D'Amato turned Patterson into a road show, which now is more than ever out of focus. D'Amato overnight digs up promoters nobody ever heard of. So, after signing with Bill Rosensohn for Patterson to defend against Ingemar Johansson in New York, June 25, a really attractive match, D'Amato on Mar. 18 suddenly announced that his tiger would warm up in a match with Brian London at Las Vegas, Apr. 21. The promoter was to be Cecil Rhodes, billed as a young steel executive out of Bayonne, N. J. Rhodes admitted that this was his first venture in the beak busing business. Contacted in Las Vegas, Beldon Katleman, proprietor of El Rancho Vegas, speaking for the hotelmen and Convention Bureau, said all he knew about .the fight was what Joe E. Lewis, the entertainer, told him on the telephone. When Rhodes finally contacted Katleman, the date was moved back to May 1 to coincide with the television : Li von (Q i U 1 DO 0 Both Score Victories Boston Celtics Grab Pro Cage Champfdt?hip , In Openers By HARRY GRAYSON . 15-rou- nd - 118-113- ,! , ; ' .j... in the beating Baltimore, American League opener at Washington Thursday while the Reds got off winging with a 1 victory Over Pittsburgh in the National League inaugural at Cincinnati.

THE PRESENT MIXUP dates back to last December, when Jack Solomon's, IBC ally, matched London to box Henry Cooper in London, Jan. 12. D'Amato had ' Harry Levene, his private overseas promoter, guarantee the winner $70,000; for taking a crack at Patterson's crown in this country.
