The bill, a committee substitute passed Monday, 36-8, now goes to the House for consideration. It would establish a 10-member State Athletics Commission with power to license and regulate all professional sporting events "which can reasonably be expected to have gross receipts of more than 310,000." Leading the opposition was Sen. Leroy Johnson of Atlanta, who was responsible for the return of the controversial Ali to professional boxing last year in Atlanta.

"This bill is in effect the anti- Muhammad Ali bill," Johnson said. "It is designed to see that Muhammad Ali does not fight again in this state." A provision Johnson objected to would -empower the commission to deny licens- es to any professional athletic event "on facts that would tend to support the belief that the health, welfare, morals or safety of the citizens of Georgia" would be harmed. Johnson said the provision was aimed at Ali, who was stripped of his heavyweight crown three years ago after refusing to accept induction into the Army. The U.S. Supreme Court recently agreed to review the case.

Fox said the battle for the three infield -positions will be a scramble. "Anybody ihas a 100 per cent chance of playing second, third and shortstop," he said. The candidates include veterans Hal Lanier, Jim Ray Hart and Tito Fuentes and youngsters such as Alan Gallagher, Chris Arnold, Bobby Heise, Steve Humtz and Chris Speier. "The big thing last year is that of the 170 errors we made, about 130 of them were infield," Fox said. "So this spring have a -refresher course in fundamentals -the cutoff, throwing and position 4o make more double plays and protect our pitching." Fox said that Hart and Gallagher will battle for the third i base post, but that Fuentes and Lanier will have to beat out- some young talent to retain their positions.
