In the fourth, Phillip slammed the ball down the first base line. Smith called it fair. There was a brief discussion, the honor system was invoked and all agreed the ball was foul. Phillips went back to bat and singled to center. Finigan fumbled a ground ball in the fourth but recovered in time for the out at first base, but he missed the double play and this made it possible for Beard to single to left and bring in a pair of tallies.

OIlic Brantley gave up the four runs in the eighth which provided the Orioles' margin. Hale's smash through the box struck umpire Al Smith and went for a single.

Smiib and Adair l-MI IMiiW urn Ailing Bosox Slugger May Miss Opener Tucson, Ariz. (AP) Red Sox slugger Ted Williams will fly to Boston today for an appointment tomorrow at Lahey Clinic and may miss the opening of the baseball season in New York April 10. The decision to send the 40-ycar-old veteran home for further examination followed X-rays of his ailing neck and shoulder in Phoenix by Dr. Alvin Swcnson. ALTHOUGH the X-rays were negative, Dr.

Swenson said Ted definitely is suffering from an "irritation of the cervical neck." He recommended placing Williams in a cervical traction collar. The purpose of the collar is to immobilize the neck completely to give relief and speed the healing process. According to Red Sox Trainer Jack Faddcn this would keep Williams idle from 10 days to two weeks. "From my experience with similar treatment for football injuries of the same nature," said FMfldcn, "this treatment takes from 10 days to two weeks. "I don't know whether the Lahey Clinic will concur with Dr.

Swenson's suggestion, but I believe they will." Gotcborp, Sweden (AP) Floyd Patterson will defend his world heavyweight boxing title against lngemar Johansson of Sweden in New York 'on Thursday, June 25, promoter Bill Rosensohn said yesterday. He made the announcement shortly after his arrival from New York. The decision was reached following a conference with Ldwin Ahlquist, Johansson's advisor. Previous ly, Tuesday, June 23, had been the suggested date. Rosensohn did not specify the exact site of the bout except to say that it would be in New York.

Yankee Stadium, home of the New York American League baseball club, is available from June 21 until July 3. He also, has an option on the Polo Grounds, one time home of the New York base ball Giants. JOHANSSON', current European heavyweight champion, plans to come to the United States in mid-April for his final training sessions. He has not yet picked his camp. Rosensohn said Patterson first would defend his title against Brian London, former British Empire champ, in Las Vegas, probably on May 1 and rated the match "an ideal tuneup for Patterson's bigger hout." The young U.S.

promoter said that 7,000 persons would see the Patterson-London fight and "that 4,000 Swedish fans are coming to New York for the Johansson bout." "FROM AN economic point of view," Rosensohn said, "I don't see why they arranged the London-Patterson bout. After Cus D'Amato (Patterson's manager) pays London his $75,000 guarantee there isn't going to be much left for Patterson. But otherwise it is an ideal tuneup." In Blackpool, England, where he is in training, London said he would leave for the Nevada city next week even though all the details of the bout still had not been ironed out. Rosensohn said he would return to New York tomorrow. iV.
