WEATHERLEY'S CREW 'SPLICE THE MAIN BRACE' TO CELEBRATE VICTORY OVER AUSSIES A @ By Geo. H. Campbell a SPORTS EDITOR "Lverything From Soup To Nuts' ok ie fe 54 HEAVYWEIGHT HISTORY reveals that only twice before have there been quicker endings to a title bout, than the Biff ! Bing! Bang! affair of last night. Joe Louis put Max Schmel- ing away in two minutes and four seconds, just two seconds faster and back in 1908, Canada's own Tommy Burns put somebody out in 1.28. But at today's prices, never was so much paid by' so many, for so little. Some fans, we read, are squawking because they paid big prices and feel they were gypped. Any fight fan should know that it can be all over in the first round, anytime. There'll be reports of the guy who stopped for a packet of cigarettes and missed the entire bout, the gent that got up to let a lady in mink pass by, he missed it too, so did a chap who was cleaning his glasses, dozens of those in the back row were adjusting their binocu- lars, We even heard of two fellows who were in a theatre to watch the closed TV circuit, who missed it. One reached down to loosen his shoe laces and the other guy was blowing his nose. Now that it's over, it remains for the public to give Liston his chance for a character comeback. He has earned the opportunity and is quoted as saying he intends to be "a good champion". There'll be a re-match, of course, another good pay-day, even for Patterson, who will get the short end, next time.

No date was set for the series. Th gallant Australian bid for the 11l-year-old America's Cup ended off Newport Tuesday when the American defender Weatherly defeated the Aussie |sloop Gretel by a half-mile mar- gin. | The victory gave the Amer. jicans the Cup series, four races ito one.

Weatherly skipper Bus Mos- bacher Jr., rated the best man in the world at handling a skit- tish 12-metre sailing ship into the wind, jumped off to a lead within minutes after the start. Except for one stirring Aussie rally on the third leg, which "SPORTS MENU -e America's Cup America ing racing water, Weatherly added steadily to the lead, which mounted to three minutes and 40 seconds at the end. As the two crews slumped to the deck at the finish, fire boats shot streams of water into the air, and skyrockets and roman candles pierced the gloom. CHAMPAGNE FLOWED Weatherly broke out cham- pagne that had been hidden be- low deck. It was well shaken up by the choppy sea, whipped up by :almost perfect racing winds ranging from 10 to 16 knots, with gusts in the 20s, The crews shared genuine re- spect, and the Aussies had be. come so popular in this historic city that Americans in the spec- tator fleet and on shore felt a tug at their patriotism as the challenge unfolded. "The Americans were 00 damn good," said Sir Frank Packer, head of the Australian syndicate that mounted the challenge, "but I suppose the sun will come up tomorrow just the same." "The best side won the se- ries," said Jock Sturrock, skip- per. of Gretel, who stunned yachtsmen here by winning the second race of the series, and staging the closest pursuit in cupshistory in the fourth.

These included Rev. A, J. Stephens, the Missouri peniten- tiary chaplain who first launched Liston to a dedicated boxing career; Rev. Edward P. Murphy, S: J., a Denver priest; and Rev. John McGinn, Yuma, Colo., who with Father Murphy counseled Liston towards the good life in recent years.

However, Liston said "I hit him an earlier right uppercut which left his foot off the floor. But, in the end, it was a left: hook that started him going and a left hook that finished him. "IT knew I had him when he failed to clinch after a good left hook to the head. He had been clinching before and this time, when the referee said to break, he didn't."
