Harry Markson, general manager of the Madison Square Garden Boxing club, announced Sunday that, al though Paret craves a shot at Gene Fullmer's portion of the middleweight crown, . he is willing to defend his own title against the Rodriguez-Griffith winner while waiting for Full mer negotiations to jell.

By NORMAN CORNISH Washington - (UPD - Former lightweight champion Ike Wil liams told Senate boxing in vestigators today that he re-ceived-and rejected-bribe of fers totaling $180,000 to lose three fights, including two championship bouts during his long career. In each case, Williams testi fied, the offers were relayed to him through Frank (Blinky) Palermo, Philadelphia under world figure and Williams' manager after 1947. Williams said that Palermo told him each time that he had been approached by somebody," Palermo advised against ac cepting the offers but said Williams should use his "own judgment." Williams said he was of fered $100,000 to lose the Kid Gavilan in 1948; $30,000 to lose a title bout with Freddy Dawson in 1949; and $50,000 to take a dive in the cham pionship bout with Jimmy Carter in 1951. Sorry He Refused During questioning on the $100,000 bribe offer, Williams said: "I'm sorry I didn't take it ... I lost the fight anyway." Williams said that he was having tax troubles at the time and could have used the money. Williams testified earlier that Palermo took the entire purses, totaling $64,900, from two title bouts. Williams said he didn't receive "five cents" from his bouts with Jessie Flores Sept, 23, 1948, in New York, and with Beau Jack July 12, 1948, in Philadelphia. Palermo has been identified by the Senate antitrust and monopoly sub committee as the acting under world kingpin of professional boxing while r a c k e t e e r Frankie Carbo is serving prison term for undercover fight managing. Paid Taxes Williams said that even though he didn't get any money from his two matches, he paid the taxes. Williams said the purse from the Flores fight was $32,500 and the purse from the Jack fight $32,400. Paler mo, as his manager, was sup posed to get only one-third of that, with Williams getting two-thirds, Williams said that when he asked Palermo for the money he was told both times there was none available because Palermo had encountered "tough times." Willams said he earned more than a million Jersey Conservation depart ment for about $186 a month. He is married with two chil dren and lives in Trenton, N.J. Williams turned up to tes tify as a previously unidenti fied mystery witness in the Senate probe.

Derby Favorites Lining Up during 154 professional fights, but now works for the New I By OSCAR FRALEY United Press International Miami, Fla. - (UPD - The ac tion has all the earmarks of a full-fledged cavalry charge to day as Florida horse racing prepares for a wide-open dash toward the Kentucky Derby. Victory in the early May run for the roses, which is everybody's horse race, al ready Is being claimed for a half dozen chargers stabled in the sunshine state and awaiting the major prep races just ahead. That's partially due to the fact that 13 of the last 23 Derby winners win tered in Florida against six propped in California. The early talk, as all the colts await their automatic third birthday on Jan. 1, is that a little colt called Carry Back or a king-sized one named Ways And Means will be the one to beat when they finally blow boots and saddles at Churchill Downs. Test Coming Up All of this could change rapidly in the major 3-year-old tests ahead such as the Everglades on Feb. 15, Hia leah's $100,000 Flamingo on Feb. 25 and such later events as the Florida Derby and the Wood Memorial. Actually it looks like a wide open year in which almost anything can happen or any thing can win. For this is a rather ordinary crop of im pending 3-year-olds aside from the two which were named. The big colt, Hail To Reason, voted the 2-year-old cham pion, broke a sesamoid bone and had to be retired. Jack Price, who trains Carry Back, asserts bitterly that his colt should have been awarded the 2-year-old crown. And don t knock It because the colt is small because so, too, were such as War Ad miral and Seabiscuit. "I think Carry Back was the best," Price grates. "He won from three furlongs to a mile and a sixteenth. Hail To Reason never raced farther than seven furlongs." Three Other Hopefuls dollars! Sunny Jim Fitzsimmons, the addition to Ways And Means, a colt which grew so fast at two that he was kept out of competition to let him get his size and strength. These arc The Monk, Royal Record and Hitting Away. But Ways And Means is go ing to win the Derby," says groom Wendell Griffin, while Mr. Fitz just smiles and makes no claims. "I rubbed Iron Liege for Calumet before he won the Derby and this colt is a better prospect off the way he has turned it on in his work outs." Vic Sovinski, the cocky ap pearing, one-time Chicago baker who saddled Venetian Way to win the Derby this year, is high on another un raced colt called Vital Star. He looks like his old man, a Derby darkhorse, who raced into the winner's circle, and don't tell me you've forgotten Dark Star. Sovinski has the colt's campaign completely mapped out right up to Derby day and the moment he ac cepts the trophy. Crozier "Great Prospect" "I have a great prospect in Crozier," owner Fred W. Hooper says of the Midwest champion. Also on hand are Harbor View Farm's Roving Minstrel and Garwol, Calumet's sore backed Beau Prince, an $80, 000 buy named Globemaster, Bill MacDonald's Covered Bridge, and such hopefuls as Bronzerullah, Ross Sea, Vapor Whirl, Intensive, Mt. Hope and Bluescope. Which is why Florida rac ing is looking forward to a free for all, witli some of the most exciting, wide open ac tion the Derby-bound 3-year-old division has ever seen. 86-year-old dean has three other of trainers. hopefuls in Give...
