THE CAROLINIAN File RademacherVows Hell Whip Patterson; Points To His L ong Amateur Record In Boxing SEATTLE (ANP) Evidently Pete Radernaeher doesn’t scare easily The balding fighter and former Arrny lieutenant expressed firm confidence—or at least he in dicated as much—that he will de feat Floyd Patterson and win the heavyweight title in their match in Seattle Aug. 22, He is confident, he said, evfn after watching Pat terson, tne 22-year-old “Boy Cham pion’’ hand funnyman Tommy Hurricane' Jackson a frightful beating in their recent champion ship match in New York. According to Radernaeher, Pat terson displayed flaws in the bout, with Jacason which he (Rade macher) plans to exploit. He also feels his size, speed and punch will decide the bout in his favor. Said Radernaeher of the Patter son bout: "I’ve been waiting ten years for this chance and I’m confident I will win.’’ He added: ■‘l’ve beer, a amateur for 10 years in the AAU and Golden Gloves and 1 think I can more than hold BEATING THE GUN By BILL BROWER For A. X, ». When the wire service story came through in May reporting that righthander Joe Black had '“been sold by the Seattle Rainers of the Pacific Coast. League to Tulsa of the Texas League, there was a touch of sadness here. It wouldn't bn too long, we mus ed, before they’d be writing Black’s sports obituary. Late last season, Black had bean sent to Seattle by the Cincinnati Redlegs. The Bedlegs had acquired him from Brooklyn in 1058. This | sort, of pattern generally has | marked the beginning of the end : of many a ball player. But just last week Black was j again in the news. He was essay ! mg s comeback as a major leaguer. He was signed by the Washington Senators, a team that certainly is in need of mound help. Whether or not he makes it. Joe ; probably will be best remembered ! as a one-shot sensation. For one I season (1952!, Black won the plau ! dits of the sports world. He was j ; baseball’s outstanding relief pitch i er that year. He had arrived in the majors after a mediocre 1951 season In the minors — 1 and 9 for Montreal and 4 and 3 for St. Paul. Few in the Brooklyn organization expected that the Morgan State College alumnus would he around after spring training. Certainly, the wiseac res surmised, he would be gone when the squad was cut down j to the. 25-player limit But Black was very much around | at the end of the season. In fact, : he had just about pitched the Dod ! gets into the World Series. Ha won | 15 games and lost four and saved i 15 others. He appeared in 56 games, i | io set a Brooklyn record, hurling ; j 142 innings while chalking up an j earned run mark of 2.15 ! Needless to say, he was the Ns -1 tional League’s Rookie of the Year I and missed out on the Most Valu able Player award by a quirk tn the voting. Black climaxed fha* season with a sterling performance in the World Series. He won the opener I against the New Vovk Yankees, 4 to 2, on a six-hitter. In the sev p» innings of the fourth game, he 5 allowed three hits and one run. ■ but had to be lifted for a pinch I I hatter then because his mound , i foe of the first game, A Hie Rey ■ molds, had blanked the Dodgers. , After the 1952 campaign, Black ■ started downhill He was in 34 1 games for the Ddodgei** in 1953 i ending the season with a ff-to-3 re ; cord During the season, when he wasn't going too well, ft was *ug : gested that he go beck to the min- ] . or* to see if he could recapture j ! hi» mastery. i Joe. a student of psychology, re > plied that he could win just as well in the majors as he could in ; the minors. But Black never quite -well, he was never agotn the Black of 1952 What happened*' There was public tcaHmony at tributed to Black to The effect that Charlie Dresson then manager of Dodgers, tampered with his detiv j *ry. The story which Black repor tedly passed onto * reporter was this: During- the winter season af ter his great year, a major league player persuaded Dres ser* that .toe’s success had been a fluke. The player said Black had been tipping his pitches. This player said he was living proof of It —he had read one of Black’s serves and socked a home run. “That apparently did it." the r< - porter quoted Black as saying. “In spring training, Dresden told me in effect that 1 would have to come up with some new pitches He assign ed one guy to teach me the fork screw ball and still another to ball, another to teach me the show me a knuckle ball. “I experimented—and completely lost my control.” As is ball player’s won't. Black denied the story later. The con sensus, however, that he was be ln;.’ tactful' toward Drossen. The Irony of the situation is this: Dressen might have had a good deal to do with giving Black ano ther shot in the majors. He is in charge of player procurement for i the Senators, having been booted upstairs when dismissed a* rosrui months ago was hospitalized for * j heart attack. Besides his mother. Mrs. Clare E.
