By FRANK ECK AP Newsfeatures Sports Editor

“BUSTER MATHIS — 300LBS, Next Heavyweight Champ.” That’s how Manager A1 Bachman had the business cards printed. Buster says he’s 285 pounds.

Only in the weight disparity do Mathis and Bachman disagree. So what’s a few pounds when you weigh that much. Anyhow, manager and boxer agree on everything else because both say he will become the heavyweight boxing champion when it’s his turn to get Cassius Clay, the loud one turned suddenly silent into the ring.

A lot of other people say Bust­er (“that’s my Godgiven name”) can’t miss. One of them is Cus D’Amato who led Floyd Patter­son to the heavyweight crown.

“I’d like to have a piece of this fellow,” said D’Amato point­ing to Mathis when the brute of a man (he’s 6 feet 3%) was unveiled at New York’s swank 21, a place once reserved by the Yankees when they hired Casey Stengel, and by Garden State Park racetrack when they announced their annual $250,000 fall feature.

“If Mathis doesn’t win the world’s title,” added D’Amato, “it won’t be his fault. It will be the fault of his backers.”

Backing the man who beat U. S. Olympic champion Joe Frazier are Wolfe Charney, Ken­neth C. Elias, Peter N. Grad, James Iselin, Michael Martin and Dr. Richard C. Robertiello, a psychiatrist.

They are a well fixed group.

Among them are a lawyer, a drug company executive, a real estate executive, a textile man whose father (Phil Iselin) owns part of Monmouth Park racetrack, and a lad whose father (Townsend B. Martin) owns racehorses and part of the New York Jets football team.

When anyone talks about Mathis, Manager A1 Bachman has a cat swallowed canary grin just like his late father, Frank had when he was booking Slapsie Maxie Rosenbloom all over the country every week.

But Mathis isn’t going to fight every week. His backers don’t need the money that badly. They all have other good investments. They pay him $100 a week, plus his share of the purses.

Mathis won the National AAU

title and would have won fc Olympic crown in Tokyo excej that he fractured a knuckle beat ing Philadelphia’s Joe Frail- in the Olympic trials. Busts missed the Olympics and Frazitt also a pro now, won the titli

He makes his American defc Sept. 24 in Grand Rapids, MicL where he lives and has paiita billboards and “house for sat' signs since age 10.

“I’ll give you a lot of enter­tainment when I fight. And It be the world’s heavywei|j champion.”

When would that be?

“Tomorrow,” says giant Bust? Mathis, “if I can get Clay inti

the ring. I don’t believe in wli he stands for. I’m not a Muslim, I’m a Baptist.”
