But Pep Is Sad
Over Poor Gate

DETROIT, May 10 tR.-Wily
Willie Pep, former featherweight
champion, was vindicated Of q
CALLING defeat today. but re-
venge left him anything but
thrilled.
The aging Willie danced and
jabbed his way to one of the
most one-sided victories of his
long career last night, gaining a
unanimous 10-round decision
over an inept Gil Cadilli.
1t was a nationally televised
remateh of their March 80 fight
at Parks Air Force Base in Cali
fornia. taken by Cadilli in a
much disputed decision that led
to the suspension of the two
judges.
Pep, who in his day has per-
formed before some of the big
geSt crowds ever to watch a
featherweight bout, was obvi-
ously disappointed when he not

Stadium-744. 1t was the small
est crowd boxing show ever at
tracted in the 25-year history Of
the stadium, which can accom-
modate 10000. Gross gate was
1888.
"How long has it been since I
fought before such small
crowd?" Pep pondered In his
dressing room. "Never-never in
my 16 years. This is it. Why,
/ drew more people than this
even when I was rained out of
a fight"
Pep weighed 128A and Cadilli

Lady Derby's English colt
Acropolis is still favored to win
the EPSON Derby next Wednes-

No Irish-trained colt has won
the English Derby since 1907
when Orby carried the silks of
the late Richard Croker. famous
boss" of New York's Tammany
Hall for many years.
The latest Irish threat is Lady
Ursula Vernon's Hugh Lupus,
who won the Irish Two Thou
sand Guineas yesterday by four
lengths. His odds for the EPSON
Derby Immediately shortened to
10 to /. Rae Johnstone, famed
Australian jockey, rode Hugh
Lupus yesterday.
A total of 80 horses remained
eligible after the final accep-
tances yesterday for the 3-year-
old classic. At a callover last
night at London's Victoria Club,
British bookmakers kept Acrop-

johnson Tells
Of Rejecting
Medical Aid

PHILADELPHIA, May 10 (R.
Harold johnson testified before
the Pennsylvania Athletic Com
mission today that he had re-
jected his managers offer to call
a doctor to the dressing room
shortly before Johnson's sched-
uled light-heavyweight fight with
Julio Mederos.
johnson, who collapsed in the
ring and lost on TKO at the
end of the second round, has
since disclosed that he felt i'll
before the fight, and Athletic
Commission tests have shown
that he was drugged.
But he testified today that he
merely mentioned to Manager
Tommy Loughrey that he had
"a headache" and said nothing
about feeling dizzy, nauseated
and that his arms and legs were
heavy as lead.
johnson returned to the wit
ness stand after a skirmiSh be-
tween the commission and at
torneys for Johnson and others
charged with acts detrimental to
the sport.
Identifies Picture
On the stand yesterday, john
son identified the picture of a
man once imprisoned on mar
cotics charges as the person he
saw in his dressing room the
night of the fight.
The man was identified for
the record as Louis Saccaroma,
also known under the aliases of
Louis Black and Louis Roman.
Police said he had been ar
rested 10 times on narcotics
charges and was paroled in 1858
after serving five years of a To-
year sentence in Lewisburg (Pao
Federal prison for violating the
Federal drug act.
In Miami, however. Saccaro-
ma. who is one OF MenderoS'
three managers, replied:
"It's a damn lie. They're not
going to make me the goat IN
this thing"
Denies Philadelphia Visit
He denied he was in Phila-
delphia the night of the fight.
He said he was in his Miami
home watching the fight on
teleyision. Two of his neigh
bors confirmed his statement.
Saccaroma added, Il served
three years and nine months oil
a 1O-year sentence on mar
cotics charge 20 years ago" He
said that was his only prison
term although he had been ar
rested again in 1851 on num-
bers racket charge but dldn''
serve any time"
johnson testified that Sacca-
roma was not the stranger who
gave him an orange before the
fight. johnson told police the
orange tasted bitter and that ne
believed it was the cause OF his
later SluggiShneSS.
