TWELVE MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Harold Johnson Suspended, Purse Forfeited as Result Of Mederos Bout Hearing By JOSEPH D. HUTNYAH Harrisburg, Pa. U.R) Light heavyweight Harold Johnson, who "blacked out" in a May 6 loss to Julio Mederos in Phila delphia, today was under a six months suspension for action "against the best interest of boxing." Charging that Johnson was "not in fit condition" to go through with the Mederos bout because he apparently was drug ged, the Pennsylvania State Ath letic Commission also directed Wednesday night that the box er's S4.113 purse be forfeited. The commission ruled that "by reason of having had administer ed to him barbiturate drugs by a person or persons unknown," Johnson should never have gone into the ring that night of the fight. Johnson had testified be fore the commission that he be lieved an orange given him by an unknown person before the fight may have contained a drug. ,The licenses of Johnson's man ager, Tommy Loughrey, and his seconds. Louis Gross and Clar ence Davidson, also were sus pended, and the commission re voked the matchmaking permit of Pete Moran. 99 Day Ban : The commission s action re sulted from hearings into, the controversial bout in Philadel phia in which testimony was heard for nine days. Uproar af ter the fight brought a 90-day boxing ban in Pennsylvania by Gov. George M. Leader. A new state boxing code also is being written. The commission charged all those under suspension with "conduct detrimental to the best interests of boxing" in connec tion with the match, during which Johnson fainted on his ring stool at the end of the second round. Moran now is under bail for allegedly perjuring himself in conflicting testimony to the comission, which closed its hear ings in Philadelphia June 7. F. Patterson Knocks uut Heavyweight New "5toi. iUj ..mark- able young Floyd Patterson, en thused by a knockout victory over his first heavyweight op- nnnpnt said today. "Id like to win both the light-heavyweight and heavyweight titles. It would be real nice." If Wednesday night's kayo over Archie McBride is any cri terion, the 20-year-old. light- heavyweight contender from Brooklyn seems to have a good chance of achieving his double barreled desire. Floyd, Olympic middleweight champion of 1952, spotted mus cular McBride pounds and knocked him out at 1:46 of the seventh round with the third knock down of the fight. Their nationally televised and broad cast bout in Madison quare Gar den had been scheduled for 10 rounds. 23rd Victory McBride out-weighed him, 186V4 pounds to 170. Floyd, who registered his 23rd victory in 24 professional bouts, said he would like to fight more heavyweights, "because they're slower than the boys I've been fighting." Wednesday night he was like "brown lightning" "as he tagged 26-year-old McBride with the third knockout and 10th defeat in his career of 30 fights. He floored' Archie with a left hook to the head for a count of eight near the end of the sixth round and dropped him with a right-left-right to' the chin, for nine early in the seventh. Then a right to the jaw felled McBride for the full count. Indians, Braves Cop NWL Games By UNITED PRESS Who turned those Northwest League standings upside down?

Goodwin today for his Sunday squabble with Umpire Al Mutart during a double header between the Seals and San Diego. Goodwin fined Heath $50 yes terday and suspended him pend ins the hearing. Heath was forced to remain off .the bench during last night's game in Sac ramento. The Seal manager was tossed out of the second game Sunday in the first inning when Sal Taormina hit a slow hopper to Johnny Merson and appeared to Heath to beat out the throw to first. Mutart called Taormina out and Heath, Coach Reno Cheso and Taormina charged the arbiter. Sal was thumbed out and Heath charged Mutart bringing on. a shoving match as the Seals infield . gathered about .. Heath was ejected from the game. are vSx J . ou might say that the headed "THE UNANIMOUS- DECLARA TION of the thirteen united STATES OF AMERICA" and dated July 4, 1776, touched off a real fireworks dis play in the world. But uhat actually did the business uxis the attitude of the men wfitf wrote and signed the Declaration. They could have become the kings and nobles of a New World tyranny. Instead, they chose to become free men in a nation of free men. In 1776, this kind of thinking was re garded as dangerous to the point of madness. In some quarters of the globe today, it is still regarded in the same way. Men who have never known free-' dom are eager to save us from ourselves. Luckily, we are considerably stronger, now. than in 1776. But the fireworks are still exploding and America must remain as powerful as possible. That is whyyour country wants you to invest in Savings Bonds. These Bonds will make jwu a more independent Amer ican. They will make America a sttonger nation. , : So keep on investing in U.S. Series E Sav ings Bonds. Invest through, the TayroU Savings Plan at work, or buy Bonds reg ularly at your bank. mm thmlm, frr thmr wtrittit itmHan, tkt Amtmmt Comal md MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE 5f Announcing the Re-opening of InilLIxlJK jI dj) 00 NEW FRIDA Y, JULY M, il.30 a.m. NOW FEATURING: LUNCHEON Cafeteria Tray Service 11:30 a.m until 5 p.m. DINNERS Table and Booth Service 5 p.m. until 1 a.m. Tuesday thru Friday 5 p.m. until 2 a.m. Saturday SUNDAY Table and Booth Service 11:30 a.m. until midnight DRIVE-IN SERVICE During all operating hours THANKS . . .
