Eddi is ranked fourth In the latest Ring Magazine listing while his opponent is rot cited. But Besmanoffs camp claims this is all wrong. "A win over Machen could mean a shot at the title." man ger Erdie Metric has said. And he claims that a groin in Jilil waukee "will beat any offer from anywhere for a world title bout between Johansson and Besman off. Machen has stopjed two out of five lesser-lights whom be has beaten so fa this year. He now has a record of one loss in 31 fights. Tonight's fight starts at 6 p.m. p.s.t.

Velella taies the "hot seat" again today at the New York state Athletic Commis sion's million-dollar hearing. Veklla is trying to survive the torrid grilling of Commission Counsel James P. Fusscas so tha: the license for his promoting or ganization Rosensohn Enterprises. Inc. will rot be revoked. The license was suspendel re cently, pending this hearing, be cause of alleged underworld in-filt-ation into the promotion of the June 28 Johansson-Patterson heav yweight title fight. Velella hopes to promote Inge mar Johansson's defense of the crown against ex-champion Floyd Patterson next year, which may produce gross receipts of between $3,000,000 and $5,000,000. But Sweden's Johansson, who wants to defend in New York, might break away from Velella's outfit, were it banned permanent ly from promoting in New York state. Fusscas is trying to prove that attorney Velella Harlem politi cian and new president of the Rosensohn organization is "front ing" for the missing Harlen mobster, Anthony ( Fat Tony ) Sa lerno. Velella admitted he had noticed mobster Salerno hovering about during at least five meetings con nected with the Johansson-Patterson promotion; but he did not question the "policy" king because ' he thought Salerno was present I Salerno, - V w . a r Tarnishes I a couple more fights to decide ized shaoe Johansson naa mm in that night in Yankee Stadium. Ingo Threw Best Punch "It's terribly difficult to ' rate Johansson as a champion, Ruby explained. "So he knocked Patter son out with seven knockdowns in the thiid round. But actually, it was the first real round of the fight. Those first two rounds were nothing as they felt each other out. Then, as Patterson onened his gloves from that peek-a-boo defense, Johansson clouted him ith the best punch of the fight. "It was.'', Goldstein added, "a terrific surprise. And Patterson never got over that first punch. Of the remaining six knockdowns, you might -say that two of them were good. The other four knock downs were the result of awk ward punches for Johansson threw a lot of awkward and sloppy punches in his eagerness." '' Dempsey, Louis or Marciano wouldn't have been "so eager," says Ruby, whose book, appro priately titled "The Third Man In The Ring," hits the bookstalls on Oct. 15. ' ' j Put-Away Shot Certain r "If they had Patterson in s'uch a shape," he insists, "they wtfuld have sent over ' the shot which put him away for keeps." ' Goldstein, who had "70-odd" fights himself in the pro ring, was the "third man" in the ring in title bouts involving Louis, Marciano. Jersey Joe Walcott and Ezzard Charles, as well as Pat terson and Johansson, and it is evident in talking to him that he considers Louis the greatest -of the lot. ':! "I refereed the Louis-Marciano bout," he recalls of the night that "the Rock" kayoed the once mighty Brown Bomber. "It was a sad thing. Sure. Louis always was bqthered by those low crouching opponents but he al ways took care of them, as he did against Arturo Godoy, Tommy Farr and Tony Galento. Marciano ould have given him trouble for a while, but in his prime' he eventually would have taken Rocky." "Get Ready For Winter Driving" ARE YOU ANEW CAR OWNER WITH 14" TIRES?
