Then, she zoomed through the stretch to win by a nose.

Shoemaker didn't think Cleveland Lane would make it. "I thought so even in the last 30 yards," he said. "Belle Noire must have just collapsed at the end because I wasn't picking her up that fast."

Then he added: "But I used to have a sore back all the time from shoveling coke at the Brockton Back Gas Works. For this I get paid better." "Inside the ring he was a lion, outside a lamb," was the way Walcott described Marciano. Former champ Sonny Liston said Marciano "was one of the greatest champions there ever was," and deposed champion Cassius Clay told a reporter Marciano was "the only one that would have given me some trouble." Although respected by those who fought him, Marciano's free-swinging, plodding style found little praise with the boxing experts.

"However," Marciano "once remarked after his retirement, "20 years from now fight fans will look at my record and know I fought everybody around and never lost a fight.

"This game can't be rushed. You've got to capitalize on your good shots and not let the bad ones get you down," Lunn said. And that's exactly the formula he used in whipping the thin, tiring Hill. Hill, three strokes behind with three holes to play, closed bird- le-oirdie-birdie for a 66 that tied him with Lunn, who had 'a final 67.
