"You can get plenty of money for the yachters and the swimmers because they come from the affluent set. "It's not so easy to get it for boxing.

And these are the kids the poor kids, the inner city kids who need it most." Hull's vision foresees the day when cities will provide boxing gyms for the inner-city youngster. "There are millions of dollars available to teach these kids dancing and art and the like. Well, they don't really want to know that. They aren't that type. But they do feel there may be a chance for them to punch their way out of the ghetto and get a chance at the end of that rainbow that Clay and Frazier are going for." Chicago, he noted, has built 44 boxing gyms.

"And in some sections muggings and assaults and the like have been all but eliminated." "Give everyone a chance. And then those who have the moves and the speed, By DICK BEARDSLEY Courier-Journal Times Staff Writer Local boxing fans will be excused if they seek only exciting world class amateur boxing at Freedom Hall on Tuesday night. An 11-bout card will begin at 8 p.m. and five bouts will include members of the Russian International Boxing team against outstanding American amateurs, including Louisville light heavyweight William Katliff. The other six bouts will pit American amateurs against each other.

But for a retired-Army-colonel-turned-boxing-zealot, Tuesday night will be a continuation of a trip on which he is seeking much more. Sure, Don Hull likes exciting boxing. But for him, Tuesday night also will be a lesson in sociology, a display of international friendship and proof that anyone can enjoy the fruits of America's success dream. If all that strikes as a bit much to expect from boxing, understand that Don Hull's attitude toward boxing is something more than fanatical. "Boxing has got to be revived for the good of the country," he said the other day, using the same grave and reverent tones others have used to suggest that togetherness, communication, lower taxes and higher wages, et.

are what is needed for "the good of the country." "I'm afraid we're getting too soft," he added. "I wish we could give more boys the chance to learn the skills of self defense. The man who learns self defense I think walks down the street with just a little more confidence and makes a better citizen I think." Don Hull, then, has dedicated himself to getting more boys the chance to learn self defense, more explicitly, the chance to learn how to box. Boxing at bottom of spectrum Hull, formerly national director of the Amateur Athletic Union, now holds the impressive-sounding title of President of the Americas in the World Olympic Boxing Organization.

This year, the development of topflight world class fighters has taken a new twist. Last fall, camps were established at Fort Dix, N. and Hamilton Air Force Base, Just before Christmas "box offs" were held and the winners were invited to Fort Carson, to try and earn a spot on the team that fights the Kussians. Ratliff failed to earn a spot on the card" which was televised nationally from Las Vegas yesterday but he will fight Tuesday.

His opponent will be 21-year-old Oleg Karatayev, a Russian student boxing champion who attends Moscow Physical Culture Institute. Two other Americans familiar to local boxing fans beecause they fought, for the Kentucky Pacers of the International Boxing League last year will also fight Tuesday night. Lightweight Norman Goins will fight Nikolai Khromov, a 24-year-old trainee teacher who has won 135 of 145 bouts, and flyweight Greg Lewis will fight Leonid Bugayvsky, a hard-punching soldier in the Red Army. Lewis decisioned Bugayvsky in yesterday's televised bouts, but the United States team lost to the Russians 6-5. The U.S.

team won the final four fights to make the match close as welterweight Jesse Valdez of Houston and heavyweight Ron Lyle of Denver scored knockouts. Goins' opponent on Tuesday night, Khromov, was upset by inexperienced Javier Muniz of California who won a decision. Bantamweight Richie Carreras and light-flyweight (106 pounds) Gary Griffin will be other Americans who are expected to battle Russian opponents here. Carreras, a New York City Golden Gloves champion before he joined the Air Force, will fight Anatole Lecischev, a 20-year-old newcomer to the Russian International team who is being groomed for the Olympic Games at Munich next year.

