(hi Hi in PrbflieS From the Pcist: Tommy Sullivan Put Down Papers Gained Headlines 'Brooklyn' Thinks McGovern Was Tops The greatest fighter he ever fought? Tommy Sullivan had a difficult time deciding and he never did get around to saying exactly who it was. You could tell from his conversation, however, that he regarded Terry McGovern as tops. "I fought him 10 rounds to a draw," said Tommy, "and you can bet I was glad it was over. He was shifty and he could punch." iarnBifiirTiiiiii- rf uli Bill Bridges May Be Out For Season By John J. Archibald In an effort to add to their defensive strength, the Hawka today traded Barney Cable to the Chicago Zephyrs for Woody Sauldsberry.

There wan no cash involved, according to Hawks owner Ben Kerner. "It is likely that Bill Bridges will be out for the remainder of the season because of his knee injury," said Kerner, "and we felt that Sauldsberry's experience fa National Basketball Association playoffs would help us. He is an outstanding defensive player, and with Mike Farmer we now have two of the best in the league." Cable had a 6.1 scoring average and Sauldsberry has 13.S mark. Both are 6-foot-7. Cable is 27 and Sauldsberry 28.

Woody was with the Hawks for most of two seasons and was particularly effective in the 1961-62 playoffs when he filled in for injured Clyde Lo-vellette as the Hawks beat the Los Angeles Lakers, four games to three. Sauldsberry was traded to Chicago along with Si Green and Joe Oraboski for Cable and Archie Dees in November, 1962. Tonight the Hawks will play the Nats in Syracuse In a game starting at 8: IS St. Louis time. They will be in Chicago to play the Zephyrs tomorrow night.

The game will be televised over Channel 11.

Dickinson, Kneece Top Golf Classic PALM SPRINGS, Jan 31 (AP) Harold Kneece and veteran Gardner Dickinson, each with opening rounds of 66, paced the $50,000 Palm Springs Golf Classic today, but a hot Gary Player was close by with C7. "I hope this doesn't sound lihs I'm bragging, but I can truthfully say my game right now is the best in my life," said the South African star. His was the best card of golf's big three.

United States Open champion Jack Nick-laus shot a 69 and defending champion Arnold Palmer had to scramble for a 71 par over the Indian Wells course. It Is rated one of the easier of the four courses used In the marathon 90-hole tournament. Palmer said, "I never played better or putted worse. My putting was sickening." Palmer had spent Tuesday night twisting in the clubhouse. Wednesday night he by-passed the golfing fun and gave himself a stiff putting lesson on the practice greens.

Bob Shave of Willoughby, Ohio, was a surprising name among the leaders. He was tied with Player at 67. Another un-touted pro was Pat Schwab of Wilmington, Del. He shot a 69 opening round to tie with Tommy Aaron, Dave Hill and Bo Wininjer. Bunched at 69 with Nicklaus were Tommy Bolt, Jimmy De maret, George Bayer, Johnny Pott, John Cook, Jay Ilebert and Moon Mullins.

Sam Snead, who shot a 72 In his first tournament of the year, said he did not have one three-putt green. "But," added Slammln' Sam, "I sank only one putt further than three feet." Kldon Tourney. (Oold Semifinals) Rossdlvllle vs. 8t. Bllzaneth, T.

Sandy haired Brooklyn Tommy Sullivan, nearly 82 years old, could still make the featherweight limit of 126 pounds if he had to. There were no marks on his face to indicate that he had a boxing career spanning 25 years during whdch'he fought numerous 20-round bouts against men such as Abe Attell, Terrible Terry McGovern, George Dixon and the like. He's spending his vintage years at 4121A Botanical avenue with his wife, Delia, nee Murray) to whom he will have been married 62 years next August. Thomas F. Sullivan has been known as Brooklyn Tommy since the turn of the century when he started boxing In Brooklyn.

He was given the nickname to distinguish him from several other Sullivans who were boxing in the east at the time Tommy Sullivan, Lawrence, and Jack (Twin) Sullivan, Mike's broth-. er of Cambridge, Mass. Tommy will be 82 Feb. 27, and his only complaint about retirement is that he has so little to do. "This age thing works against you," he said.

