Warm Months Regarded Best For Wrestling Promoter Sees Best Grappling Boom Iii History This Summer By BOB CUBBEDGE COLUMBUS, O. was when wrestling figured as more or less a seasonal sport, with most of the "grunt 'n groaners" going into hibernation for the summer months.

Columbus Promoter Al Haft predicts however, that wrestling will see its greatest boom in history during the warm that is, Eaft, one of wrestling's top front men, promotes and books talent each week of the year for exhibitions in such cities as Columbus, Dayton, Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, and points in between. Now that the thermometer has gone up, Haft has moved his talent into the open air, the better for both spectators and sportsmen alike. Why does Haft think wrestling has caught on so suddenly? His The self-styled "hustler" contends that television has built wrestling into the nation's top spectator sport, now seen by more fans throughout the year than even basketball. Haft is grateful for television's benefits, but he also was one of the first to recognize video's detrimental effects. Calls Halt That is why his regular matches no longer are televised.

That also is why Al was instrumental in promoting the first wrestling matches ever staged in a television studio, at television's expense, primarily for television viewers. Haft was quick to 'jump on the television bandwagon when it hit Ohio and neighboring states. Attendance at his matches jumped accordingly for a time. Then it began to fall. Al was averaging only around 1,500 spectators per program when he called a halt to the video broadcasts.

His average attendance totals have more than doubled since that time. Money In Sport The wrestling big man's main center of activities stretches from Cincinnati to Pittsburgh. Occasionally, however, he books a couple of matches as far east as New York's Madison Square Garden. Al's chief attractions include such wrestling luminaries as Chief Don Gorgeous George, Lord Blear: and Frank Sexton. On the distaff 'side he features Violet Viann, Ellen Olson, Theresa Theis, Mae Young and others.

Haft used to promote boxing in a big way in addition to his wrestling chores. But for the present he has switched to wrestling almost clusively, and with good reason. There's money in the sport now Boxing Racket Has Improved Despite What Fans May Think By LAWTON CARVER NEW some respects the boxing acket has improved in recent years no matter whit I may hink about it. Ray Robinson's defense of his world welterweight cham- ionship against Charlie Fusarl ersey City, N. next Thursday ight is an example of improved hinking on the part of our leading tood-Ietters.

Robinson is fighting for one dol- i and giving the rest of his purse the Damon Runyon Cancer Fund, situation serious enough to cause ome of the leading lights of other ras to think he should be expelled rom the "Loyal Order of Grab All 'ou Can For Yourself." In addition to giving his entire that one lonely buck the cancer fund, Robinson is oing his own personal utmost to eip put the show over. Fusari is ontributing to the charity and the romoters are joining in by giving he fund a cut of the gate. Genuine Charity This, therefore, is about as near a genuine charity show that you re likely to find, and not one of he kind that prevailed in the not oo long ago, when often the fight- rs and promoters took all the money and left charity scuffling to reak even. Aside from and Haft is getting it getting is good. while the the charity aspects the show, these two should put a good it may be loser than you think.

Robinson is the big favorite as ie justifiably should'be considering hat he is one of the greatest fight- rs of these or any other times. But how good he will be in taking off solid heft to get down from eli above 150 to the division limit 147 is the thing that can maks his a tough fight for the champion. There seems to be no doubt that has out-grown the welterweight ivision and now is a full-fledged middleweight who probably would at his best up around 155. Becomes Ordeal To make 147 pounds has become ordeal for him, requiring harder ork, more drying out and less arefree Tomfoolry than in the old ays. The tougher it is for him to et that weight off the easier it wiil for Fusari to make a good fight, nd perhaps win despite crazy bet- ing odds.

Fusari had Rocky Graziano pret- well whipped through their memorable fight of last summer, theu ran into one of Graziano's wildly- lung hay-makers in the last round. He looked great until he lost with TWO TILTS TONIGHT SET AT PENN AVENUE A twin-bill is scheduled this evening under the lights at Penn Avenue.
