V., TU1SPAY EVENING, MARCH 5, 1961 Frazier, Benvenuti Score Title Victories In Garden Fights Joe Sends Foe To Canvas In 11th; Nino Regains Middleweight Crown NEW YORK (AP) - Tigerish Jos Frazier connected with a short, thunderous left hook in the closing minute of the 11th round to stop king sized Buster Mathis and win a four-state piece of the world heavyweight title last night at Madison Square Garden. The punch sent the bloodied gfant from Grand Rapids, Mich., on his back over the bot- tom strand of the ropes. Mathis barely staggered to his feet at nine but referee Art Mer- cante immediatly halted the fight at 2.33 of the 11th of the scheduled 15 rounder F r a z i e r 's mighty blow brought a huge roar from the near capacity crowd in the 20;000-seat arena which had thrilled to the upset victory of Italy's Nino Benvenuti over de- fending champion Emile Grif- fith for the middleweight title earlier in the evening. Benvenuti, a 2-1 underdog, dropped Griffith in the ninth round but barely, survived a staggering right to the jaw in the 15th round himself in win- ning a close but unanimous de- cision. Frazier, a 2-1 favorite id" the battle of unbeaten heavies, won recognition as world champion in New York, Massachusetts, Maine and Illinois. The doubleheader title card, the first boxing show in the new arena, drew a crowd of 18.096 which contributed to a record indoor fight gate of $658,503. The old record of $511,000 v/as set by the third Floyd Pat- terson-I n g e m a r Johansson heavyweight title fight at Mi- ami Beach's Convention Hall on March 13, 1961. Prices ranged from $10 to $100. Frazier and Griffith earned S175.000 each. Benvenuti col- lected $180,000 as well as the title and Mathis $75,000. The bouts were telecast by closed circuit to more than 70 locations in the United States and Canada and to Italy, Mexi- co and Puerto Rico. Stiff Battle Mathis, a 243 I 4 pounder who moves as nimbly as a flyweight gave his smaller, 204Vi pound ri- Magazine and in some parts"of the world. Benvenuti sent Griffith spin- ning to the canvas with a thun- derous left and then continued to hammer away for the deci- sion that sent the middleweight title back to Italy. It was a close bout that ended in high drama, with the Italian's legs weary and wobbling under Griffith's furious fusillade in the final seconds, while « crowd of 18,000 in the new Madison Square Garden rocked the raf- ters with a resounding tribute. Griffith finished gamely, scor- ing with terrific shots in the fi- nal round, but Benvenuti re- fused to go down. Referee Johnny Lo Bianco and one judge, Frank Forbes, both marked it eight rounds for Benvenuti, six for Griffith and one even. Judge Al Berl had it even in rounds, 7-7, with one even but gave the decision to the Italian on points, 9-8 with the knockdown decisive. The Associated Press scored it 7-6-2 for Benvenuti. It was the second time in less than a year that the tall, classic Italian had beaten Griffith, a Virgin Islander now living in New York, for the 160-pound crown. He floored Griffith once in wresting away the champion- ship last April 17, but he was a victim of Griffith's savage comeback the following Sept. 29 when he was chopped up by Griffith's murderous lefts and body punches. In this third and rubber meet- ing, the first half of a double- header pitting big Buster Math- is and Joe Frazier for the New York version of the world heav- yweight championship, Benven- uti outboxed and outfoxed his sleek opponent for the first four rounds. Then suddenly the bout took a sharp turn, with Griffith ap- pearing to come out of a stupor and to start an aggressive at- tack that won him four rounds in a row and appeared to make a mockery of the rest of the fight. Then came the decisive ninth round. Left Hooks In the opening minute, both v,l from Philadelphia, a stiff figh !f, rs i ? nleashed _ le i t ^ <>ks at battle for the first six rounds. But Frazier, putting on the pressure with thudding body punches that seemed to dig deep into Buster's belly, wore the mammoth fighter down and then set him up for the stagger- ing-blow that ended the fight There wasn't a knockdown un- til the dramatic moment when Frazier draped big Buster over the ropes. The stocky, muscular, 24- year-old Frazier kept pounding Mathis' body like a woodchop- oer trying to cut down a mighty oak. Some of the blows hurt, I nd Buster flinched at times. 3ut he kept coming back with exactly the same moment Benvenuti s thunderclap blow caught Griffith flush on the chin —he was moving in and off bal- ance at the time—and the Vir- gin Islander went spinning across the ring, falling to the floor on the seat of lily white shorts. Lo Bianco counted seven be- fore Griffith rose to his feet, glassy-eyed and seemingly con- fused. Griffith had to take a mandatory count of eight. Benvenuti, inspired by the chants of a large Italian follow- ing in the gallery of the new arena, moved in for the kill. in the upper tiers raised their chant: •'Neeno, Neeno, Neeno." "Box him, son, oh, please box him," Griffith's mother contin- ued to plead. She was on the verge of tears. Three uniformed policemen led her to her seat. Griffith was just a shadow of himself in the succeeding few rounds. Now confident, boxing in a straight up style with left hand high and punching with the ac- curacy of a fine rifle, Benvenuti continued to press his assault on the fading champion. In the 10th, he backed Griffith against the ropes and hit him six successive blows in the big- gest flurry of the fight Emile looked like a dazed, confused animal in the 11th as he hung on, trying to block Ben- venuti's blows, struggling to get back into the fight. In the 12th, Nino was a clever marksman, scoring with straight lefts and jolting rights. The 13th was a dull round, but in the 14th Griffith came out and started swinging desperate- ly. He connected with a right that sent Benvenuti's head back with a snap. The 15th and final round was one of high excitement. Griffith nailed Benvenuti w.th a right to the head. Then he hooked and scored again with a looping right. For the first time, the Italian appeared in trouble, but he hung on for the final bell. He lost the round but not the fight. Benvenuti weighed in at an even 160 and had a 5'2-pound advantage over Griffith at 1S4V*. Griffith collected $175,000 and Benvenuti $80,000 for the bout on a program that grossed the biggest gate in indoor fight his- tory. Of the knockdown, Griffith said: "The guy hit me. There's no doubt about that. But I was thinking clearly. I even helped the referee with the count" Gil Clancy, Griffith's comana- ger, said there was no provision for a return bout but added: "I think the fight calls for one."

