Moran was under orders to bring his income tax statements over the past five years to the commission investigation of the Harold Johnson - Julio Mederos bout, which Johnson lost here May 6 after collapsing at the end of the second round. A commis sion doctor said Johnson was drugged. Moran's return to the witness chair came on the heels of testi mony by Mrs. Goldie Perri Wednesday that the name of her husband, Peter, on a contract listing him as co-manager man in the case, was located in a hos pital by police and denied in an affidavit that he ever entered into any managerial or other agreement with Johnson and his manager of record, Tommy Loughrey. Johnson and Lough rey denied knowing Perri, whose purported signature appeared alongside theirs on a contract dated Sept. 24, 1948. "If my name appears on any contract, the signature thereto is a forgery," Perri said in the affidavit. Klein made his accusation against Moran after Mrs. Perri told the three - man commission Moran suggested to her at a meeting last Thursday night that Ferri should state he signed the Johnson contract, if he were call ed to testify. Snider's Thundering Bat Wain Factor In 11-8 Dodger Victory Over Braves Br FRED DOWN Unittd Press Sports Writer Duke Snider's thunderous bat was wiping out the memory of his disappointing 1954 finish to day while his Brooklyn Dodg er teammates were well on their way to wiping out the all-time club record of 221 homers in one season. Snider, who lost the National League batting title to Willie Mays on the final day of last season, drove in six runs with three homers and a double Wed nesday night as the Dodgers walloped the Milwaukee Braves, 11-8, with a six-homer outburst. The 29-year-old slugger thus took over the major league lead with 15 home runs and 48 runs batted in, in addition to raising his season's average to .319. Ths six home runs gave the Dodgers a total of 67 in 44 games a pace that would give them a season's total of 321. The 1947 New York Giants set the all-time record of 231. Curious Surprise The wild slugfest was a curi ous surprise for the 18,380 fans who expected a third pitching duel between Milwaukee's Gene Conley and Brooklyn's Carl Ers kine. Conley and Erskine had engaged in two 12-inning duels previously this season in which a total of five runs were scored. When the smoke cleared there had been a total of 25 hits, in cluding five doubles, two triples and six homers for 52 total bases. Jackie Robinson, who hit one of the homers off Conley, re vealed it was none other than pitcher Don Newcombe who set the stage for the slugging bee. . "Don watched Conley warm up before the game and noticed he wasn't masking his curve ball," Robinson explained. "He was right. And, as a result, we knew every pitch he was throw ing." Erskine received credit for his seventh victory of the season but was routed when the Bra'es scored five runs in the seventh inning and needed Jim Hughes' shutout relief pitching to pre serve the verdict. On top of everything else, the Dodgers picked up a full game on both the second-place Chicago Cubs and third - place New York Giants. Roberts Hurls Six-Hitter Robin Roberts flipped a six hitter for his eighth victory in pacing the Philadelphia Phillies to a 3-1 decision over the Cubs while Joe Nuxhall's five-hitter and Ted Kluszewski's 14th hom er helped the Cincinnati Red legs down the Giants, 5-2. Rookie Luis Arroyo won his sixth straight game as the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Pittsburgh Pirate?. 6-2, in the other Nation al League game. In the American League, the New York Yankees swept the Kansas City Athletics, 3-1 and 6-1 to increase their first-place lead to three games over the Cleveland Indians, who downed the Baltimore Orioles, 5-0. The Chicago White Sox edged out the Boston Red Sox, 4-3, and the Detroit Tigers routed the Washington Senators, 9-0, in other games. Rookie Johnny Kucks won his fourth game and veteran Whitey Ford his seventh as the Yankees made it 18 wins in 21 games First baseman Bill Skowron tied MUF0RlTRIMrMI SIPCDDBTTS Error Enables Padres To Overcome Acorns; Beavers Now Fourth By PETER HAYES United Press Sports Writer The San Diego Padres re sumed their winning ways in the Pacific Coast League last night but it took 11 innings and a crucial Oakland error to do it. Beaten in four of their last five games after winning 25 out of 26, the league - leading Padres edged out the Oaks, 1-0, with an unearned run in the 11th inning set up by shortstop Russ Rose's error. With no one out and men on first and second, Earl Rapp grounded to third baseman Billy Consolo who threw to Rose at second. Rose took the throw but failed to touch second and the bases were loaded. On the next play, Rose took Eddie Kazak's grounder and nailed Buddy Peterson at the plate for one out. But the next Formal Charges Must Be Submitted Before Any Santee Case Probe Los Angeles U.R) AAU officials today said no investiga tion will be made of published charges that Kansas miler Wes