A “Boxer” By MURRAY ROSE NEW YORK wW—Any attempts to depict Rocky Castellani as a “new Castellani—a slashing, at- tacking fighter” leaves Rocky cold. “T’m still the old Castellani and what's wrong with that,” said the No. 1 middleweight contender from Cleveland, who meets hard-punch- ing Ernie Durando for the third time at Madison Square Garden Friday night.

And if anyone doubts my guts remember I’m an ex-Marine. _“I beat Durando easy the first time even if he dropped me. I was winning in the second fight too when he nailed me with that right in the seventh. Sure, that punch hurt and I was wobbly but Referee Ray Miller shouldn't have stopped it. I pleaded with him not to. I was okay.” —_—___ Bob Boyd played 29 games at first base for the White Sox in 1953 without committing an error.
