This was a most polite way to say it. Another diagnosis I read said “acute schizophrenia. Machen fought attendants and was on a maximum securitybasis. There were times when he merely cowered in a corner.Eventually a psychiatrist recommended, as Eddie responded to therapy, that he return to boxing, which he was eager to do. I do not know the details of the therapy, but I know that Machen made miraculous improvement about the time that Minskoff, who always had a crazy notion that he would likeMary Duncan-MaryJolntferDodie Emery.Betty Lassen-Vi Miller.

They both fought defensively. There has been more combat action in the cold war. It’s possible that the matchmaker should have beenarrested.Yanks TakeMinnesotaCus D’Amato, who was calling the shots for Patterson inthose days (although Floyd has unloaded him in the last couple of years in favor of trainer Dan Florio), didn’t want his fighteron a 10-acre lot, much less in a 20-foot ring, with Eddie Machen.He used to say Eddie lacked experience. At other times, D’Amato said Machen was too dull, too defensive, and the fight wouldn’t draw beans.timeNEW YORK (AP) — Micki Mantle walloped a three-n homer deep into the third delt; of the right field stands, boos ing the New York Yankees to 7-5 victory over the Minneso Twins in the first game of St urday's double-header.First Game Minnesota 100 110 020-5 8 New York 202 000 03x-7 12heavyweighttions.

He still has excellent offensive tools, but his head and jaw are not built for extensivepunishment.I rather like Machen in Sunday’s rumpus, boxing’s angry man.Most of the trouble he’s had in boxing, which is plenty, came directly as the result of the fact that D’Amato wouldn't (perhaps wisely) allow Floyd to go anywhere near Machen when Eddie was the No. 1 and most deserving contender in the world.game losing streak.Thirteen Sox went to against lower Ken McBrilt; now 2-11—and reliever Don in the assault which also Inc ed five singles, three walks an error.Right-hander Earl Wi coasted to his ninth triuHe should beagainst three defeats.Los Angeles 000 101 030--E Boston 900 001 30x-13McBride, D.
