Verbal Punch
Tossed al lingo
In PurseFuss

NEW YORK, Aug. 8 (AP).-
Now Heavyweight Champion
Ingemar Johansson is catching
the verbal punches.
Yesterday he threw them
from his home in Goteborg,
Sweden. He threatened, among
other things. to pull out of his
rematch title fight with Floyd
Patterson. tentatively set for
September %.
He wanted, he said, a COM
plete accounting by Sunday of
what happened to the money
he earned when he won the
crown from Patterson on
June 26.
IF it doesn't come" the
champ said, the return fight
will have to be postponed until
a later time"
II don't know what he's talk
ing about" Patterson's attor-
ney, Edwin Schweig, said today.
1--WE seem to be dealing in a
vacuum and the situation is
getting silly.
Money in Bank
There is over 100000 in a
bank here. the receipts from
the fight. and not one cent of it
has been touched except for
Expenses. Johansson can come
examine it any time he wants.
His lawyer made two dates
with me to come look over the
books but broke them. All In
gemar has to do is name an
escrow agent and he can look
at the books. An accounting
had to be made to the New
York State Tax Commission
and the New York State Ath-
letic Commission, so how could
there be any Irregularities"
Schweig said he had sent
JohanSson a cable expressing
shock at the champions de-
mand for an accounting by
Sunday.
Schweig said that ito avoid
the question Of wholly unwar-
ranted inferences," he had Of
fered to turn over "all sub
sidiary receipts including Pat
Iterson's and Johansson's share

and approved contracts"

Irving B. Kahn, president
of the TelePrompter Corp,
which handled the radio, tele-
vision and motion picture
rights, also said he was mysti-
fled at JohanSson's demands.
He, too, pointed out that Inge-
mar could have an accounting
for the asking.
He also took a potShot at
Bill RoSensohn, who promoted
the Johansson-Patterson fight
and who since has been de-
posed. Kahn thinks Ingemar'S
confusion stems from the fact
that his contract with Rosen-
sohn gives him 20 per cent
of the promoters share of the
television receipts.
But" said Kahn, "Rosen-
sohn failed to inform Johans-
son that the promoter. in fact,
would not share the television
receipts
Rosensohn, vacationing in
Cannes, France, also had a few
words of advice for all con-
cerned.
"Basically," said RoSensohn

Redskins Cut
Two, Look for
LinebaCkers
By LEWIS F. ATCHISON
Star STAFF Writer

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 8.-The
Redskins RELEASED two players
today, reducing the squad to
as men. At least two more are
expected to follow before the
curtain-raiser of the exhibition
season against the Forty-Niners
next Sunday in San Francisco.
Quarterback Bobby Beathard
of California Poly and Line
hacker Tom Potts Of Tennessee
were waived yesterday. Beat
hard simply had too many
older hands to beat out at his
position, while Potts, a trans
posed end, was too green at his
new position.
Beathard may go to Canada,
or may accept a coaching posi-
ton at Arcadia, Calf, High
School. Potts plans are in
definite.
Trainer Kept Busy
With more than half the
squad nursing bruises of one
sort or another, Coach Mike
Nixon had to call off yester-
days practice. A dozen men
worked out on their own, but
the rest had appointments with
Trainer Joe Kuczo. The wait
ing list was so long. appoint
mentS were necessary.
Guard Joe Nicely and Line
hacker Stan Flowers emerged
from Thursday nights scrim-
mage with the most serious
injuries. Nicely not only has
a shoulder separation but a
fractured bone. 1t could keep
him sidelined for the season.
Flowers has a pulled ham
string muscle, which could kill
his hopes for making the squad.
Nixon is so desperate for ex-
perlenced men, or promising
rockies, to fill the holes at
guard and linebacking, that he
has contacted four teams. Mike
talked to the Chicago Bears,
Chicago Cardinals, Pittsburgh
steelers and Detroit Lions yes
terday without results. Nobody
has any surplus guards.
Dealing With Rams
The Redskins coach hopes to
land a linebacker from the
Rams. The trouble in dealing
with them, however, is that
Los Angeles wants a top draft
pick for players who eventually
will be released anyway.
Nixon will resume the two
a-day routine today. The
Redskins will have off tomor-
row and will go back to double
sessions Monday.

Rain, accompanied by light

until tomorrow.
The Senators and White Sox.
scheduled to meet in a single
game today, instead will play
a double header starting at
2 pm. tomorrow. Former
Washington stars will go
through the motions of pitch
ing and hitting in activities
starting at l pm.
While the Senator's brass
can bask in the fond memories
OF yesteryear, what with stars
OF three pennant-winning clubs
on hand, the present has them
fretting. The fellow who SEEM
ingly was headed toward one
of the brilliant careers of Sem
ators' history, Harmon Kille-
brew, now has some disturbed
followers.
Concern Mounting
Killebrew went to the first
All-Star game at Pittsburgh in
early July as baseball's newest
sensation. He had doomed %
homerS at that point and the
customary comparisons with
Babe Ruth's 1927 pace, when he
slammed so, were being made.
But no longer. 1t was ex-
pected that Harmon would slack
of, as so many others had
who sought to take a run at
Ruth's mark. What wasn't an
ticlpated was the manner of
the curtailment. In 80 games
since that first All-Star game.
Killebrew has been a IT'S hitter.
To his bosses it's inconceiv-
able that Killebrew won't re-
bound, but his slump has been
going on for a long time now
and the concern is mounting.
There's no elation, either, over
the conduct of their rookie out
fielder, Bob Allison. Over the
same period he has been a .259
hitter.
Confident of Sievers
The Senator's brass is willing
to chalk up Roy Sievers' de-
f1ated batting average as a bad
year. Roy has experienced
them before and bounced back.
They're confident he'll be val
liable again next season and
for that reason will be unlikely
to trade him while his market
value is low.
Sievers has been a POP hitter
since the initial All-Star game.
Blend his feeble hitting with
that of Killebrew and Allison
and there's much of the answer
as to why the Senators have
lost % of their last "a games.
They also have pitching prob
lens. what with Pedro Ramos
losing six straight, Camilo Pas
