The plan, outlined Monday at the opening of a four-day organ National meeting, calls for the disposal, by trade or otherwise of such older regulars as pitchers Alvin Jackson, Jack Fisher and Galen Cisco; catcher Chris, Cannizzarro, infielders Chuck Hiller and Bobby Klaus and outfielders Joe Christopher and Jim Hickman. Such veterans as Hoy McMillan and Charlie Smith, along with outfielder Johnny Lewis, may be retained.

"We're prefectly agreeable to give serious consideration to such proposals. We believe we now have developed, a number of outstanding young prospects can make a place for themselves on the big club."

It is now known as the Ready Reserve Unit," Coach Harland Svare revealed Monday at a meeting of football writers.

NEW YORK (AP) A title fight between heavyweight champion Cassius Clay and former champion Floyd Patterson for Las Vegas Nov. 22 probably will be announced here at a press conference Tuesday afternoon.

"Ciay will be there along with some members of the Louisville group, Jim Deskin of Las Vegas, the newly-elected president of the World Boxing Association and other principals," said Conrad. Conrad said the opponent for Clay, the site and the date will be announced.

The opponent Patterson, and the site, Las Vegas, have been open secrets.

So he decided to play anyway from New York, sending his moves via a telephone-teletype hookup from the Marshall Chess Club in New York to the grand ballroom of the plush Havana Libre Hotel. Cuban officials and Prime Minister Fidel Castro were delighted to have Fischer in the 30-day tournament which has drawn some of the best players in the world. Fischer, however, warned that he would withdraw from Castro and the the political capital tournament if Cubans made of his participation. The story was headlined here and the phantom player has become the key figure in the tour- nnmcnt. His match with Ivkov was broadcast move-by-move over Havana round match radio.
