LOS ANGELES, July 2.-There
was gay music in the Cantinas and
unrestrained JOY in Little Mexico
today. Little Mexico, after years
OF dreams and wasted hope, had a
world champion fighter.
Young Richard Lemos, born
within the shadow of the old mis-
sion in the heart of Los Angeles,
won the National Boxing Associa-
ton featherweight title last night
with a spectacular 5-round knock
out over Petey Scalzo of New York.
For four rounds the two fought
on even terms. Then. as the fifth
started, Lemos, something of an
oddity because he is a switch-hit-
ter, shifted to southpaw style and
proceeded to wreck the game little

Lemos crowded ScalZo into the

him with that TNT-loaded left
swing. For fully a minute he kept
Petey hemmed in. Referee Benny
Whitman finally stepped in and
separated them. Lemos rushed
Scalzo across to the opposite ropes
and let fly with a left haymaker.
Scalzo dropped for count. He
was in distress when he reached his
feet. His jaw was wide open. One
more left started. 1t hit its target,

PHILADELPHIA, July 2.-For the
second time in a week. the Mats will
reap the financial reward of the
Yankee pennant surge and the con-
tinual clouting of Joe Di Maggie
when they invade New York for a
doubleheader on Friday. Yankee
Stadium already is an assured sell
out.
No great artistic successes. the
Mats lately have been fortunate in
sordid money matters. Washington
still is courting the American
League cellar and its woes are
mounting, but it suddenly has be-
come akin to dropping weeks
salary on the nags only to return
home and learn your Uncle Cedric
succumbed and left you lots of green
stuff.
This has been a disturbing season
for the Mats, but it rapidly is pre-
Senting a soothing side to those who
pay the bills. Washington's draw
ing power isn't one of the teams
charms, but some satisfactory situa-
tions recently have arisen TO stir
the public and the Mats have been
around to collect.
For the July 4 affair. the Yankees
could easily establish a Yankee
Stadium baseball attendance record.
Edward G.. Barrow. president of the
Yankees, has wired Secretary Ed
ward B. Eynon, jr., of the Mats
that the doubleheader advance sale
has been the best in Yankee Sta
dium history.
Attendance Ceiling Erected
Preventing a new attendance rec
ord, though, will be the fact that
Barrow never again will be inclined
to pack the park as he did two years
ago when New York and Boston
clashed in a twin bill before more
than $4,000. On that occasion
citizens were crammed in every
available squating place. including
the rafterS, and Barrow then stated
he never again would permit the
stadium to be that jammed.
Some 77000, though, will be pres
ent to view the Yankees, Di Maggie
and the unveiling of memorial to
Lou Gehrig That Washington will
be playing is incidental, but ex-
tremely heartening to the boys in
the Mats front office.
Sid Hudson, who with Dutch
Leonard will pitch for the Mats on
Friday, will be sent home to rest
for possible participation in the

Hudson probably will pitch the first
three innings for the American
League entry, with Thornton Lee
of Chicago and Bob Feller of Cleve-
land expected to be nominated as
toilers in that order.
Hudson wouldn't pitch in Bos-
ton. anyway" says Manager Bucky
Harris. and there wouldn't be
much sense in him accompanying
the team there If he gets good
rest. believe he'll be started III the
all-star game. providing he makes
an acceptable showing against the
Yankees.
Hudson Anxious to Pitch.
Il wouldn't be surprised to see
Cecil Travis play the whole game at
third base" continues Bucky. Il
imagine the National League will
use Bucky Walters, Whitlow Wyatt
and Claude Passeau, so it's logical
that against those right-handers
Travis left-handed hitting will
represent the best bet"
Gosh. I hope I get to work in
that game" enthuses the youthful
Hudson. 1T certainly would be an
honor"
Travis. who doesn't excite easily,
says, "Ah sho will try to do nah
best if they use me-" Not operating
against his chances of being en-
ployed is the fact Cecil belted at
500 clip in the Mats last 3-game
visit to Briggs Stadium. Manager
Del Baker of the Tigers, who will
pilot the American Leaguers. has
seen Cecil thump Detroit pitching
gleefully all season and has been
impressed.
Meanwhile, the Mats were hoping
to salvage some solace here today
after being Inundated, 10-1. by the
Athletics last night before 13840
customers. Washington collid e d
with one Bill Marchildon. who
dented what remains of the Mats
pride.
Not until one was out in the
eighth inning did the Mats obtain
a hit off the youthful Canadian
ight-hander. Until that point the
Mats had succeeded in placing only
four men on base through the
medium of walks. but Jimmy Blood
worth wrecked Marchildon'S bid for
a no-hitter by bouncing a double
off the right field fence. Buddy
Myer then batted for Alexandra
Carrasquel and singled off short
stop Al Brancato's glove. but George
Archie drilled into a double play
to prevent Washington score.
Zuber Pitches Today.
Washington finally constructed a
run in the ninth when Buddy Lewis
singled to right, moved to third on
Travis looping double to left and
scored as Mickey Vernon grounded
out.
While the Mats were accumula ting
four hits, the Athletics were pound
ing washington pitching for 16
safetieS. They nicked Steve Sundra
for two runs in the first inning and
when Sam Chapman whacked a
homer into the upper deck of the
left field stands. scoring Bob john
son and Dick Siebert ahead of him,
Sundra vacated the premises before
retiring anybody in the third inning.
Carrasquel took over and allowed
only two runs in the five frames
he labored, but in the ninth the
AS poured it on Walter Masterson
for three more runs, two of which
were the result of Siebert's homer
over the right field fence after
johnson had singled.
Bill Zuber, whose nine-hit pitching
against the Red Sox last Saturday
fascinated Harris, was TO facs the
AS Johnny Babich today. Tho Mats