Santee will receive "about $3000" for appearing in five California track meets unless formal charges are filed. The charge, published in the San Francisco Chronicle yester day, was hotly denied by Santee who insisted he had stayed with in the bounds imposed by ama teur regulations on expense money during his western tour. Santee was backed up by of ficials of the five meets, who said America's premier miler re ceived only plane fare and the $12.50 per diem expense money permitted by AAU regulations. Larry Houston, local head of the AAU, said any investigation would have to be conducted by the Missouri Valley association of the AAU with which Santee was registered. ' Warren Giles Lashes At Prophets of Doom Cincinnati, O. (U.R) War ren Giles charged today that "prophets of doom" are insist ing major league attendance is declining at a time when "Na tion league interest is at an all time high." "What measuring stick is be in " used by these reporters of mournful tidings?" the National league president asked. "At tendance figures prove the game is more popular than at any time in history with the exception of the lush boom years immed iately following World War II." Skipper Spurs Studs In Win Over Yrekans Clarence Mellbye, shortstop and manager, was the kingpin of the attack last night as the Medford Cheney Studs clubbed Yreka, Calif., 11 to 7 in a non league semi-pro baseball " game here. Skipper' Mel cracked out four hits in five appearances in the batter's box and drove home six runs as the Studs posted their second straight verdict of the season over the Indians from California. Medford won Mon day at Yreka 22 to 16. Biggest offensive assistance to the Cheney manager came from First Baseman Jack Cooney who had three for three batting suc cess. He brought home one run, set up three men on base to boost Mellbye's RBI total and crossed the plate twice himself. Ritchie Price and Fred Luper, Southern Oregon collegians playing for the Studs blasted in other markers and two runs tallied on errors. McLean Scores 4 Times Bill McLean collected only one of the Cheney hits but he drew bases on balls on three occa sions and scored four times dur ing the evening. He was brought home three times by Mellbye. Yreka took a brief lead with a run in the opening frame but Medford retailiated in the same panel. The Studs assumed com mand for keeps with a third in ning marker and led 6 to 1 and 11 to 3 at other stages. The Indians used a walk to Louie Fasoletti, a groundout by Don Hodgen and a single by Jim Kutzer for their first inning tally. Medford came back in the canto on two walks and an er or. McLean's safety, a sacrifice by Cooney and a blow by Mellbye pushed over the third inning run. Big Fourth Inning Big stanza for the Medf ord ies was the fourth inning when four runs came over. Cooney and Mellbye got the only hits of the panel. There were four walks, two fielders' options, and an error and a wild pitch. Yreka hacked the margin to 6 to 3 with a pair of runs in the sixth inning. Ray Moffett walk ed, Jack Clark singled and Butch Pickard doubled. How ever, the score hopped to 9 to 3 with three Studs' counters in the same chukker. McLean drew a free pass, Cooney singled, Mell bye hit and got to third on an error and came in after Luper's flyout. The spread went to 11 to 3 with two runs in the seventh. Ed McCullough, Cooney and Mellbye all got raps and Dick Price reached base on a fielder's choice. Indians Rally The Indians rallied for three runs in the eighth inning. Pick ard, Bill Kleaver and Bill Snave ly safetied. There was one error and a passed ball. A base on balls, a wild pitch and Pickard's third hit ofl the game were re sponsible for Y r e k a's final score in the ninth inning. Lloyd Hoffine, from Southern Oregon college, hurled eight-hit ball for the Stud's but gave up eight bases on balls and threw three wild pitches. He struck out nine. The Studs got 10 hits off two of Yreka's three hurlers and a total of 10 bases on balls, six off starter Don Costello. There were four strikeouts with finisher Dave Rowe whiffing three. Pickard with three for five was the big hitter for the visit ors. Medford's next home action is a Sunday afternoon mix with Grants Pass here. The Studs play at Grants Pass Saturday night. Yreka returns for a game next Wednesday. LINESCORE: Yreka 100 002 031 7 S 4 Yreka 100 002 031 7 8 4 Costello. Ewing (4). Rowe (7) and Kleaver; Hoffine and McLean. SUDER RELEASED Kansas City, Mo.

Taylor also drove in a run with a sacrifice fly and belted a triple to help Bob Alexander gain his second win after one defeat. George Prescott drove in three of Hollywood's runs with three singles.

Willie Pep TKO Victor Boston U.P.)

Wednesday night when an apparent butt, which Pep acknowledged, opened a deep gash over Cam's left eye early in the third round.

After Curley stopped the bout, the i 33-year-old former champ from Hartford, Conn., came to the edge of the ring and ! explained to newsmen that the head-knocking was "purely ac cidental."
