And the strange part Is he didn't have to take his ba: off his shoulder. it was in the ninth inning of th game between the Yank' es anti Browns al New York. The bases were loaded and the score tied at 1-aU. Johnson came up to fa' e Bob Muncrlef. the Brownie pitcher.

Because Muncrlef obliged by pitchlag four straight balls. Johnson trotted down to first base, bringing Charley Keller in from third to , win the game. Muncrlef had pitch'd a good! game up to the ninth inning. He'd ! allowed only one run in the second inning.

Wrighf-Terranova »Fight On Tonight Featherweights To Meet In New York New York. June 4. (VP) A bout bllle I a* a "featherweight challengers' elimination contest" will be staged tonight at Madison Square Garden. The principals are ' ancient Chalky Wright and young 1 Phil Terranova. The two will battle for 11 rounds I I for the right to meet the featherweight king. Willie P< p. But it's I I p< i-siblc the winner may never get n crack at the title, because of a Ifr nt office mix up involving the . N- w York boxing commission. However, tonight's fight will give I fans an opportunity to compare ' Wright a veteran of over 300 proi fe-slonal tights wiili one of the > m wcomers to the division. A crowd of 10.000 is exp, cted. The chance that tonight’s winI ner will meet the featherweight 1 champ depends upon the outcome 1 of th, Willie Pep-Sal Bartolo tight In B< eton on Tuesday. pep Is the champion In the eyes of the New York commission. The rest ct the states recognise Jack!' Callura of Hamilton. Ontario. The New York commission has ruled that Peji must uetend his < title against the winner of th I Wright Terranova Inuit on June 25. i But suppose pep Is beaten by Bartolo on Tuesday? Bartolo Is the most danger us opponent Pep , has in th division, and he con- < < ivably could take Pep Info camp. The New York commission has guarded against this by proclaiming that the Pep-Bartolo fight is not a title encounter so far iw New York is concerned. In oth r w rds. Pep can't lost his championship to Bartolo, and so he'll still be availaide to meet the Wright-Terranova winner. The only catch is that if Bartolo should win on Tuesday, he'd hava rightful claim to the cn wn. And. In the eyes of the boxing world. .P< p would be defending a New York championship lie doesn't own. Th> re's one other thing: If Bartolo wins, he has to offer Pep a return Isotit so n afterward. And Pep might choose to meet Bartolo again. So Wright and Terranova will be fighting tonight with a very slim chance of achieving a bout forth featherweight title. It may be called a "featherweight challengers' elimination tournam nt contest,'* hut that doesn't mean much. K. C.
