He did but we're ahead of the story Fricano had entered the game against the Charleston Senators the sixth inning The situation was bad for the home club and it almost immediately became worse especially when Zorro Versal-les the Senators' little shortstop hit one of pitches out of the paik for a grand slam homer it was enough to put a man's ITS COKE NIGHT IPaflp M2 non Rangers Shift To La

What kind of effort could the public expect? What kind of drawing power would such a pairing have? It would be hard enough to again arouse any substantial public interest if Johansson was to enter the ring under edict Too many thousands saw for them-aelves in the last match that lngo is a rather awkward boxer who has no business in the ring with Patterson Joe Walcott a foimer champion who probably knows as much about boxing as anyone has pronounced Johansson in skill and unqualified for competition against the champion PUBLIC MAY NOT GO fOR INGEMAR AGAIN If Johansson was a real fighter a determined and dedicated boxer burning with desire to recapture the pionship a third match might be sold It is improbable however the public will spend another three or four million dollars to follow' the fortunes of a nice young fellow who obviously doesn't like to either train or fight It is entirely possible that Johansson is deliberately killing a return engagement lngo may not be much of a fighter but he is the most heavyweight since Gene Tunney He has proved time and again that he knows what he is doing and saying It might be hard for Johansson to admit even to himself that he wants no more of Patterson It will be less painful to be the because he has chosen to retire after one more fight The only thing perhaps that will inspire the Fugazys to persist in the promotion is for some ambitious city to guarantee a huge gate $1000000 or more LISTON LAW RECORD MAKES HIM DOUBTFUL With that kind of guarantee the promoters could afford to gamble with the television radio and movie people on what kind of response they would get Whether or not either the closed circuit or home TV companies would be enthusiastic about a rematch would be of secondary importance although another fat guarantee would of course be widly welcomed Such a guarantee is unlikely The networks are as alert no doubt to the dangers of a decline of interest as the Fugazys The best reason for believing there will be another Pat-terson-Johansson fight is that lngo is still the most likely challenger in sight Sonny Liston? Sure he can probably whip Patterson and Johansson the same time but Liston is a former convict whose occupancy of the heavyweight throne wouldn't help social or political standings Kramer Thinks 'Open' Coming Will the Tn ates be the 37th NOT talk about that said Manager Danny Mur-taugh with a smile a long long way to go played less than half a season-only 72 and anything can happen pennant is a long way off We just think about the Braves and San Fiancisco Anyone of the first six teams can do it going to be a tough fight all the way to the Although stunned by the blowing of a five-run advantage in the Pirates' loss in the opener Mur-taugh was pleased by the routegoing six -hit performance of veteian southpaw Harvey Haddix in the nightcap pitched himself a beautiful Murtaugh said we certainly needed it We have a pitcher to go all the way for us for a dozen games Our bullpen guys can use a little rest ONE of the things which will decide where we will finish Our pitching has to hold up If it does be Over in the Milwaukee clubhouse Braves Manager Charlie Dressen also was keeping lus fingers crossed in fervent hope that his pitching will straighten out I can get a game without ielieving Tuesday we'll be all Dressen said in naming Carl Willey (4 3 to oppose the ernon Law 11 3' been right with both Willey aod (Juan) Pizarro nursing sore Dressen explained Willey says all set and Pizarro told the doc okay so majbe we can get started again MILWVAKEK July 5 UP -The National League leader at nightfall on the Fourth of July usually goes on to win the pennant But that just another dusty old record as far as the first place Pittsburgh Pirates are concerned The Pnates virtually banned clubhouse pennant talk Monday although they remained 3'4 games ahead by defeating Milwaukee 7-2 aftpr the runner-up Braves had captured the opener of a doubleheader 7-6 in 10 innings The recoid book shows that the National League winner on Independence Day has won the pennant 36 times since the turn of the century be he said might want to contact me the Wimbledon tournament I talked a lot with Herman David chairman of the All-England Club We agreed on one that whether professionals play or not the traditions of Wimbledon and what it stands for must remain untouched The Paris meeting will have to decide what kind of prizes will be offered in an open tournament The All-England Club has said it will not give big money pnzes Kramer has said his professional stars will not compete unless the prizes make it worth their while I think they are under the impiession that the professionals need Wimbledon so much they will be willing to play there for practically Kramer said they need Wimbledon They want to get back into thp glamour of international tournaments But I have told David that while I am willing to keep nut of any negotiations on pnze money I can not agree to anything on behalf of the profes sionals unless they give me the go-ahead AA Bailing Leaders ayer Virg 1 Dens er Osborne Denver non ver Scha ve Charleson 78 I Srh iirr Main 71 McDaniel Denver 7n I Smith Charleston 56 Mave I Hvlile 57 Mam MinneaooJn 73 4ici'-lr Denver 67 Harris St Paul 4 Mjin Ab 8 14 17 68 229 57 82 62 3n4 50 107 46 94 2-0 61 84 2i 38 69 227 13 74 2r9 j7 46 230 -6 73 295 33 65 180 23 57 Prt 77 39 I 3x8 3x1 3 34k 1 33h In 36 31 I 31?
