Because Olson is incapable of formulating a strategic pattern and carrying it out even such a simple one that stresses pressure on aging legs thru constant movement on the common sense reasoning that a veteran must eventually run out of gas expose his vulnerability or fall on his kisser If Olson could be dumb in Chicago he could he just as dumb in Los Angeles tomorrow night and so as a blue chip investment I would not rate him with General Motors Nashua or the Indians' pitching On the other hand anybody who makes a practice of betting on old pappy guy fighters is nuts In order to win the pappies when they are facing pretty good opposition must have everything break just right for them Robinson is so much better a puncher than Olson it would be like comparing Mickey Mantle and Phil Rizzuto for power But like any other puncher he must hit the target dead center to count A hit just below or just above can be hurtful hut lacks that fast lethal effect the pappies must get to survive Olson Fought Several Bad Fights I used to be high on Olson but now I don't know I hold the Archie Moore knockout against him because he shouldn't have been in the same ring with the battling Don Juan unless he wanted his autograph or hear him recite a love poem Perhaps I got oversold on him because he worked in close with those short digs to the belly reminded me of Mike Gibbons or maybe he lost everything all of a sudden Anyway he's had three or four stinkers in a row have to believe this is the same Olson that Robinson conked last December and that if he again asks to be knocked out he'll find the Sugar Man as kindly and courteous as ever 264 I 2631 256 1 178 BACK WITH TRIBE Den Griffin one of the standout maskmen in the Southern League while catching for the Memphis Chicks Dixie