There are people milling around on the sidewalk outside of the Garden who want to come in and protest. But only a few have dropped in so far."

The win evened the series be- tween the two teams and left Denver 3*4 games behind divi- sion-leading New Orleans. Dal- las is six games out. The Rockets held a 64-50 lead at the half but were outscored 26-24 and 22-20 in the final two periods. Adding to the Rockets' total were Wayne Hightower with 18 and Willie Murrell with 14. John Beasley scored 27 to lead the Chaparrals. son, but missed five weeks be- cause of a nervous breakdown. Along with Mahovlich, the Red Wings obtained Pete Stemkowski and Gary Unger and gave up Norm Ullman, Paul Henderson and Floyd Smith, all forwards. Detroit also acquired the rights to veteran defenseman Carl Brewer and sold Doug Bar* ne, a minor-league defenseman, to the Leafs, who assigned him to Tulsa of the Central League. Six years ago, the Chicago Black Hawks offered the Leafs $1 million for Mahovlich at a late-night cocktail party and the following day, Tommy Ivan of Chicago showed up with a certi- fied check for the amount The deal was finally cancelled after a storm of protest from fans similar to the one triggered by the trade Monday. Mahovlich said, "I'm sorry to leave Toronto. I've been treated well and I have a lot of friends here. In the last two or three years, I've been happy at times and unhappy at other times. In Detroit, Red Wing Manager Sid Abel said "Mahovlich and Brewer are the key men for us. Both are proven All-Stars and they give us great strength at two positions we need help the most—left wing and defense. The Red Wings are in last place in the NHL's East Divi- sion and the Maple Leafs are fifth. Both have little chance of gaining the Stanley Cup play* offs.

The triumph enabled the Mav- ericks to acquire a two-game edge over the Oaks in the battle between the two teams for a Western Division fourth place finish and playoff berth. The Oaks made a serious threat at the beginning of the third period by closing the gap to 68-64, but the Mavericks pulled away on Somerset's fine shooting to lead 95-81 at the close of the quarter. Houston increased the lead to 100-83 with 10 minutes remain- ing in the final quarter. Guy Manning, Joe Hamood and Art Becker each scored 16 points for Houston. Jim Hadnot paced the Oaks with 28.

