Those who have gone through it say they will never forget Randy ‘Turpin as long as they live. The strange character who fights Bobo Olson for the world middleweieht title Wednesday night at the Gar- den has distributed scars waich will endure—and none of them on his sparring partners By great good. luck, it seems, most of our sports writers were busy with such things as the World Series and the opening of the foot- ball season, and so were largely spared. The principal sufferers were a group of British experts who were here on orders from their respective papers, and Col. ‘Bob Brumby, a gentleman from (Georgia who was being highly paid iby the promoting IBC to drum up interest in the impending brawl. About the first thing Turpin did was let Brumby know that he wanted no part of him. The sec- ond was to do everything but sic dogs on his journalistic country- men, The moody mauler wanted to be left severely alone. The result has been an ‘unparalleled blasting in the British press and a detect- W.L-TP.OP able coldness in Brumby’s dis-| yy, “The man was rude to me,” distinguished tub-thumper says now, “‘and I didn’t like it.
