1 1 1 1 1 Inside StraightA Woid for Floyd STEINDLER By RICH ROBERTS "I know Clay, I've watched him. He's been in my gymnasium here for three fights. I listened to his poems. Then I met him the other day at Las Vegas called him "He said, 'I wish you'd call me Muhammad, Howie-Muhammad Ali's the Certainly, this is his prerogative, if he chooses to adopt this particular way of life. So if it's Muhammad Ali, then I think Muhammad Ali is going to lose this one." When Howie Steindler talks, you're listening to 40 years of boxing as trainer, manager, matchmaker.

onetime amateur fighter and proprietor of L.A.'s Main Street Gym. In other words, Howie doesn't know what, he's talking about. How could he? He picks Floyd Patterson to beat Cassius Clay at Las Vegas Monday night. Nevertheless, considering that it's easy to find somebody willing to support a 3-1 favorite, it might be worth idle curiosity to listen to somebody else willing to back a man who hasn't lasted the first round in his last two title fights. and backs up his opinions with scientific logic.

Well, sort of. AS STEINDLER TALKS, he is interrupted first by the plumbers, who have come to fix the leak created by the rain, then by a young college-type with horn-rimmed glasses inquiring if he could show his foreign friend around the premises. "What is this." Howie deadpanned, "we in the new tourist "No, I don't think so," the youngster replies seriously: "It's okay, kid," Howie smiles, "go on and look around all you like" then, to his visitor, "I guess that's what we area curiosity. "I don't know why I got into this business or why I stay in it. Nobody does.

This here gym's a losing proposition. I can name got sir One hand the guys that are making any money out of boxing." BUT HOWIE, PRESIDENT of the Southern California Boxing Managers and Coaches Association and matchmaker for Santa Monica and Las Vegas promoters, could make a lot of money if his theories on Monday's fight are correct. "I thought Sonny Liston was a broken-down old man against Clay. I was of the opinion that in that short couple of minutes he tried and saw that it was gonna be a hopeless task and, uh- -well, he might have got hit, there's no tellin'. "Of course, Liston put Patterson out.

Patterson, we know, is a notorious soft -what we call a glass jaw. But, I think that the styles in this fight are gonna make a lot of difference. "I think that the habit-1 call it a habit because I've seen Clay do it in every fight -of pulling back this is one of the biggest crimes in boxing, 'cause you will be hit by a punch. "It's elementary, whether you call it mathematics or not, if you draw a looping circle, or a half-circle, and you put a straight line inside that circle, and you pull the end of that line back and start that half-circle line moving at the same time, that half-circle will meet the end as it pulls back. "But if that straight line continues inside this arc, it will avoid the end you move inside." BUT CLAY DOESN'T move inside, Steindler points out.

Instead, he tends to step back away from a punch--a style -made for Patterson's kangaroo left. "If Clay pulls back he will pull into a direct line with this leaping and looping left hook that Patterson throws--and it's a hard one," Howie says, "and this is why I give Patterson a shot. "Cassius Clay is not a bobbing, weaving type of fighter. Now Liston stepped inside of this punch Patterson threw and nailed him with that straight right which Clay doesn't use. "Clay is an intelligent fella, despite what the and he has very fine handlers.

They will army says, plan a battle against the particular type of fighter Patterson is. We know he's an offensive fighter-I don't mean that kind of offensive, I mean he fights the offense! He's been offensive in spots, it's on true. I think that somewhere along the route, if the fight goes over three or four rounds, Clay will revert to type--and type, in my estimation, for is to pull back. I'm gonna go along with PatClay terson, say along the sixth or seventh round. If Clay is going to win it I'll give him the first three to do STEINDLER'S ONLY reservation is Patterson's glass jaw.

"Nobody can discount his heart, his courage, but he has this failing that he doesn't take it very good. With a rugged fellow the neck and shoulders absorb the shock. But when you hit this man with the smaller neck on the chin, maybe it just gives that little turn, pinches on the nerve from the spine, and out you go. "But I like Patterson for this fight. I like him very much." Virginia Stops Maryland's Bid COLLEGE PARK, Md.
