COLLAPSES IN RING
Drug Tests Awaited
After johnson TKO

PHILADELPHIA, May 7 (P.-
Laboratory tests are expected to
prove today whether Harold
johnson, No. l light-heavyweight
title contender, was drugged or
the victim of a stupefying punch
by Julio Mederos. Cuban heavy
weight, at the Arena last night.
The 26-year-old johnson, a
4-to-1 favorite. failed to answer
the bell for the third round of a
scheduled 10-rounder and Me-
deros was awarded the victory on
technical knockout. johnson
collapsed in his corner and had
to be removed on a stretcher.
Alfred Klein, State athletic
commissioner, told reporters that
there was something definitely
mysterious about what happened
to johnson. The doctors believe
he may have been drugged. We
will conduct a thorough investi-
CATION"
Evening star., 1955-05-07

Jimmy White, manager of Me-
deros, dismissed the talk as non
sense. White said his fighter
belted johnson groggy with a
right hand at the bell ending the
first round. Mederos, who lost a
decision to johnson in Miami
last December, gained his 18th
victory in % fights.
Johnson spent the. night at
Hahnemann Hospital, where q
blood test and urinalysis was
| performed. He is expected to
be released today. The story told
by Johnson's handlers centers
around an orange.
Clarence Skinny Davidson,
Johnson's trainer, said the fight
er began acting queer" in his
dressing room after taking a
bite of the orange. He told Klein
and reporters that johnson COM
planned the orange was bitter
He said the Philadelphia light
heavyweight staggered about the
dressing room, but that johnson
claimed he felt fine before en-
tering the ring.
Stumbles Entering Ring
johnson did stumble entering
the ring, but it was thought he
tripped over a rope. In the first
round the Philadelphia danced
around, stabbing Menderos with
sharp left jab. But just before
the bell the 22-year-old Cuban
caught him with a solid right
to the chin. johnson staggered
to his corner and his seconds
worked feverishly.
JohnSon's eyes were CLASSY as
he came out for the second
round. However, he managed to
keep his jab and run attack un-
til suddenly. without a blow be-
ing struck. he fell to his knees.
He regained his feet and Me-
deros, sensing that johnson was
out on his feet, rushed in for the
kill. The Cuban didn't appear
to land any damaging punches
but when the bell rang johnson
again tottered toward his corner
He had trouble locating the stool
and finally fell off the stool.
Doctors Examine johnson
Drs. Joseph Ayello and Wilbur

The way Herb Score and Bob
Turley have American League
batters tanning the breeze these
days, it may be that Bobby
Feller's strikeout record will have
to dust itself off and keep an
eye on its first real challenge.
Feller's achievement is a phan-
tom that's never been chased
Those 348 strikeouts Bobby
whipped home in 1916 haven't
even bothered to sneer at recent
totals.
Robin Roberts 1913 strikeouts
in 1853 were the closest anyone
ever came to Feller's mark.
Score Beats Feller's Pace
Score, the 20-year-old lefty
Cleveland has touted as a south
paw Feller, actually is ahead OF
Feller's pace. After his first five
appearances in '46, Feller had
whitfield 48. Score after five
games has famed SO.
Turley, at the same five-game
milestone, has struck out 46.
Both Score and Turley, the
24-year-old right-hander of the
Yankees, are a bit ahead OF
Feller's season long average of
eight strikeouts per nine innings.
Feller, back from three and a
half years in the Navy and %
years old, worked in 48 games
back in as, adding up 3721a
innings. He won %, lost 16.
Roberts was 23-16 for the Phillies
in A games and 3462s innings
in '53.
Turley Shuts Out Boston
Turley, who worked only 247la
innings for Baltimore while ty-
ing Roberts for the major league
strikeout crown with 1875 last
season, picked up ground on
Score yesterday. tanning 13 in
a two-hit, 60 victory over Bos-
ton. Score set. down 10 in a
three-hit, Al success against
Kansas City.
In other American League
games, Virgil Trucks held De-
troit to two hits for a 10 Chicago
victory while Washington edged
Baltimore. 2-1.
In the National League, Brook
lyn remained a winner. beating
Philadelphia, Ga, in IL innings;
Pittsburgh made it six straight.
80, over New York; Cincinnati
beat Chicago, AZ, and Milwaukee
beat ST. Louis, 8-5.
Turley, who pitched a one
hitter against the White Sox just
last week, had another one-hit-
ter in hand with two out in the
ninth. But Bill Klaus beat out
an infield roller and Turley ended
it by tanning pinch hitter Sam
Mele. 1t was Turley's fifth VIC
tory without defeat, best in the
majors, and the shutout lowered
his earned run average to 1.40.

