Today's Sports Parade By OSCAR FRALEY United Press Sports Writer GREENWOOD LAKE, N. Y. (TO Life in the country is little short of aggravating today for light heavyweight champion Archie Moore and lightweight champion Paddy DeMarco. Conditions should be ideal for both of them as they prep for title defenses. The food is good and the setting is scenic at picturesque Long :-*ond Inn where there are training. But, then, there is Tommy Hurricane Jackson. “And that is really something,” groans DeMarco, giv ing the impression that he and Moore both will be rooting for Nino Valdes when the Cuban battles the Hurricane at, Madison Square Garden next Wednesday night. Avid Guitar Player You don’t have to frequent the camp long to get the drift. The Hurricane’s passions, more or less in order, are fighting, playing the guitar or the hamonica and singing. Aiding and abetting the latter inclinations is a micro phone. “Music is fine,” DeMarco complains, “but enough is enough.” The Hurricane, it seems goes for just the way he fights. That, as you possibly know, means he keeps throl ing from bell to bell. But there’s no bell to stop him in the music department. Jackson is just as likely to start strumming his “git tar” at 6 a. m., meanwhile yodeling an accompaniment into the microphone. He switches, freestyle, to the har monica at interval and then goes back to plunking on the guitar. Cowboy songs are his favorite and, as DeMarco sdfs: i “I don’t know whether I’m getting ready for a rodeo or a fight with Jimmy Carter.” The Hurricane does his training the same way. An iron-muscled man of 22, he confesses that he likes to box 12 rounds and then do “about” 25 rounds of gym work. When his trainers chase him away from the gym, .Jack son goes back to his music. Twc-hour sessions in front of the staggering microphone are, to him, a rather limited vocal workout. . > Boats Bore Him Seldom does Jackson stray from the path beaten be tween the gym and the training quarters. Others may de light ih the nine-mile lake, set like a glistening jewel in the eye-catching hills of the Ramapos, but the Hurricane has been out on the water only twice. The first time was to take his first ride in a canoe. He fell asleep. The second time was to take his first ride in a motor boat. He fell asleep. But Tommy can get up early or stay up late to play the guitar or his harmonica and sing those endless cow boy songs. He doesn’t even want to take time out to eat. When Eddie Coco, his trainer, insists that he have a good dinner, he laid down his guitar with a sigh and said: “Okay, I’ll have the same thing I had yesterday.” “I’ll order you chopped sirloin steak,” Coco replied. Tommy growled. “I WANT HAMBURGER.” With that he went back to his music but there are a number of savage beats in this training camp which aren’t soothing. befenutfo \mmc- 1 tvluf |xuf more?
