It was the fifth time in his last nine starts that the terror of the world series was knocked out and the sixth time, counting his departure for a pinch hitter, that he failed to last. "I'm still off in my timing and coordination*” Antonelli said glumly. “I’m not smooth. I’ve been pitching on the side hoping to straighten out” After permitting a run in the first inning, Antonelli was staggered by a Danny O’Connell single, a Hank Thompson throwing error, a double by Bill Bruton, his second walk of the evening, Ed Mathews' double, and Hank Aaron’s two-run blast. Bobby Thomson greeted Paul Giel with another home run and the game was over for all practical purposes. Giel struck out eight Braves in 5 1-3 innings before Hoyt Wilhelm was attacked for five more runs in the ninth. The Braves had 17 hits in all and the Giants ten, including a Whitey Lockman homer.

Pennsylvania Plans Cleanup Os Boxing PHILADELPHIA (INS) — The Pennsylvania athletic commission has completed a month long investigation of boxing, but It was Indicated that the probe is “only the beginning” of a wholesale cleanup of the sport in the state. The hearings originally got underway in the wake of the alleged drugging of Harold Johnson In his May 6th televised fight at Philadelphia with Cuban Julio Mederos, but later broadened its scope as Gov. George M. Leader clamped a 90-day ban on the sport in the state. The investigation led to the arrest of Pete Moran, the matchmaker for the bout, on charges of giving perjured testimony to the commission. Moran had been cited by the group, along with Tommy Loughrey, Johnson's manager of record. ans three handlers for conduct detrimental to boxing and participating in a “sham bout.” In add!-' tion, Moran was charged with having an illegal monetary interest in Johnson. Before the hearing wound up Tuesday, commissioner Alfred M Klein temporarily stepped out of his investigator's role and became a witness to deny charges that he had "prejudged” the cases of the respondents. fiplice inspector John F. Driscoll also was called to testify about what he termed a sudden change in the odds, which he said indicated to him that "Someone knew Johnson wasn't in the best of condition." Driscoll also said he was sure Johnson had been drugged, adding that he couldn’t name the guilty party but “I have a suspicion of the people behind it.” The commission will report the findings to Governor Leader, and then await briefs in two weeks from counsel for the respondents before proceedings.
