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.

Heath Suspended
By PCL President
San Francisco (U.R) Manager
Tommy Heath of the San Fran
cisco Seals faced a hearing be
fore Pacific Coast League Presi
dent Claire V. 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.

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.
