Clay has agreed to take 22'i per cent. Patterson, who announced he will not ret ne despite two first round knockouts in his latest two ,ring appearances, admitted he's out of the title picture right now. Surprisingly he added that he gives Clay a chance to beat Son ny in September because of Clay's youth, speed, weight laboul 210 pounds', ani punch.

But Floyd's reputation was tar nislicd considerably Monday night because at times he seemed somewhat fearful of the massive, solid-punching champion. And Floyd was booed by the fans wlien he left tlie ring. He could draw but little consolation from the fact that he had lasted four seconds longer Monday night than at Chicago on Sept. 23 last year when Sonny took him out with a single knockdown at 2 OH of the first round. Sonny barraged Patterson to! the body and head early Monday night and dropped him to one knee with a right to tlie head. Floyd was up at "one" and took tlie mandatory eight count on his feet. Almost immediately tlie cham pion staggered Floyd with a left hook to the head and then bar raged him at close quarters. Pat terson tried to tie up Liston in a clinch but Sonny smashed him again and again in tlie left ribs with his right list and broke up tlie clinch. Then he dropped Pat terson with another right to tlie head. Again Patterson was up almost immediately and look the eight count standing.

Benvsm Maris NY Fashioning Old-Fashioned Runaway In AL By United Press International It looks like an old-fashioned New York Yankee runaway pcr- haps the easiest since the Yan-j kees themselves romped by 12! games in 1947. . That's the picture in the Amer ican League today with the world champions 7'i games in front of the pack and just starting a long home stand where they almost al ways are at their best. The Yankees made it four in a tow on their current home stand when they whipped the Los An geles Angels, 8-4, Monday nighl and opened a 7'j-game lead on Ihe idle second-place Chicago White Sox. No other major league games were scheduled in either league. Ralph Terry, the World Series hero of 1962. staggered the full nine innings on the strength of an early Yankee assault that pro. duced a 7-0 lead after three in nings. Terry was tagged for 12 hits including Lee Thomas' Chargers Hold First Scrimmage BOULEVARD. Calif. IUPH The San Diego Chargers held their first scrimmage of their pre season training today. Several veterans and a rookie impressed coach Sid Gillman Mon day in the pro club's first contact workout. Rookie detensive tackle George Gross of Auburn drew praise from Gillman, who said Gross was a key man in light of the vacancies created by veteran Bill Hudson, who was traded to Boston, and Ernie Ladd, still away from camp. Gillman also singled out the running of halfbacks Paul Lowe and Keith Lincoln. Guards Sam Gruneisen and Pat Shea and linebackers Chuck Allen and Emit Karas also looked good, said Gillman. i iAfk V, rwnml. mm Mmn i I..1IIIHI i(ii; 'ij'My".....';'!.)!:, LISTON KEEPS TITLE Seguence shown here shows Floyd Patterson going down to the canvas, flat on his back, center, and embracing the world heavyweight champion Sonny Liston. Liston won the title fight by knocking Patterson out in the first round again UPI Telephole two-run homer in the fourth in ning and Bob Sadnwski's two-run single in Ihe eighth hut evened his season record at 10-10. Tom Tresh, back in the lineup after missing three games with a neck injury, sent the Yankees of! in front against rookie Fred New man with a two-run homer in the first inning. Then the Yankees routed New man with a five-run third-inning featured by two-run singles by Tresh and Elston Howard, and added another run in the fifth on a homer by Johnny Blanchard. Trash's homer was his 16th of the season and Blanchard's his fourth. Terry, a 23-game winner 1962 struck out our and walked one. , The Yankees won the 1962 pen nant by five games and the 1961 and 1960 flags by eight. Their 10 game margin over '.lie field in 1958 is the biggest victory bulge since the 1947 team coasted in by 12 lengths. The .White Sox will have a chance to gain ground tonight when they play a twi-night dou. blehcadcr in Detroit. Other AL games have Los Angeles at New York, Minnesota at Cleveland.

CL1 JS ONE OF EIGHT ERRORS night as the Klamath Falcons The Falcons beat Brookings, 14-1. The play here shows shortstop LeVoy Young cross ing the bag and the ball is in front of his leg. The throw from third base was low and into the dirt. The first baseman Allen Payne missed the throw and it bounces past him here. Liston 'Guesses' Cassius ight Not Be Quite LAS VEGAS, Nev. (UPD-Ex- cept for four seconds and 1,900 miles, there wasn t any ditference it was still Sonny Liston, the heavyweight boxing champion of1 the world. He won the title last September in Chicago when he knocked out Floyd Patterson in 2:06 of the first round. Monday night, in Las Vegas Convention Center, it took him four more seconds to do Patter son in again. It was Lision all the way just like it was nine months ago in Chicago. "But it was easier this time," said Liston. He "guessed" it might not he so easy the next time when his opponent will be brash Cassius Clay in Philadelphia on Sept. 30. Who's Clay?" he asked "Was that the guy who came in'o the ring, sho"k hands with Patterson and then just waved his right hand at me? I thought it was a fine geslure that he wanted no part of me. Well, he won't after I get him in the ring at Phila delphia. Public May Forget Liston obviously does not think his second one-round kayo of the outclassed Patterson will make him a national hero but he does think zipping Clay's lip might help the public forget about his spot ted past. Liston is an ex-convict. 1 just want to be known as a fighting champion." he said.

