Pig 12D EUGENE REGISTER-GUARD. Thuri., Mr. 21, 1003 Knee Operation to Put Liston on Sidelines at Least Six Months MIAMI BEACH. Fla. ( A knee operation will put heavy weight champion Sonny Liston out of action for at least six months. He may not light again until next year. The return bout with Floyd Patterson, which has been hang ' ing by a thread for several - weeks, was postponed indefi nitely Wednesday night by the Miami Boxing Commission, after an official examination that re vealed damage to the cartilage in Liston's left knee. "It is our opinion that this knee should have the benefit of surgical procedure," said a re port by Dr. A. H. Weiland, widely known orthopedic sur geon who made the examina tion. It would take at least' six months for the knee to heal after such an operation. Dr. Weiland said. One of Liston's associates said the champion probably will not schedule a fight during the remainder of this year. When the rematch with Pat terson will be fought now is up to Liston. Where it will be is up to Patterson, who has the right in the return bout to name the site. Quietly, Patterson closed his Tropical Park .training camp Tuesday night and began an au tomobile trip to his home in moaned when he walked out of climbed on a plane and re turned to his Chicago home. Before reaching the doctor's office, he had been in good humor. In reply to a reporter's ques tion as to whether he was try ing to get out of fighting Pat terson again, he had laughed loudly and said: "I wouldn't be scared if there were lions, tigers and Patter son in the ring, and then I would be scared only for Floyd." . The promoting agency, Championship Sports, Inc., pre pared to start refunding to ticket buyers this morning some $74,000 now in the U1L General Manager Al Bojan said cancella tion of the April 10 fight would cost the promoters about $50, 000. A few buyers had wandered in to get refunds earlier this week, after Liston made his surprise departure for Chicago, saying he needed a. rest at home. The boxing commission or dered him to come back for an examination Friday but he boarded a plane Wednesday morning within hours after learning that he would have to return. At the Miami Airport on arrival, he said he was here to "settle this thing. They're be ginning to hurt my feelings now." The return match with Patter son baa been embroiled. in con troversy ever since it was an nounced that it would be held in Miami Beach. It was origin ally scheduled for April 4, then postponed until April 10 be cause of Liston's knee. Bolan has accused Nilon of deliberately stalling the fight because of his hatred for Cham pionship Sports. Nilon denied it, saying he was interested only in getting it over, freeing Liston from the restrictions of the return bout contract, and putting him in the driver's seat to call the shots as champion.

His knee, originally injured when he swung a golf club, ap parently was recovering when he hurt it again March 13. "You know how you set the knee when you're fixing to throw a left hook," Liston ex plained to the doctor. "I slammed a hook into the heavy bag and my knee popped out of joint." . Less than two hours after the examination, a glum Liston I New York. His advisor, Julius November, said it would be a leisurely trip and Patterson would stop in several cities to visit friends, reaching New York Monday. November said Patterson had given no thought to a future site for the rematch, nor to whether he would take on an other opponent while Liston is recuperating.
