WIN LOSE OR DRAW
Rocky Worlds Apart
From Sonny, Floyd

LAS VEGAS, July l9.-When Rocky
Marciano was heavyweight champion of
{ the world the writing guys who knew him
and they we're legion-used to sit around
an oilclothed table in his battered training
cottage at GroSsinger's and shoot the
breeze.
Rocky would eat couple of eggs and
drink tea and the others would sip coffee
or. in case somebody had the shakes, Mar
ciano would quietly see about some hair
Of the dog But the living was easy, and the
talk was loose and casual and friendly.
Marciano would ask about the Cubs
or the Senators, or refer to his sentence
in the Army, or tell how it was in his boy
hood days when his feathery little father
worked in the shoe factory at Brockton,
Mass Real coy, 1t was. When the subject
Of the fight was brought up-whether
Rocky was meeting Ezzard Charles or Joe
Walcott or Archie Moore-it was simply
an athletic contest, not grim war.
It's all different here and now. These
guys-Sonny Liston and Floyd Patterson
are Of different breeds. Each has three
mental gear shifts-sullen, Surly and stoical
WHEN A PRESS CONFERENCE is held
1t is like some disorganized board of d.
rectors meeting. The pug sits at the end
of the long table and the reporters jostle
for seats, as In small movie house, and
their questions are disgracefully stilted for
fear OF offending one Of the warriors.
Liston and Patterson are almost
friendless men, That is, anybody who isn't
relative doesn't seem close to either
fighter. Patterson is a dreamy-eyed per-
son who is bursting with completes. Al
though he was the youngest heavyweight
king and the only ruler to regain his title,
Floyd seems TO reek of defeatism.
Once his creator his own Prof.
Higgins was close by his side. That
would be Gus D'Amato cemetery char
acter who brought him out of the amateurs
and artfully and unabashedly guided him
past long parade Of stiffs until the title
was won. Now even D'Amato, as happened
in Chicago last September, has been dis
carded by this lonely, insecure pug Gus is
here on the scene, waiting for the Monday
showdown, but he's only a guy in the
wings.
Patterson rubs him out quickly when
D'Amato is mentioned, to wit:
IFS he still your manager?"
ITO point"
what point2"
Hes in for one-third Of my purses"
-
LISToN is ACCORDED difference by
the press that It shamefully must confess
the man with the long police record who
has paid his debt to society but doesn't
know how-or doesn't want-to make
friends in his new free world.

Redskins Seeking
Site for Exhibition
Against Packers

The Redskins and the Green
Bay Packers have agreed with
the Columbus (Ga0 Boys Clubs
not to stage their September Z
exhibition game in the Georgia
city.
Dave Slattery, assistant gen.
eral manager of the Redskins,
indicated today that the game
will be played at another site.
He expects to have an an
nouncement in a day or so.
Officials of the Columbus
Boys Clubs, which sponsored
Redksin Packer games in 1851
and 1862 at a profit, said pub
lie response to this years pro-
motion was so poor that they
faced grave financial risk. They
asked to be released from the
contract.
The Redskins this year re-
duced their preseason sched-
ule from five to four games.
They open at D. C. Stadium
August Is against the Bears.
They meet the Eagles August "a
at Charlotte. N. c., and the
Colts August 81 at Norfolk.
The Packers game closes out
the exhibition tour.

people say that in his relaxed state he has
become fat and loggy. But he is an awe

any quip appears to be regarded as an
insult.
He is far from an ignorant COON. Some
OF his own monosyllabic answers actually
are refreshing, better than those of Joe
Louis, whose homely parallels were treated
as If uttered by Socrates.
LiSton hates the promoters and will
have no more truck with them after this
defense. At his end Of the table at press

which resemble ball-park hot dogs, and
sullenly denounces Patterson as an op-
ponent and, worse, demeans Cassius Clay.

LISTON'S ATTITUDE diStresSes people
who have, or hope to acquire, a piece of
his earnings Sonny doesn't care. It's EVIL
dent that he distrusts all adults; he feels
they're trying to pick him apart. His only
non-sullen expression is when a kid
white or colored asks for an auto
graph. Kids he trusts. When they grow
up they might become cops or newspaper
men. But when they're kids they're his
allies.
The unique facet of this tryst is that
nobody is sincerely positive that Liston is
a good fighter. He is Sowing, menacing
man, with implausible muscles, and there
are members of the st. Louis police de-
partment, among others, who can attest
that he's tough to take into custody.
But to qualify for his first shot at
Patterson all he did was blow over a Ger
man clown named Albert Westfall, who
resembled Gorgeous Georges little BROTH
er. Later, all he had to do was dispatch
scowl at Floyd, who swooned. On Patter-
son, there's better line. He can be
flashy winner and an impossible loser.
ga
1T is DIFFICULT TO PICK anybody
except Liston on Monday. When a man
packs stage beard and mustache along
with his boxing trunks, as Patterson adj
mittedly does lest he be Inundated, it's
tough to choose him. Last September rs,
when he sneaked out Of Comiskey Park
wearing his disguise, 1t was believed 1t
was new and novel gimmick.
mot true" Patterson told us In mid
March, when his return with Liston origi-
nally was scheduled for an April date at
Miami Beach. II carried the false beard

the title to Johansson. II wasn't lust for
Liston. had the disguise when fought

time because when fighter is beaten he
Is ashamed Of himself"
Now how are you going to pick guy

