When Cody and Clay finished their two rounds, someone in the crowd asked: "Which one is fighting Liston?" Asked about the hooks Cody landed, Angelo Dundee, Clay's trainer, said: "If you want to swim, you gotta get wet. This is the place to make the mis- takes, not in the fight." GETS TIRED Clay, a 7-1 underdog against Liston, said: "I'm tired when I get in the ring after doing five miles of road work, wear-|f ing five-pound shoes and carry- hands. "J'm gonna be fast as a jet plane when I get there with that bear. Those gloves and shoes are going to feel so light and itty-bitty that I'll be able to pop, pop, pop at him like a machine Clay said he will box again Friday and possibly Saturday. He has boxed 147 rounds since be started working on Jan. 6. Liston already has finished his boxing sessions. He went through some exercises Thurs- . day. Aiter his exercises, Liston ~gaid he would like to fight In- "gemar Johansson, the former leholder from Sweden. "T"d like to meet Johansson for two reasons," Lison told a press conference after his work- out. "He is a former champion Machen and Floyd Patterson. If he comes back, as he says, I think he deserves a shot at the title." SURLY DISPOSITION If a surly disposition is any criterion, Liston is in the proper fighting frame of mind for his) title defense, He is snapping at newsmen ent. He refused to pose for a pic- jture with Joe Louis, his close friend and adviser, except in the special sideshow deal at $5 a throw. He rebuked sports writers with the biting criticism, "You don't know what you're writing." He also resented references of newsmen to Clay's speed. "Who says Clay is fast?" nang said. 'tHe only talks ast. After his brief workout he| answered questions, "Naw." How long? "Until I can catch him." Does Clay have a chance? "Yeah, if he can run faster) thanI can move! backwards forward." Remember When?... By THE CANADIAN .PRESS New York Rangers ended a 19-game winless streak by beating Montreal Canadiens 6-1 at New York 21 years ago tonight. Home attend- ance had kept up well dur- ing the slump, to which player injuries contributed.

With lead Doug Lawrence throwing four rocks, the under- manned Manitobans got by on repeated. clutch draws and take- outs by Bush. They had trailed 5-2 after three ends and 8- after seven, pulled level in the eighth rock when Harris deliberately blanked the ninth. A couple of front-end misses left Harris needing a last-rock draw to the four-foot circle to win and his shot was light.

The latest arrivals are vet- eran infielder Johnny Logan and journeyman outfielder Chuck Essegian, who flew in Monday. They'll be joined at the end of the month by four more new- comers, outfielders Gordon Windhorn and Stan Palys and infielders Dary) Spencer and Reno Bertoia, of Windsor, Ont. They are the latest in a long line of players who have played out their string in the United States and then moved here, The big attraction? Basically it's money. Average salaries for the seven-month Japanese sea- son are $15,000 to $20,000. Off-field life is much the same in Japan as it is in the United States for the imported Payers, Most live with their families close by their club's home parks.'

CHICAGO (AP) -- Durable Dave DeBusschere, the only pro athlete still doing double duty in basketball and baseball, is heading for spring training with a weak leg, a strong arm and a determined philosophy. DeBusschere signed his base- ball contract with the Chicago White Sox Wednesday, then re- ceived permission from the De- troit Pistons of the National Basketball Association to leave the club and head for spring training. DeBusschere has been side- limed most of the NBA season Owners Will Try Settle Finley Case BOSTON (AP) -- Fellow club owners confronted Kansas City Athletics' boss Charles Finley today in an American League summit meeting designed to settle his stalemate with Kan- sas City officials over a Muni- cipal Stadium lease--or else. League president Joe Cronin already has made it plain the alternative may be the expul- sion of Finley. The principals, armed with legal advisers, weren't talking much prior to the closed door session, But a source close to Louis Nizer, Finley's lawyer, re- vealed Nizer has advised Fin- ley to: 1. Go ahead and sign a three- ear lease under league pres- sure, then. 2. Enter a law suit against the league for forcing him into a lease he did not wish. Cronin ordered the meeting after two deadlines set for Fin- ley came and went without the lease impasse being resolved. The Finley camp is firmly convinced the league has no grounds to disenfranchise him. Cronin admits "Finley has threatened litigation from the) start" if such a move is made. Earlier this week, however, Cronin also told a Senate sub- committee the league has power to do so. When he ordered this meeting, Cronin advised that if a seiiiement was not made, the league is prepared to hold an- other meeting which will "con- sider the termination of mem- bership in the league of Charles O.

He returned to the line- up in January but aggravated lined ever since. The 23-year-old right-hander, DeBusschere was used as a spot starter and as a reliever for the White Sox last year--his second in the majrs--and compiled a 3-4 record with a 3.11 earned run average in 24 games, The opportunity to leave the Pistons will enable DeBusschere to round into baseball form, even though his leg is weak, and prepare for a full-scale as- sault on a starters' berth with the White Sox. He will join the advance camp at Sarasota, Fla. O'DELL SIGNS Two other pitchers with dis- appointing records in 1963 also signed contracts Wednesday. Billy O'Dell signed with San Francisco Giants for an _ esti- mated $26,000, down about $4,- 000 from 1963. The veteran southpaw was 14-10 last yer compared to 19- 14 the previous season. The other was Chuck Estrada, one of the big question marks in the Baltimore Oriole plans. Estrada had won three games and lost two last season when he was sidelined June 1 with a sore arm. He underwent. sur- gery Sept, 25 for the removal of bone spur and calcium de- posits in his right elbow.

Emerson, who faces possible isuspension in Australia for play- ing in this tournament, said the pending action had nothing to do with his defeat, He said it was ney a matter of Edief- sen outplaying him.
