Sugar Eager Over Offer NEW YORK-' (UPD Sugar Ray Robinson, who believes that "you don't laugh at a million dollars," wants to hear more about an offer for that much money to fight heavyweight charrfpion Floyd Pat terson in a title bout at the Los Angeles Coliseum this fall. The offer, plus a similar million dollar bid to Patterson, was made Friday by Cy Weintraub, head of Sol Lesser motion picture produc tions in Hollywood. A spokesman for Weintraub aid in Hollywood, "we feel that a fight between Robinson and Pat terson would draw the biggest gate in Los Angeles history and would probably be one of the most dramatic fights ever." Robinson said Weintraub origin ally was hopeful of promoting a light - heavyweight championship bout between Robinson and Arch ie Moore. But Robinson, ruler of the middleweight division, said he wasn't "Interested." "But this offer for a Patterson fight i am thinking about a lot," (aid sugar Ray. After all you dont laugh at a million dollars. Robinson's attorney, Martin Ma chat, plans to leave for the West Coast on Sunday to discuss the of fer because "you don't say no to a million dollars without first talk ing to the man." Custer (Cus) D'Amato, manager of Patterson, was not immediately available for comment. D'Amato has stubbornly refused to match his champion .against fighters he considers to be dominated by the International Boxing Club. Robinson, though noted for his sharp, hard-driven contracts with the I. B.C., has often fought under the promotion of the club.

The Softball clinic which started last Wednesday at Conger Field and was originally scheduled to run through Friday has been con tinued through Monday and Tues day of this week because of the wet condition of the field during the opening days. It is imperative that all boys who wish to play Softball in a league this season and are not as yet on a team attend Monday's session of the clinic, Kemnitzer warned. Three full teams have been put together since the clinic started however, there is a desperate need for coaches and sponsors to nan die the remaining large number of boys who are still seeking a place. Working with Kemnitzer in the clinic is Dean White, Klamath Un ion baseball coach and a number of older boys who are playing eith er on Babe Ruth or Legion teams. Primary function of the clinic has been to stress the fundamentals of the sport and to provide teams for the youngsters. Scheduled starting time for both Monday and Tuesday's clinic ses sions is 1:30 p.m. sharp. Joe Carr Wins British Open , ST.

Seattle Rainier s Finally Halt Phoenix Win Streak By GENE BRYANT United Press International Seattle's Rainiers finally did it Friday night using the Phoenix' Giants' patented late-inning rush to score a 6-5 victory over the Arizonans and halt their winning string at six straight.

A pinch-hit home run by the Giants' Bill Wilson had tied the score at 4-4 in the ninth and Leon Wagner's solo fourbag gcr in the 10th had put the league leaders ahead, where they had finished the three previous nights, before Shartzer's game-deciding blow.

The winners pushed across two runs in the final inning for the victory after the Solons had gone ahead with one run of their own in the ninth. In the only other game played.

The defeat left the second place Giants eight percentage points be ll nd leaeue - leading Milwaukee, which took a 4-3 defeat from Los Aneeles. Willie Mays hit his 14th home run and boomed into the league leadership with a batting average of .433 while having a perfect evening at the plate, but that was about the only bright spot for local fans. MONZANT IS LOSER The Giants gave losing pitcher Ramon Monzant a 4-0 lead which the Braves wrecked in the sixth inning during a five run rally featured by Jerry Lynch's home run with two on base. That was all for Monzant, who gave way to Stu Miller. Ramon now has a record of 4-4. Two were out when the Redlegs exploded.

His mates tallied four times in the fourth to take a lead they never lost.
