no threat of rain that might
cause a second postponement
of the title match.
; The weather forecast for
tonight was "warm and humid
with fog in some places and
temperature in the low 70's."
Rosensohn reiterated his es
timate of a crowd of 35,000
and a gate in excess of $500,
000. "
Irving B. Kahn, president
cf Teleprompter, Inc., said he
did not think the one day
postponement would hurt
theater-TV sales.
Thursday's postponement of
the 15-round bout between
i h a m ion Patterson and
Swedish Johansson, champion
of Europe, was caused by rain
and wet grounds at Yankee
Stadium.
Many Sought Refunds
After the switch was an
nounced, many ticket holders
sought refunds at the fight
ticket-office on Broadway; but
most of the requests were re
jected. Rosensohn said then,
"there'll be no refunds while
this fight is still scheduled to
be held." "
. Ticket priqes range from
$10 to $100. o
Chairman Melvin L. Krule
witch of the athletic commis
sion notified Rosensohn's sec
retary,. Mrs. Doris Carnot,
"the box office would have

Buxom Mrs. Carnot said
that innocently and sweetly
Thursday night at a press con
ference, much to Rosensohn's
surprise, after he had asked
her about Krulewitch's visit.

bid for a no-hitter.
Loser was Perez, who now
has a 3-5 season record.
Portland scored the only
run of the game in the first
ining when Graff singled and
went to third on Charlie Se
crest's single, and scored
when Perez fired the wild
pitch when facing Portland's
George Freese.
The game was played be
fore 2126 fans.
Phoenix Wins
After playing dead for the
past two weeks, the seventh
place Phoenix Giants 1 are
showing signs of waking
much to the dismay of the
pennant hungry Vancouver
Mounties.
The Giants, who tumbled
from third to-seventh "recent
ly on the strength of some
terrible baseball, won their
third straight from the Moun
ties Thursday night; 7-5.
Vancouver is now 3V4
games behind league-leading
Sacramento, which nipped
Spokane Thursday night, 5-4.
In other action, Portland de
feated Salt Lake by a 1-0
score for the second straight
night and last-place Seattle

Seattle pushed over four

ning and Mark Freeman scat
tered six hits in going the
distance on the mound for

Diego third sacker Gene Leek
opened the gates for the
