Lewis Eyes
Welterweight
Title Bout
WOODLAND HILLS. Calif.
Twenty-three-year
old Hedeemon Lewis is itching
for a chance to fight world
welterweight cha'mpion Joe
Nn poles.
But the youthful number
four ranked contender, from
Los Angeles is going to have
to get more of a test in future
matches than he did at the
Valley Music Theater.
LEWIS, 143, came back from
a six-month layoff to score an
easy knockout at 2:06 of the
third round of a scheduled 10-
rounder with Ricky Ortiz, 147,
New York.
It was little more than a
brisk workout for Lewis, who
lost his last bout in September
when he was knocked out in
the 10th round by Ernie "In
dian Red" Lopez at the Los
Angeles Sports Arena.
It was a different story as
Lewis had Ortiz on the canvas
four times once in the first,
twice in the second and once
early in the third before
referee Bobby Rings stepped
in between the two fighters
while the winner was banging
away at will and his opponent
was cowering against the
ropes. Ortiz offered little argu
ment to the decision.
ORTIZ ALSO was down a
fifth time, this coming when
he went to his knees miidway
through the second claiming
Lewis had thumbed him in the
left eye.
Curt Flood
Objects To
Cards' Trade
NEW YORK Speak
ing softly, almost inaudibly,
Curt Flood said in federal
court that, "I don't think that
after 12 years I should be
traded like a piece of proper
ty."
Flood and Marvin Miller,
executive director of the Ma
jor League Baseball Players
Association, were the only two
witnesses as the trial in
Flood's case to overthrow the
reserve clause reopened in
U.S. District Court.
JUDGE IRVING Ben Coop
er, who is hearing the case
without a jury and will make
the ruling that will be ap
pealed by the loser, kept the
trial on a pleasant level and
made an occasional joke.
Much of the testimony by
Flood and Miller simply put on
the record the details of how
the reserve clause operates.
BUT IT WAS revealed that
his chief counsel, Arthur Gold
berg, a former Supreme Court
justice who is now a candi
date for governor in New York,
is acting without a fee.
It also was revealed that the
Player Association is paying
the expenses of the trial.
WHEN GOLDBERG said the
association is picking up the
expenses but, so far we have
received no money." the at
torney for baseball—Mark
Hughes—replied, "I'm sorry to
hear that."
The audience, including
Commissioner Bowie Kuhn,
National League President
Chub Feeney and American
League President Joe Cronin,
laughed at the remark. The
trial was expected to last at
least two weeks.

HAMPTON, Va. Bill Mor
ton and David Williams, two
Hampton Institute tennis play
ers, will be the first athletes
in the Central Intercollegiate
Athletic Association (CIAA)
ever to see net action in the
Tennis Athletic Association.
Announcement of the tour by
the two HI athletes was made
by Coach Dr. Robert Screen
who also noted the tour is un
der the sponsorship of Mrs.
Gladys Heldman, editor and
publisher of "World Tennis"
magazine, and several other
persons.
MORTON AND Williams,
both CIAA champions will
leave June 17 for a three-day
stay in New York City with
Mrs. Heldman where they will
practice with some of the top
names in the East at the Town
Tennis Club in Manhattan.

is« an HI sophomore from
Cleveland, Ohio, and Williams
is a Hampton freshman from
Newport News, Va.

Jenesee Valley Invitational
(Aug. 22-23) in Pittsford, N.Y.
Commenting on Mrs. Held
man's offer to help Morton
and Williams, Dr. Screen noted
she offered to help Arthur Car
rington last year who was an
HI CIAA champion three years
straight.
"I wanted to get them, Mor
ton and Williams, some help
and so I wrote Mrs. Heldman,
not thinking she'd help, but
thinking she would let me
know who would," Screen said.
"THIS IS REALLY a great
chance for these two HI tennis
stars to gain national rank
ing," the Hampton coach said.
Aware of the fact that a dis
proportinate number of blacks
compete in big-time tennis as
compared to other sports, Mrs.
Heldman offered her assist
ance to Morton and Williams
in an "effort to promote the
sport among the minority
groups."
Hampton Institute stands
unique among black colleges
in its enthusiasm for tennis.
Reigning as conference
champs for 14 of the last 17
years (including this pas +
year), most of the players re
ceive some form of financial
aid.
DR. G. ROBERT Cotton, an
HI alumnus and the interim
president of the college, was
so impressed with tennis at
Hampton, that he announced
he and his wife will provide
a player with a full scholarship
6ach year.

Staggers, a running back from

MILWAUKEE, Wis.
Star defensive back Herb
Adderley is still so bitter
against the Green Bay Packer
coaching staff that ht would
quit pro football rather than
return. "They can trade me or
I can retire," Adderley said.
Adderley said he was suffi
ciently well fixed financially
and that he could afford to
retire.
"I'VE BEEN making a few
investments right along, and
there's a small movie part I
could have," he said.
He became angry last De
cember when, he claimed, the
coaching staff had not recom
mended him for the pro bowl
squad.
HE ALSO ACCUSED As

of being too critical of the
players under his domain. Ad
derley took his complaints to
the press, whcih failed to en
dear him with Head Coach and

"The last thing I said to Phil
