Na tional League attorney, and Lou Niss, public relations director of the club. Grant is a Wall Street stock broker, who is known to be in terested in keeping his post with the club only until a top-flight baseball executive could be found. He, too, refused to admit that Weiss would get the post. Weiss still is under contract to the Yanks. He is receiving half the salary he was paid when he was active, about $35,000. The contract also specifies that he may not become general manager of another team. It does not pro hibit him from becoming president of another club. 'Stilt' Breaks 10 Hoop Records!

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS 'Heavyweight champion Floyd 1 1 Patterson's sixth round knockout oi gumming inKcmiir junauitsun has ended their thrilling, three fight international series. But what's ahead for the cham pion, happy in victory but disap pointed over his performance, probably won't be known for a while. It's doubtful that Sonny Liston, the No. 1 contender from Phila delphia will get the lucrative shot although he said again he'd glad ly "fight Patterson for nothing just to get a shot at the title." More likely is Henry Cooper, the Cleveland Eyes Bonus Pitcher TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) Cleve land's Indians expect great things from lanky Sam McDowell, the left-handed hurler they signed last summer when he finished high school. The club shelled out an estimat ed $75,000 in bonus money to sign the Pittsburgh vounaster who. coaches agree, has shown tremen-j aous improvement. Possessor of a whipping fast ball, the 18-year-old has the same problem faced by many rookie hurlers control. After joining Lakeland of the Florida State League last summer, he compiled a 5-6 record but struck out 100 batters in 105 in nings while issuing 80 walks. Then he played in the Florida winter league, where he proved more impressive. British champion, it was learned, although Patterson didn't bring up his name in his post-fight inter view. A left hook to the jaw, a right to the jaw and a chopping right behind the Swede's left ear ended Johansson's bold bid to regain the crown at 2:45 of the sixth round of the scheduled 15-roundcr in Con vention Hall. Near Upset But the 20liVa pound Viking, shrugged off again as a 4-1 un derdog, almost pulled off another startling upset in the first round when he iloored the slow-starting champ twice with thumping jolts to the jaw with his trusty right. Ingo, himself went down from a left hook to the jaw in the pul sating first round that had the 15,000 fans roaring. Ingo came to fight, and no ques tion about that. He was in there all the way and was going after the 1944 pound champion when Floyd struck with his flashing com bination left and right in the sixth round. The husky Swede rose up on one knee at nine but then fell back as his legs twisted. He tripped and fell back at the final count of ten. "I thought I was up In time, and I'm sorry I wasn't," said Jo hansson. "When he (Referee Bil ly Regan) say eight, I get a lit tle too anxious and I fell." Regan said "I had just finished the count of a full ten when he tried to get up. He didn't make the full count." "When I took him to the corner, he didn't know where he was at. He was blearv-eved and couldn't 'have continued." He said he would like to fight Patterson a fourth time, but the New Yorker, 26, said that's out and other contenders will get the chance. The beginning was almost like the first fight in which logo, a 51 underdog, dropped Floyd seven times in the third round and won on a technical knockout. Patter son became the first ex-heavy champ to regain the crown when he flattened the Swede with a left hook to the jaw in the fifth round last June. Most observers believed the memory of that fearful blow would blunt Johansson's desire Monday night. Floors Floyd But Ingo, going for broke in the first round, stunned and floor ed Floyd with his dynamic right early in the round. lie was up at four but was given the mandatory eight count, which proved to be a major factor in his recovery. Johansson stormed after the stricken champ and felled him again with a right uppercut to the chin. Patterson col m at three And again he was given five prec ious, extra seconds to recuperate. Only a few seconds later Pat terson took over the offensive and dropped the amazed challenger with a flashing left hook to the jaw. Johansson, however, jumped up at two, and he too benefited from the mandatory eight-count. Patterson began to pick up steam in the next round. But in the third his legs buckled from a right and he was shaken early in the sixth before he belted Ingo out. Johansson's left jab. often a flick and a wave and sometimes stiff, kept Patterson back at times and was vital in opening the way for Ingo's attacks. Johansson also sur prised the champ by throwing a left and right in combination, something he rarely did before against Patterson. Cut Eye Johansson was gashed over the right eye in the third round and his left eye was half closed. Pat terson was cut over his left eye in the third and cut in the mouth. The estimated crowd of 15.000 paid a little over $500,000 accord ing to the promoting Feature Sports Inc. The closed circuit firm, which handled the theater televi sion, radio and movies estimated its total gross at more than $3 million. This figures to earn each fighter somewhere between $750,000 and $1 million. The three-fight series earned Patterson more than $2 million and Johansson close to $2 million. The major part of Ingo's purse however, has been tied up pending settlement of the United States gov ernment's claim for $598,181 in back income taxes Patterson, battered and dead tired, said "Ingemar surprised me by coming out fighting. He took a lot of zip out of me in the first round. The first time he knocked me down he hit me as hard as he did in the first fight. The eight' count helped me. Those extra sec onds enabled me to clear my head. Also the fact that I came in heav ier (he and Johansson weighed the heaviest of their careers) help ed me. If I were lighter, I might not have gotten up." "It was good for him that he had an eight-count," said Johans son. "I had lo wait." The Swede said he had no com plaints about anything and wanted to continue fighting. He said he would like to fight Patterson or some "top men," including Liston. Patterson was expected to out line ms luture plans at a press conference this afternoon.
