Cassius Clay Winner By KO In Third Round By DICK FONTANA United Press International PITTSBURGH (UPI) — Cassius Clay, the undisputed “champ of prophesy,” sailed home to Louisville on a cloud today with a promise to become the “champ ofc heavyweights” in 10 months. Clay, self-proclaimed “Louisville Lip,” disposed erf former professional football star Charlie Powell in 2:04 of the third round Thursday night to fulfill a predicted knockout victory for the 13th time in 14 kayo wins. Clay had boasted before the fight that he would “annihilate” Powell in the third round. Immediately afterward, matchmaker Teddy Brennan of Madison Square Garden announced he will sign the third-ranked Clay to a fight with Doug Jones for March 13 in New York. “I would like to fight Jones (ranked sixth) and Billy Daniels (ranked seventh) on the same night,” Clay confidently asserted in his jubilant dressing room after extending his unbeaten string to 17 straight. “In this way,” he added, “I can make greater progress.” Drew Heavy Boos Clay's easy win over the 214pound Powell drew heavy boos from a record local indoor crowd of 11,238 which paid a gross of $44,782 and a net of $47,360. Ten per cent of the net, $4,736, will go to a fund for families of 37 men killed in a mine explosion last month. Clay said a “hard right hand” set up Powell for the kill. The punch which put him down was a left hook. The 21-year-old Clay had little trouble with Powell, 29-year-old from San Diego, Calif. He danced around the ring through the first two rounds, landing stinging jabs and straight rights almost at will as Powell chose to stalk around the center of the canvas. Powell said a "flurry of punches” near the end of the second round “got me woozy” and he went down uhder the barrage in the third. While referee Ernie Sesto tolled eight Powell, on his hands and knees, attempted to get to his feet but shook his head futilely and was counted out. “I’m the prophet of the fight game,” Clay said later in his dressing room. “I’m making history. After all. I'm calling my rounds and making them stand up. Working on Time Table “I’m working on a timetable,” Clay added. “My schedule is to win the championship in 10 months. I am the Louisville Lip. My lips break records when I

I should have jabbed more and kept the pressure on him. Clay said Powell had hurt him with a left hook in the second round. “It shook me,” Clay declared. “Powell kept on talking to me. He kept on saying from the first round on, "Come on big mouth, it’s nearly round three.” I stayed cool, I didn’t pay any attention. I noticed fear in his eyes in the third. Kill the head and you die,” Clay said. Clay, who weighed 204, said Powell was “the roughest fighter I met yet—for three rounds.” Clay said he could vanquish champion Sonny Liston in eight Powell, remarking on this said, “Clay will be okay, if he can stay away." „

Don Zimmer Reacquired By Dodgers By FRED DOWN UPI Sports Writer The Los Angeles Dodgers made good on a three-year-old promise today with the acquisition of “the little man with toe big heart” Don Zimmer, traded away in 1960, was reacquired from toe Cincinnati Reds Thursday as General Manager E. J. (Buzzy) Bavasi sought utility infield help and an aggressive, fiery “leader type.” Bavasi told Zimmer in 1960 that there always would be a place in the Dodger organization for him because “he’s the kind of spirited guy you like to have on a ball club.” Zimmer is equally at home at second or third base and can fill in acceptably for short periods at shortstop. Zimmer, whose courage in overcoming the effects of two nearfatal beanings makes him highly respected in all baseball quarters, hit only .213 in 77 games for the Reds last season. To get him, the Dodgers sent minor league pitcher Scott Breeden to Cincinnati in a straight player deal in which no cash was involved. Maloney Signs Contract The Reds also announced the signing of pitcher Jim Maloney, 22, who had a 9-7 record for them last season. It was toe seventh contract received by General Manager Bill DeWitt, who sent out Cincinnati contracts only a week ago. The Detroit Tigers signed seven players, including pitcher Phil Regan and second-baseman Jake Wood. Regan had an 11-9 record with the Tigers last season while Wood hit .226 and led the team with 30 stolen bases. Others signed by the Tigers were Vic Wertz, who batted .324 as a utility infielder and pinch hitter; Bubba Morton, who batted .262; Mike Roarke, a promising catcher with a .213 batting average; Mike Christino, 18-year-old first baseman drafted from Baltimore, and Doug Gallagher, who had a 9-5 pitching record with Denver last season. Four Left Unsigned The Chicago Cubs were left with only four unsigned players —Bob Buhl, Phil Murdock, Don Prince and Cuno Barragan—when they received three more contracts in Thursday’s mail. The new additions to the Cubs’ satisfied list were outfielder Dom Landrum and pitchers Dave Gerard and George Gerber man. Landrum, 26, was acquired from the St. Louis Cardinals in June and hit .285 in 115 games for the season. Bob Miller, a former pitcher for the Philadelphia Phillies, was named assistant baseball coach at the University of Detroit. Miller broke in with an 11-5 record with the National League pennant winning 1950 Phils but never approached that success afterwards and wound up with a lifetime mark of 45-45 in the majors. His career was ended in 1958 when he suffered a broken arm. H. S. Basketball Hammond 76. Gary Wallace 43. Indianapolis Tourney Attacks 49, Arlington 46. Wood 58. Howe 56.

