THE OWENSBORO, MESSENGER FRIDAY, MAY 195 15-B GREATEST rTSHTS of thTCENTURV poured out laudatory words for a bill he is sponsoring. Johnson's bill would permit, with, out fear of anti-trust prosecution, the banning of transmission of major league games into the territory of minor league clubs without their consent VesIeyan Nine Bows To Evansville 5-2 Pitcher Ed Johnson struck out 18 Evansville College batters at More-land Park yesterday afternoon, but lost a 5-2 decision as Kentucky Wesleyan played its first formal college baseball game. Although Johnson allowed just seven hits, the visiting Purple Aces bunched them nicely and took a big lead at the start by scoring two runs in each of the second and third innings. Joe Roop's timely single in the sixth frame drove in Bob Master-son and Ernie Abernathy for Coach Robert Wilson's only two counters. In a previout tilt, an exhibition with the Owensboro Oilers, the Panthers suffered defeat.

They have an abbreviated schedule lined up and will meet Evansville again, in addition to Western Kentucky State and several other teams.

George Preston Marshall, owner of the Washington Redskins of the National sional football League, told the committee "you've got to take corrective action against the Department of Justice or they will destroy all sports." And Al Harroway of Helena, president of the Cotton States League, told the senators the league he heads ha "really suffered" in attendance from the broadcasting of major league games into the territory of his clubs.

Time 2 hr. 25 minutes. 29 Games Have Been Postponed This Year In National League CINCINNATI, May 7 (Jtl Only once in the last 50 years have there been more National League baseball games postponed this early in the season, it was said today. Dave Grote, manager of the Service Bureau of the league, dipped into the records this afternoon and came up with that information. "This is the 24th day of the season," he told a reporter "and there have been 29 postponements.

I checked back as far as 1903 when they started keeping all the box scores and found that only in 1940 were there more. In the same time that year, there were 30 postponements. "Incidentally, the National League also had 29 postponements in 1947. But it was bright and fine in 1951, when there were only three games stopped by weather. That is the all-time low mark.

There were 12 postponements this time a year ago." TRAP SHOOT Sat and Sun. May 9 and 10 Shooting starts ot 10 a. m. and 12 noon Sun. FULLENWIDER BROS.

To begin with, Holoman is not the second pitcher, as previously reported, but the third to hurl a no-hitter in his first starting as- signment.

LOUIS, May 7 LTOnce upon a time there were two Syracuse pitchers and two American League ball clubs looking for pitchers. The pitchers were Bob Keegan and Bobo Holloman. The clubs were the Chicago White Sox and St. Louis Browns. Both clubs were advised by the International League team last season that the pitchers were up for sale.

Both clubs wanted Kee gan. Chicago moved in first and snapped up Keegan, a 20-game winner. The Browns took Hooloman as a second choice. Last night Holloman became the first modern clay rookie to pitch a no-hit, no-run game in his first major league start, defeating the Philadelphia Athletics. 6-0.

Keegan, meanwhile, is on the White Sox disabled list with a sore arm. Moral: What's that stuff about the early bird? Bryant (ails Scrimmage a "Pitiful Exhibition" LEXINGTON, May 7 LP (Kentucky's football forces battled to a one touchdown tie in an intra- squad scrimmage today but didn't please the boss. Coach Paul Bryant called it a "pitiful exhibition" and said "with the exception of Steve Meilinger, Neil Lowry and a very few others, no one showed anything today that would indicate they were interested in even making contact with their opponents." Meilinger scored for the Whites on a pass in the first period and Dick Shatto tallied for the Blues as time ran out. The scrimmage went the regulation distance but kickoffs and tries for points after touchdowns were omitted. The squad was divided along more even lines than in the first scrimmage last week.

The St. Louis Browns rookie, who pitched a no-hit game in his first major league start, failed to make the grade with the Chicago Cubs in 1950.

They sent him back to Nashville, where he had played the year before. He subsequently played for Albany, Augusta and Syracuse, from which club the Browns purchased his contract.
