(P)-For-Cassius Clay, nothing has changed . . . and noth- ing is the same The former heavyweight champion of the world came to Charleston to fight again for the first time in 21/2 years. The only sparring he did, however, was with youngsters who had thronged outside his motel. It was the old Cassius Clay who stroke into the street where it looked like a truck fillled with children had overturned and spilled its load. He picked out a youngster and playfully began sparring with him. The crowd began to call the young black kid Joe Frazier, the new heavy- weight champion of the world. All of a sudden Clay stopped; stepped back and looked at the boy and said: "I've got speed and I've got endurance. "And if I meet Joe he's going to need insurance." The boys and girls liked that. They went Clay: 'I wild. He picked up boys, pulled li pigtails- and kissed babies. He old Cassius Clay.

"I'd have to want to do it pretty bad to do that, and I don't want to do it that bad.I could go into any gym in the coun- try and fight all day if all I wanted to do was fight." All the reporters agreed with one who said of Cassius: "A hell of a nice fellow. A good guy. A champion." As Cassius left town, only a reporter, a phographer and three other people were with him at the airport. No one forced him to leave. The feeling was that he came to Char- leston as a champion - and he left as a champion. r4 og 4al Vol. LXXX, No. 42-S Ann Arbor, Michigan-Friday, July 10, 1970 Ten Cent. Li IRD DEC RES SPEE FOR TROOP ITHOR, I j Tigers win a wild one, 7-3 Dalton Jones hit a grand slam pinch hit single into the upper deck in right field in the sev- enth inning to lift the Detroit Tigers to a 7-3 victory over Boston last night. The improbable-sounding play came about when Jones passed Don Wert while circling the bases after hitting what ap- peared to be a home run. Ac- cording to the rules, Jones was automatically out as soon as he passed Wert between first and second. The game was given added fan appeal by a terrific verbal brawl between home - plate umpire Lomnbard i to leave hospital WASHINGTON (P) - Coach Vince Lombardi of the Wash- ington Redskins, recuperating from an operation he underwent 13 days ago, is expected to leave Georgetown University hospital today, club President Edward Bennett Williams said Thurs- day. Williams also held firm on the idea that Lombardi will be on hand for the offigial opening of the Redskins training camp July 19. Lombardi underwent an oper- ation June 27 during which a tumor and a two-foot section of colon were removed. John Rice and the Red Sox bat- tery and bench. The rhubarb developed after Boston starter Ken Nagy yield- ed four straight walks in the sixth to tie the game at 3-3. After the fourth walk, Nagy and catcher Jerry Moses complained bitterly to Rice, and the Boston bench soon joined in the pro- test. Nagy and Moses were both ejected and reserve George Thomas also got the thumb after bumping an umpire. The rest of the Boston bench was banished to the clubhouse by Rice, and could only come back onto the field if they were to play in the game. Boston got a 1-0 lead off Den- ny McLain on a lead-off home run by Dick Schofield, but the Tigers went ahead in the third on a two-run double by Jim Northrup. Boston went back ahead 3-2 with help from an error by Norm Cash, setting the stage for the hectic finish. Gary Wagner, who replaced Nagy, gave up a single to Elliot Maddox to open the seventh, and then yielded walks to Cash and Wert. Jones then came in to pinch-hit for Jim Price and unloaded his flukish hit. In other American League action, the sagging New York Yankees bested Baltimore 7-5 In a game called in the eighth because of rain, Washington finally beat Cleveland, 9-3, and Chicago held on for a 6-5 win over Milwaukee. Jerry Kenney's two-run single following an error snapped a 5-5 deadlock as the Yankees won only their third game in the last 13. There were also a few wild games in the National League. San Diego dumped Cincinnati 10-9 in ten innings as the Reds equalled their longest losing streak of the year-two games. The Mets and the Pirates stayed neck and neck in the East as New York clubbed Montreal 7-1 and Pittsburgh blanked St. Louis, 6-0. San Francisco clipped Atlanta 7-6 in 11 innings, and Houston tripped Los Angeles, 9-5. Cincinnati stormed back from an early 9-1 deficit against the Padres on John Bench's 27th and 28th homers, but the Pad- res tallied in the top of the tenth and held on to win.

Pistons Sign Driscoll DETROIT UP)-Terry Driscoll, a 6-7 former Boston_ College star, signed a three-year con- tract for a reported $100,000 a season yesterday with the De- troit Pistons- of the National Basketball Association. Driscoll, who averaged 18.5 points a game as a center in college, was the Pistons' No. 1 draft choice in 1969, but elected to play in Italy last winter, av- eraging 23 points for Bologna. Neither Detroit General Man- ager Ed Coil nor Bob Woolf, Driscoll's Boston attorney, would disclose exact figures of the contract, but most observers guessed $100,000 per year.

UP) - The National Football League Players Association sent special delivery letters to its members yesterday ordering them not to report to training camps until further notice. And at least two defensive stalwarts for the Dallas Cowboys, tackle Jethro Pugh, and defensive back Mel Renfro, say they'll go along with the holdout. The letter, signed by FLPA president John Mackey, was mailed to all players Wednesday night following lengthy negotiations in New York between player representatives and owners. "Yeah, I just got the letter but I haven't had a chance to read it yet," Pugh said yesterday afternoon. After reading through the letter, Pugh said he'd rather not comment on it except to say he would honor the order. "And I think the Cowboys will be behind it 100 per cent," Pugh said, "although I can only speak for myself." The letter indicated that several outstanding issues had been settled, but others, including pension benefits, still remained in doubt, Renfro said last night he had not received his letter but planned to honor it. "I've just changed my address and I imagine my letter has been delayed," he said. "But I'll honor it when it gets here because I am with the association 100 per cent. Whatever they decide, I'll go along with." Earlier this week, NFL Commissioner Pete Rozelle ordered the start of training camps moved back to next Tuesday while committees try to work out their differences. By LINDSAY CHANEY He comes to your door carrying a briefcase under his arm so he'll look like an opinion-taker. (If he carried it by the handle he would look like a sales- man.) If you go along with the adver- tising plan which he presents, you end up with a 24-volume Collier's Encyclope- dia, a set of Harvard Classics, a set of Collier's Junior Classics, and a cheap bookshelf. He ends up with $552.68. And the whole transaction is not a sale, mind you, it is an advertising pro- gram. The money you paid is for certain "up-to-date" services, not the books. Encyclopedia companies in general are notorious for their deceptive door- to-door sales techniques, and according to lawyers with the Federal Trade Com- sion (FTC), Collier is one of the worst. The basic Collier sales technique which has aroused the ire of the FTC is that Collier salesmen say they are not selling anything. They only "place" encyclopedias in homes as advertising promotion in exchange for a testimonial letter and permission to use it. The charge to the "advertising family" is for certain "up-to-date" services which go along with the encyclopedias. The FTC, however, says Collier is real- ly selling their encyclopedias, and has been suing the company for in an effort to make them stor vertising" gimmick.
