There was a chance the sub committee would decide to blow the whistle on the drive to give anti trust immunity to team sports. Kefauver said bluntly, "I am not satisfied with the house-passed bill." Disastisfied ' The dissatisfaction of other members of the subcommittee is well known. Sen. Joseph C. O'Mahoney (D-Wyo.) has call ed it a "blank check ... an owner's bill," and Sen. John A. L-arrou (iuoio.; nas criti cized some of its features. But the major threat to the bill, and its exemption for many phases of team sports from the anti-trust laws, was the clock the congressional adjournment pitch which was beginning to run to fever.

Proper Offer Would Attract Leo Durocher By JIM BUCKNER Los Angeles (UPD Dodger owner Walter O'Malley and former Giant manager Leo Durocher took stock separate ly of the Los Angeles baseball dilemma, and agreed the loss of catcher Roy Campa. nella was the No. 1 reason for the club's poor showing. But neither O'Malley nor Durocher had anything to say about the possibility of Leo replacing Walt Alston as man ager of the Dodgers, this sea son or next. In fact, O'Malley again praised the soft-spoken Alston as one of "the soundest man agers in baseball." He also de clared that "if the blame for this losing streak belongs any. where, it's in the front office." He said the club had deliber ately stayed away from the major league trading market while the West Coast shift was in progress. Durocher, in. a separate in terview, let it be known that he "might be interested" in returning to baseball as a manager, if an acceptable of fer were made offering him primarily stock rather than salary. "It would be foolish of me to say no," responded Du rocher, who piloted the Dodg ers to a 1941 pennant before moving to the Giants, when asked if he was interested in geting back into baseball as a field manager.

"Patients are supposed to be quiet and not become ex Roy Harris Finds Getting Ready for Patterson Easy Compared to (This Is the last of three dispatches in which Roy Harris, contender for the heavyweight boxing cham pionship, tells his own story.) By ROY HARRIS (Written Expressly for United Press International) Cut 'N Shoot, Tex. IPD Around Cut 'N Shoot, folks have always said I was the "quiet one" of the Harris fam ily. My dad, Big Henry, and my uncles and my older broth er, Tobe, had a big reputa tion for being - rough and ready guys. I suppose it was a good thing I ..was pretty handy with my fists, too, or I might have had to put up with a lot of torment about doing well in school. People must really have been surprised when Roy Harris decided to go to col lege. I went to Sam Houston State at Huntsville, about 40 miles away. When I finished, I came back to Cut 'N Shoot and got 'a job teaching in the grade school. I taught the usual fourth and fifth grade subjects reading, writing, arithmetic, spelling, language and geogra phy. I wouldn't say you had to be a heavyweight boxer to make these Cut 'N Shoot kids toe the line, but it helped. A couple of other things besides college have helped shape my life. For one, I am married to a Cut 'N Shoot girl, Jean Groce, and we live in a little white modern cot tage just down the road from my folks. Jean's a Seventh Day Adventist, and I go to church with her and teach a class in the Bible school. Commissioned Officer Also, at college I was in the ROTC and was commis sioned a lieutenant in the field artillery. I've been on active duty at Camp Polk, La., and Fort Sill, Okla. But whatever else, happen ed to me, I've always wanted to be a fighter. They've got 83 amateur bouts in the rec ord books for me, and I was a state Golden Gloves cham pion four times. I don't know how many other bootleg fights I had, and Tobe fig ures he and I must have fought 10,000 rounds in our homemade ring. Even when I was in high school, I used to jog to" and from home, about three miles each way, while the other kids rode the bus. When I went to college, I'd do road- work in the morning; drive the 40 miles to Huntsville, then drive back and work out in the afternoon. Sometimes, I'd go to Houston, about 70 miles from Huntsville, to find sparring partners. 22 Straight Victories I must have averaged 150 miles of driving a day in ad dition to classes, studying and workouts. So now just getting ready for my big fight with Floyd Patterson seems easy by comparison. I turned pro in 1955 and went through 22 fights with out getting beat. All of them were in Texas, and Willie Pas trano and I set a record for the state when we drew near ly 10,000 people at Houston. The only time I was knocked down in a pro fight was against Bob Baker. May be I was a little too respect ful of him at the start because he had been in the top ten rankings and outweighed me by 28 pounds. Anyway, he caught me on the chin in the fourth round, and down I went. Lots of folks said I went down so hard they didn't even think I'd twitch, let alone get up. You never see the punch that knocks you down, they say. But my head cleared right away, and while I was The "horns" of the huge South American horned frog are actually the upper eyelids.

VALLEY VIEW SPEEDWAY On Mile North of Ashland on Highway 99 CUP THIS COUPON a (5)0 and THIS COUPONS V Admits One Adult " College Days waiting for the" count I tried to figure what it was. I de cided it must have been a right, and I knew if that was his best shot I wouldn't have to respect him so much any more. I got up and won the fight on points. Met Tough Foes Altogether, I've met some pretty tough fellows, tougher maybe than Floyd Patterson has fought, if you look at his record. I've read where I'm an "awkward" fighter. Well, I got my early training from my dad and from Glen Buf falo, the football coach in junior high school. They taught me what I guess you'd call country-style fighting. Since Lou Viscusi became my .manager, I've been trained by Bill Gore, a smart old veteran, and I might have a lot of surprises for Floyd when we get to gether Aug. 18 in Los An geles. ' m Folks ask me what I'd Ifke to do if I win the champion ship. To tell the' truth, I haven't rightly thought mUch about it. I know it would mean money and opportun ities, and it is something Jean and I will have to work out. But here in the Big Thicket, we learn only to take one thing at a time. Right now, all my concentration is on winning that title. After I do, there'll be time enough to de cide what to do with it. Patterson Eager for Harris Bout World's heavyweight champion Floyd Patterson is looking for ward to his title defense against fabulous Roy Harris from Cut 'N' Shoot, Tex., as a favorable turning point in his ring career. In the following dispatch, the champion explains why. By FLOYD PATTERSON Heavyweight Boxing Champion Los Angeles (UPD I don't think I've ever been as eager for a fight as I am for the one coming up with Roy Harris. When I defend my title against Harris on Aug. 18 at Wrigley Field, It will be just four days short of a year since my last fight with Pete Rade macher. I've been in training most of the time since then, and it is going to feel just fine to be throwing punches for real against an opponent who should be the toughest I've met so far. More important, I've , got some things to prove. I'm fed up with all the criticism of myself and my manager, Cus d'Amato, because I don't fight as often as some people think I should. Cus and I have been a team for a long time ever since I first started working out in his gym in New York when I was 14. He helped me win an Olympic championship and the world heavyweight title. And folks overlook the fact that he's made a lot of money for me about all I could keep anyway after taxes. Young Yet After all, I fought twice last year, and I hope to fight twice this year. That's all Rocky Marciano did, and it is oftener . than a lot of past champions defended their titles. In fact, do you realize JackTDempsey only defended his title six times in more than seven years he was champion? I realize that I need fights and more fights to prove that I'm a real chamipon. But as Cus keeps telling me, I'm young yet only 23. And I can't agree with those who make light of the challengers I've met so far. But right now, my big con cern is Harris. I haven't been idle, although I haven't been fighting for the record these past 12 months. I think I'm an improved fighter, and I think a strong, clever opponent like Harris is just what I need to prove it.
