Jones Not Disporoged,
Just Ignored by Clay

ORLANDO, FLA MAR. 13.-This is one
night when Sonny Liston doubtlessly will
tear himself away from the night club in
the Sir John Hotel or the 81 Lounge Of the
Sea Gull Hotel, where he has been training
in Miami, to watch Tv. On closed circuit
piped into theaters (Goldie Ahearn is using
the Kalorama Skating Rink in Washing
toni, Cassius Clay, no less, will be per-
forming. And he just might absorb his
first licking.
"The boy talks big, but who says he
can fight?" Liston has been asking most
Of the winter. The heavyweight champion,
who has been damning his own upcoming
opponent Floyd Patterson, with curt and
unflattering remarks, insists that he sort
Of leans toward Doug Jones over Clay in
their hereunder tonight in Madison Square
Garden.
Jones stopped Fora Foley" he ac-
knowledges. SHOW me the fighter that
Clay beat to compare with Foley. And
don't bother to mention Archie Moore. He
had It,"
Never to be ruled out is the possibility
that a smart press agent is writing Listens
scripts. This goes both for Sonny's words
and deeds concerning the Patterson re-
match, scheduled for April 10, and for his
running verbal duel with Clay. The new
champ may not need Patterson very much,
but he definitely needs Clay in the future.
LISTON ISN'T THE ONLY fight au-
thority who is conceding Jones chance to
ruin Cassius' perfect record. Doug is
small heavyweight, really an overstuffed
nght-heavy, but obviously he is made Of
stern stuff. He took fearful clobbering
from Foley before winning by knockout
in the seventh round to become the No. 4
challenger in the world, notch behind
Clay and two lower than Patterson.
If incentive counts for anything, Doug
Jones has at least as much as CaSsius.
Ambition and delusions Of grandeur drive
Clay. He has no money worries because
he Is owned and salaried by wealthy
group Of tycoons, most from the self-styled
Great Ones home town Of Louisville.
Jones is hungry. He's never had
truly big payday, nor even the promise Of
one. For the latter he must halt Clay.
Then, perhaps, he will be within reach of
half a million dollars, for only Liston (if
Sonny repeats over Patterson) will repre-
sent step upward.
AT THE MOMENT JONES is making
no extravagant claims. II went pro with
high ambitions" he says. 81 am not let
ting the Foley knockout 60 to my head.
/ am not challenging Lston. But there
are q lot Of good heavies listed under him
that can beat"
Apparently he includes Cassius Mar
cellus, the Kentucky bard, In the latter
category. II have seen Clay fight twice
the night he beat Billy Daniels on an eye
cut In the st. Nick Rink and when he
knocked out Moore In Los Angeles" Doug
says 1.-THE Moore fight watched on Tv.

comedies. Some people say he isn't a
power hitter. From the looks Of II, I'd
have to say he punches pretty good. But

Jones isn't quite as young as Clay, but
he's far from an oldster at 2e. He stands
foot but weighs only 1888 pounds. (Clay is
approximately inches taller but is a nat
ural 200-pounder and win grow heavier.)
But the weight edge doesn't disturb Doug.
Il gave Foley liz pounds" he reminds
ssss
CASSIUS, LIKE LISToN, has put in
considerable time at the same Sir John
Hotel nitery and at the Sea Gull lounge.
In fact, they've bumped into each other
in recent weeks and exchanged unpleasant
tries Unlike another patron of the same
bistros, Luis Rodriguez, who challenges
Emile Griffith later this week for the
welterweight title, Liston and Clay haven't
done road work on hours Of sleep. Indeed,
they haven't been detected doing road
work, period.
The confidence Of Liston and Clay is
boundless. In the case Of Sonny, 1t may
be justified. But Cassius, whose ability to
take stiff punch still is questioned, could
be up against a tough cookie in Jones.
There was occasion recently to talk with
Rollie Hackmer, co-manager Of the New
York-born heavyweight
Doug has a 2l-3-1 record" Hackmer
recited, with Is knockouts. Look at the
three men who've beaten him-Eddie
Machen, before he got sick; Harold john
son, very good light-heavy champion of
the world, and Foley, who got stopped
when he tried it q second time.
"Clay wouldn't get into the ring with
any of EN-"
Jones was nothing less than five years
ago, which was 1858. Today, according to
Ring Magazine, he outranks Ingemar
Johansson, Foley, Cleveland williams ct
al. Hell fight over his head against
Clay" predicts Goldie Ahearn in burst
of long-distance telephone clairvoyancy
also aimed at plugging his own closed Tv
showing.
WHEN JONES sTIFFENED Foley In
his last outing. Fora had racked up eight
straight wins and seemed on his way to
No. o. For three rounds he belabored Doug,
flooring him for the first time in his pro
career in the opening round. It took some
20 rights to the jaw to drop Doug, and
there were more to come.
BY the fourth round Foley, to his dis
may, found that his prey not only remained
upright but was coming on stronger. Fora
slowly but inevitably became disheartened.
He lost some of his punching power. BY
the sixth, Jones was beating Foley to the
punch and assuming command. In the
seventh Doug connected with right to the
Jaw and Foley sagged to the floor. He
didn't get up.
In South Florida, bouncing from one
nitery and one dog track to another, Clay
never disparaged Jones. Mostly. he ignored
his upcoming foe. II he trained seriously
for Doug 1t wasn't widely observed, any
more than Listens preparations for Pat
terson. Cassius, Sonny and Rodriguez may
know what they were doing, maybe not.
Nobody ever trains harder than Patterson,
who revels in the Spartan life. No principal
in a heavyweight title fight ever got
knocked In l26 seconds, either.

