LONDON British champion Henry Cooper blew a world heavyweight title fight withFloyu Patterson for June 5, when he was knocked out in the second round by. Zora Folley last night. Promoter Jack Solomons said today he had closed the deal with the Patterson group in New York recently. The knockout, of course, ended the agreement. Solomons said he Had told Cooper's manager, Jim "Wicks: and the latteTWWr Cooper.

"Perhaps the responsibility of what lay 'ahead was too much for Cooper against Fol ley," said Solomons. I am partly to blame for telling his manager who certainly is to blame for telling Cooper." Wicks agreed perhaps it would have been better if he had not told his fighter about the world title bout plans. Folley, of Chandler, aimed for a shot at Patterson and safd he would' be happy to fight Sonny Liston in a final qualifier if necessary. Uston, 1 heavy contender from Philadelphia, knocked out Folley in three rounds in their only meeting on July 16, 1960.

The Chargers were not named. Two are described as "players of top proven ability who have performed as' regulars all year for the once- beaten San Diego team." Alworth was listed as the Raiders' No, 2 draft choice and was picked No. 1 by the. San Francisco 49ers in the National Footbail League draft.

Raiders general manager Wes Fry explained that the deaT was consumated even be-fore the AFL draft session in Dallas last Saturday. "Actually," Fry said, "AH we traded was our No. 2 draft choice, and- the Chargers specified that we choose Alworth." Fry would not comment on the names of the Chargers players coming to the Raiders.
