Oral Argument
Heard in Probe
Of Johnson Bout
Philadelphia (U.R) The
Pennsylvania Athletic . Commis
sion heard oral arguments from
six respondents today before
moving toward a decision in its
investigation of Harold John
son's "blackout" bout with Julio
Mederos of Cuba, May 6.
New interest was focused ofc
the investigation after Rep.
Thomas J. Lane (D-Mass.) called
on Congress last Wednesday for
a probe to determine whether
professional boxing is a sport or
a racket. Lane said the "most re
cent tipoff " on the plight of box
ing came when Gov. George M.
Leader of Pennsylvania sus
pended the sport for 90 days
"following the strange circum
stances surrounding the John-on-Mederos
contest."
Perjury Charged
Attorneys for the respondents
were to direct their oratory to
Commission Chairman James H.
Crowley and Commissioners Al
fred Klein and Paul Sullivan,
who conducted a probe which
,a closed June 7 and already has
' resulted in the arrest of match
maker Pete Moran on perjury
charges. '
The respondents, including
Moran, Johnson and Johnson's
manager of record, Tommy
Loughrey, are accused of partic
ipating in a "sham or collusive"
bout and "conduct detrimental to
boxing."
The three, along with John
son's handlers, Clarence David
son, Joe Rowland and Lou Gross,
are charged with knowing John
son was not in condition to fight
but permitted him to enter the
ring against the hard-punching
Mederos.

The Los Angeles golfer said he
thought the club was stolen from
Eddie Hogan in San Francisco.
"Must have been slipped into
my bag during the rain," Quick
said.
Boros finished with a three-under-par
69 but was forced to
take a two-stroke penalty be
cause his caddy picked up his
ball two inches from the cup on
the green, and tossed it to Boros.
After Boros shouted "Don't
touch it, don't," the caddy
trudged to the next tee with
tears in his eyes. Boros later told
tournament officials "Everybody
makes mistakes. He's a darned
good caddy. I'd like to keep
him."
