CASSIUS (MUHAMMAD ALU
CLAY, THE MORALIST
CHICAGO <NPI> Boxing U a
•port In which a fellow can spend
bis entire career—brief as It usual
ly is without ever being recog
nized as a “Child of God.”
Indeed, hardly a decent word Is
ever said about the fist fighter. All
the talk of cleansing pugilism of
unsavory influences. U vtxli and
good, but in the end, it pug
who gets bruited around.
The more popular spot today
on the port of both tan and eru
aader !e to picture the first
fighter ae some sort of ogro U»

So. when someone come* elong
and cays something charitable •-
bout the poor pug, it la not only
unusual, but noteworthy.
Thera are. of courae, a few ex

the former Brown Bomber who, on
his record alone, 1« the greatest
i heavyweight champion of all times;
and me personable Rocky Marciano
another creditable ex-champion.
There la also the cane of Harry !
Wills, a gentleman in and out ol
the ring during his career.
The target of erites and hex

young champion named C**-

But th# other day. I heard some
rather complimentary remarks a

men is close enough to know about
hie Idiosyncraclee end complex per

Chicago A tty Chauncey Eskridge,
tax councilor to Clay, » wore '
the books that Cassius, despite his
boastful attitude, is a moralist of the
first order. Listen to Eskridge ex
pound on "Th# Lip:”
“Clay 1* a very moral person. Bo
moral, in fact, that he confounds
you. He is a young man who realti
es fully his role ss a champion and
is determined to do everyhmg to
remain on top."
According to Eskridge. Clay does
not chase women and is very deter
mined to remain faithful and spot
less to his beautiful young Muslim
bride, the former Sonji Roi. ex
model from Gary. Ind. More than
that, he la determined, says Esk
ridge. to keep his body In the very
best of physical condition, so that
he can withstand the onslaught of
the Big Ugly Bear. Sonny Liston,
when they meet In their heavy
weight championship rematch.
“You can bet your life that
Clay will bo to top condition
and will return bis crew* when
they meet *«*&».' tk* articulate
attorney too*.
The rematch Is tentatively set for
Boston on November IN. the threat
by th* World Boxing association to
lift Clays title if he dares cross
gloves with Luton, notwithstand

It U Eskridge's belief that Clay
“really whipped LUton" In their
Brat title match. In Miami Beach,
last March, and will do so more con
vincingly th# second time.

Hie government gets 90 per cent
of the prize fighter’s purse for

somewhat of an unfair burden to

as.compared to other Mg money

should be adjusted, he thinks, to
take the prize fighter’s uncertain
future Into consideration.