Welii And Abel Lead In Bowling Tourney KANSAS CITY, Mo. (UPI) — Billy Welu of St. Louis and Joy Abel of Chicago today headed America’s finest bowlers in the pin fight for SIOO,OOO in cash prizes in the 22nd annual All-Star bowling tournament. Welu fired an 844 four-game series Thursday night to cap a big day which saw him win 8% of a possible 12 games. Right behind him in this 22nd annual Bowling Proprietors Association of America (BPAA) classic were three other St. Louis keglers, Ray Bluth, defending champion, Dick Weber, and four-time past champ Don Carter. In the 32 championship round games rolled so far in the men’s division, Welu has scattered 7,137 pins for an average of 223 per game. His 290 game Thursday was high for the day. Bluth has 7,147 pins, but the championship rounds are being scored under the Petersen point system, which gives one point for every 50 points and one point for every game won. Miss Abel has racked up 3,291 pins in 16 games for an average of 205. Bobbie Shaler of Chicago, who had Thursday’s high twogame series of 505—third highest in All-Star history—moved up to second with 3,289 pins. P Marion Ladewig, who was leading going into Thursday night’s action, slipped to third. She has a pin total of 3,212. Strange Names In Leaders In Lucky Tourney By HAL WOOD UPI Sports Writer SAN FRANCISCO (UPD—There were some strange names among the leaders in the $50,000 Lucky International golf tournament as the second round of play got under way today. Art Wall, the 39-year-old former Masters king; and Jacky Cupit, 23-year-old 1961 “rookie of the year” were leading the race with fbur-under-par 675. Their names are well known. But did you ever hear of Terry Dill? Jack Bissegger? Bob Barrisen- or Bill Eggers? They are right up there close, ready to take over if the leaders show any signs of faltering on the over-played Harding Park public golf course. The greens are so bumpy the leading professionals refuse to even comment on them. And the lies are so tight that many of the top names are playing like duffers, . _______ But Wall and Cupit, and 21 others who broke par are not complaining. They had no trouble mastering the fairways and solving the greens. Dill was tied at 68 with Dick Mayer, the former National Open and World champion; Charley Sifford, the Negro golfing king; long-hitting Bobby Nichols, and Phil Rodgers, a 23-year-old rookie from University of Texas who shows signs of greatness. Bissegger who had a 69, is a Canadian with promise. Jiarrison with 70 has played the winter tour several years from Palm Desert, Calif., and Eggers is playing out of Las Vegas, Nev. But such men as Arnold Palmer, 73, Gary Player, 74. and National Open champion Jack Nicklaus, 76, found the going a bit too rough. Meanwhile, defending champion Gene Littler stayed up close with a 70; and Bill Casper, winner of the Bing Crosby last week, had a 69. Wall had an eagle and three birdies en route to his 67. Hie eagle came when he socked a four-wood 200 yards to within three feet of the pin on his final hole, then dropped the putt for a three on the par-five ninth. Cupit, a solid shotmaker from Longview, Tex., has four birdies with one of them coming when he chipped from 30 feet away into the cup on the ninth hole. He also dropped one 25-foot putt—and had no complaints on the greens. Body Is Identified As Fort Wayne Man MOBILE, Ala. (UPD—Authorities here said Thursday they will perform an autopsy on the body of a man washed ashore from the Gulf of Mexico and tentatively identified as Jesse Napier, 53, Fort Wayne, Ind. Police said there were no signs of violence and Mobile County Coroner Dr. Earl B. Wert said the man apparently drowned and had been dead for a week.

Polio Sweepstakes Now In Final Week Approximately 600 entries have been received in the men’s division, as the Polio Speepstakes begins its final week this evening at Villa Lanes, Eddie’s Recreation and Emick’s Bowl. Gary Schultz and Rollie Ladd, co-chairmen of the sweepstakes in the men’s division, said this morning that with the 600 entries already in, they were very optimistic of exceeding 700 entries for the month-long affair. With one week remaining after this evening’s bowling, Bruce Sprunger of Berne is still clinging to the lead in the men’s division on the strength of his 717 series. Harald Hoffman of Decatur is the present runner-up with a 678 series. Begin Final Week Beginning Friday evening bowlers will have their last chance to enter the Polio Sweepstakes the night their league bowls, as the affair ends Thursday, January 31. Bowlers in league play at Villa Lanes and Eddie’s Recreation in Decatur, and Emick’s Bowl in Berne, are eligible to enter the Sweepstakes, and may secure an entry blank from their league secretary or president. Entry fee for the Sweepstakes, sponsored by the First State Bank of Decatur, is $1 in the men’s division and 50 cents in the women’s division. A person may enter as often as his or her league bowls. The affair is being handled by the Decatur Bowling Association.

Sunday Night Games Slated For Houston CINCINNATI, Ohio (UPD—For the first time in major league history, Sunday night games were included in the official 1963 National League schedule which was released today. Bowing to the intense day-time heat in Houston during the summer, league officials granted the Colts permission to play seven Sunday night games at home this year in a special ruling. Some Sunday afternoon games have been finished under the lights for one reason or another but this will mark the first time in major league history that a team actually will start a game on Sunday night. The Colts are scheduled to play their first Sunday night game against the San Francisco Giants on June 9. All told, the 10 National League clubs are scheduled to play a total of 419 night games, two less than last year. Houston has scheduled the most night games, 69, the Los Angeles Dodgers follow with 59 and then come the Cincinnati Reds with 52, Philadelphia Phillies, 50, Pittsburgh Pirates, 48, St. Louis Cardinals, 46, Milwaukee Braves, 42, New York Mets, 28, and Giants
