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.

out with a single knockdown at

Sonny barraged Patterson to!

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

Who's Clay?" he asked "Was

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

Public May Forget
Liston obviously does not think
his second one-round kayo of the

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.

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.

Like tlie Sonny Liston Floyd

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-

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

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

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
