The champion Floyd Patterson, is chasing the challenger, is.s. a Boardman, Butler Bout Off Due To An Injury PROVIDENCE, R. (9 A broken jaw has knocked Boston's Gene Butler out of a main bout with Larry Boardman. The two were to have met here next Monday night but the 10-rounder was postponed indefinitely Monday.

"Butler suffered the jaw injury while training with Tony DeMarco in Boston Saturday. Shantz Deal Proving OK For Yankees now Archie McBride has come1 challenger and Willie Pastrano Tiger Pilot Worried Over Lary's Failure One-Year Wonder Or Late Starter? Senators Hand Him Fifth Defeat-By Joo Reichler Associated Press Sports Writer Manager Jack Tighe of the Detroit Tigers was wrestling with a discomforting thought today. Is righthander Frank Lary simply a late starter or was he a one-year wonder? Tighe, of course, hopes its the former aad there's plenty of evidence to support his hope. In Lary's first full season with the Tigers, in 1955, he was able to win only two of his first six decisions but wound up with a 14-15 record with a fifth place club. Tommy (Hurricane) Jackson, and out of nowhere to challenge the for good measure.

Archie, a- 28-year-old refrigerator machinist when he's not fighting, leaped into the limelight by decisively defeating Germany's Willi Besmanoff at St. Nicholas Arena Monday night. McBride, of Trenton, N. hadn't won since May 11, 1955 when he outpointed Bob Satter-field. Since then he's had only three fights with Patterson, Jimmy Slade and unbeaten Alex Miteff of Argentina and lost them all.

Win Streak Ended Besmanoff had a winning streak of 13 snapped. The pudgy, 24-year old German was ranked ninth among the heavyweight contend ers. Willi said he had a cold and that made him weak and tired. He looked that and sluggish, in losing the unanimous decision. A decided underdog, McBride earned an 8-1-1 vote from referee Mark Conn.

Judge Mike Davido-witch had it 8,2 while Judge Nick Gamboli made it closer, 5-4-1. The AP card had McBride ahead, 7-2-1. Garver and Virgil Trucks for eight They roke a scoreless deadlock in the sixth when Bob 7 jiT nnrz, urn Palladium-Item Photo Pitcher Tom Acker of Cincinnati, right, discusses a newspaper account of his double victory for the Redlegs Sunday with Bob Pottenger of Richmond during a visit here Monday. Acker, pitching in relief, was credited with both wins over Pittsburgh. Judge Must Decide Penalties Acker, when asked if he thought he would get a starting assignment on the strength of his recent showings, said he had no idea.

He said Manager Birdie Tebbetts hasn't discussed it with him. He praised Tebbetts for a piece of managerial strategy in the ninth inning of the second game which pulled Acker out of a jam. Tebbetts sent Ed Bailey in to catch with a 3-2 count on a batter and a Pirate runner on first base. The purpose was to take advantage of Bailey's throwing arm if-the runner went for second on the next pitch. He did, the batter fanned and Bailey threw the runner out at second for a double play.

"Tebbetts had Bailey ready and waiting with his equipment on Just in case that situation came up," Acker said, "and was glad." Last year the strapping 5-11 Alabaman won only two of his first seven decisions and as late as July 1 his record was a lacklustre 4-10. But he came on strong to win 17 of his last 20 starts, to finish as the American League's biggest winner with a 21-13 record. The Tigers expected even bigger things from Lary this year. Instead, when Washington defeated Detroit 2-1 Monday night, it not only reduced the Tigers fourth place margin over Boston to a half game but was Lary's fifth defeat against two triumphs the identical record he had at this date a year ago. Orioles Beat A's In the only other game played in the American League, Baltimore downed Kansas City 2-0 behind the two-hit pitching of Connie Johnson to climb within percentage points of the sixth place Athletics.

Rain postponed the games between Cleveland and the Yankees at New York and Chicago against the Red Sox at Boston. In the only game scheduled in the National League, Brooklyn thumped St. Louis 10-4 behind a three-homer barrage by Duke Snider, Sandy Amoros and Carl Furillo. The victory was Brooklyn's fourth In succession and boosted the third place Dodgers to within a half gam of Milwaukee, 2Va behind the pace-setting Cincinnati Redlegs. Ed Fitzgerald's pinch single with the bases loaded and one out in the bottom of the ninth scored Pete Runnels with the run that snapped Washington's five-game losing streak.

