Elimination
Boxing Boit
Discussed
By JACK CUDDY
New York - ItlPD - The Na
tional noxlng association's
luteal poll threntrned today a
possible 1081 apllt In Floyd
Pntteraon'a bnind new $35,
000 golden, bejewelled heavy
weight crown,
Pntteraon, who had recap
hired the world title from In
gemnr Johnnsaon on June 20,
donned Ihe glittery new
crown at New York dinner
Thuradiiy night, only i few
houra nfter NBA Prealdent
Anthony Mnccronl had an
nnunced at Providence, R.I.,
the result of a poll of his
NBA executive committee, ;.
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.
PLAYER SUSPENDED
eSnttle-IUPB-Dewey Soriano,
Pacific Coast League presi
de n 1, announced Thursday
that Frank Barnes, San Diego
pitcher, has been fined $50
and suspended for three days
for profanity and pushing an
umpire In a game at Tucoma
Wednesday night. The fine
and suspension arose out of a
dispute over a called strike on
Barnes by umpire Alex Saler
no. The suspension was effec
tive Immcdiatly, Soriano said.

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."

Mauch claimed he wasn't
protesting the call but asked
two Philadelphia sportswrit-
crs, "Why didn't you go down
to the scorer and start a dis
cussion after- he called it a
hit?"
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. .
