Perhaps that ae -- er than "ghost" but either way, after years -- sendy ee Ba or have almost proven that | such things don't exist -- and then along comes Cassius Clay to prove the scientists wrong, Years from now they'll have a dozen different names and versions of what happened last night -- or what didn't happen; A morning. coffee confrere referred to it as "That Was 'The Fight That Was" maybe it should have been, the fight that 'wasn' Those boys in Boston, a while back, weren't too bright when they tried to use their whole harbour for a teapot but the current crop had all their buttons when they kicked that fight out of Boston, a few weeks ago. The Lowells and Cabots would have had to wear gas masks for a full generation, Lewiston, Maine. will never be the same. Few had ever heard of the place before -- fewer will want to ever go there now, It's no wonder they took that performance into "the sticks". It's a wonder they didn't have a king-size riot as it was. It wouldn't have been surprising if irate customers had stormed the box office demanding their money back. THE PHANTO LAST NIGHT'S debacle goes into the record book as the shortest heavyweight title bout in ring history. It can also go in as the worst. They said Jack Johnston held his hands over his eves, to shield the sun, while he was counted out, to give Jess Willard the world's title -- but at least they gave the customers eight rounds of action. Liston had his back to the TV camera (the one we were watching) so that shrouded the contraversial punch in even greater mystery and maybe that wasn't even a coincidence either but for sheer gall, reviewing it via video, in slow motion yet, that had to be sheer stupidity. Clay himself, at first, said he got Liston with a left hook. He threw one of these -- the re-run showed that -- and he cut a swath through the ozone, about one foot from Liston's head every inch of the way around, Just prior to that, he powder-puffed his opponent with a right glove, that didn't even look like a tap it was barely a push, as we saw it -- and not even a hard or fast "push' at that. Liston folded ne and then they'll tell you it was an athlete's natural reflexes in action scrambled to his hands and knees, in a flash. But, appar- ently realizing that it was too soon, he then carefully rolled backwards on his pants looked up at Clay, who was taunting him then when referee Joe Walcott finally re covered from his stunned moment of panic and counted Liston out Liston promptly enacted his version of "the bear 'got up, and slowly walked away If he never. walks into a boxing ring again, there'll be no loss to game, If he does -- any fight fan that pays a dime to go and see it, should have his head read the OSHAWA MINOR Softbal! Association accepted two en- to their Kiwanis Bantam Boys Softball League, at their meeting last night, with Storie Park and Fernhill Park pay- ing their entry fees. While nothing official has ever been received over our desk, we hear that Neighborhood Parks Assoc. has formed, or is forming Bantam League. Originally, about 17 years ago softball body was formed in co-operation with the CRA then in oper- ation here, but at the request of the CRA, which had a heavy program operating pee wee girls and boys, as well as girls' leagues in bantam and midget, the OMSA was asked to take over the operation of boys' softball in the bantam and midget ranks. The two teams concerned voted at last night's meeting to extend the entry date deadline until Monday evening, of next week. This means that if any team or teams still want to enter the Kiwanis Bantam League, they have until May 31, when the closing meeting will be held, again at Simcoe Hall (Simcoe St. South) at 7:30 p.m. Gaels Win Third, Play Here Tonight Oshawa Green Gaels made it ping 45 shots, many of them three-in-a-row in the Ontario!dangerous Junior Lacrosse Association Ju nior "A" series last night when | " they bombed Toronto Township MS great leadership on the floor 18-9 in Port Credit -iwith his five assists.
