WE'RE READY, COACH Over 50 embryo ball players turned out for the opening of
the five-day Softball Clinie at Conger Field Wednesday. The clinic, originally scheduled
for a four day run, was added-to because of the weather and will now continue on Mon

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

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

Working with Kemnitzer in the

Primary function of the clinic has

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.
Phil Shartzer's single with one
away in the 10th inning drove in
the "winning run, giving the Seat
tle infielder four runs-batted-in for
the night. 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.
Dick Stuart collected his 22nd
home run of the season at Salt
Lake City as the Bees shaded
Sacramento by the same 6-5
score. 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.
