NEW YORK <m — Sandy Saddler, the world’s foremos
fistic globe trotter, has an Important embroglio in the Sai
Francisco Cow Palace next Wednesday and it promises t
be a rough night for one Gabriel "Flash” Elorde.
Gabriel is the 22 - year - old Filipino who outpoints
Saddler in an overweight match in Manila last summer
His reward, or, possibly, retribution, is a shot at Saddler’;
featherweight crown.
For Saddler is noted as a determined pugilist who win;
the big ones and, before the night ends, the odds indicate
that Gabriel won’t be hearing horns, or anything else
Hie 22-year-old Elorde, who stands five feet, six inch
a flrtA hnvor Dnt Ha tc ctrintlu “arnnH fiolH nr
fes.
„„ with only 11 knockouts in 38 winninp bouts. Tw<
others were draws and he wets flattened once.
SANDY TOO TOUGH
He will discover swiftly, however, why Saddler is sucl
a globe trotter. The answer is that Sandy is too tough and
can’t get opponents at home.
Saddler, at five feet, nine inches, is too tall and ha*
too much reach for featherweight opponents who usuall)
stretch to reach five feet, six inches. At 29, he still is re
markably rapid and he punches like a middleweight.
Proof of that is his record of 99 knockouts in 142 win
ning bouts, a horizontal percentage of better than 60 pei
cent. He also has lost 14 and fought two draws.
This is one of the fanciest knockout records in the
ring today and demonstrates clearly why opponents are
so elusive.
It also explains why Sandy does more traveling than
the neighborhood lawn mower.
That has been plenty, too. In scraping up enough
willing rivals, Saddler has fought in 17 states and 13 coun
tries.
A REAL TRAVELER
Sandy has slapped ’em down in Massachusetts. Con
necticut, Rhode Island, New York, New Jersey, Pennsyl
vania, Maryland, Louisiana, District of Columbia Michi
gan, Minnesota, Ohio, Illinois, Wisconsin, Missouri, Cali
fornia and Washington.
He also has shouldered his steamer trunk and display
ed his punches prowess in England, France, Hawaii, The
Philippines, Venezuela, Argentina, Chile, The Dutch West
Indies, Panama, Cuba, Mexico and Canada.
Against Ekictre he aims to prove once again that trav
el is flattening as well as broadening. His tiny southpaw
rival was bom on the island of Cebu, 250 miles south Ql
.to where he migrated after Starting as an ansa
*7 f «-iTrr--—---J
teur at 15. In he married the daughter of Lope
Carmel, the local fight promoter, and for one reason or
another he soon had top billing.
But Sandy, remembering that Manila loss, has a
prophetic gleam in his eye. The title is his passport and
there are a few spots he hasn't seen. So Elorde figures as
the first punch on the new ticket
