It was expected the deal would be the answer to Boston'S need of ar1- other winning right-handed twirl- CT to strengthen its sagging mound staff and a hard-hitting, right handed outfielder.
 Wes Terrell, who won 20 and lost 15 for the Sox last season, has been a big disappointment so far this year. winning only two games and losing six. The handsome right handler has been a problem child since he was purchased by the SoX from Cleveland in 1884.
 He reached the peak of tempera- mental display last season when he thumbed his nose to home fans, fre- quently kicked over water buckets and topped it of by walking of the mound without orders in a game against the Yankees at New York. For the latter gesture, he drew a 1000 fine and was suspended in- definitely.
 Terrell broke into the big leagues with Cleveland in 1928. In 1881 he pitched a no-hit, no-run game against the St. Louis Browns. His major league lifetime average is 161 wins and 98 losses.
 His brother, Rick, was purchased from the St. Louis Browns in 1883 and has been first string catcher since. Three weeks ago he suffered a broken hand in game at Wash ington and has been out of the line up since. His place has been taken by Gene Desautels, former Holy Cross star. who now becomes BoS- tons No. backStop.
 Jimmy Bradd0ck Wins
 Philadelphia, June 10-(UP)- The United States circuit court of appeals refused today to grant Ma dison Square Garden an injunction halting the Joe Louis-James J. Braddock heavyweight champion ship fight. The court upheld the decision of Federal Judge Guy L. Fake of Newark, N. J., who pre- viously had refused the Gardens request. Circuit Court Judge John J. Biggs. Jr, said in today's opinion that clause in a previous contract between Braddock, world heavy weight champion, and the Garden which required that he fight his first title defense for the Garden, was not effective in view of later contracts. The fight between Louis and Braddock Is scheduled for June 9 in Chicago.
 In a dissenting opinion, Judge Joseph Burlington, senior member of the court, said that Braddock comes into this court in the posi- tion of lawlessness and unclean hands"
 Moreover" Judge Burlington said, it was apparent that Brad dock contracted for services per- sonal and unique" and "that he is preventing the Garden from carry ing out its contract with Schmeling "a contract the making of which was with Braddock's approval"
 Judge J. Whiteaker Thompson joined with Judge Riggs in refus- ing the injunction.
 The Garden, in its appeal from Judge Fakes ruling, had contended that the Garden suffered "irrepar- able damage" in the good will of the public.
 Judge Biggs' opinion said there was practical repudiation for the reason that heavyweight boxer, through sheer physical limitations, cannot engage in two major con- tests involving the title of worlds heavyweight champion within 19 days"
 Braddock, under the Garden con- tract, was scheduled to fight Max Schmeling June 3, and later agreed to defend his title against Louis in Chicago. Schmeling went through the weighing-in formalities on that date then returned to Germany.
 Judge Riggs said there could be no doubt "that Braddock now stands in breach of his contracts to fight Schmeling under the auspic- es of the Garden"
 This, however" he said, "is hot the question before us. The ques- tion before us is whether or not. within any of the contracts entered into between Braddock and the Garden, a negative covenant exists which this court may enforce <. {. We are forced reluctantly to the conclusion that no such enforceable | negative covenant Is now il1 effect"
