Ali plans to quit boxing after one more title fight
Muhammad Ali says he will retire from boxing if given one more chance against Joe Frazier and may be unable to represent Muslims until he quits sports. He outlined four remaining fights before freeing himself to focus on other goals, with Ellis in Houston and Frazier as final targets, while Supreme Court action on his draft evasion case could alter plans. Eleven Chinese American high school players were selected for a Formosa tour in July, with Percy Chu named coach.

Long road ahead for the Fair Hawk
Ken Harrelson who left baseball for golf faces a long path to the pro tour. He plans to study with Bob Toski in Saratoga Wyoming and must go through PGA qualifying steps including admission, fees, and a 72 hole test, with final school work for an approved card. Sammy Ellis failed similarly last year. The process follows PGA rules under Commissioner Joe Dey. A postponed Bend-Tri City game due to food poisoning affects Northwest League play.
