MEDrTOljSi$WI1UBm SIPODIKTS Patterson Keeps Respect For Johansson's Right; Ingo Strengthen Legs (Following is another in a series of special dispatches which champion Floyd Pat terson and challenger Inge mar Johansson are writing exclusively for United Press International clients prior to their heavyweight title fight at Miami Beach, March 13.) By FLOYD PATTERSON , n (Written For UPI) Miami Beach, Fla. tUPD -Ingemar Johansson is the greatest right hand puncher I ever have fought. And any body fighting him has to re spect that wallop or risk the consequences. I made such a mistake in our first fight, when he knocked me out in the third round. I profited by respect ing him in the second fight and knocked him out in the fifth round. GAME NOT PLAYED A Southern Oregon Inde pendent Basketball league game slated between Wooden Shoe and Grants Pass National Guard for last night was not played. The Grants Pass Guard sent word that it could not get gymnasium facilities for the game. A report from Southern Oregon college jun ior varsity indicated .that it missed a tussle with Medford Guard in the SOIBL on Tues day because the game did not show on the Schedule of games the jayvces have on file. The game is listed on the official league schedule. He had hit me flush in the second round of our last fight but, because I was on the ball, I was able to maneuver my way out of danger. Having gotten to him in the second fight doesn't mean I'll hold him cheap in the third. It's a new deal all around and he can be dangerous as he ever was. ' I know it better than any body else and I'll remember it. By INGEMAR JOHANSSON (Written For UPI) . Palm Beach, Fla. - (UPI) -When I run on the road each morning, I keep telling myself what Whltoy Bimstcin, my American trainer, always says: "The body gels the credit, the legs do the job." I realize that I am no better in a fight than my ability to move around. I couldn't get out of my own way, as you say in this country, in my second fight with Floyd Pat terson. I would have to think it was that my legs weren't in shape. Whatever has happened is over with and today I'm list ening to Bimstcin on road work. Five, six miles are ordinary for me. On March 13 at Miami Beach I will be ready to travel 15 rounds at top speed If necessary. This Isn't some thing I am hoping to do, this is something I know I can do. Yes, the legs do the work but In my case they will get the credit too. New Skippers Depart From Old Tactics Dark, Houk Show They Boss Clubs By FRED DOWN , United Press International Ralph Houk and Alvin Dark, a pair of "on the spot" first-year managers, are wast ing no time letting the New York Yankees and San Fran cisco Giants know that new bosses are calling the shots. The training season hasn't even officially started but both Houk and Dark already have introduced ideas that represent a complete depar ture from the tactics of Casey Stengel and Bill Rigney, their predecessors. Houk, faced with the prob lem of living up to Stengel's record of 10 American league championships in 12 years, is speeding up the conditioning of Yankee pitchers. He wants two or three of them to have pitched nine innings by open ing day - something Stengel never bothered about - and he has coach Johnny Sain al ready pressing his hurlers to work as often as possible off the mound. To Rest Willie Dark, who the Giants hope will make San Francisco fans forget the bitter disappoint ments of 1960, announced the new ideas when the Giants opened their Phoenix, Ariz., camp Wednesday. Ho plans to rest Willie Mays at intervals during the season and he is going to experiment with out fielder Felipe Alou as a third baseman. The Los Angeles Dodgers, who are never without a spring hero, came up with a 1961 edition in Dick Ncn, a 20-year-old rookie from Wil mington, Calif., who hit sev eral 450-foot drives during Wednesday's workout. Mana ger Walt Alston announced the Dodgers will play their first intrasquad game on Sun day. The Baltimore Orioles staged an intra-squad game at Miami, Fla., and found the offerings of "Iron Mike" very much to their liking as Milt Pappas and Dave Nicholson each hit two homers and Jerry Walker, Art Quirk and Billy Hoeft also connected for round-trippers. The other big news in the Orioles' camp was that third -baseman Brooks LA Angeles Open First Spring Training Friday Los Angeles -(UPD- The Los Angeles Angels, led by man ager Bill Rigney, pitch camp and .open their first spring training session Friday at Palm Springs. The Angels, one of the American league's two new clubs, go into camp with 34 men on their own roster, three free agents and three men signed to their Dallas-Fort Worth farm club roster. With the club having been stocked through a draft of players from the other Ameri can league teams, Rigney's squad was predominantly a veteran group. The average age of the men on the regular squad is 26.9 years with the 14 pitchers averaging 25.5 years, the catchers 29.5 years, the in fielders 27.9 and the out fielders 27.8. McCovey, Haller Belt Korsehide As Giants Open Phoenix, Ariz. - (UPD -The San Francisco Giants held their second workout of the campaign today as squad members continued to trickle in. Manager Alvin Dark held his first workout as a major league pilot Wednesday with only 16 Giants on hand. T1ic roll call has been cut by the airline strike, but al most all of the missing play ers have messaged that they are on their way. Stars of Wednesday's 90 minute session were big Wil lie McCovey and catcher Tom Haller. Both belted the ball over the fence with consist ency. The 205 - pound McCovey has reported to camp some 30 pounds lighter than he was last spring. Haller is a 210 pound left hander conceded a real chance of sticking with the Giants this year if he can overcome his problems hit ling a curve. With Tacoma last year, Haller hit .251, while banging 13 homers. Robinson checked in after being delayed several days by the airline strike. Youngest player on the team is infielder Jim Fregosi who is 18 while the oldest is catcher Del Rice, 38. The veteran of the pitching staff is Ned Garver who has spent 14 years in the Ameri can league. But Rigney also has three 19-year-olds, Bob Sprout, Fred Newman and Dean Chance, on his mound roster. At the outset of spring training, Rigney has an in field he ranks as being the equal of any in the league with Eddie Yost at third base, Ken Hamlin at shortstop, Ken Aspromonte at second and Ted Kluszcwski at first base. Bob Ccrv heads the outfield ers who include Jim McAn any, Albie Pearson, Faye Throneberry and Ken Hunt.
