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.

S. Paul Want
Big Baseball
Kansas City, St. Paul and Min
neapolis want major league base
ball and they mean business about
getting it.
These towns are out to provide
ball parks which will meet big
league standards. . .. ....
Perhaps because they’re Ameri
can Association towns close to the
Milwaukee miracle, they are more
conscious of how big league base
ball would captivate their fans At
any rate, they’re out ahead in the
vital matter of providing playing
facilities that will be suitable.
Kansas City will vote Aug. 3 in
a bond election that includes a
2 million dollar proposition for en
largement of Blues Stadium.
The park already is one of thp
finest and if the bond issue* goes
through, the park will be acquired
by the city and enlarged from its
17.400 seating capacity to 35,000.
HAVE JOINT PLAN
Minneapolis and St. Paul, which
■Jsldom get together on other
things, have a Joint plan to build
a brand new park, probably in a
central area between the towns in
a vast population area of 1.200,000.
Both cities have put “major league
committees” to work to expedite ac
tivity.
St. Paul’s City Council has au
thority to issue 2 million dollars
worth of stadium bonds as result
of an election last November. The
Minneapolis Council last week
asked the city attorney for permis
sion to issue up to 5 million dol
lars in bonds for the same pur-

WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, JULY 7, 1954
Dunn In Sports
By ABE ELMORE
The past week-end was one of the
largest in the history of the Dunn
Swimming Pool reported Coach
Paul Waggoner. A total of 3324
participated in the activities at the
pool over the period of the five day
holiday season.
The rush started on Thursday the
first day of July and ended on Mon
day the fifth. Waggoner did not
have the old records available for
comparison but he said that he -.as
definite that the total was the lar
gest ever. A total of 1,424 paid for
swimming permission while 300 were
admitted free. This gave the total
of 1724 for paid admissions and a
total of 1,500 were spectators which
gave the overall total of 3324. The
biggest day for paid swimmers was
July 5 when 489 entered the pool.
Friday was the next large paid at
tendance with 248. The fourth of
July was suppose to be the big day at
the pool, but it turned out to be
the smallest attendance of the en
tire five day period.
The Dunn Girl’s Softball team
will not play this week as had been
expected. The locals were trying to
get a game with Johnson-Lambe of
Raleigh but the game could not be
arranged. Henry Hutaff reports he
thinks that the girls will enter the
softball tournament In Smlthfleld
around July 19.
The Recreation Commission will
