AM, Frazier receive offer from Garden NEW YORK (AP) — If the fight ers rise to the $4.5-million bait, there will be a third go-around be tween Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier in Madison Square Garden on Sept. 16. The plans call for Ali, the heavyweight titleholder, to receive $3 million and Frazier, the former champion, to get $1.5 million. The fight would be on closed-circuit television with the Garden possibly the sole promoter. The Garden announced Tuesday that a proposal for the “rubber” match had been formally made to the respective managers of the two men and that the first reaction had been favorable. “I would rather fight in Madison Square Garden than any other place in the world,” said Muhammad Ali in Miami Beach, where he is train ing for his May 16 defense against Ron Lyle in Las Vegas. “It sounds good. I hope Clay takes the offer, ” Frazier was quoted as telling the Garden from Min neapolis where he is preparing his protege, Duane Bobick, for a bout against Raul Gorosito Wednesday night. Ali’s manager, Herbert Muham mad, was not available for com ment. Both Frazier’s manager, Eddie Futch, and attorney, Bruce Wright, were reserved in their early responses. Futch, acknowledging that he was considering the offer, said he felt that the 2-1 purse dis tribution favoring Ali was unfair in view of the fact that the first two fights were split. “But we will negotiate with the Garden about that,” he said. Futch said the date was accepta ble. Ali and Frazier have had two great fights in the Garden, both going the full distance and close enough to leave the loser on each occasion claiming he was the victor. On March 8, 1971, Frazier, then the champion, won a brawling, 15-round decision, and belted the challenger to the canvas in the last round. Each received $2.5 million. The title was in another’s hands-George Foreman-when the two met a second time in a 12-rounder. It was another slam- bang fight, won by Ali on a unanim ous decision. Frazier insisted he wasn’t beaten. Each fighter re ceived close to $3 million. Astros fall to Padres in close tilt HOUSTON (AP) — Willie McCovey led off a two-run second inning with a home run and Tito Fuentes capped it with a single that gave the surging San Diego Padres a 2-1 victory over the Houston Astros Tuesday night. McCovey sent his first homer of the season on a line over the right field fence off Tom Griffin, 0-3. Dave Winfield followed with a walk and successive singles by Dick Sha ron and Fuentes produced the run that gave the Padres their eighth victory in the last 11 games. It also sent tbe reeling Astros to their ninth loss in the last 10 games. Houston scored its lone run off Dan Spillner, 2-1, on Roger Metzger’s double, Tom Griffin’s bunt and Rob Andrews’ sacrifice fly in the third. Spillner finished with a five-hitter.

Chaney, a former University of Houston star, led the Celtics on a scoring binge with 12 second quar ter points that put Boston ahead 62-51 at halftime. In addition to his eight points in the first quarter, Wqstphal added five assists, two baskets and one steal in eight minutes of the second quarter. Boston center Dave Cowens led a scoring free-for-all in the fourth quarter that thwarted a Houston rally. Cowens finished with 29 points to tie Chaney for Boston’s high.