(AP) - Ken Rosemond, who coached Geor- gia's basketball team to its finest season in a decade this year, yesterday was given a new three-year coaching contract. "Ken has done an outstanding job at our basketball coach as evidenced by our fine 1967-68 season," said Joel Eaves, Geor- gia athletic director. "Georgia's stretch finish—with victories in six of seven games against some of the best teams in the South — was particularly out- standing." Georgia wound up its season Saturday by beating Florida 97-83, giving the Bulldogs a 17-8 season record and an 11-7 South- eastern Conference mark, good for a share of fourth place, and the Orioles are apart. Robinson, who sat out a month last season with double vision after a baseline collision and still managed to hit .311 with 94 runs batted in and 30 home runs, says he is standing by $125,000. Personnel director Harry Dal- ton of the Orioles, who original- ly offered last year's $100,000 salary, then raised it to $105,000, reportedly increased his offer to $110,000 Monday after talking to Robinson 1V4 hours. some time, the problem was a little different. He was being asked to take a cut from the re- ported $40,000 to $50,000 be got in 1967. "I'm not going to take a cut," he said adamantly. "I don't think I deserve it." Callison, who from his home in Philadelphia has talked to General Manager John Quinn several times, maintained his 1967 production of a .261 aver- age with it homers and 64 RBI would have been better if he had not played with the injury. "He quoted me one price at the beginning," Callison said of Quinn, "and it's still the same. I'm just not going to take that." Quinn also is having trouble signing Cookie Rojas, Rick Wise and Johnny Briggs. Boyer reportedly is seeking a $5,000 raise from the $45,000 he is being offered.

Frazier, Benvenuti Score Title Victories In Garden Fights Joe Sends Foe To Canvas In 11th; Nino Regains Middleweight Crown NEW YORK (AP) - Tigerish

Jos Frazier connected with a short, thunderous left hook in the closing minute of the 11th round to stop king sized Buster Mathis and win a four-state piece of the world heavyweight title last night at Madison Square Garden.

The punch sent the bloodied gfant from Grand Rapids, Mich., on his back over the bot­tom strand of the ropes.

Mathis barely staggered to his feet at nine but referee Art Mer-cante immediatly halted the fight at 2.33 of the 11th of the scheduled 15 rounder

F r a z i e r 's mighty blow brought a huge roar from the near capacity crowd in the 20;000-seat arena which had thrilled to the upset victory of Italy's Nino Benvenuti over de­fending champion Emile Grif­fith for the middleweight title earlier in the evening.

Benvenuti, a 2-1 underdog, dropped Griffith in the ninth round but barely, survived a staggering right to the jaw in the 15th round himself in win­ning a close but unanimous de­cision.

Frazier, a 2-1 favorite id" the battle of unbeaten heavies, won recognition as world champion in New York, Massachusetts, Maine and Illinois.

The doubleheader title card, the first boxing show in the new arena, drew a crowd of 18.096 which contributed to a record indoor fight gate of $658,503.

The old record of $511,000 v/as set by the third Floyd Pat-terson-I n g e m a r Johansson heavyweight title fight at Mi­ami Beach's Convention Hall on March 13, 1961. Prices ranged from $10 to $100.

Frazier and Griffith earned S175.000 each. Benvenuti col­lected $180,000 as well as the title and Mathis $75,000.

The bouts were telecast by closed circuit to more than 70 locations in the United States and Canada and to Italy, Mexi­co and Puerto Rico.

moves as nimbly as a flyweight gave his smaller, 204Vi pound ri-

Magazine and in some parts"of the world.

Benvenuti sent Griffith spin­ning to the canvas with a thun­derous left and then continued to hammer away for the deci­sion that sent the middleweight title back to Italy.

It was a close bout that ended in high drama, with the Italian's legs weary and wobbling under Griffith's furious fusillade in the final seconds, while « crowd of 18,000 in the new Madison Square Garden rocked the raf­ters with a resounding tribute.

Griffith finished gamely, scor­ing with terrific shots in the fi­nal round, but Benvenuti re­fused to go down.

Referee Johnny Lo Bianco and one judge, Frank Forbes, both marked it eight rounds for Benvenuti, six for Griffith and one even. Judge Al Berl had it even in rounds, 7-7, with one even but gave the decision to the Italian on points, 9-8 with the knockdown decisive.

The Associated Press scored it 7-6-2 for Benvenuti.

It was the second time in less than a year that the tall, classic Italian had beaten Griffith, a Virgin Islander now living in New York, for the 160-pound crown.

He floored Griffith once in wresting away the champion­ship last April 17, but he was a victim of Griffith's savage comeback the following Sept. 29 when he was chopped up by Griffith's murderous lefts and body punches.

In this third and rubber meet­ing, the first half of a double-header pitting big Buster Math-is and Joe Frazier for the New York version of the world heav­yweight championship, Benven­uti outboxed and outfoxed his sleek opponent for the first four rounds.

Then suddenly the bout took a sharp turn, with Griffith ap­pearing to come out of a stupor and to start an aggressive at­tack that won him four rounds in a row and appeared to make a mockery of the rest of the fight.

