Pep Borone Reviews
An Interesting Chapter

SOMEWHERE OVER THE ROCKIES,
flying back from Las Vegas, a man stroll
ing down the aisle Of the Jet paused and
stood over a seated passenger. SIN Pep
Barone," he said.
1t happened so quickly that there was
no time to. contact Senator Kefauver or
Senator Mcclellan and beseech protection.
Barone is the man the lawmakers and
some boxing commissions branded the
notorious frankie CARLOS out-of-jail
'front.'" hoodlum and a person unworthy
to conduct the affairs Of the lovable heavy
weight champion Of the world, Sonny Liston.
But Listens father-confessor in non
Catholic way, Father Ed Murphy of Den
yer, couldn't have been friendlier. Bar
one, big, hearty guy who Travelled to
Vegas for the fight with party Of fellow
Pennsylvanians, talked freely of his former
association with the ex-con who is on top
of the fistic world.
'Liston is the best finisher I've ever
SEEM" he volunteered.
HE WAS SPEAKING Of finishing an
opponent in the ring, as 1t turned out.
when Liston hurts an opponent" Pep
explained amiably, "he don't waste any
time. Now you take Ingemar Johansson
the time he swatted Patterson between the
eyes in 1859. Floyd never knew where he
was and Johansson was swinging at him
from behind, from the side, from the front.
"You remember he went down seven
times In the third round. Johansson hardly,
hit him after the first punch and every
time Patterson fell down he got up little
stronger. You think Liston would've wasted
that time?"
When 1t became necessary for Liston
to get rid of Barone in order to be &C
ceptable to various State boxing commits
sions, there was, of course, q price tag.
"Tm to get $75,000," Barone said on the
plane. $50 far I've collected $2l, 900. so
there's $4,000 due me-"
HIS FELLOW PASSENGER, shudder-
ing, said, "I'd hate to have to collect
bill from Lston."
I'm not worried" Barone smiled.
"Everything's legal and air-tight. Frankly,
don't want the $4,000 balance in a lump
sum. Taxes, you know. Anyway, Liston
hasn't got II right now"
How can he not have it2" Pep was
asked. Didn't he do all right financially
In the two Patterson fights2"

All of the experts are trotting
out their own reasons why the
Yankees are turning the Amer
lean League race into a walk
over, but many Of them are
missing an obvious explanation
another great year by Whitley
Ford.
Manager Ralph Houk talks
about the clubs depth and
maneuverability, and others
point to the two fine rookie
hurlers. AL Downing and Jim
Bouton. There are plugs for
the strong infield and for the
performance of the three good
catchers. There is also the
torrid hitting of John Blanch-
ard, filling in for Roger Maris.
However, there has been very
little excitement about Ford,
even though he has won IL in
q row and 16 in all to help the
Yanks take an 8Ia-game lead
over the pack. Trouble is,
there's nothing unusual about
1t. Whitley has been doing it
for so long that everyone ex-
poets 1t.

BALTIMORE, July rs. -
Minnie Minoso believes base
ball is a game that you play
to win, and If you set a record
or two along the way it's just
part of the business.
Minoso has passed two mile
stones this year, his 14th in
the major leagues. He stole
his 200th base early in the sea-
son, and last night he passed
the 1000 mark in runs batted
in with a grand-slam homer
that gave him l ,003.
His grand slam wasn't
enough, however, for the ORR
oles accounted for six runs on
three hcmers and again beat
the Senators, 8-5. That makes
it 10 out of IL for the season.
But 1t was Minoso'S night for
a while. He gave Bonnie DAN
iels a 40 lead with a clout
over the leftfield fence in the
second inning off Rookie Dave
McNally. Minnie bounced on
home plate as he scored, and
everybody was up off the bench
to form a reception committee.
A couple of diScouraging
hours later, there was no levity
in the Senators clubhouse.
Worried About IdIeness
Minnie actually talked more
about how disheartening it has
been for him to sit on the
bench most of the year. He
said he didn't realize he was
that close to 1000 runs-batted-
in until Manager Gil Hodges
reminded him of it during a
little heart to-heart talk the
other day.
Mickey Mantle, Yogi Berra
and Vic Wertz are the only
other active American Leaguers
who have passed 1000 RBI.
In Minneapolis the other
night they flashed it on the
magic. message on the score
board. Minnie said that re-
minded him of it again, but
actually he has not been press
ing to reach the figure.
II know I hold the record
for getting hit the most times"
Minnie said. otherwise, there
are too many statistics, too
many figures.
IF I could just play every
day. I am not used to playing
one or two days and sitting
out four or five. If I could
play and we could win, they
could have all Of the records.
Il have not lost my conf
dence. But / cannot help on

lornly.

allowed only six hits.
Kansas City, which has now
won eight of its last 10, swept
two from Boston on the key
hitting Of Ken HARRISON and
George Alusik. Harrelson had
a two-run homer and scored
another run in support of Or
lando Pena's neat seven-hitter
in the opener. Alusik singled
and doubled for three runs in
the nightcap.
Ron Hansen, q pit hitter
going into the game, cracked
a two-run homer and drove in
another with a sacrifice fly in
producing all of the White
Sox' runs against Detroit. It
was the 18th game of the sea-
son In which he had driven
in the winning run.

POINT OF VIEW --
Romney Must Fill the Void

Kennedy has not, despite pub
lished reports, played any role
in the formation of the new
Cuban exile government. The
administration is determined tt
stay completely clear of the ef-
forts by the exiles to organize
themselves and does not in fact
regard 1t as important whether
any political organization is
achieved. This view is shared
by many of the exiles, who fee
that the impetus for Castro'S
overthrow must come from
within Cuba.
