Grossingers, Catskill Mountains. Randolph Turpin, who moves moodily towards regaining his World Middle- weight Championship when he fights Bobo Olson in New York on October 21 has already collected one title--the most disliked British sportsman in America.

Turpin continues to avoid visitors and newspapermen who make the 250 miles round trip up through the so lovely mountainn valleys.
