OREGON Machen's Problem Was 'Frustration' Not Lack Of Money Says Flaherty Portland IUPD- The mana ger of Eddie Machen said over the week end that the heavyweight fighter's break down was caused by "frustra tion and not lack of money." Sid Flaherty, recently re turned after going to the Napa State hospital in California to talk with doctors following Machen's commitment, said "Eddie was frustrated at nev er getting a title shot." The Portland boxer threatened su icide. "He's been a top heavy weight for a long time and has deserved to fight for the championship," he said. "It's not true that he did not have any money. He had signed a contract with me for a fight with Johnny Riggins in Billing9, Mont. I gave him $500 and told him I would give him another $1,500 in a couple of days for his ex penses. Eddie isn't destitute. He has some means."

He added "Machen could see the years slipping away after so many efforts. Sure, he was depressed and frus trated. Who wouldn't be?" Flaherty said he thought there was a chance that Ma chen might fight again. "The doctors told me boxing, as such, wasn't the reason for his breakdown. Remember, business people sometimes have these breakdowns and they don't quit."
