GRIFFITH HITS MARK! Welterweight champion Emile Griffith lashes out . with a long right and con- nects with the head of chal- lenger Jose Stable in their title fight in New York's Madison Square Garden TWIN TITLE FIGHT Griffith Retains Crown; Torres Upsets Pastrano By AL COLLETTI NEW YORK (CP) -- Until a Brooklyn real estate operator came along to provide the bankroll, Jose Torres for years had to bask in the limelight of Floyd Patterson. Today, Torres is the new world light-heavyweight cham- pion and the darling of New York's huge Spanish commu-| nity. Now he wants to fight Cassius Clay for the heavy- weight championship, and he may get the chance. The 28-year-old Puerto Rican beltercrippled world champion Willie Pastrano with a jolting left hook to the kidney and took away his 175-pound title on a} technical knockout in the ninth round Tuesday night, winding up a doubleheader champion- ship card. In the opener, cagey Emile Griffith gave slugger Jose Sta- ble a boxing lesson to retain his welterweight crown on a unani-| mous 15-round decision.

Young made Tuesday night's card possible when he agreed to make up any losses in Pas- trano's $100,000 purse. But there won't be any even though the promoters staked virtually the entire gate money on purses and expenses.

Faloney Demand Lucrative Bargain TORONTO (CP)--The Globe and Mail says that Bernie Faloney, former quarterback of Hamilton Tiger-Cats of the Eastern Football Conference, wants more than $200,000 over a three-year contract to play football for Montreal Alouettes. Sports. editor Jim Vipond quotes Faloney in a copyright story as saying that if the con- tract demand is out of line, he would like to be traded to Tor-| onto Argonauts. Faloney, 32, was traded to National Lead Semi-Final Set Montreal by Hamilton during the winter in a deal involving eight players. A former all- American at the University of Manyland, he played for Ed- monton Eskimos of the West- ern Football Conference before coming to Hamilton in 1957. He has become a Canadian citizen and makes his. home in Hamilotn where he has busi- ness. connections. The Globe says the contract \demand was made about four weeks ago and <> startled Al- ouette officials that they felt sure Argonauts had been tamp- ering with Faloney. Commissioner Sydney Halter of the Canadian Football League said in an interview with the newspaper that he had LONDON, Ont.

"Bowling proprietors of Canada have already awarded him a plaque for his contribu- tion to the game through the introduction of his delivery and his scores," he said.

Woodstock Grabs OHA Senior Title WOODSTOCK (CP) -- Wood- stock Athletics captured the Ontario Hockey Association senor championship Tuesday night as they defeated Oakville Oaks 3-2 in the seventh and de- ciding game of the series. By PAUL SUFRIN TORONTO (CP) -- Andre Morissette, a profes sional duck-pin bowler from Mont- real, is winning fivepin bowl- ing games. in Ontario in hands - down style. Its his style that brought him to Toronto to appear on a nationally - televised bowling program for 18 consecutive weeks. Morissette, 22, uses the duck - pinner's approach to five-pin bowling. He throws the ball with his right hand palm-down over the ball. The left hand is cupped under- neath as a guide. On the alley the ball rolls about two-thirds of the way down, brakes into a skid and goes into an over-spin that is supposed to create the maxi- mum pin action upon impact. Fres Sgambati, CBC sports announcer and master of ceremonies of the bowling program, said Tuesday duck ing is popular in Quebec. of an 1 doubleh title bout. --(AP Wirephoto) last night. Griffith retained his title with a unanimous decision in the 15-round fight. Fight was the opener The Oaks appeared headed for a win as they led 2-0 at the 15:30 mark of the third period It uses 10 pins, each about three-quarters the height and stubbier than those in five- pins. STYLE A SUCCESS For Morissette, who bowled fewer than 50 fivepin games before coming to Toronto, this style has proved a success and a model for other bowlers. Sgambati said that since Morissette qualified for the program 18 weeks ago, he has won every five-game match. His record stands at 65 game Woodstock.

But coach Billy Reay said 'Tuesday he's not too optimistic about Hull's capabilities and they left winger won't be as- signed to his usual duties of checking Gordie Howe. Hull skated for the first time in 10 days Tuesday, wearing the brace on his damaged left knee while taking part in the Black Hawks' 90-minute skat- ing, shooting and scrimmage drill at Chicago. "It stood up today," Reay said after the session. "He'll try it again tomorrow. We won't make a decision until we see how it is 24 hours after the first exercise.. He won't be on Howe, at least not at the start." After the practice, Hull said: "T feel pretty good. It didn't hurt."' TAKES FACEOFFS He played on left wing but took the faceoffs instead of centre Phil Esposito. His usual position is away from the face- off circle, waiting for the pass that will set up his big shot.

After Tuesday's practice, which Abel waived for veteran) players, the Wings went to Toledo, Ohio, for a period of relaxation before returning to Detroit for the opening game. Montreal Canadiens, who open their best-of-seven series against Toronto Maple Leafs at Montreal Thursday, were also win healthy. SEE DIFFERENT RESULT | The club's general feeling was that they wouldn't bow out to the Leafs this season as they have during the last two years. The club's superb condition was summed up by centre Henri Richard who said: "For myself, I feel at top shape. We're not the same club that went into the playoffs last year." Coach Hector (Toe) Blake, who saw the Leafs defeat his charges in seven' games last year before going on to defeat the Red Wings for their third straight Stanley Cup, said: "I feel confident we'll take them this year."