Pedro Ramos held the Titers to four hits for his third victory in five decisions. Starts Rally Runnels single set the winning rally in motion. Lary then hit Roy Sievers, Herb Plews sacrificed and Jim Lemon was purposely passed before Al Aber replaced the Tiger starter. Fitzgerald, batting for Lou Berberet, hit a grounder which third baseman Rene Bertoia stopped with a diving stab, but before he regained bis feet Runnels crossed the plate. It was a tough defeat for Lary, who has only, three complete games in eight starts.

Johnson- was superb for Bait! more as he faced only 29 batters and set the Athletics down in or der in eight of the nine innings One of the three men to reach base against him was erased on an attempted steal. The Orioles tagged loser Ned Decorate Now! Call 613 Main St. Phone 2-2460 EHIIilBS For IBC, Guilty NEW YORK The International Boxing Club and the U. S. government retired to realign their forces today in preparation for another head-on clash.

The IBC already has been found guilty of a monopoly in the promotion of championship fights. Now federal Judge Sylvester J. Ryan is hearing arguments from both sides before deciding what penalties to inflict on the IBC. The government held in Mon day's opening session that the only solution was "dissolution and divorcement, meaning that the IBC must be broken up entirely. Sees No Other Remedy William J.

Elkins, the department of justice attorney handling the government case, added that any other remedy would only allow the defendants to. "retain and continue to enjoy the benefits obtained through the illegal activities of the conspiracy to monopolize the boxing industry." The IBC, apparently has not decided just what to do. It is threatening but not promising to get out of the boxing business entirely rather than submit to a proposed trusteeship of its capital stock, a proposal of Judge Ryan. Both sides were grasping in the wind ior signs of friendliness to their respective cases by Judge Nieman cracked a two-out double and. scored on a single by Gus Triandos.

The other Baltimore run came in the eighth when Trucks walked Bob Boyd, who advanced on a wild pitch and scored on a single by Tito Francona. Drysdale Gets Win Young Don Drysdale, unbeaten so far, picked up his third victory as Brooklyn swept the two-game series from St. Louis. The 20-year old righthander yielded nine of the Cards' 11 hits and had to be relieved by Clem Labine after filling the bases in the eighth with nobody out. Labine, who has won three with out a defeat, all in relief, permit ted two Redbirds to score before retiring the side, and hurled a scoreless ninth to save his fourth game for other Dodger pitchers.

The Dodgers also got 11 hits but made nearly all of them count. Beside his homer, Furillo singled in the seventh to drive in half of the Dodgers' four runs in that in ning. The loser was Herman Weh- meier, first of three Cardinal hurlers. He now has lost three in a row after winning his first two. Joe Cunningham and Waily Moon each got three hits for the Cardinals, with Moon extending his hitting streak through 15 con secutive games.

RHS-New Castle Game Postponed To Friday The scheduled high school baseball game Monday between Richmond and New Castle at Municipal stadium was postponed because of wet grounds. C. A.

McConnell, RHS athletic director, said the game will be played Friday. Richmond plays at Middletown, Ohio, Wednesday and is home to Logansport on Thursday at 4 p. m. Archie's record is only a mediocre 21-12 but he's lost to the best, including two decisions to Jackson, the No. 1 contender.

"I thought I beat Jackson both times, said McBride, "I'd like to fight him next. "If not Jackson, we'd like Willie Pastrano," said manager Sammy Richman. v'Pastrano ducked out of a fight with him in Chicago last year." While Archie was pulling his upset, Patterson's manager, Cus D'Amato was busy in the back of the arena conferring separately with New York promoter Emil Lence and Jack Hurley. Seattle manager and promoter. D'Amato has appointed Lence to promote Patterson's first title defense.

Lence couldn't get to first base with Lippe Breidbart. Jackson's manager, Monday. He said he had offered Jackson 20 per cent but Lippe wouldn't bite. "He demanded $150,000 guran-tee plus $25,000 expenses against a 20 per cent guarantee," fumed EmiL "Whoever heard of a challenger demanding a guarantee for a chance at the title? Twenty per cent is plenty for a challenger." Of Monopoly Ryan. The defendants appeared to have the besjt of it in the opening skirmish.

