FD-350 (4-3-62) (Mount Clipping in Space Below) ‘4 “4 4 - 3 3 : & 3 @ i 3 ‘| HERDS | ' 4 o. od Shoulder ‘Iniury By tu TUCKER 4 Reporter of The Miami News \ State Attorney Richard Gerstein ordered sy a domplete report on the medical examination ‘of Sonny Liston whose torn shoulder tendon lost him the heavyweight crown to Cassius Clay. Gerstein said the sudden end of the fight with Liston unable to come out for the seventh round ‘Jeft me wondering whether what I had seen hap- pen actually did happen.” No complaints or evidence or a “funny” fight have been received by his office, Gerstein said, but he wants to study the medical reports on Liston “to see if there is a basis for going any further.” . Jabbing, jabbering Clay was declared the win- ner on a technical knockout after six rounds. The Miami Beach Boxing Commission held up Liston’s $367,000 purse until a team of doctors confirmed that his shoulder injury was sufficiently bad to make him unable to continue the bout. Gerstein said he wanted the examination report and X-rays studied by “doctors of our own choosing” — including Dr. Joe Davis, Dade County medical examiner, and Dr. Franklin J. Evans, medical-legal adviser to the State Attorney’s office. Wires from all over the country flooded the Boxing Com- mission today denouncing the fight as a “disgrace” and “an insult to boxing.” spite the agreement of eight doctors as to Liston’s con- ditioh, the Commission said it also wanted to have Liston ined by its own physician. The Commission was-te-have a special meeting later today.
