NOT ANOTHER LOUIS
Rumors of Tax Woes
Spiked by Patterson

Moore. He supports his own
large family, his wife'S family
and a well-populated entourage
of trainers and handlers. Gus
D'Amato, who continues to be
his manager in name only, still

Patterson owns a house in
Rockville Centre, L. l., which is
vacant; one in st. Adams, L. /.

luxury home in Scarsdale, but
he is not a guy who throws
his money around or throws il
away. Security is his watch

He has that security. He will
have more of it after drawing
down what should be the big
gest gross purse in fight his
tory. He is guaranteed 50 mill
lion from the closed circuit
rights alone of the Liston
fight, which will be deferred
compensation.
Last year Patterson pulled in
better than 81 million before
taxes in his two bouts against
Ingemar Johansson and Tom
McNeeley. He must do consid-
erably better for this one bout
In the one bout against Lis

money than Rocky Marciano

colt for the title, until Sep

Bolt, 44-year-old former
National Open champion,
hasn't been doing very well
this year despite the fact he
no longer throws clubs (he
said he quit because it cost
too much). He has won only
$5,511 and the last tourna-

Billy Maxwell, red-haired
Texan who registers from Las

Everyone can talk about the

force play when Bobby Doerr
squeezed home Johnny Pesky
from third base.
The Yanks had a rookie
catcher that year who played
this particular game. He was
enraged over Umpire Bill
Grieve's call on that play and
I thought he was going to leap
out of his shoes. Boy, was he
mad! And even today that
rookie catcher still blows his
top. though now he manages
the Yanks.
After that highly-emotional
game, Yank outfielder Cliff
MapeS challenged Grieve to
meet him under the stands, but
nothing took place. We were
now one game ahead of the
Yanks.
On September 81 we won our
llth straight and felt pretty
good as we met the Senators
the next day. But something
about that day was foreboding
We shrugged it off; after all
it was the Senators and not
the YankS we were facing. We
had our one-game lead and
Parnell. our top pitcher, going
up against Washington. But
there was that odd feeling
among us; maybe it was the
weather, which was cold, dreary
wet and rainy.
/ Going into the ninth inning
we had a 10 lead over Rae
Scarborough, who was one Of
those pitchers that baffled us
like Frank Larry of Detroit does

Clarke, from Hillendale in
Baltimore, has been president
of the PGA for four years. His
message to Gerard was that
he. wouldn't be for five and it
was, up to Henry to find q
successor.
Gerard was thus beknighted
chairman of the nominating
committee, of which he was
the only member at a late hour
last night. But he didn't need
any help to rule out three posi-
bilities.
His first choice as the per-
son who would not be nomi-
mated for office-at least by
hirnLwas Henry Gerard. The
next two were Clarke and Ward
Burgess of Chevy Chase, who
has served in some official ca
paeity for nine years. They dc
not choose to run.

competent pros to accept q
place on the ticket.

make up the bulk Of the exec
utfve committee. The other
positions are the honorary
president, now filled by Max
Elbin of Burning Tree, and the
tournament committee chair
man, an appointive office.
Everybody seems to look on
oftice-holding as a chore, but
Clarke feels it is a chore that
is not without reward.
Il feel I'm a better pro for
my flour years." he said the
other day.
Clarke is bowling out for two
reasons. First, he believes he's
been in office long enough.
Second. he thinks that other
PGA members will benefit from
holding office.

Political Leaders Split
On Foirfox Bond Issue

Two leaders Of opposing po-

drainage bond issue to be voted
on October 2 by residents of
Sanitary District No. 1 in
Fairfax County.
Frederick BabSon, chairman
Of the Falls Church District
Democratic Committee, today
asked members Of his party
to vote against the bonds.
Robert c. Gotten, Repubh-
can member of the Fairfax
Board of County Supervisors,
last night urged G. o. P. resi-
dents Of the sanitary district
to favor it. Mr.. Gotten spoke
at a Fairfax County Republi-
can Committee meeting.
Mr.. Babson issued a state
ment today attacking the bond
issue which the Democratic
controlled Board of Supervisors
approved 10 days ago by a vote
of 5 to o. One Republican and
one Democratic member were
absent at the time.
II consider the bond issue
grossly unfair to our district, I"
Mr.. BabSon said.
They set the referendum on
approximately only a months
notice. Almost half that time
has passed and neither Super