A fight with Liston could

tunity to achieve his ambition
of becoming the youngest
heavyweight champion Of all
time.
Patterson holds that distinc-
ton now. He did it when he

MIAMI. Mar. 10 (AP).-Car-
roll d. Rosenbloom. owner Of
the Baltimore Colts, has been
accused in Federal Court of
betting $55.O00 against his own
team in a 1853 National Foot
ball League game.
Rosenbloom's own lawyer put
the accusation on the record
yesterday in an attempt to
have ex-GambIer Mike Nc
Laney Of Miami Beach, who
made the accusation in a depo-
sition three years ago, cited
for criminal contempt. He said
the charge was q vicious and
outrageous lie.
But Judge George c. Young
threw out the contempt motion,
emphasizing that he was not
ruling on the truth or falsity
Of the accusation.
Other Affidavits Cited
Also made public yesterday
were three affidavits in which
McLaney's associates swore that
Rosenbloom was q big bettor.
Robert ]. McGravey, once q
Philadelphia detective, declared
that he was Rosenbloom's per-
sonal assistant from 1851 to
1854 and that he had often
placed bets for him.
Richard Melvin, an investor,
said in his affidavit: II dis
tinctly remember that during
one season he made nine
straight winning bets on pro-
fessional football games"
Larry z. Murphy, one-time
McLaney chauffeur. swore: u
particularly remember that in
1858 when his team was play
ing against the 49ers on the
Coast, Rosenbloom bet q large
amount Of money against his
own team. and because Of the
point spread. won the bet"
Affidavits Sealed
The affidavits. made in con-
nection with a stock deal suit
in 1860. were sealed and the
suit was dismissed by Federal
Judge Joseph Lieb January 5,
1851.
Last winter. q Miami Beach
private investigator. Sam Ben
ton. turned the dispositions over
to NIL Commissioner Pete
Rozelle. On the witness stand,
Benton said he wanted ito re-
move the halo" from Rosen-
bloom.
When Rozelle took no action,
Benton testified, he made 40
copies Of the affidavits and
distributed them among NIL
club owners at a January meet
ing here.
Rosenblooms lawyers said
the affidavits were "replete
with contradictions and false
hoods" Besides, they argued
the unorthodox method In
which they were given TO NIL
club owners prevented" legal
procedures and "insulted" the
court.
No Such Game
But Judge Young said he
construed the sealing orders To
apply only TO the Rosenbloom-
McLaney contract law suit.
Rosenbloom's lawyers ham,
mered hard at McLaney's spe-
cific charge Of O $4,000 bet
against the Colts In 1858. Nc
Laney testified at first that the
bet was against the Colts in Q
game with the Pittsburgh
Steelers.

President johnson, doine
what comes naturally" took
some reporters nearly 20 years
down memory lane when he
called them into his office for
q press conferences yesterday.
His session with the report
ers was reminiscent Of the
free-wheeling press conferences
President Franklin d. Roose-
welt used to hold twice q week
in the same office.
Some Differences
There were no television
cameras tempting anyone to
Try his acting talents or 70
make q speech out Of q ques-
ton.
Just as IN the days Of FDR,
reporters stood IN q big semi
circle In front Of the Prea-
dents desk, f1riously scribbline
IN notebooks.
There were some differences.
Mr.. Roosevelt, crippled by
polio, used to sit behind his
desk, his head tilted back as he
smiled or Scowled at his ques-
TONERS.
Mr.. Johnson stood behind his
desk. Every once and q while he
would pace back and forth, his
head tilted down as he thought
out an answer.
And unlike Mr.. Roosevelt,
whose press conference re-
marks could not be used In
quotation marks except for an
occasional phrase specifically
authorized, Mr.. johnson per-
mitted direct quotation.
Another difference was that
Mr.. Roosevelt scheduled press
conferences in his office twice
a week, while Mr.. Jolnson's
yesterday was held with no ad-
vance notice.
But the sirnilarities were
much greater than the differ
ences. Foremost among these
was the informality Of 1t all.
