Clay remains free on bond while his draft evasion conviction is appealed, and he cannot leave the country without court approval. Lower courts previously refused requests to box in Japan and Toronto.

Super Star Pay Jumps 129 Per Cent
New York statistician John Clark testified before Federal Judge Irving Ben Cooper that baseball salaries have risen sharply over five years. He said 209 players with five-year major league tenure saw increases up to 129 percent, nine in 1965 earned over $50,000, and 56 now earn between $50,000 and $120,000. He warned that changing the reserve system or adopting free agency would let rich teams cherry pick top talent.