seven hits in a game marked by
two hassles. The Senators ac-
cumulated eight hits, including
three triples and two doubles,
and saw light-hitting Bob Kline
chip in with three singles.
The Senators scored in the
second inning off loser Saul Rog-
OWN when Jim Busby tripled
and scored on Kline'S single.
The Orioles tied the score in the
fourth when Chuck Diering
singled, went to third on Gil

Then came, the debates.
Mickey Vernon doubled to open
the Senator's sixth and Sievers

line in front Of him.
Busby Crashes into Triandos
They crashed head-on and
Busby was carried from the field
on stretcher, but suffered only
a minor cut on his left jaw and
will be back in action tonight.
Jim was called out for inter-
ference. which touched off a
lively debate involving Dresser,
Coach Cookie Lavagetto. Catcher
Ed FITZGERALD and Umpires
Frank Umont and Ed Rommel.
Dresser lodged a protest, based
on his claim that Umont had
called the ball foul. then switched
his decision, after comforting
with Richards, which Richards
threatened to protest.
Richards got around to pro-
testing officially in the seventh
after Kline singled. Stone sacri-
feed, but Rogovin tripped him
after fielding Stones bunt along
the first base line and Dean was
ruled safe on interference.
After the arguments subsided
the Senators produced the VIM
ming run in the eighth when
Pete Runnels tripled off the
rightfield fence and scored on
Vernon's fly to Diering in center.
Vice President Calvin Griffith
and Dresser both soft-pedaled
trade talk but admitted negoti-
ations are continuing with sew

Slim Johnny Schmitz. a stand
out among the Senators. pitchers
with three victories in as many
starts, plus pair of sparkling
relief appearances. will attempt
to preserve his clean slate to-
night at the expense of the
Orioles when the Senators pur-
sue third straight win. Game
time is 8 o'clock.
Washington's 81 victory over
Baltimore before 5,262 fans at
Griffith Stadium isn't official yet,
since Manager Paul Richards of
the Orioles joined Manager
Chuck Dresser of the Senators
in protesting the game. The
Senators like their chances of
getting the nod. however, for
Richards is appealing a Judgment
play and probably will get no sat-
isfaction from American League
headquarters.
Dresser, discovering victories
all too rare, naturally withdrew
his squawk when the Senators
won. Both managers protested
on interference plays.
Schmitz Looking Good
Schmitz, left-handed 34-year-
old National League reject, could
be headed for his most enjoyable
season since he compiled an 18-
13 record with the Chicago Cubs
in 1948. He has permitted only
one run in his last % innings
and will enter tonight's tussle
with a glowing ISL earned-run
average.
Johnny will be opposed by an
other former National Lacquer.
Jim Wilson, a Highlander. who
pitched a no-hit game for Mil
waukee against the Phillies last
June Searching for his first
win, Wilson isn't taken lightly
by the Senators. In his only
start against them this season
he restricted them to three hits
in seven innings, but emerged a
80 loser. 3D.
Little Ernie Oravetz will re-
main in rightfleld for the Sem
ators, Dresser said. Restored to
duty last night, Ernie went hit
less. but his batting average is
an encouraging 1888 and Dresser
will be inclined to string along
with him.
Can Use Ernie's Singles
"On the road. where the fences
are shorter, I thought it might
be to our advantage to play Juan
Delis, who has the power to stick
them in the stands" Dresser
said. "In this ball park, though,
we can use Ernie's singles"
