@ THE OSHAWA TIMES, Fridey, March 26, 1965 Clay: 'The Mouth' Is Quiet When Spotlight Fades Out By WILL GRIMSLEY MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (AP)-- Heavyweight champion Cassius Clay, known as Muhammad Ali to his Black Muslim brothers, is one man to the general box- ing public and another to those who know him best, A shouting, ranting maniac at times and a loud-mouthed brag- -gart at others, he becomes soft- spoken, warm and modest when removed from the spotlight. "This boy is humble as a baby," says Cassius' assistant trainer, Drew (Bodini) Brown, former trainer for Sugar Ray Robinson. "He is like a little Joe Louis. There is so much kindness in him it sometimes is taken for weakness. He loves people, especially little people, hungry, destitute and lonesome people who live in the slums, He is crazy about little children. "All this loud boasting stuff is just an act, and not like him at all. When he predicts he's going to knock somebody out in a cer- tain round, he comes to me andjsius said. 'They are old-fash- says: 'Bodini, what if I don't do it like I say? I'm scared to death,' " RELENTS QUICKLY Bodini, only member of Clay's 'entourage who has not become a Muslim, says the champion fires him every day and then relents and takes him back. "He hands me money and says: 'Go pay your rent,' " the trainer adds. The. fighter's manager; An- gelo Dundee, calls Clay a model athlete who never causes trou- ble. Cassius' parents insist thei. son always has been a thought- CASSIUS CLAY ful, religious youngster with a soft heart. They have expressec fear that he is being duped by the Muslims. "They just don't know," Cas- ioned. They read all this stuff about people from New Yor going to Chicago to kill me and naturally they're worried. They don't mind my religion." The champion said his great- est thrill in being king of the heavyweights is being able to put on some old boots and cov- eralls and walk through the ghettos and slum sections of the world, "Whether it's in Africa or the United States, these little peo- ple recognize me," Cassius ex- plained.

"I wouldn't be frightened to see Russia, Czechoslovakia and Sweden take on the NHL," the president of the International Ice Hockey Federation told a Tampere press conference be- fore the championships started. "T think. the Russians would win and the other countries would make a respectable show- ing." His theory is that if the Rus- sian team played a_ series against an NHL team--half the games under NHL rules and half under IIHF rules--the Rus- sians would win at least half the games, Many in Tampere, including some Canadian sports writers familiar with the NHL, were Inclined to pooh-pooh the idea.

But he eyes none of these as his place of retirement when he's through boxing. "Ym going around buyinzg farms in various places," he said. "When I'm through fight- ing, I want to be out in the country, with a lot of fresh air, chickens, horses and little kids around me, That's my idea of heaven on earth," Although a devout Black Mus- lim, Cassius refuses to let him- self get agitated over the current racial struggle, fired to white heat by demonstrations in Alabama. "We Muslims are peaceful people and don't believe in dein- y,|onstrations or violence of any kind," he said. "Elijah Muham- mad, our messenger from God, says all this chaos was going to happen.

U.S. Eastern Loop Fines 24 Players NEW YORK (AP) -- Twenty- four players have been fined a total of $650 for participating in a fight that ended Sunday night's Nashville - Knoxville playoff game early in the first period, Tom Lockhart, presi- dent of the Eastern Hockey League, announced Thursday. Lockhart said 12. Nashville players and 10 Knoxville play- ers were fined $25 each while $50 fines were levied against player-coach Don Labelle of Knoxville and Lloyd Hinchber- ger of Nashville. Lockhart said the abbreviated game will be replayed from the start if necessary. Nashville cur- rently leads 2-1 in the best-of- seven southern division series. Rem r When?... By THE CANADIAN PRESS Montreal Canadiens, led by their big line of Maurice (Rocket) Richard, Toe Blake, and Elmer Lach, de- feated Chicago Black Hawks LONDON (Reuters) -- Latest critic of the present defensive trend in modern soccer is Hans Bangerter, secretary-general of the Union of European Football Associations, who says in the current issue of the union's bul- letin: "Football fans do not want to see rigid defensive tactics--' They want goals and live, thrill- ing football dominated by at- tacks." Bangerter's explanation for falling soccer attenddnce in some European - countries is similar to those given in a re- cent inquiry into English soccer --defensive and rough play, poorer quality of soccer gener- ally, lack of comfort in some stadiums, the greatly increased opportunities for other forms of entertainment, the improved so- 7-2 in a Stanley Cup semi final 19 years ago tonight-- in 1946--to win the best-of- seven series four games to nothing.