Then came the decisive ninth round.

battle for the first six rounds. But Frazier, putting on the

pressure with thudding body punches that seemed to dig deep into Buster's belly, wore the mammoth fighter down and then set him up for the stagger­ing-blow that ended the fight

There wasn't a knockdown un­til the dramatic moment when Frazier draped big Buster over the ropes.

The stocky, muscular, 24-year-old Frazier kept pounding Mathis' body like a woodchop-oer trying to cut down a mighty oak. Some of the blows hurt, I

nd Buster flinched at times. 3ut he kept coming back with

exactly the same moment Benvenuti s thunderclap blow

caught Griffith flush on the chin —he was moving in and off bal­ance at the time—and the Vir­gin Islander went spinning across the ring, falling to the floor on the seat of lily white shorts.

Lo Bianco counted seven be­fore Griffith rose to his feet, glassy-eyed and seemingly con­fused. Griffith had to take a mandatory count of eight.

Benvenuti, inspired by the chants of a large Italian follow­ing in the gallery of the new arena, moved in for the kill.

in the upper tiers raised their chant:

•'Neeno, Neeno, Neeno." "Box him, son, oh, please box

him," Griffith's mother contin­ued to plead. She was on the verge of tears.

Three uniformed policemen led her to her seat.

Griffith was just a shadow of himself in the succeeding few rounds.

Now confident, boxing in a straight up style with left hand high and punching with the ac­curacy of a fine rifle, Benvenuti continued to press his assault on the fading champion.

In the 10th, he backed Griffith against the ropes and hit him six successive blows in the big­gest flurry of the fight

Emile looked like a dazed, confused animal in the 11th as he hung on, trying to block Ben­venuti's blows, struggling to get back into the fight.

In the 12th, Nino was a clever m a r k s m a n , scoring with straight lefts and jolting rights. The 13th was a dull round, but in the 14th Griffith came out and started swinging desperate­ly. He connected with a right that sent Benvenuti's head back with a snap.

The 15th and final round was one of high excitement. Griffith nailed Benvenuti w.th a right to the head. Then he hooked and scored again with a looping right.

For the first time, the Italian appeared in trouble, but he hung on for the final bell. He lost the round but not the fight.

Benvenuti weighed in at an even 160 and had a 5'2-pound advantage over Griffith at 1S4V*.

Griffith collected $175,000 and Benvenuti $80,000 for the bout on a program that grossed the biggest gate in indoor fight his­tory.

Of the knockdown, Griffith said:

"The guy hit me. There's no doubt about that. But I was thinking clearly. I even helped the referee with the count"

Gil Clancy, Griffith's comana-ger, said there was no provision for a return bout but added: "I think the fight calls for one."

Fans Angry After Leafs Swap Mahovlich By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS TORONTO (AP) — The

switchboard at Maple Leaf Gar­dens was flooded with angry calls. Outside on the sidewalk, a stunned crowd milled around in confusion. On the local stock ex­change, shares of the Garden corporation lost $1.

Frank Mahovlich had been traded.

TL~ veteran left winger—lor whom the Maple Leafs had once refused $1 million—went to the Detroit Red Wings yesterday in an eight-player deal that ar­oused indignation throughout Toronto.

A switchboard operator at the Garden said most of the callers were "indignant and some were quite emotional. Many tried to find out who they can write let­ters of protest to,"

San Obodiak of the LeafsL publicity department said most of the callers were "housewives who were stunned at the an­nouncement. There are people milling around on the sidewalk outside of the Garden who want to come in and protest. But only a few have dropped in so far."

Mahovlich, 30, scored 48 goals during the 1960-61 season, and has 296 in his 11-year career, a club record. He has 19 this sea-

Denver Chaparrals By 108-98 DENVER (AP) — Larry

Jones hit 30 points and Lonnie Wright 23 last night as Denver raced to a 108-96 victory over Dallas in the battle for sec­ond place in the Western Divi­sion of the American Basket­ball Association.

The win evened the series be­tween the two teams and left Denver 3*4 games behind divi­sion-leading New Orleans. Dal­las is six games out.

The Rockets held a 64-50 lead at the half but were outscored 26-24 and 22-20 in the final two periods.

Adding to the Rockets' total were Wayne Hightower with 18 and Willie Murrell with 14. John Beasley scored 27 to lead the Chaparrals.

son, but missed five weeks be­cause of a nervous breakdown.

Along with Mahovlich, the Red Wings obtained Pete Stemkowski and Gary Unger and gave up Norm Ullman, Paul Henderson and Floyd Smith, all forwards.

