A $20,000 fighter. with the strength of bull and the punch to go with it worked for peanuts" last night at Municipal Stadium and was giv- en surprisingly tough tussle for eight rounds before he closed strong enough to win the decision with out question, and nearly by knock out. He was Johnny Greco of Mon- treal, Canada. who had 46-41 point edge on Referee Louis (KiO Kap- lan's scorecard but was only one point in front 36-35 going into the ninth round against Waterburys Benny Singleton, who boxed rings around the Canadian star through out the fight, but could not with stand the heavy body punishment Greco dealt out in the last two rounds.
 A knockout in the ninth and a gaShed eyebrow in the final round nearly brought Greco the K. O.. win that he strived for; but Dr.

United Press Staff Correspondent
 New York, June 19-(UP)-It is splendid tribute to basbeall that General Dwight D. Eisenhower de- sired today's mammoth welcoming program to include Major League game.
 This sandwiching of a ball game into the mightiest welcome ever &C., corded by Americas largest city certainly gives the horsehide sport a magnificent pat on the back.
 General "Ike"-former outfielder of the Abilene, Kans., high school team-made it crystal clear before leaving Europe that he wanted to- day to be B" day, Bwhen he could invade the realm of the hot dog, peanut and home run.
 That's why he and his disting- uished entourage were scheduled to establish their observation post at the Polo grounds at 3 p. m. today for the Braves-Giants game.

Brady BoIsheviks To Meet MiIkmen

Tomorrow night at Scovills Rec reation Field on Meriden road, man. ager Dave Brady will send his all- star softball outfit onto the field to play the Milkmen. Manager Brady wishes to announce the signing up of Edgar Dwyer, former University of Southern California star to pitch. He also has the old reliable Stretch Quinn along with Home Run Marty Scott.
 Jack Daley, last years hitless wonder. has finally come to life this year hitting for 10 consecutive games and manager Brady says he may be batting in the cleanup posi- ton.
 Manager M. Osgood of Brock Hall will send his ace Joe McEvoy to the mound, to carry on his winning streak of 10 games. Ace Doran will catch and bring his big bat. Ray Murray of the Rubber Town will be in the cleanup spot and take the first base position.
 Umpires will be John Quilter of St. Marys and Joe OLesky of Le- high.

Todoy's Sport Parade

letter from Europe to General George c. Marshall, chief of staff in Washington, wrote: T have no sug- gestions to make regarding the en- tire trip, but secretly I hope that New York has that ball game. I really would like to see the big leagues play again"
 Ike, supreme commander of the Allied expeditionary force, is red hot sports fan. In addition to base ball, he likes football, golf, volley ball, riding nd the G. I. indoor pastime-poker. He is an expert poker player.
 Friends in Abiline recall that young Dwight Eisenhower-one of family of six boys-was fine all- round athlete. He distinguished himself at baseball and football in high school there. And he played one game on the Plebe football team at West Point, when he first entered the military academy. In that game. with Tufts, he suffered broken leg ending his competitive athletic career.
 We recall reading a story out of Abilene a couple years ago that young Dwight also was handy with his mitts. It seems that he return ed to Abilene from West Point on a vacation and heard a boxer, Dirk Taylor boast that he could beat anybody in Kansas. Eisenhower took him on before a large gathering of local admirers and knocked him out in two rounds. We do not know if this yarn is true.
 While overseas the general kept in shape by tossing heavy medicine ball with his officers. Whenever he shifted headquarters, the medicine bali accompanied him. He also did as much walking as possible.
 Horace Stoneham, president of the Giants, was scheduled to sit in the generals box today during the game, and bring Ike up to date on his baseball It would be interesting to hear Stoneham's explanation of why Brooklyn is in first place in the Ma tional League, and why the Giants have dropped to fourth, losing IT of their last 21 games.

This Sporting World
BeIIyIaugh
By JOHN A. CLUNEY

Leave it to a fight fan to bawl out something that will lay you out from laughing. Last night at the Greco-Singleton show in the muni- cipal stadium, there appeared tall, skinny, partly-bald gent tagged Irish Johnny Donahue" to face the wild-swinging and left-handed Os- car St. Pierre of Fall River in a scheduled eight round bout which went on after the main event. Don ahue clambered into the ring hud- dled in a green bathrobe that has seen better days. He looked like a fugitive from the Dachau concen- tration camp. While one fan asked who's the Shadow?" another want ed to know who dug him up from "old St. Joes". But the crack that left half the ringsiders limp with laughter was this: that guy looks like a 4-F from the SPANISH AMERICAN WAR" (PS-Mr. D lasted 2 roundS).

Joseph Slavin allowed the last round to finish out after he examined Singleton's brow which was opened by heavy punch.
 In any event, Singleton certainly made the general opinion look silly the opinion that laid to l that Greco would stop him; the opinion that he would not fo five rounds and the opinion that his managers had thrown him to the wolves" tc get big pay night. The show drew $4,300 and about 2,000 fans, the crowd being held down by threatening weather.
 Bewildered
 Singleton showed no signs of fear, stabbing Greco repeatedly with a great left hand from the first 1ound on and by the end of the third; Greco seemed actually be- 1ildered, as he waited to comout against l9-year old kid he and his managers had underrated more than little because of Singleton's three defeats within the past Six months. Greco began to score to the body, and Benny tried to tie him up, thereby being guilty of con siderable holding rather than gel his head knocked into the perman- ent football stands at the field.
 Whether or not Greco was loaf ing" or just could not handle the colored kid as easily as he expected was uncertain, but he did "go tc work" in the ninth round leaving the impression that he could have done it earlier, butt he fact re- mains that he could not and die not knock Singleton out though he all but stopped him in the ninth and tenth rounds.
 The winner, bull-shouldered mild-mannered young man made million" friends on his first visit to Waterbury, all of whom Woulo be glad to see him again against the best opponent procurable. A: for Singleton. the kid fought hi best and though his best was moi good enough, he never quit for al instant and though defeated by much better fighter, certainly wa: not disgraced. They weighed within four ounces of each other; Greco 143; Singleton, 143A.

 GRAMMAR LOOP
 '45 CHAMPIONS

Mary Abbott public school base ball team of 1945, coached by Dr.. Joe May, will go down in the athle- tic records of the far north end in- stitution as its first championship squad.
 By it's 9-7 victory over Driggs for the Grammar School title yesterday, the Abbott boys not only won the game and the title the hard" way, bu did it in such spectacular fash ion that the game will be the talk of the north end section of the city for some little time o come.
 Came Through
 Mary Abbot had but one inning left to pick up two runs for tie game, as DriggS, with 10 hits over the route; had 7-5 edge in the last inning that looked as big as a mountain. Yet, they came through like real champions in this fashion: Chirella singled.
 Rinaldi singled. Buonocore walk ed. Joe Aufiero, winning pitcher came to bat with the bases loaded, which is a tough spot for the aver age pitcher in any game. In short order the ball was sailing out over a road; for a three-base-hit that scored three runs; won the ball game, the championship and Aufi- ero also came home when LaRosa bobled the relay from the outfield.
 MA was given but hits, a homer adn single by Neves; off the deliv- cry of Mike Contadini, 1000 bat ter for the game with A for 4" two of them triples. Lawson, Driggs first sacker, was right there" with the wood, too with hits in times up.
 Later on, the new league cham pions will meet the Parochial league title-holder for the city schoolboy championship. Score:
