheader with the Phil-

Golden Twenties

Football Stars
tty HAROLD V. RATLIFF
Associated Press Sports Editor
The golden twenties produced
more football stars to he remem-
bered than any other decade in
Texas sports, history. Joe Hunt,
Rags Matthews—und Bundy John-
son,
Hunt was the greatest back
ever to play at Texas A&M. Matty
think he wa- the givateat of all
time in the Southwest Confer-
ence. Rag* Matthew* Was the de-
fensive genius of Texas Chris-
tian, the fellow who played end
with a fierceness that appalled
the opposition. He was always dar-
ing the stars to try to rome his
way. Few ever made it and aftet
they got to know Matthews few
accepted the invitation.
Before Hunt and Matthews, as
the turn into the twenties was be-

Only Hurley Could Promote
Patterson-Rademacher Bout
BY HARRY GRAYSON
NEA Sport* Editor
New York—fNFA)—Jack H lr-. the land, exceot Hurley’s guys in
fry is the only showman alive
with enough nerve to promote a
heavyweight championship Fight
between Floyd Patterson and Pete
Rndemacher. P. T. Barnum is
dead.
Unless young Patterson beats
him to it, which is more than like-
ly, Rademocher, who has never
had a professional fight, will take
at least one roundhouse right-
hand punch at the title holder at
Sick’s Stadium in Seattle, Aug.
22. He’ll do it despite the screams
of every boxing commissioner in
the State of Washington who
sanction this bout.
The production is so frightfully
unique that Hurley had to put in
additional seats a n d indications
are that he will sell more than
20,000 of them for a $400,000
gate.
With Radetracher in Columbus,
Ga., and Patteiaon at Greenwood
Lake, N. Y., Hurely, who hills
himself as the former’s friendly
piomoter, is on the long distance
telephone 30 times a day. He gets
to bed at 4 o’clock in the morn-
ing and ie awAcned by a long
distance call four houis later.
"1 believe an air of mystery is
a good thing in a fight promo-
tion,” says Hurley, who managed
Billy Petrolle and Harry Mat-
thews and numerous others. He
most certainly has it in this one.
“Why is everybody screaming
about this fight?” Hurley rasps
into the telephone.
“We ure not invading the priv-
acy of anybody’s livinT room or
even a single beer saloon. The
fight will not lie telecast. People
are not being hit on the head
with a baseball bat and made to
buy tickets. We are staging the
fight strictly for Rademarher’s
friends and relations in the Paci-
fic northwest. These people know
what Pete can do and there are a
lot of them.
While Cus d’Amato, manager of
Patterson, gullops around New
York giving all within hearing
thiee different definitions of an
amateur, ali of them building
Rademacher as a big bear, Hurely
assures the public that the former
Army officer who captured the
imaginations of Georgians is con-
siderably more formidable than a
green hand.
“When Rademacher put the slug
on that Russian in the Olympic
games,” rhouts Hurley, “he be-
came champion of more territory
than Patterson.
“You know he can punch and 1
tell you he can fight. He is awrk-
wanlly clever und smart I’ve
known him a long time, worked
with him a lot.”
For Hurley to he with an ama-
teur is startling. ‘‘The best thing
any amateur can do is take a
check and get caught,” he snarls.
Hurley has a splendid working
partner is Rademacher, who not
only promoted himself into this
fight hut an organization rallad
Youth Unlimited, Inc., as well.
Hurley and Rademather make a
gieat team. The thought of tryiag
to buck the pair is nerve-jarring.
Even Rocky Marciano whistled
in wo n d e r m e nt after meelldg
Rad« macher.
"I have the greatest personal
admiration for him," says the re-
tired champion. "He’s playirg all
the angles. . . . getting in oar
swoop what it took me. >ix years
to work up to.” '
It took a Jack Hurley to puf.
Petr Rademacher there. Jack ft
