Favor Elimination Boul Mnrprnnl inld tho noil of 14 committeemen favored a heavyweight elimination be tween ex-champlon Johanaaon of Sweden and top-ranked Sonny Llston of Philadelphia to determine which ahould fight Patterson for the title. Patterson and Johansson are already matched by a return-bout contract for a third boot probably at Los Angeles, Oct. 31 or Nov. 1. In concctlon with that, Maccronl'a Providence state ment added: -While the NBA will not try to prevent the third Patterson-Johansson match, I feel that for the good of boxing Johansson ahould first meet Llston to provo his right to the third bout." Mlqhl Vacate Title The possible "bomb In Ma ceronl'a announcement was this: "If a third Patterson-Johansson match Is set, Ignor ing the result of our poll, I will present these facta to our annual convention at Mexico City on Sept. 4 to decide on the future course we should take In the heavyweight divi sion." The September action at Mexico City might well re mit In an order for the Patterson-Johansson winner to de fend within alx months against Llston or risk having the title vacated.

Ladies Open Golf Lead By Wright Worcester, Mass. - WD -If Mickey Wright is correct, there are 12 entries still in the running for the U.S. Wo men's Open golf champion ship.

Twelve women finished the opening round with a 76 or better score but such favor ites as top 1960 money-winner Louise Suggs, Patty Berg and Barbara Romack were all above the 76-stroke mark set as tough to beat by the first day leader.

She had an eagle on the par five, 440-yard 12th hole to rank one stroke back of the tall Miss Wright. Mickey, 25-year-old resident of Chula Vista.

Go SHOP.s.PENNEY'S STREET Roberts 'Done Out' Of No-Hitter Game, Phil Skipper Feels By SCOTT BAILLIE San Francisco llfPIl -- Has Robin Roberts been done out of a no-hitter by the official scorer after nearly 13 long years of trying to pitch one? The last of the Philadelphia Phillies "Whiz Kids" blanked the San Francisco Giants Thursday with one hit, 3-0, and' neither manager Gene Mauch nor third baseman Joe Morgan were satisfied with the decision that cost their hurlcr a no-hitter. The controversial play de veloped in the fifth inning with two out when Filipe Alou sent a bounder back to Morgan at third base. The former Milwaukee Brave backed up in order to play the grounder on a longer hop and landed on the seat of his pants with the ball in his glove and Alou safe at first. Official scorer James K. McGce immediately called out "one base hit" and that was that until the game ended. Then deep disappointment roamed through the Phillies' dressing room except at Rob erts' stall where the easy-go ing right - hander smoked a long cigar, enjoyed a beer and smilingly accepted the scor er's ruling. Managtr Broods "I didn't give the play much thought," said Roberts, who now has three one-hitters to his credit. "If it had been ruled an error, then 1 might have started thinking about a no-hitter and the Giants might have gotten a lot of them." . Morgan claimed he was surprised to find he had not been charged with an error. "I noticed when the fifth inning started that Robbie had a no-hitter going," Morgan said. "I've made plenty of er rors before and one more wouldn't have made any dif ference if it would have meant a no-hitter for that guy after 13 years in the majors."

The brooding manager tramping around the club house in his long flannel un dershirt, earlier had declared, "It was the most genuine no hitter anyone could pitch." "T here wasn't a tough chance in the game," echoed coach Andy Cohen. . "Well, the man called it a hit and that's good enough for me, said Roberts, Roberts struck out eight and issued only one walk while winning his sixth game of the season. The walk went to Hobie Landrilh in the third inning and in the ninth, Bob Schmidt raced to second when Ted Morgan at third, fielded his grounder and threw wildly to first for an error. .