"I'm as active as I ever was, but nobody wants you to work for them at my age." Still Seeks Action. "He putters around the cellar with carpenter's tools," Mrs. Sullivan said. "He looks outside to see about the weather. He reads a bit and is always seeking action." How about television? "I don't care too much for said Tommy.

"I look at some of the programs, but you can't stay at it all day. I shovel snow off the steps and sidewalks, and in the summer I cut the grass, but that still leaves me with a great deal of time on my hands." Tommy started his boxing career in Brooklyn in 1897. After he had won an amateur championship, he was selling newspapers on a street corner one night when an ac- Promoter Once Fled Before Paying Tommy Tommy Sullivan's largest purse was $1250 when he met Abe Attell the second time in San Francisco. Abe stopped Tommy in four rounds. His lowest? "Well, It would have to be for a fight in Norwalk, Tommy said with a laugh.

"I forget whom I fought, but the match was promoted by a member of the Police Gazette staff. "After it was all over the promoter couldn't be found. The receipts were small, and he couldn't keep his promises to us. He didn't have the nerve to face us. So he took a powder.

We got nothing. That would have to be th lowest." motion of boxing for a while at the Future City A. C. at Nineteenth and Chestnut streets. M.A.C.

Coach. These promotions of Sullivan's were not too prosperous and he became the boxing coach at the Missouri Athletic Club, a post he held several years. Then Tommy promoted a few bouts, and also refereed at the old Coliseum, Jefferson and Washington avenues. One of these was the contest by Jimmy Wilde, "the Mighty English flyweight champion, and Babe Asher. The fight packed 'em In.

A blizzard began to rage while the fight was in progress, and the spectators had considerable difficulty getting home. A turn as a deputy sheriff In the warrant office was Tommy's last job. He has never lost his Interest in boxing, and still watches many bouts on television he can't see them in person. (Next: Bud Orf.)

HA. 9-1313 Sullivan Considers Pep on Par With Old-Timo Boxers What modern era fighter would Tommy Sullivan consider on a par with the old-timers, such as himself, Abe Attell, Terry ov George Dixon? "Willie Pep," said Tommy emphatically, "he's of the old school. He knew how to move around, make an opponent miss, then he was ready with a punch of his own. And he could hit.

"He was better than Abe Attell ever was because Pep could hit and Abe was never much of a puncher. "Pep was like Terry McGovern. He could bewilder an opponent. McGovern could do that. It's mighty discouraging to be fighting a man you can't hit and suddenly you get hit.

McGovern could do that. So could Pep." quaintance asked him if he would like to make a few dollars. "Would Tommy an-iwered. "Show me." He tossed the newspapers away and went with the man, who took him to Troy, N. for his first pro bout.

He was on his way. Boxing was barred by law in New York a few years later, and Tommy heard about the World's Fair coming to St. Louis in 1904. He followed many cf his acquaintances here and has remained ever since. He knocked out Abe Attell, here in 1904.

Attell was later to become a featherweight champion and one of the most storied boxers in ring history. There was considerable controversy over Sullivan's victory because Attell claimed he had been fouled. "I hit him with a left hook to the body," Sullivan said, "and an examination by three doctors could find no evidence of a low blow. So referee Harry Sharpe declared me the victor by a knockout." Feather Claim. Some thought the triumph gave Sullivan a claim to the featherweight title.

Actually, it didn't because the crown was held then by McGovern, who had knocked out George Dixon in five rounds to gain the honor. "And jf I had got to Dixon first, I would have had the title," Tommy said. "After McGovern kayoed Dixon, George wanted to make a comeback and started out with me," the St. Louisan said. "I knocked out Dixon in five rounds." Four years after Sullivan stopped Attell here, they met again in San Francisco and Attell was the kayo winner In four rounds.

Sullivan's ring career ended in 1912, and he turned to the pro Scl Dial For Comfort An automatic humidistat control is included with your humidifier.
