NEW YORK ( -- Joe Fra-
zier dropped Jimmy Ellis twice
and stopped him in the fifth
round last night to win the
undisputed world heavyweight1
boxing championship - un-
less Cassius Clay comes back.
The end came with Ellis, the
World Boxing Association cham-
pion, sitting in his corner after
taking a savage beating f' r o m
Frazier inthegshowdown battle
for the world title.
As the bell rang for the fifth
round it went into the books as
a fifth round knockout.
Ellis, an underdog at odds from
6-1 to 4-1, landed his right hand
punches early but Frazier kept.
marching through and banging
away with both hands to the head
and body. The bout almost ended
in the fourth with Ellis flat on his
back and the count up to five
when the bell sounded. Referee
Tony Perez continued his count
under New York rules and it
reached nine before a dazed Ellis
was able to get off the deck and
wander to his corner.
Frazier, 205, came out smoking
as he always does, ran through
the fire of Ellis' bid for an early
knockout and then just climbed
all over him with constant pres-
sure in the old Hammerin' Henry
Armstrong style.
Ellis, heaviest in his career at
201 pounds, was holding on f o r
dear life in the third while Fraz-
ier punished him with that solid
left hook to the head and body.
Still, Ellis fought his way out of
his corner in one last spurt at the
end of the third.
The fourth was all Frazier as the
stocky Philadelphia slugger grunt-
ing with every punch drove his
man around the ring.
"I've tried to be the best fight-

er in the world," Frazier said af-
terwards.
"I think in a year or two, I
might turn it in and find some-
thing else to do."
He said Ellis' fast start in the
first round "didn't bother me at
all because I hit him with a jab
and I knew he couldn't standaup."
Frazier talked to Ellis several
times in the ring. What did he
say?
"I told him, 'You can't hit, sis-
sy; I took your best right hand.
You ain't got nothing.' "
A near sellout crowd of 18,000
that paid about $600,000 roared
while Frazier swarmed all over the
Louisville boxer and pinned him
in his own corner to absorb heavy
punishment.
Ellis finally went down from a
left-right combination and the ef-
fects of the steady barrage by the
relentless Frazier. He barely got
up at nine.
Sensing the kill, Frazier came at
him again with both guns smok-
ing. A left hook to the head drop-
ped Ellis flat on his back. As
referee Perez got up to five in
the count the bell rang. He contin-
ued to nine and Ellis just barely
did get up.
If Clay, who had picked Ellis, his
old sparring partner to win, de-
cides to come back despite his
statements to the contrary, he may
well have all he wants in Frazier,
the 26-year-old Olympic champ of,

1 1964 who now has won all of his
25 pro fights.
This was his 22nd knockout and DOWN ROUTE 23:
his fifth successful defense of the
six-state title he won by beating
Buster Mathis in 1968.

In Lakeland, Fla., where the

Kuhn?
Newsmen have been unable to
reach the star Tiger pitcher since
Friday in New York when he met
with Kuhn to discuss the 25-year-
old righthander's involvement in
"off the field activities."
"I have no idea where they are.
They're supposed to be in Lakeland
but beyond that all I know is
what I read in the newspapers,"
said a woman who answered the
telephone at the McLain house
yesterday.
"My husband and I are friends
of the McLains and we are stay-
ing at their house while they're
away," she said.
Earlier an officer from the
Southfield District Court went to
the house in connection with a
hearing set for yesterday concern-
ing alleged nonpayment of rent
on the home. He reported that no
one answered his knock and,
therefore, a subpoena was tacked
to the door ordering McLain to
appear in court Wednesday.
McLain had previously been or-I

suit in which he and another man
were ordered to pay more than
$7,000 to Citizens Commercial &
Savings Bank.
Citizens Bank is suing McLain
and a suburban Farmington man,
Edwin K. Schober, claiming they
executed a promissory note for
$7,000 on July 26, 1968, for a loan
in that amount.
The bank filed an affidavit last
month declaring it had not re-
ceived the money. Baker then or-
dered McLain and Schober to
appear in court yesterday.
McLain, who won 55 games for

Detroit the past two seasons, has
had considerable publicity on var-
ious other financial troubles in
which he has become involved.
His salary is estimated to be
$90,000 a year from the Tigers but
McLain has said his income "from
all sources," referring to his many
business interests, is about $200,000
a year.
Ed Demetrak, McLain's former
business manager, says the pitch-
er talked to federal authorities
because their investigation "deals
with people Denny may have
known."
He said McLain has done noth-
ing illegal.

0 CHICAGO-Al Lopez, who has been serving the Chicago White
Sox as a vice president in an advisory capacity, has relinquished his
ties with the club and retired from baseball, President John Allyn
said yesterday.
Allyn said that he received Lopez' decision from Tampa, Fla.,
home "with regret."
Lopez, 61, came to the White Sox as manager in 1957 after pilot-
ing Cleveland and winning a pennant there in 1954. His Sox won the
American League championship in 1959 for the first time since 1919.
Lopez' career as a major league manager showed, besides the
two pennants, 10 second-place finishes, and third, fourth and fifth
once,
t IOWA CITY, Iowa-Iowa Athletic Director Forest Evashevski
yesterday called "false, one-sided and ridiculous" a copyrighted story
in the Des Moines Register reporting evidence of an Evashevski-
inspired plot to outst head football coach Ray Nagel.
Evashevski issued a statement along with ones by former assist-
ant coach Ted Lawrence and Samuel Fahr, chairman of the Board
in Control of Athletics.
"How a supposedly reputable newspaper can print a damaging
story based on unconfirmed conjecture by a mistaken young man is.
beyond my comprehension," the statement said.
* NEW YORK-Bob Beamon, whose magnificent Olympic vic-
tory amazed the world, said yesterday he would probably skip the
1972 Olympic Games for a shot at a professional basketball career.
"I'll compete in track until I get $250,000 from Phoenix," said
the long jump gold medalist of the 1968 Mexico Games.
