NEW YORK April 22 (LP)—St
Nicholas Arena is a grubby little
boxing pit in uptown New York
but to Ted Murray it is a palace
Of opportunity
St Nick's as it is known to the
fight mob can handle only 5000
customers But with circus clowns
filling Madison Square Garden St
Nick's is the only available site
for fistic action made necessary
by television contracts
Murray doesn't mind He'd fight
Bobby Dykes his Friday night op-
ponent in a hatbox if they kept
that TV camera on him
"This is my big chance and
after all the tough luck I've had
I'm going to make the most of
It" commented the 26-yearold
club fighter 1
Murray a "swinger" of the old
school has had more than his

lo
share of bad breaks The death of
his father forced him to quit high
school to help support the family
and then came three years In the
Army Turning pro after only two
amateur fights "to make some
much-needed money" Murray
couldn't become a winner
A good puncher and a willing
mixer Ted labored in the ring
three years—and was going strict-
ly nowhere as he lost 14 bouts
The trouble was that he had a
broken nose and didn't know it
A Chicago doctor discovered the
trouble and Murray's woes piled
up as he had to Undergo an opera-
tion It meant a year's layoff from
the ring to assure proper healing
To tide him over Ted got a Job
as a store clerk
Murray started his fistic come-
back in 1950 and WaS labeled a
coiner as be won nine in a row
He dropped two decisions then but
since has won five more Now be
goes after Dykes wilh the hope
that the TV cameras will make

him a national attraction
For his aggressive style has
made the Richmond Va slugger
a tremendous favorite in the small
clubs He can hand it out and he
can take it as attested by the fact
that only twice has he been driven
off his feet Those two knockdowns
were suffered in a fight with one
Miguel Mendivil and Ted came
raging back to kayo his opponent
A victory over Dykes even
in the blood pit conf:nes of
St Nick's would be the malt-
ing of the "unknown" Murray
But he has cut out quite a
piece of work for himself
For Dykes is the elongated Tex-
an from Miami Fla who last
winter lost a split decision to Kid
Gavi Ian as he tried to lift the wel-
terweight title from the Cuban
(fiwk Dykes proved then that he
was a man with whom to reckon
in the 147-pound divisision and that
there wasn't anything tailor made
about his record of 73 wins in 85
bouts 40 by knockouts
"Winning over Dykes could do
me a lot of good" Murray grins
"I've always liked to fight and this
should be a dilly Maybe I'm not a
'name' fighter—but I plan to be
after this one"
So it's easy to understand why
dirty cramped St Nick's looks
mighty good to Murray '

Alva and Woods county anglers
are anxiously awaiting for swollen
streams to recede so they can ven-
ture forth and find whether or not
fish are meandering uri stream
With practically all the creeks and
rivers hankfull following the big
six-day deluge many are wonder-
ing whether the fish are on the
prowl looking for food and a place
to spawn
IIt is our guess that a consider-
able number will come up from
the GSP into the tributaries but
we think that most of the fish
stage their big run in May or ear
ly June when the water is warm-
er and food is more abundant
In those mouths the streams are
filled with lots more insects and
plant life s o u g n t by the fish
especially grain grasshoppers and
all kinds of bugs Right now the
principal food for catfish in the
river is likely rec' worms which
should be an ideal bait to use
Then too fishermen should find
a few holes In the Medicine and

At any rate let us hope these
games can be played on the Ranger
field this weekend and if they are
we believe there will be an un
usually helvy turnout for college
games The Rangers are getting
some fine pitching these days and
with a bunch of ball players who
can really peg that old ball around
the diamond they are catching the
fancy of the boys downtown for the
first time in years
There is lit tle doubt but what
Roy Dunn has net about the
toughest a n d b e st conditioned
wrestler of his career in the well
built wrestler from Hollywood bill
ed as Nature Boy Nature Boy is
the type of wrestler who will cics
anything to win and is about t
roughest man in the business
01
Dunn defeated him in Wichita
about ten days ago by taking the
first and last fall In the last
match Monday night at Wichita
the match between Dunn and Na-
ture Boy ended in a draw
-
With the match generating into
one of the wildest rounds ever seen
in Wichita Nature Boy looked to
be scoring heavily with his drop-
kicks when Dunn following a ser-
ies of attempts at almost every
thing in the book clamped a half
nels- 1 and inside crotch hold on
the Hollywood wrestler The time
was 36 minutes
In the second match 32 minutes
elapsed when Dunn weakened by t
the rough tactics of his adversary
especially his dropkicks fell vic-
tim to a combination aim and leg'
lock With sixty-eight minutes gone
time rain out as the grapplers
were trying for the third and de-
ciding fall
'This man is undoubtedly about
the best conditioned man I have
ever met in the ring and he is the
roughest They Just do not seem to
be able to make a ring durable
enough to contain us when the
going gets underway With a good
strong ring I believe I could do
bitter I am still confident I can
beat him despite his rough tac-
tics" Dunn said Tuesday morning
following the match
The time ran out when Dunn
was climbing back in the ring fol-
lowing a dr o pkick that knock-
ed him through the ropes Only
seven seconds of the twenty sec-
onds had elapsed when Dunn got
back but at that time the time
gong sounded ending the match
Nature Boy thinking he had won
threw one of the most delirious fits
of fiendish joy ever seen in a
Wichita r I ng but when referee
Buddy Seigel told him he hadn't
won but that the match was over
he went wild and attacked the of-
ficials and tried to annihilate anyiii
body that got in his way Again
the whole Wichita police force had
to clamp down on the infuriated
Nature Boy
