Sonny Liston Wins 18th Bout In Row CHICAGO (UPD — Sonny Liston, rated the world's third best heavyweight, won his 25th pro fight with only one eye Wednesday night, but it wasn't by choice. Liston, scoring his 18th straight victory, had to close his right eye to knock out Cuban trial horse Nino Valdes at 47 seconds of the third round because he was seeing double. ‘‘l was seeing two of him all through the second round," he said. "I think he stuck his thumb in my eye in the first round. Anyhow it started to close and 1 was seeing two of everything after that, of 25 wins in 26 fights. "When I was in the comer after the second round, there was an ice bag on my eye, and I saw only one trainer so in the third, I closed the right eye and knocked him out.” It was Liston's 16th knockout triumph and gave him a record of 25 wins in 26 fifhts. Valdes, knocked out for the fifth time in his 18 year career in the ring, declared that Liston was the best heavyweight around right now, even better than Sweden’s champion Ingemar Johansson. “Liston would take out Johansson with one punch," manager Bobby Gleason added. Liston was a 5 to 1 favorite for the bout and he justified the odds. In the third, Valdes was bounced in the ropes in a hurry and as he came off, Liston landed a leftrightrleft combination to fold his opponent onto the canvas.

| Today's Sport Parade | (Reg. U. S. Pat. Off.) By OSCAR FRALEY United Press Internatoonal NEW YORK <UPD — The case of Jackie Jensen today summed up the darkest side of the glittering sports picture. Jensen, at the height of his career with the Boston Red Sox, apparently is planning to retire from baseball next year. His reason is that “being a father by telephone just isn’t proper." It emphasizes the unconquerable loneliness which unceasingly haunts the muscular gypsies of the sports world in the inevitable separations from their loved ones. Name your sport and you can find someone in it who flinches from these long,enforced absences from his family. Big money and the lure of being a headline "name" are extremely attractive when they are young, strong and free of heart. But once they have tasted of it, even fat salaries and fame are poor substitutes for the far-away family. Rosburg Seeks Club "Home" Bob Rosburg, who just won the PGA golf chmpionship, betrayed' his thoughts along these lines at | the moment of his greatest tri-: umph. ■ “I would like a real good club i job,” he said even while receiving congratulations on his victory. “I do not like all of this traveling—and being away from my wife and children so much and so often.” That frorp a man who, only a couple of years ago, was a struggling automobile salesman and in four days had just picked up an SB,OOO purse. These enforced absences from the family hearth were, in the final analysis, the principa. reasons why Rocky Marciano retired as the hea yweight champion of the world. “It’s terrible,” he explained. “Imagine going home and your own child ndt knowing you. And think of how lonely it is for the wife.” Carmen Basilio does most of his training in his home precincts simply because he doesn’t want to go off like a hermit and leave his family. Basilio Misses Family "If and when I quit,” he says, “it will be because I can’t stand being away from my family for such long stretches of time. My first consideration has to be my wife and family.” Back in the days when Bill Stern, the sports broadcast, was constantly on the road, his pretty wife, Harriet, pasted his picture on the crib of their tiny son, Peter. “I told Bill., half jokingly, that I didn't want Peter to forget what his father looked like.” he smiles. “But it was only half joke. I really meant it.” Yet of even more importance than the loneliness of the athlete mi his long trips away from home, or of his waiting wife, is the lost feeling the absence provokes in the child. Walter Hagen Jr., son of one' of the golfing immortals, summed it up in telling of his summer reunions with his famous father. "Most of the time I was in boarding school land then, later, in prep school,” says young Walter, who idolizes his father. "But dad wasn’t much of a letter writer and the only way I knew even where he was came through reading stories about him in the sports pages. Umpires Picking On Cleveland Indians BOSTON (UPD— Are the umpires picking on the second-place Cleveland Indians? Manager Joe Gordon says so. American League President Joe Cronin says he doesn’t believe the umps even “know what uniforms the players are wearing.” “This is ridiculous,” said Gordon Wednesday. "It has to stop before it kills our chances for a pennant. They’re tossing us out now for almost anything.” “I haven’t had any indication that the umpires are being unfair to the Indians,” answered Cronin here. "All of an umpire’s decisions ate close. They’ve got to go one way or the other. I don’t believe our umpires know what uniforms the players are wearing.” Jack McMahon Signs St Louis Contract ST. LOUIS (UPD-Jack McMah-I on Wednesday became the eighth ■ player to sign a 1969-60 contract ; with the St. Louis Hawks of the National Basketball Assn. McMahon, who came to St. Louis from Rochester during the 1955-56 campaign, averaged 8.2 points per game last season.

Martin needs "extensive repairs," according to Dr. George A. Resta, Senators’ team physician who is treating Martin, at Georgetown Hospital. The scrappy second baseman was injured as leadoff batter in the first inning of the second game of Wednesday night’s twi-night twin bill. With a count of two strikes and one ball, Martin was hit in the face by a fast ball served up by Senators’ righthander Tex Clevenger.

1 ■ > Martin was knocked flat by the force of the blow and lay on his face until umpire Joe Paperella rolled him over. He was taken from the field on a stretcher. The accident to Martin, coming as the American League pennant race enters its most critical phase, was only the latest in a series of injuries that have plagued the exYankee infielder this year. He has been out of action at various times with an injured hand, a strained shoulder, and a virus.

The sheep and the wolf are not agreed upon a definition of the word liberty; and precisely the same difference today prevails among us human creatures. — Abraham Lincoln. I
