TODAY'S SPORT PARADE
By OSCAR FRALEY
>' (United Pre** Sports Writer)
MIAMI Oh Bobby Dykes was "made” today even In fistic fru
stration.
The skinny slugger from San Antone failed by a *Um six points
to win the welterweight championship of the world from Kid Oavi
lan. Rut as a 4 to 1 underdog who almost came through, he was done
, battling for biscuits.
Disappointed, sure. For when you come close to hitting the jack
pot nobody expected you to, may be not even yourself, it’s mighty hard
to take. ■*
So his face was etched with lines of despair last night after
Gavllan won a split decision by the razor-thin-edge of 428 points
to 422 in the first mixed fight in Florida ring history. And hs fru
strated fists hammered the dressing room table as he moaned —
"They told me I couldn't go 15 rounds, but now I know I could
| have opened up more. That’s what hurts. And besides, my comer kept
i telling me from the 10th round on that I was way ahead on points.
i| I was sure of it, too.”
The stringy six-footer, who packs only 147 pounds, got off poorly be
cause of -nervous stomach which usually bothers him before he
fights. It caused him to cancel one fight several months ago.
“It was the same way out there against Gavilan," he grinned, rub
, bing a red bruise under his right eye. "My stomach was tied in
' knots and I couldn’t move out of my own way in those first two
rounds.”
Gavilan shook those knots loose with a rousing right hand to Bob
by's chops in the second round. It dumped the quiet, cleanspeaking
23-year-old flat on his back and his head bounced against the canvas.
“I thought for a second that maybe I should have stayed in
Texas and stuck, to my earlier ambition to be a rodeo rider,” Bobby
grinned. "No horse ever bounced me harder."
But Dykes, who fishes with golfer Sam Snead' and wants to
try his angling skill with Ted Williams, proved his gameness righ'
there. He bounced up, clutched grimly through the rest of the roun. 1
and part of the next, and then proceeded to take the play away
from the free-swinging champion.
“If Bobby didn’t win that one, he never won one in his life,"
barked his manager, Jimmy Parks. •
I A lot of other folks thought so, too.
Manager Hurley Has Double Desire;
Cash For Matthews, IBC Revenge
Bv BILL McFAFLAND
<U P Sports Writer)
SEATTLE, Wash, (lb Jack
Hurley, manager of Seattle light
heavyweight sehsation Harry “Kid”
Matthews, today holds three aces
and a kicker against a full house
in one of boxing’s greatest gambles.
The cagy handler of Matthews
is betting the cash of a millionaire
Las Vegas, Nev, gambler, him
self and his fighting ace, against
the International Boxing Club, the
National Boxing Association, the
New York Athletic Commission,
crown once worn by fellow coun
tryman Marcel Cerdan, who died
in 1949 en route to the United
States to regain the title he lost,
earlier to Jake La Motta.
Hairston, on the other hand, has
come up fast, leaving a long list
of victims • behind him.
The bout is a toss-up. Hairston
once ruled as a 9 to 5 favorite
but the odds now standt at 6 to 5,
take your choice on the winner.
• Y rVV - "ye*
tick DAILY RECORD, DUNN* A* €X
and an ex-champion.
The kicker is Felix Bocchicchio,
manager of heavyweight champion
Jersey Joe Walcott.
The stakes—a title shot for Mat
thews with Walcott.
INTERESTING ARRANGEMENT
The pot is oozing over with more
than $250,000 guaranteed to Wal
cott. Hurley has tipped his hand,
but is waiting for a call from Jim
Norris. IBC president, who has
been cohferring with Bocchicchio
in Miami, Fla. It is reported Boc
chicchio already has dipped into
the pot.
The pros and cons of Matthews’
rights to a title fight with Walcott
have been hashed from one end
of the country to the other. That
doesn’t matter to Hurley. The gam
ble is the thing, and if he wins,
he will have accomplished a coup
he’s been gunning for during the
last two years—a victory over his
enemy, the IBC.
Hurley and Matthews have been
waiting for this one.
WAY BACK WHEN '
It all started in 1950, says Hur
ley. when “the BBC. turned dawn
Matthews as a semi-main even ter.
“I told them then that someday
they’d be asking for Harry. You’ll
have him in your hair from this
day on. You’ll have to have him
because I’m going to make a great
fighter out of him. and then when
you want him, you’ll have to pay
through the nose to get him.”
It might be said that Hurley is
no respecter of titles, except the
heavy crown. That may have been
the reason for dodging the Joey
Maxim scrap after he yelled long
and loud to get a shot. Now the
championship he wants most is
within his grasp and He knew it
was coming when he turned down
a Maxim-Matthews bout.
“A champion isn't free,” urgues
Hurley. “His matches are decided
by promoters and boxing commis
sioners. Look at poor old Walcott.
He wants to fight Matthews in the
worst way and see what he’s go
ing through.” .
DETERMINATION AND CASH
‘There is* Only one reason for
being in the boxing business. That's
money,” said Hurley. “Titles .
Riory . . . scrapbooks don’t mean-a
thing. The money counts.”
He recalls another fighter of top
caliber he once handled—Billy Pe
trolle. “He didn’t have a cham
pionship pr fancy scrapbook, but
when he got blue, I always told
him to look at his bankbook. When
I made Billy retire he had about
*250,000 saved.”
“And that is the way it will be
with Harry. He is going to get
what it is worth to be in this busi
ness. and right now the big chips
are down. Let ’em holler anything
they like, but my boy is going to
get a decant break in boxing” said
Deacon Jack.

a sharpshooting William and Mary)
guard teamed up last night to shat-;
ter North Carolina .State’s perfect)
Southern Conference record and
fiut the Wolfpack’s league leader-1
ship in dire jeopardy today.
As the Indians have done three
years in a row in Norfolk, William
and Mary upset highly-favored,
State last night in a nip-and-tuck
battle. 70 to 61.
The loss gave State an 0-1 con
ference mark. Challenging West
Virginia can equal that with a Win
over North Carolina at Morgan
town tonight.
The Wolfpack, playing its third
rought game in four da vs, had
trouble at the free-throw line and,
frequent fouls disrupted State’s
fast break.
Led by lanky Joe Agee, William
and Marv played a slow, deliberate
°tim> and showed remarkable ac
curacy under the basket.
The Tribe, beaten by 36 points
in an earlier State game here, led
at halftime 35 to 34.
LEADER!) IN UPSET
Agee scared 20 paints to lead the
Indians. Center Bill Chambers con
