REPUBLIC Tage 4 (Section 3)'. The Arizona Republic, Phoenix, Arizona. August 17, 1958 Champ And Roy Ready For Fistfest IS 7 ord set by Sugar Ray Robinson and Bobo Olson at Wrigley Field, May 18, 1956. Reserved tickets range from $10 to $30. Regardless of the gate or theatre-TV sales, Harris has been guaranteed $100,000 so he wouldn't pull out of the fight if approached by the rival International Boxing Club.

And Patterson has been assured at least broke camp yesterday at Arrowhead Springs, and motored into Los Angeles with his party. He will be making his first fight outside of Texas. Although he is an unbeaten challenger, he is also an obsecure contender because practically no one outside Texas ever saw him in action. In sparring sessions at Cut $210,000, with chances of making more on an involved pre-centage deal with the Tele-prompter Corporation, which has television, radio and movie rights. Black-haired, glittery -eyed Harris a strange combination of backwoodsman, college graduate, 2nd lieutenant in the field artillery reserve, school teacher, and prize-fighrtcr LOS ANGELES (UPI)-FIoyd Patterson, a question -mark champion, and Roy Harris, lightly regarded challenger, finished training yesterday for their puzzling heavyweight title fight at Wrigley Field tomorrow night.

Harris, a modernized backwoodsman from Cut and Shoot, is unbeaten in 22 professional bouts; but whether he could make even a decent "I "If showing against the inactive champion from Mt. Vernon, N.Y., was entirely uncertain. Young Floyd was favored at 5-1 and higher. Equally uncertain were prospects for a crowd and gate at Wrigley Field and for the sale of seats at 151 theaters in 136 cities where the scheduled 15-rounder will be shown by closed circuit TV (at the Shrine Auditorium in Phoenix). There will be no home TV or radio.

Promoter Bill Rosenhorn, 38, and attempting his first fight presentation, was hoping for a crowd of 18,000 and a gate of $300,000. But persons close to the box office said he would be lucky to wind up with as much as $228,500 the Calfiornia rec and Shoot, at Camp Holden, and at Arrowhead he did little to his stock. He displayed "awkward cleverness," fast hands and a sneak-ered right but little power and a weak defense. He is an upright fighter with "good -legs," who prefers to let his feet keep him at long range for counter-punching. At close quarters, he merely tries to tie-up his opponent.

Nevertheless, his 22 victories Include wins over high-ranked Willie Pastrano, Willi Besman-off, Big Bob Baker, and Char-ley Norkus. He registered nine knockouts. He expects to weigh 192 pounds. Should he beat Patterson, he would be the second Texas-born heavyweight ruler. Jack Johnson, champ from 1908 to 1915, was born near Galveston, Tex.

Patterson will be attempting the third defense of the vacant crown he won by knocking out venerable Archie Moore in November, 1956 after Rocky Mar-ciano had retired. In Floyd's first defense he stopped Hurricane Jackson (10) in July, last year. Neither champion nor challenger ever fought 15 rounds although each has gone 12.

U.S. Youth, 75, Captures Chess Play Vera Traylor was well aware that he was working on a 300 Friday night when he won that new Thunderbird car at Thunder-bird Lanes. After the sixth frame, he heard somebody yell "just six more to go, Vera." After the eighth, the crowd gathered around him and someone said "Can I ride in your new Thunder-bird?" "I'm glad they kept up the chatter," Traylor said later.

"I'd rather have them do that than keep a deathly silence. Boy, was I nervous!" It's traditional not to comment on a potential 300 as it Is with a no-hit game In baseball but Traylor didn't mind the breach of custom. The U.S. forces, led by 68-year-old Captain Perry Jones of Los Angeles, thus clinched the American Zone title and qualified to meet the Italy-Philippines winner Souchak birdied two of the first three holes and finished with a 34 on the front nine and picked up three birdies on the back nine.

The last time the Curtis Cup match ended in a tie, back in 1336, Pam Barton, a 19-year-old English girl, came over and added the American title to her British- women's championship.

That was the last time the title has gone overseas or that anyone has completed the classic double of women's golf. Wee Burn, located on hilly, woodsy terrain, can be a fairly severe test, especially in such a long tournament. It has trees, traps, and a small brook as hazards and eight dogleg holes.
