Or, the Lewiston Affair revisited. These are but excerpts and selected letters on the subject of you-know-what. No comment is really necessary on any, except that most everybody is right. "Dear Tom: "I can't blame Clay or Liston for whatever they did on their last so-called fight. I blame the gullible public for supporting boxing as it is today.

As long as fans pay and pay to see these palookas fight, you'll have them. No gate and there'll be no fights. I also feel that any person should be champion regardless of color if he is capable, but I'll never understand why so many whites and Negroes alike support a man such as Clay who makes no bones about his beliefs. Everyone should know what the ultimate goal of the Mohammedans is."

CLARK finished more than two laps in front of second place Parnelli Jones of Tor-rence, and third place rookie Mario Andretti of Nazareth, Pennsylvania.

This is the first time an American driver has not won the race since 1916 and also marks the first time that a rear-cngine car has won the race. The first three cars were rear engine Fords and the winning car a Colin Chapman-built Lotus powered by Ford. All three beat the track record for the 500 miles set last year by A. J. Foyt, Houston, at 147.350 m.p.h.

Behind this trio came Al Miller of Roseville, in a rear engine Ford; Gordon Johncock, Hasting, in an old-fashioned Offenhauser roadster, and Mickey Rupp of Mansfield, Ohio, in a rear engine Offy. IN SPITE of the uncertainty before the race over the 11 rookies in the field, the caution flag was out only a total of 13 minutes and the most serious incidents were harmless spins onto the infield grass. Part of Clark's big lead at the finish could be credited to some quick work by a NASCAR pit crew, the Wood brothers, who work in the pits of stock car driver Bobby Johns of Miami. Johns was a teammate of Clark and both used the same crew for refueling. Consequently, Clark was in and out of the pits in 19.8 seconds for his first pit stop and 24.7 for the second.

Sitting in the pace car, which was a part of his prize as the winner, Clark said the race went just as planned and he made his pit stops just as scheduled. He passed up the advantage of a caution flag for his second stop and went in under the green on lap 135. His first stop was on lap 65. EXCEPT for 10 laps led by Foyt, Clark takes home the rest of the lap money, giving him $28,500 in addition to his purse. The purse will be announced at the victory dinner, scheduled tonight.

Those 10 laps led by Foyt were immediately after Clark's first pit stop and the Scotsman took the lead back when Foyt went in for fuel 10 laps later. At one point, Clark had a full lap lead on Foyt and when the latter went out with a blown engine on lap 115, Clark had two full laps on second place Jones. After that the two leaders stayed in position the rest of the (Continued on Page 2, Col. 1) 2,267 See Indy Race On TV A total of 2,267 paid a gross $10,069.50 to watch the Indianapolis 500-mile race on closed circuit television yesterday at Curtis Hixon Convention Center, promoter Al Garcia announced. The picture quality was good and the viewers probably saw a great deal more of the race than did the who saw it live at the Speedway.

It was a quiet crowd because there was only one accident and winner Jimmy Clark led most of the way. But the fans rooted for the pit crews who worked speedily to get the cars back onto the track. Concessions sold out of sandwiches. Some fans brought their own, plus drinks. Garcia said it was his most successful closed circuit promotion from an attendance standpoint except for the Floyd Patterson-Ingemar Johansson heavyweight title fight which drew nearly 5,000 at Lopez Field.

Garcia also promoted the closed TV of last week's controversial Clay-Liston fight which lasted only 1:47 minutes.

According to Tom McEwen, it is the only sport that is corrupt and we know money is being made shaving and game-fixing college games. I'm sick at my stomach the way boxing is run down, especially by McEwen, who only criticizes the sport and looks for the worst of it really agitated me was the contest between Hurricane Carter and Dick Tiger, two of the best.

I was anxious to read of it, but not a single line in the so-called sports section I admit the heavyweight picture stinks to high heaven but other divisions should not take the blame for the Clay and Liston act. Everything from golf to pingpong gets a full page coverage with pictures but a major sporting event rates nothing and they talk about communistic tactics." R. C. Weitershausen Jr. Tampa Shy Scot Urged To Kiss INDIANAPOLIS UP) Jimmy Clark, the gentleman farmer from Duns, Scotland, reaped racing's richest prize at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Monday.

The curly-haired Scot, still reclining in his Lotus-Ford in Victory Lane after winning the annual 500-mile classic, attributed his record win to "a bit of determination." CLARK, a 29-year-old bachelor, gulped from a bottle of milk as his triumphant crew swarmed around him. He flashed a grimy smile as he stood up to face the battery of photographers. The attractive wife of car owner Colin Chapman hugged the flower-bedecked winner. Blonde Suzanne Devine, 500 Festival Queen, stepped beside the still-hot car to present Clark the traditional victory kiss. Instead, the shy Scotsman shook her hand.

Wills, who had three other singles, snapped a 3-3 tie by driving in Jirri Lefebvre after the Dodgers loaded the bases against previously unbeaten Jim Maloney on Lefebvre's sin gle, and walks to relief pitcher Ron Perranoski and Jim Gil liam. THE LOSS gave Maloney a 5-1 record.

Willis helped the Dodgers tie the game in the fifth. He beat out an infield single and stole second for his 28th theft of the year. After Wes Parker walked. they worked a double steal, and Wills came home on Ron Fair-! ly's single off pitcher Jim Ma- loney's glove. The Reds scored three un earned runs, two on Pete Rose's single, in the second inning fol lowing a two-out error by third baseman Dick Tracewski.

W.Va. The start of the 18-race Memorial Day card at the Waterford Park race track got under way an hour late Monday because of a dispute ih jockey valets. Track officials said the valets refused to work in an effort to get a guaranteed wage from the track instead of being paid by the jockeys. The valets agreed to work after an agreement was made to negotiate their demands Tuesday.

"For example, the present day sports writers have taken the hide off a couple of bums named Clay and Liston and I thoroughly enjoyed what the boys said following that stinkeroo up in Lewis-ton. Had I been jockeying a typewriter, it is likely that I wouldn't be through hollering yet.

It was a classic fiasco, the poorest example of a championship fight ever palmed off on a gullible public. They Finished Twin, Orioles Share Victories 5. Gordon Johncock. Hastings. Weinberger Offenhauser roadster.

STAKED to a 4-1 lead in the second inning on a pair of two-run homers by Bob Johnson and Dick Brown, Palmer had allow ed only two hits and an unearned first inning run. But with one out in the fifth.

Wilbur Kinley Tampa Friend Wilbur was a longtime sports editor of the Tampa Times, as candid a journalist as Tampa has yet produced. In the aftermath of the disgraceful sellout of the suckers who paid good money to witness, in person or on closed circuit TV, the Clay-Liston comedy, have you stopped to consider your own responsibility? have you counted up the free plug publicity you have given this fraud, even listing on your first sports page the method of buying tickets for the showing.

Tom, in all friendliness, go back over the past six months of your coverage of commercial fights and add up the columns you have voluntarily given away to the fraudulent, rigged, crooked swindle known as boxing. if you have the best interests of your readers at heart, start now to warn of the next baited sucker-trap, the Clay-Patterson hoax. Your friends and your circulation have a right to ask this." HWR Clearwater "Just a few lines to let you know of one fight fan that was pleased and surprised, pleased with the fight. I can only say that I saw a fine display of boxing and a real honest KO and surprised with all the comments of the press about the match.