The government proposed that the IBC officers holding stock in Madison Square Garden be forced to dispose of their holdings within six months. Commented Judge Ryan: "Frankly, I don't look with favor upon any decree compelling (them) to throw their stock on the open market because not only they might be penalized, but it is also possible that others, not involved in this case, would suffer substantial losses." IBC Attorney Kenneth C. RoyaU former secretary of the army, said that if the government suggestion is adopted, the Garden would be eliminated as a site of championship fights. He said IBC bigwigs Jim Norris and Arthur Wirtz would 'get out of boxing rather than risk their $2,000,000 investment in the Garden corporation. MX NOW SHOWING!

I By Cy McBride Getting credit for both victories in a double header isn't something that is done every day and Tom Acker, broad-shouldered and big-fisted right hander for the Cincinnati Redlegs, was beaming about his good fortune Monday. The 6-4, 215-pound sidearmer accomplished that feat Sunday as the Redlegs edged Pittsburgh in a -pair of one-run decisions at Crosley field, 8-7 and 5-4 boosting his record to a handsome 5-1, best of the Cincinnati staff.

Acker had to retire only one batter in the ninth inning of the opener after Brooks Lawrence had permitted the Pirates to score five runs and knot the score at 7-7, all with two outs. The Reds produced a run in the bottom of the ninth to give Acker the verdict. In the second game, Acker took over in the eighth inning with a 4-3 lead, permitted the Pirates to tie it in the top of the frame and then got a home run irom Wally Post in the last of the eighth, He survived a shaky ninth to win that one. The big Paterson, N. athlete, in his second year on the Cincinnati staff, was in Richmond Mon- day with his wife and daughter visiting Mr.

and Mrs. Bob Potten ger, 214 South Eleventh street. Army Teammates Pottenger and Acker were army teammates at Camp Breckinridge, in 1952, and both played sev eral games here that summer with the Richmond Mercurys. Acker, who has been the sur prise of the Redleg hill corps this spring thanks to unproved control, hesitated to take the credit for Sunday's wins and expressed sympathy for Lawrence, who had been pitching capable ball until the Pirates caught him in the ninth. He was enthusiastic about the current campaign, however, and left no doubt that he felt the Red-legs -could go all the way to the pennant "We're the best club and I think we can win it," Acker commented.

The huge hurler, who never had received credit for two wins in one day before Sunday, compared Brooklyn and Milwaukee and said he felt the Dodgers "will give us the most trouble." He was of the opinion Milwaukee's hitting will be its downfall. "After Hank Aaron, they don't have a lot of hitting. Most of their guys are streak hitters." What he was implying is that they have their hot streaks but are not consistent. Acker confessed that Stan Mus ial of the St. Louis Cardinals is the toughest hitter he's faced.

"Without a doubt, he's the best." Although New York's Willie Mays has been easy for him so far, Acker also had a lot of praise for the Giants' center fielder. "He's a real fine ball player." You'll like MAY 24, NEW YORK (J) Tiny Bobby Shantz is the New York Yankees' pitching surprise of the season, but he's not perfectly happy. "My arm doesn't hurt and I seem to have as much stuff as ever," the 143 pound, injury- hounded left-hander said Monday, "but that old control, it's just not there." Shantz, picked up in a 13-player deal between the Yankees and Kansas City Athletics in February, pitched eight innings and got credit for a 6-3 victory over Cleveland Sunday although he was taken out in the ninth. The mite-sized pitcher, frequent ly mistaken for a bat boy, has worked 38 innings the world champions. He has a 3-1 record, best won-lost mark on the team Casey Beaming He also has Manager Casey Stengel Deaming.

"He's been a dandy," said Stengel. Casey said he knew he was a chance with the former Athletics' ace, who has been plagued by a succession of injuries to his pitching arm, but had a hunch Shantz might help the team. "In training camp Shantz insisted his arm was okay," Casey said. "He said he wanted to start. I had my doubts but I decided to let him start.

I never had him down for the bullpen. I can't say how much he has surprised me." Shantz, who broke in with the Philadelphia Athletics in 1949, won 24 games and lost 7 in 1952 and won the award as the league's most valuable player. He suffered an arm ailment in 1953 after regaining form, was struck on the head by a batted ball in an exhibition game against the Pittsburgh Pirates in 1955 and shortly afterward, pulled a tendon in his left elbow.