" v This was only one of eight won the second game of take them all on, including this guy Clay. I ask again who is he?" Clay retorted that Liston will find out. I'll get rid ' of him in eight rounds," he predicted. So now another boxing spectac ular is in the making and boxing people are saying it will be a $7 million deal. II had better be a good bout be cause boxing is hurling and Lis- ton's repeat victory Monday night didn't help it any. For there were thousands who paid $5 or more to see it on closed circuit television nd there couldn't have been many of them who thought they got their money's worth. It was the same when Ihey fought in Chicago, Talk of $7 Million The total lake here was about $1.5 million. Now they are talking about $7 million for thai Liston Clay fight in Philadelphia. They better bring in a new breed of boxing fans to make a gale that large. BEATING IT OUT Marv Yunck, Falcon shortstop, beets out an infield hit here in the seventh inning of the game against Brookings which the Falcons won Monday night, 14-1. Yunck hit a high bounding ball toward second. The teeond seeker from Brookings made the play and toned to the pitcher Larry Barton. But Yunck was touching the bag as can be seen here and Barton's foot has not yet reached the bag. It was hit. Brookings' errors Monday the American Legion playoffs So Easy Clay is one boxer who may keep that big gate, including big TV cut, going. There were 7,816 people who paid from $10 to $100 to see Mon day night s alleged bout and you can be fairly certain that few of them will be in Philadelphia just as there were very few here who saw Liston win that first fight. So boxing has come down to a point where Clay, a talkative boy from Louisville, may provide one more big pay day. However, it could be another fraud, or a spectacle, because most of those who know boxing best do not think that Ihe Louis ville Lip belongs in the same ring with powerful, awesome Liston. That is not to say that Liston is unbeatable. He may not be a Jack Dempscy or a Joe Louis hut he still is hy far the best on the scene today and nobody who figures as a real challenger is in sight.

't;ltoMUa!W Roseburg Foe For Birds By JERRY WAGGONER Herald and News Sports Editor Like tlie Sonny Liston Floyd Patterson "return" match Mon day night, the Klamath Falcon- Brookings game ended much the same as the so-called fight. Til Falcons, who beat Brook ings Sunday on tlie coast, 10-4. accomplislied the feat in easier style Monday night at Gem Sta dium to the tune of 14-1 behind tlie brilliant pitching of Gary Ben son and the barrage of hits by the Falcons. The Brookings players must have thought someone unleashed pitching machine-gone-wild on them Monday night as the Falcons tagged two of its Southern Curry pitchers for 17 hits and the 14 runs. Meanwhile, Benson was having le of his best games of tlie season. He allowed only two hits Ihe entire game and he set, for himself and the Legion pitchers this summer, a new strikeout rec ord as he set down 17 Brookings batters by the whiffing route Benson was superb in that he wasn't his usual wild self. He walked only three Brookings bat ters all night and had a perfect came for four innings. He had a no-hit game going for four and two-thirds innincs. In addition to this mound feat, he also slammed a triple and single for three runs-batted-in. But tlie Falcons can't take all the credit. Brookings aided the. Falcons considerably with eight errors. The night game seemed to. bother them, for. they had .played only a couple of games all sea son under the lights. The Falcons had pounded two Brookings hurlers for 16 hits in the Sunday came. They built their team average up consider ably Monday night with the 17 safeties. The game belonged to the Fal cons from the first. After Ben son had set Brookings down in the first frame, the Falcons came to bat and sent 1! men to tne plale and scored five runs. Le Voy Young reached first on an error as did Larry Binncy. Both advanced on an error by the sec ond baseman of Brookings and John Parisotto got the first of his three singles for the first run. Mike Kitching walked and Lanny Guyer was the first out on a strikeout. With the bags still loaded, michor Jav Paxton walked to force the second run home. Dave Johnson then tied into one of siarler and loser Hon uunn s pitches lor a single to right field to score both Parisotto and Kitch ing. John Gray singled and Ben- Next son plated Paxton with his first hit. That was all the scoring until the fourth although the Falcons threatened in the second. The fourth found Binney whiffing but Parisotto singled again. Kitching doubled to deep right center but The Falcons will go to Rose burg Saturday night (or the first game of that best two-of-thrce series. The Sunday game will return to Klamath Falls, also at 8:30, and the third game. If needed, back to Roseburg Monday night. All three games are at 8:30. Parisotto had to hold at third. A throw by Brookings catcher Bob McNeeley was wild to third trying to pick Parisotto off. He scored and Kitching went to third, but much to the surprise of ev eryone, didn't even slow down as he rounded third. He beat the leftfielder's throw home sliding. Loach John Paxton s crew made it 10-0 in the fifth. John, son led off with his second single and Gray was safe on another er ror. Benson then drove a fly ball higher than tlie field lights and to deep right center. The Brook ings ccnterlielder and rightlield- er collided right near the (ence as Benson's hit dropped right at the base of the fence. He rounded third as the throw in was bob- bled by the shortstop and he raced on home. Brookings' lone run came the seventh. After Bob Dunn had whiffed, Allen Payne drew a walk from Benson and it cost him. Bob McNeeley drove Benson's two- strike pitch to the deepest part of the outfield for a triple which scored Payne. He died on third as Benson proceeded to strike out tlie side, a feat he accom plished tluee times during the nine-inning fracas, The Falcons look advantage of more errors in the seventn lor three more runs. Marv Yunck got an infield hit and Binncy walked Parisotto was safe on a fielder's choise which caught Yunck in a rundown between home and third and he was tagged out. Kitch ing's hard shot to shortstop was errored on again, letting Binney score. Lanny Guy-r's triple to left center scored both the other runs. The final run came on a single by Johnson, a stolen base, a sin lile bv Gray, a walk to Yunck to fill tlie hags and a walk to Binney for the force run. Benson sent his record to 11-1 for the season. He now has struck out 113 opposing batsmen in only 82 innings of pitching. He has given up only 12 earned runs (or a brilliant 1.02 ERA (or the sea son. His only loss was to Medlord.
