PAGE FOUR today's Sports Parade By JACK CVDDf United Press Sports Writer NEW YORK (TP) Don’t look now, although you might j want to take a peek Friday night, but there’s another Kid Oavilan in our midst. He is strangely named Isaac Logart, a 22-year-old wel terweight who battles Gil Turner as the rodeo moves out and boxing moves back to Madison Square Garden four days hence. Logart is like Gavilan in many ways, and whether you think that’s good or bad depends on how you looked at “The Hawk.’’ But the many similarities are there. Logart, like the “Keed,” hails from Camaguey, Cuba. Just as with Gavi lan, Isaac was torn early between his desires to play base ball and box. And, it may be added, he fights in the Gavilan man ner. That, naturally, is a tipoff to the fact that Logart is no knockout artist. Possessing only a fair punch, he has climbed into the ninth ranking welterweight spot on his speed and flash. DOESN’T SEEM MUCH At first glance this doesn't seem like much of a bout with which to bring fisticuffing back to boxing’s big house. Turner, a ranking middleweight, has more experi ence and will have a weight edge. The Philadelphian at 25 has had 58 bouts and lost only nine. Logart has engag ed in 47 pro bouts but only 13 of them were in this coun try. Os those, he won 11. But you can’t knock the theory that currently the middleweight and welterweight divisions are the “live” ones and new talent must be developed constantly to keen them that way. y 1 Rocky Marciano has the heavyweight crown virtually on ice as he fights on a twice-a-year schedule. The com plainants aren’t necessarily valid candidates, either. Old Archie Moore is hoarding the light heavyweight crown, with only Floyd Patterson as a probable opponent after Arch dusts off Randy Turpin in London come January OTHERS REALLY JUMPING But the next two divisions are r'eally jumping. Bobo Olso nwill give Ray Robinson his middleweight comeback shot and standing in line for the winner are a long line of hopefuls. Carmen Basilio, the welterweight champien has a November 30 date at Boston with Tony Demarco and the winner is committed to Johnny Saxton. There are a number of others waiting around, too However, when you get a “hot” champ such as Olson has been it doesn’t take him long to march through the top candidates. So there always has to be somebody mov ing up from the kindergarten to keep the production line rolling. Otherwise, you’d soon have a situation such as exists among the hopeless heavyweights. Which may explain why Logart, the new Gavilan gets a shot out of nowhere. ATTENTION - ATTENTION Now open for your conven ience Hodges Upholstery Shop . . .
