But Folley fought the best in tbe business in his time, sometimes more than once, and the champion always ducked 1 him. still remember that Liston fight (Sonny knocked him out in three rounds in Denver In 1962).

I stung him real good early and I thought I could punch with him. He's the strong-" est puncher I ever faced. "He wasn't the same fighter who faced Clay in Miami. Then he was a young hungry fighter and I was the number one contender. He had the title quite a while when Clay fought him and he didn't train the way he used to.

"I had to fight them all then. I couldn't get a title fight. There was nothing left to do. When I first fought Eddie Machen (1958, a 12-round draw in San Francisco) I thought I would get my chance. (Most ringsiders thought Folley was a decisive winner.) "But we ended up fighting again (1960) when we were both ranked number one in Ring Magazine, the only time that's ever happened." 200 6-4' 43' i 45 "7 lVz 133i 34i 23si 17 14 AV3 80 15 12'i 34 25 17 13 I AT I I RCCT without a manager or trainer, and ride all over the country to fight and end up getting cheated when time came to count the money, he isn't bitter toward his profession.

"How can I be? It's helped me get a nice home for my wife and to see that my kids get a proper education." When Bill Swift stepped in and bought his contract, he also took Zora into his trucking business. Zora laughed as he recalled one of the first times he drove a cattle truck for Swift. "We were just outside Wickenburg," he chuckled, "and Bill was in the truck with me asleep. I began shifting gears and the first thing I knew I looked in the mirror and saw all this beef on the highway. "I yelled at Bill, he put on his boots, and we got out and rounded up all we could.

We lost about 18 head, but we hired some cowboys to round them up and keep them for us. "Bill has been more than just a manager for me," he sighed. "He always looks after me, and worries about me. Sometimes, too much." The day before, Swift, who is a descendant of the Swift Packing Swifts, recalled how in the early years because of bad investments he was broke. "I needed a job and nobody would believe me.

There were times when all I had to support my family was money from Zora's fights." This, unquestionably, will be the biggest payday for either. A crowd of 16,000 is expected at Madison Square Garden with a live gate of between $300,000 and $400,000. With tickets scaled from $50 (highest ever at the Garden) to $8, Folley is guaranteed 15 per cent of the live gate plus $25,000 ancillary rights the champion 50 per cent and $150,000. The fight will be shown across most of the nation on home For starting time CALL 948-6000 Scettsdale Resort Country Club 7702 E. Shea Blvd.

Scottsdale Official weights to be announced today. Folley claims he does not think about Clay. "I watch TV and read to keep the fight out of my mind. I don't even read the sports pages. Junior was reading one yesterday but I read only the other parts.

"Clay thinks the pressure tomorrow night will bother me, huh? I've fought all over the world before large crowds and I've fought here before. Wait till we get in the ring and we'll see if the crowd bothers me." Is he ever sorry he got in the fight racket? "No well, sometimes, like when I knew I should get a chance at the title and didn't but not really. "If my kids wanted to be boxers? Well, I wouldn't tell them no. But I'd watch them close, to see how good they were and make sure they weren't doing it just because I did. "Junior, now, he prefers baseball.

He's real good. No, that doesn't hurt me at all. I love baseball too. In fact, I used to play semipro with the Chandler Red Sox. We went one time to Nogales to get our uniforms made.

"My younger son, now he might make a fighter. But that's for him to decide. "I went into the Army at 16 because I seemed to have no future in Chandler. My folks couldn't afford to send me to school in Phoenix. Why? Well, the school in Chandler wasn't integrated then and all the Negro kids went to Carver In Phoenix.

"I began fighting because in basic training the sergeant said anyone wanted to fight tonight would get a pass. I put up my hand. I lost the fight, but I got that pass." He makes light of the frozen feet he received in Korea. "When they evacuated us, there were five or six like me. My feet peeled a few times, but they were all right." His wife, Joella, has never wanted him to get out of prize fighting, he claims.

Folley expects to tip 200 pounds at this morning's 9:30 a.m. (Phoenix time) official weigh-in. Clay says he will come in at 206. Jimmy Ellis, Clay's sparring mate, will meet Johnny Per-sol in the semimain, which will be taped and reshown if the title fight Is brief. Folley, after early 7-1 odds, will probably go in at about 5-1, although few bookies will accept action.

Clay was 10-1 when he won the title from Liston in 1964. It is his ninth defense and seventh in the last 12 months. Much of the publicity concerning the fight has revolved around Clay's draft status. He is scheduled to be inducted April 11 but confidently predicts lawyers will delay it. Asked if the odds or pro-Clay stories bothered him, Folley replied: "He's champ, ain't he? He should be favored and he should get the publicity." Arizona scored its first run in the fourth when Eddie Leon reached base on an error, Marty Hall was safe on another boot, Roger Brautigan was walked and Jerry Stitt hit into a double play, scoring Leon.

A year ago the Indians started by winning 10 straight. Looked like they were never going to stop."