1st St. 583-4888 (Between Liberty Walnut) By KEN RUSH Courier-Journal Times Staff Writer A veteran and a "supersub" are responsible for two of the most unusual comebacks in Louisville bowling this season. The veteran is Ron Lutz, a bowler for 17 of his 44 years. Until five years ago, Ron's delivery was an unorthodox "backup" ball that broke sharply into the pins from the left side instead of the right. Unorthodox or not, he was extremely effective with the style, usually averaging in the 190s and posting a total of five 700 series, topped by a 725.

Then Ron decided to change to a more conventional delivery that is, developing a ball that breaks in from the right side as it does for most right-handers. It was a struggle, though, and his scoring suffered. But Ron persevered and, just Friday night, he came up with his first 700 in all those five years. It was a 705 in the Thel-mal Major League, where he's averaging 187. Now there's new urge The supersub, if you can call him that, is 35-year-old Tom Simpson, who recently soared to a 668 series in the Forester League at Rockford Lanes.

His story is a little more complicated. Tom, you see, used to roll regularly in leagues. At least, he rolled in one every season for five or six years. Got his average up to 160, too. Two years ago, because of his work and for other reasons, he quit the sport.

Except for a couple of practice games, he STRIKES SPARES-Nelson Burton Jr. of St. Louis, the son of a member of bowling's national Hall of Fame, has been picked as 1970 Bowler of the Year by the Bowling Writers Association of America. Left-hander Mike McGrath of El Cerrito, was second in the voting and Dave Soutar of Gilroy, third. Earlier, the writers picked Mary Baker of Central Islip, N.Y., as Woman Bowler of the Year.

Dorris Newton, a former Louisville-area bowler who now lives in Campbells-ville, phoned excitedly last week with the news that his son, Timmy, just 10, had rolled a 637 series in a league at Camp-bellsville's Bolarama Lanes. Timmy has a 151 season average. The Newtons moved there six months ago. Louisville's Rickie Kohlhorst (average 176) clicked for an 871 series for four games in the Ladies' Classic League at Thelmal Lanes. She started with 246-236-180 for a three-game 662 and then added a 209.

Art Jackie, who started a new golf tournament for bowlers as president of the Greater Louisville Bowling Association last year, says the second edition will be held May 28-31 and June 4-5 at Iroquois Golf Course. He's shooting for 150 entrants (106 took part in the first tourney). ATTENTION Buiclt, Chrysler, Dodge, Mercury, Idsmobile, T-Bird and Pontiac owners son. I may get to sub some more, though." He may, at that, when the word gets around. MEMPHIS-BOUND Max Weinstein of Louisville, a director of the Southern Bowling Congress, says 20 men's teams have signed up for "Louisville weekend" at the SBC's annual tournament at Memphis on March 6 and 7.

This fell short of the 36 teams that local leaders had hoped would fill the entire opening squad of the Memphis renewal but "we're well satisfied and there will be at least a half dozen others going to the tournament," Weinstein said. Louisvillians hope to have strong representations at the tourney for the next two years to support their invitation to hold it here in 1974. Birmingham is the 1972 host. TRIPLETT CHOSEN Gene Triplett has been named executive secretary of both the Louisville and Kentucky State Bowling Proprietor Associations, succeeding Len Rutledge, who resigned recently to become manager at Spare Time Lanes. "We think we've got a good man," said Lou Frantz, president of the Louisville THINK SERVICE 1072 RHGHNAL EQUIPMENT TIRES didn touch a bowling ball until one night earlier this season.

Then a friend asked him to sub in the league at Rockford. Tom isn't particularly proud of his showing that night. In fact, he averaged just 135 for his three games. But the friend asked him to sub again recently, and that's when he rattled off games of 246, 235 and 187 for his 668. Now he has his first 600 and his average is a big 179! Asked if that didn't give him the urge to return to regular league bowing, Tom said: "It sure does, but maybe not this sea- proprietors' organization.

"He has a fine background in both bowling and office management." Gene, 49, served as manager at Hikes Point Lanes for six years in the early 1960s.

Earlier, he swept past Dick Weber of St. Louis 257-203 and then edged lefthander Johnny Petraglia of New York 208-203. Johnson thus had a total of 734 for his three showdown games.
