ONE HIT; BEES ; ' By DON BECKER UPI Staff Writer When the San Francisco Giants recalled Billy Muffctt Tuesday to aid their ineffective bull pen staff they bypassed the Pacific Coast League's top hurler. Never was that more anparent than Tuesday night when 22-year-old Eddie Fisher tossed a brilliant one - hitter against the Portland Beavers to register his 10th win of the season. . The Oklahoma University grad uate, who is a bookkeeper in the off-season, came within two outs of tossing a no-hitter. Russ Snyder ruined it by a solid double to ccn- terfield in the ninth. , Pisher, 6-VA, 200 pounds, struck out seven, walked three. Phoenix won, 6-0. If the biff Ieaeue Giants nreTe- Iuctant to bring up Fisher it is probably only because they want to move him along gradually and prevent any shattering of confi season, freshman Fisher had a dence. At thme end of last 11-7 mark for Corpus Christi in the .Texas League after joining the club in June. In other PCL action Tuesday night, San Diego and Vancouver, the two key contenders for.

Acid Test June 25 That's the night when unbeaten Ingemar will try to wrest the world heavyweight championship from Floyd Patterson. But the knockdown punch never came during Johansson's ' seven rounds of sparring in the jammed ski lodge here Tuesday afternoon, Not one of the four sparmates was even staggered or knocked back onto his heels Dcmpsey, the most tigerish of 'all heavyweight champions the baleful belter, who couldn't "pull" a punch even in training sat there at the ringside, frankly puz zled. Those seven rounds completed a total of 151 sparred since the champion of Europe arrived in the United States-and as yet he hasn't scored a knockdown. Were Ingemar a light-hitting fancy-dan boxer that no-knockdown record might cause little comment. Most Dangerous Right But the burly 198-pound Swede is supposed to possess the most dangerous right thunderbolt in the heavyweight division. During his 21 straight professional victories, he scored 43 knockouts mostly with the right fist. And his most impressive per formance was in his Inst fight, Seot. 14, when he knocked out Eddie Machen of Redding, Calif., in the first round at Goteborg, Sweden flooring him three times.
