Predicted
By Liston
Philadelphia OIPII Charles
(Sonny) Liston, predicting a
knockout in eight rounds, pre
pared to leave by plane today
for Chicago to begin training
for his Sept. 25 title bout
with heavyweight champion
Floyd Patterson.
"I figure that it will take
me two rounds to figure out
his style and then I'll go to
work and try to end it before
the eighth round" Liston said.
The bulky boxer said that
"if Mr. Patterson uses a bi
cycle, I'll just keep waiting
and catch up to him and
make him fight." He admitted
that the match "might be a
tough fight, if, by chance, he
(Patterson) gets up when I
hit him with the big right
hand."
3-2 Favorite
Before boarding the plane,
Liston said he weighed 222
pounds and will be down to
212 for the opening bell.
Big Sonny, already estab
lished as a 3-2 favorite, will
use the defunct Aurora
Downs race track, 45 miles
West of Chicago, as his train
ing camp, Patterson had been
dickering for the site but
Sonny beat him to it, appar
ently with a better offer.
Asked to explain why he
was made the favorite al
though only the challenger,
Liston shrugged off the
question.
"All I want is the title and
the 12'4 per cent of the gate,"
Liston said.

They did it!
After 36 scoreless innings,

right reckless and tacked on
four more in the ninth and
defeated San Diego. 5-3.
In other games. Hawaii nip
ped Seattle 4-3, Spokane beat
Salt Lake Cily 5-3 and Van

gllow two runs to cross and
sacrifice fly sent in the
fourth run of the frame.

the seventh to put the Island
ers ahead 3-2.
The Islanders added their
eventual winning run in the
eighth as Herb Plews tripled

homer in the third inning
helped Spokane to a 4-0 lead
over Salt Lake and Bert Cueto
went on to win it although
Ron Hubbard had to put down
'a Salt Lake rally with the
bases loaded and one out in
the ninth.

easy grounder to second sack
er Charlie Shoemaker with
two out and men on first and
second.
Shoemaker hobbled the ball
; which rolled into right field
and Joe Christian crossed

By HAL WOOD
San Francisco -IUPII- "I did
n't think I'd make it," said
Amos Alonzo Stagg, "but 1
did. I'm 100 years old today.
Some way or other, it's hard
to believe."
The "grand old man" of
American sports reached the
century mark and a nation of
sports fans paused to celebrate
his birthday.
From coast to coast they
toasted the world - renowned
coach, sage, wit, rules-maker,
sports inventor, and deeply
religious builder of men.
President John F. Kennedy
sent a telegram Wednesday to
congratulate Stagg, calling
him "a persuasive and shining
example" as a teacher, coach
and citizen.
Time Running Out
A year ago, Stagg kidded:
"Time is running out for
me. I don't know if I'll make
it to the century mark. But it
would be nice. Not many peo
ple do."
He made it, and from
Springfield, Mass., where J.
Lyman Bingham, executive
director of the U.S. Olympic
Committee is the speaker; to
San Francisco, where coach
Jack Curtice of Stanford head
lines the cast, the eulogy of
Mr. Stagg will be under way
today at luncheons and ban
quets. In West Orange. N.J.,
Stagg's birthplace, there has
been a week-long celebration.
Other cities also are feting the
man who has done more for
the game of football than any
person in history.
Stagg is confined to a con-'
valescent home in Stockton
and it is considered doubtful
that he'll be able to attend the j
Dartv in his honor at Stock-1
ton. But there will be thou
sands of anecdotes told during
the parties across the land.