Detroit also acquired the rights to veteran defenseman Carl Brewer and sold Doug Bar* ne, a minor-league defenseman, to the Leafs, who assigned him to Tulsa of the Central League.

Six years ago, the Chicago Black Hawks offered the Leafs $1 million for Mahovlich at a late-night cocktail party and the following day, Tommy Ivan of Chicago showed up with a certi­fied check for the amount

The deal was finally cancelled after a storm of protest from fans similar to the one triggered by the trade Monday.

Mahovlich said, "I'm sorry to leave Toronto. I've been treated well and I have a lot of friends here. In the last two or three years, I've been happy at times and unhappy at other times.

In Detroit, Red Wing Manager Sid Abel said "Mahovlich and Brewer are the key men for us. Both are proven All-Stars and they give us great strength at two positions we need help the most—left wing and defense.

The Red Wings are in last place in the NHL's East Divi­sion and the Maple Leafs are fifth. Both have little chance of gaining the Stanley Cup play* offs.

Leafs' Manager Punch Imlach said: "Frank is a heck of a guy. I hated to trade him. But I made the deal to help the Maple Leaf hockey team."

Somerset Sparks Mavericks HOUSTON (AP) - The Hous­

ton Mavericks, behind a 41-point production by Willie Somerset, rode to a 130-120 American Bas­ketball Association victory over the Oakland Oaks last night.

The triumph enabled the Mav­ericks to acquire a two-game edge over the Oaks in the battle between the two teams for a Western Division fourth place finish and playoff berth.

The Oaks made a serious threat at the beginning of the third period by closing the gap to 68-64, but the Mavericks pulled away on Somerset's fine shooting to lead 95-81 at the close of the quarter.

Houston increased the lead to 100-83 with 10 minutes remain­ing in the final quarter.

Howard Signs Largest Pact Ever By Nat Player

By MIKE RECHT Associated Press Sports Writer

Frank Robinson and Johnny Callison feel Baltimore and Philadelphia are adding insult to injury with their money of­fers to play baseball this year

j Robinson felt Dalton "made a ! very sincere try to sign me . . . j It's just that I'm not satisfied

', with the offer yet." "I was hopeful that be would!

I be willing to capitulate at much i less than that," Dalton said of

As a result of these mixed up mathematics of baseball value, the two slugging outfielders re­mained two of the biggest name holdouts as major league spring training moves on.

Clete Boyer, third baseman for Atlanta, was another who has not found the right answer in his talks with the Braves.

But some agreeable figures were' reached yesterday as Frank Howard signed the larg­est contract ever, $47,500, by a Washington player; Mel Queer., Tommy Helms and rookie Jay Ritchie ended their holdout with Cincinnati, and the Orioles did come to terms with Dave John­son and Curt Blefary

Rosemond Gets New 3-Year Pact ATHENS, Ga. (AP) - Ken

Rosemond, who coached Geor­gia's basketball team to its finest season in a decade this year, yesterday was given a new three-year coaching contract.

"Ken has done an outstanding job at our basketball coach as evidenced by our fine 1967-68 season," said Joel Eaves, Geor­gia athletic director. "Georgia's stretch finish—with victories in six of seven games against some of the best teams in the South — was particularly out­standing."

Georgia wound up its season Saturday by beating Florida 97-83, giving the Bulldogs a 17-8 season record and an 11-7 South­eastern Conference mark, good for a share of fourth place,

and the Orioles are apart.

Robinson, who sat out a month last season with double vision after a baseline collision and still managed to hit .311 with 94 runs batted in and 30 home runs, says he is standing by $125,000.

Personnel director Harry Dal­ton of the Orioles, who original­ly offered last year's $100,000 salary, then raised it to $105,000, reportedly increased his offer to $110,000 Monday after talking to Robinson 1V4 hours.

some time, the problem was a little different. He was being asked to take a cut from the re­ported $40,000 to $50,000 be got in 1967.

"I'm not going to take a cut," he said adamantly. "I don't think I deserve it."

Callison, who from his home in Philadelphia has talked to General Manager John Quinn several times, maintained his 1967 production of a .261 aver­age with it homers and 64 RBI would have been better if he had not played with the injury.

"He quoted me one price at the beginning," Callison said of Quinn, "and it's still the same. I'm just not going to take that."

Quinn also is having trouble signing Cookie Rojas, Rick Wise and Johnny Briggs.

Boyer reportedly is seeking a $5,000 raise from the $45,000 he is being offered.
