The World Boxing Association has a bout scheduled next month between Jerry Quarry and Jimmy Ellis for its version of the title. Illinois, however, a member of the WBA, agreed to recognize the Frazier-Mathis winner as champion. Frazier refused to join the WBA tourney and Mathis was uninvited. Mathis, of Grand Rapids, Mich., beat Frazier twice in the amateurs and has all the physical advantages—four inches in height, three inches in reach, nearly 40 pounds in weight. However, Frazier, whose 19-0 record includes 17 knockout# and wins over Oscar Bonavena, Eddie Machen, George Chuvalo and Doug Jones, has & reputation as a puncher, and apparently that is enough for the oddsmakers to make him a 2-1
favorite.
Griffith, who lost the middlei weight title to Benvenuti in April last year and regained it ! five months later, is a 7-5 favi orite in their rubber match. The Italian challenger, who held the junior middleweight ! title, has a 73-2 record. Benvenuti 27, used his speed and
ehusetts, Maine and Illinois— jab to win the middleweight agreed to recognize the winner title, but he couldn’t cope with as champion. Griffith in the rematch.
NEW YORK UPI—Joe Frazier meets Buster Mathis for a share of the heavyweight title and Emile Griffith risks his middleweight c r o w n against Nino Benvenuti in the first boxing contests in the New Madi-
son Square Garden.
; The four fighters were ex- ! pected to weigh in at 11 a.m. today in the Garden arena I without any incidents, but sev- : ! eral black power groups and the W.E.B. Dubois Clubs of New' York have promised to i throw" a picket line around the Garden tonight to support Cassius Clay’s claim that he still is the heavyweight champion. It took four years, a promise ! ; that the bout would be recogi nized for the heavyweight title and guarantees of $250,000 to arrange the meeting between Mathis and Frazier, and the match became a center of controversy as soon as it was an-
nounced.
Before the match could be made, Frazier, who gets $175,000 compared to $75,000 for Mathis, demanded that it must be called a heavyweight title bout, and the commissions of four states—New York, Massa-
A FRAIL YOUNG MAIDEN hauled a hulking big bruiser /a. into court, charging, “Your Honor, this bum is my fiance. Last night he socked me in the jaw, broke my right arm, stamped on my toes, and knocked out four teeth. “Don’t pay no attention to her, Judge,’* interrupted the bruiser. “She’s punchdrunk.” • * * The great Russian composer, Igor Stravinsky, tells the story of a series of cables he once exchanged with, our own George Gershwin. “How much will you charge to teach me orchestration?” Gershwin wanted to know. “How much do you make a year?” countered Stravinsky. “About $200,000,” cabled Gershwin. There ensued a few days of silence, then Stravinsky cabled back, “How about your giving ME lessons?” • • * The paying teller In a Missouri bank always keeps a paper napkin at his elbow. “Whenever a customer goes off without his change,” he explains, “I bang the counter with It as hard as I can.” • • • “My wife Is the best-informed woman In Utica,’* boasted Attorney Nagle. “She can speak for & full hour on any subject.” “Poof,” sneered his friend. “MY wife doesn’t need a subject.” C 1968, by Bennett Cert.
