The witness said he had been threatened with violence if he talked. The prisoner, Irving Mis hel, is serving a 10 to 20 year sentence at Clinton State Prison for grand lar ceny. He has been accused of being an "underworld banker" in fight fix at tempts which ex-middleweight champion Jake La Motta testified to Tuesday. By NORMAN G. CORNISH ' Washington-UPH-A witness being brought from a peniten tiary cell and an elusive Mi ami Beach gambler became key figures today in the Sen ate investigation of boxing which already has turned up a tale of top-level fakery and bribery from ex champion Jake LaMotta. The convict being brought from New York state's Clin ton Prison to the Senate hear ing witness chair was Irving Mishel, who is serving a 10 to 20 year term for grand larceny. Mishel has been accused of being an "underworld bank er" in fight fix attempts which ex-middleweight title holder LaMotta testified to in opening hearings Tuesday. The missing witness was identified as Joseph DiCarlo, who has been linked to a $100,000 bribe offer to La- - Hi L I to "K. I s TV ... , " 1' V r " t$ " ''.

Took Dive LaMotta, known in his hey day as "The Bronx Bull," told the Senate antitrust and mo nopoly subcommittee during nervous appearance Tues day that he had been offered but refused the $100,000 bribe to throw a June 6, 1947, fight to Tony Janiro. LaMotta won 10-round decision over the Youngstown, Ohio, fighter in Madison Square Garden. However, LaMotta testified he "took a dive" in a later fight the same year in a match with Billy Fox. The ex champion, who now lists him self as an actor, said he did in return for an under world promise he would get crack at the middleweight title. But LaMotta said he ended up paying $20,000 for the arrangement. Senate investigators said law enforcement authorities have been searching for Di Carlo for the past 10 days. They said he was believed to be hiding out somewhere in Florida.

PETERSEN UPI Sports Editor Denver IUPII The "quiet man" suddenly became the "one to watch" today on the eve of the U.S. Open golf championship. There's still plenty of sentiment for "old pros" Ben Hogan and Sam Snead but the new red-hot locker room tip is tht 36-year-old Art Wall Jr. from Pocono Manor. Pa., the leading money winner of 1959, has the shots and the persever ance to lop the field of 150 in the four-round grind. "I'm in fine shape physi cally." said Wall in a state ment that for him amounted to a boast. "As for my game, well. I'd have to say it's pretty good. In fact, everything seems "'to be working." WALL. CASPER GOOD PUTTERS Wall and defending cham ion Bill Casper are con ceded to be the best putters in the tournament and Wall is believed to have the un erring approach shots to master a course that the oldtimers are saying is the easiest on which a U.S. Open ever has been played. "Never mind what the yardage says," commented Hogan. "Any time you can use an iron on your second shot, you're playing an easy course." Wall, who was unable to defend his Masters cham pionship because he had undergone an operation for a kidney ailment, demon strated that he was back on his game last week with a 65-63-128 qualifying round at Oklahoma City. And he's been laying those second shots right onto the greens here with a precision that matches anything he showed in winning more than $63,000 in 33 tourna ments last year.

MORSE MOTORS 6th and Ivy Medford MEDrWlVvJWlIBUM jpU)iHnr Patterson's Inability To Avoid Rights Boosts Support for Johansson By JACK CUDDY Newtown, Conn.-IUPD- Floyd Patterson's apparent inability to avoid right-hand punches less than a week before his re turn heavyweight title fight with Ingemar Johansson cause these two developments today: -The betting odds favoring champion Ingemar to beat Patterson Monday night lengthened from 6-5 to 7-5. -A poll of 20 American and foreign sports writers, who were ready to make their picks, favored Swedish Inge mar, 18 to two. The poll was made right here in Floyd's camp.. Four of the voters were from Sweden and five from England. But Patterson, taking the day off, declared: "Neither the odds nor the poll mean anything to me this time. I'm not reading the papers this time." He explained he had eager ly read the sports sections be fore his first fight with Jo hansson last June 26 and had found himself a 5-1 betting favorite and an overwhelming choice in all polls. But under dog Johansson knocked him out in the third round and took his title. Defense Question Mark With only two more spar ring sessions remaining on 25- year-old Floyd's schedule -Thursday and Friday-his de fense was a big question mark although he was fast and ef fective on attack. The ex-champion was the first to admit his lack of alert ness against the right hands of sparmates John Henry and Julio Mederos in Tuesday's three-round session. "I showed nothin," he said. I didn't feel in the mood. It was a lazy day for me." Improving his defense has been the big job during Floyd's 38 days here. Trainer Dan Florio and advisor Joe Louis have changed his style from the feet-even and hands even peekaboo stance to the modified peekaboo, with the left foot and left glove slightly forward-to improve his balance. 22,500 Homes Bill Fight TV New York -flJPD- The closed circuit telecast of the Inge mar Johansson-Floyd Patter son heavyweight title bout next Monday will be beamed into 22,500 homes through 12 community antenna systems, it was announced today by the TclePrompter Corp.
