Unpopular champ Clay gets
boos from 2,200 ring fans
NEW YORK (UPI) -Cassius
Gay, fast becoming the world's
most unpopular heavyweight
boxing champion, was booed by
2,200 fight fans last night at
Madison Square Garden.
Cassius, or "Muhammed AU"
as he now calls himself, was
booed thunderously when he
and his entourage walked into
the Garden, The champ later
refused to be introduced from
the ring as "Cassius Clay."
It was the second time in 24
hours that the loquacious pugi
list was TKO'd. Earlier in the
day the Army announced it had
officially rejected the 22-year-old
heavyweight "king" for mil
itary service.
It seems the fastest lip in the
ring had flunked the GI mental
aptitude test twice.
Of course, poor Cassius got
off to an unheroic beginning as
champion when he won the
title at Miami Beach last Feb.
25 with ancient Sonny Listen
still sitting apparently un
harmed on his ring stool as the
bell sounded the beginning of
the seventh round.
Cassius went to the Garden
where his friend, former wel
terweight champion Luis Rod
riguez of Miami Beach, out
pointed Holley Mims of Wash
ington, D.C. Cassius and Rod
riguez are groomed by the
same trainer, Angelo Dundee
of Miami Beach.
The booers tuned up when
Cassius and party entered and
occuoied seats about 20 rows
from the ringside. Apparently
they were saving tneir voices
for the grand moment when the
world heavyweight champion
would be introduced from the
rine to the Garden fans and
the millions watching on home
television.
But that climactic moment
never came. Promoter Harry
Markson refused to permit the

miles each. The marathon and
a variety of other races runs
all day today and tomorrow.
The starting line for all the
races is 16 miles from Bend at
a point a quarter of a mile
west of the Spring River resort.
The Wiy Is Marked
Local enthusiasts and curious
onlookers may reach the racing
course by driving 12 miles south
on Highway 97, and turning
west on the Spring River resort
company In the country.
Chandler will be assigned to
care for the extensive fish pass
age facilities at Round Butte
dam now nearing completion on
the Deschutes river in Central
Oregon.
In addition to Chandler, PGE
has a staff of three trained bio
logists including head man
George J. Elcher. They main
tain a $10 million complex of
fish passage systems on the
Deschutes and Clackamas riv
ers. The Round Butte system, be
ing constructed at a cost of $1.5
million, will feature new con
cepts in both upstream and
downstream migrant facilities.
Through a unique design by
Eicher, upstream voyagers will
be carried by an aerial "trolley
tank" over the dam into the
reservoir. Downstream migrat
ing fingerlings will follow an
artificial outlet into a water
filled hopper which will be
emptied gradually down a pipe
line into the water below.
All four of PGE's biologists
have received undergraduate or
graduate training at O r e g o n
State University In the school of
fish and game management.
Chandler worked part - time
for PGE's fisheries department
in 1961 and 1962 while finishing
his studies at OSU. He was em
ployed by the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service in 1958. Prior
to that he served with the U.S.
Navy,

er "Muhammed AU."
Markson explained at the
time, "I cannot permit Clay's
introduction under any name
other than the one that's on his
license at the State Athletic
Commission office Cassius
Clay. The commissioner would
hold me responsible if I al
lowed it."
In the Garden, Cassius in
sisted: "I'll be introduced as
Muhammed All or there'll
be no introduction."
A friend of Markson's re
marked later: "I'm certainly
glad Harry used good judg
ment about that Muhammed
AU introduction. He probably
prevented a riot."
Muhammed AU is Clay's sec
ond "Islamic" name since he
admitted belonging to the Black
Muslims two days after winning
Listen's crown. At that time, he
announced: "From now on I'U
be known as 'Cassius X.'"
At that time Cassius had
great admiration for a radical
MusUm leader, Malcom X, who
since then has spUt off from
the main Muslim organization
and formed a splinter group of
his own.
When Cassius was asked last
night if the army had notified
him of his rejection, he said,
"They notified my father and
mother in Louisville, and my
mother phoned me here in New
York."
The army's announcement
that it's new system of de
tecting when a man is "malin
gering" on an aptitude exami
nation definitely showed that
Clay had done the best he
could, the army announced.
Concerning his future ring

right and if I get paid enough
money."
from the Pirate glory days of
1960, when they won the Nation
al League pennant and went on
to take the World Series from
the New York Yankees.
The Pirate fortunes ebbed
after that, so finally after the
1962 season, when Pittsburgh
finished fourth, they made
their big move. It turned out
to be disastrous.
The Pirates disposed of three
fourths of their 1960 champion
ship infield. Donn Clendenon at
first base was a disappoint

art, who went to the Boston
Red Sox and wound up win