Chicago. but Sid Hudson, the

The Senators, who collected
approximately a 30-cent per-

DALLAS, July 19.-If Julius
Boros and Tony Lena aren't
IN pretty good shape for to-
days second round of the Ma
tional PGA championship at
the Dallas Athletic Club, then
Arnold Palmer doesn't know
what he's talking about.
Anybody who played late
today and got away with it is
in great shape for tomorrow, +"
Palmer said yesterday.
And Boros and LENA got
away with it. Boros shot SO
over the 7,046-yard, par So
35-71 course and LENA shot 70.
OF course neither threatened
to catch Dick Hart, an assist
ant pro from the outskirts of
Chicago who took the lead with
Sc, but only four others
matched Boros and five more
matched LENA, who came close
to winning both the Masters
and National Open.
Hart climaxed his great start
with a hole in one on the 216-
yard 10th.
MY wife Joyce is expecting
our second baby any minute,
grinned the 27-year-old New
England native who has been
q professional since the day
he got out Of high school 10
years ago. "She may have had
it by now if she's listening to
the radio. She was due last
night"
Greens Best in Morning
Palmer believes those who
played late yesterday and
turned in a good score have an
excellent chance because they'll
play early in the second round.
And by playing early they'll
get the greens when they're in
good shape. The consensus
among the players is that bent
grass greens aren't particularly
suited to the Texas climate and
gel very bumpy and pitted with
spike marks when a big field
tramps over them.
Boros, the National Open
chamrion, played yesterday fol-
lowing 100 others in the orig
inal field of 1877, but today only

and Bob Goalby, runnerup to
Player last year.
Boros, the National Open
champion who is having just
about his best season, went
out in par SO with the help of
an eagle 3 on the first hole.
He came in in 80 with brides
on the 14th, 18th and 18th, a
couple of 400-yard par Is and
a big par 3 requiring a four
iron tee shot.
Boros got his eagle on the
first with a 15-foot putt after
reaching the green with a six
iron second. This hole is listed
at SCI yards but yesterday it
was downhill and downwind. 4
Nine players scored eagles
there yesterday.
Rough Hurts BOrOs
The deep Bermuda rough
acted as the gremlin to Boros.
He was in it four times and
made a par from it only once.
THE green's were real
bumpy," he said, especially on
the back side. i didn't drive
well on the front, but ] hit it
better on the back"
He made out very well on the
greens even though they we're
chewed up around the cup
from spike marks. Boros had
81 puts. including two-putt
green's on Is holes.
LENA also said he putted
well and, in fact, had an excel
lent chance to pull into second
place. He was 3 under par with
three holes to play after
making a birdie 4 on the first
and an eagle 8 on the 18th but
as he hit his tee shot to the
18th his hand slipped and he
pulled it into a drainage ditch
to the left Of the green,
LENA Gets Greedy
IT got a free lift out of the
ditch" LENA said, but then /
got greedy. I could have put
the ball on the green 20 or 80
feet from the hole for a sure
DOGGY. but ! tried to get 1t close.
y left it short, Clipped up and
2-putted for a double DOGGY.
II didn't putt too badly"
LENA said. which was born out
by the fact that he one-putted
five green's and had 81 puts
In all.
Today he tees off early and
has the benefit of putting on
greens that are relatively
smooth. The same goes for
Boros, Of course, and Cramp-
ton and Palmer.
But 1t seems to put both
Player and Hart at a disad-
vantage. Player is due off in
the afternoon and Hart even
later.
Misses Record
Hart, who shot 34-32-66,
doesn't appear to be in danger
Of missing the 36-hole cut that
will pare the field to rs for
the final two rounds tomor-
row and Sunday.

Arnie Says Boros and LENA in Good Spot
TrampIed Greens
A Factor in PEA

80 others will have teed off
before he does.
I'D say Julius is in perfect
position for tomorrow" Palmer
said after posting his opening
round "a, which put him in a
tie for seth place.
BOrOs, NiCxlaus Tied
Boros is tied with Jack Nick
laus, the Masters champion,
one Of the early starters yes
terday, Bob Charles, the new
British Open champion, Mason
Rudolph and Shelley Mayfield,
another club pro.
Doug Ford matched Lema's
70 and so did Bruce Champion,
Earl Stewart, Freddie Haas and
Chuck Congdon. another club
pro from Tacoma, Wash.
Seven others, including Gene
Littler and Sam Snea d,
matched par, making 10 who
either broke or equalled par.
While Hart is enjoying a
three-stroke lead, helped along
immeasurably by his hole-in-
one, he can't help remembering
Minneapolis in 1859. The 81
year-old assistant pro at the
Hinsdale (Ill.) Country Club
led the first round IN that PGA
championship, but after three
rounds he was watching from
behind the gallery ropes.
Misses Cut
He followed up with 70 and
81, and was Sidelined by the
54-hole cut. The following
year he missed the 36-hole cut
at Olympia Fields in Chicago.
and last year he tied for 30th
at Arnonimink near Phila-
delphia.
And even though he is lead
ing today. not many among
the $500 fans who were scat
tered thinly over the course
yesterday were taking him
seriously. An unknown lead
ing the first round of one of
the major tournaments is far
from unusual.

Sc at Aronimink last year and
