1500 Lawrence Fans Will See Athletics Play
A contingent of 1500 baseball fans will leave Lawrence at 6 p.m. Friday, May 27, in 22 buses for the baseball game in Kansas City between the league-leading Cleveland Indians and the Kansas City Athletics.
Less than 200 tickets out of the original block of 1500 are left, Frank W. McDonald, chairman of the committee in charge of arrangements said today. The tickets, which cost $1.85, can be purposed at the First National Bank.
The buses have all been filled but people going in private cars can join the caravan which will leave from the Union Pacific viaduct on north second street at about 6 p.m. The Kansas highway patrol will lead the procession to the state line and the Missouri highway patrol will take over there and take the caravan on to the Athletic's stadium.
A brief ceremony will take place at home plate before the game at which Ernie Quigley, former athletic director of the University and an umpire and official in the National league for 32 years, will present Ernie Mehl, sports editor of the Kansas City Star, a plaque in recognition of his successful efforts in bringing the A's to Kansas City.

Johnson Back To Stand Today
Philadelphia—(U.P.)—Harold Johnson returns to the witness chair for further examination today after testifying that an ex-convict visited his dressing room before his bout with Julio Mederos.
Highpoint of Johnson's appearance on the stand at a Pennsylvania Athletic commission inquiry yesterday was his testimony that Louis Scacaroma of Miami, Fla., was among the many men who sauntered in and out of his quarters before the nationally televised bout May 6.
Johnson lost on a technical knockout when he blackened out on his ring stool at the end of the second round. A medical report showed he was drugged. The finding prompted Gov. George M. Leader to suspend pro boxing in the state for 90 days pending an investigation.
