Melee in Giants-Dodgers clash ends with ejections over meathead remark
In a 6-2 Houston win over San Francisco, Ollie Brown was ejected after a clash with umpire Shag Crawford sparked by a shouted meathead insult. Herman Franks claimed the bench was provoked, while Crawford insisted he ejected the correct man. Other NL games saw Reds and Braves also tossed, plus Washington beating Baltimore 2-0 in the AL. Jim Bunning pitched well for Cincinnati, driving in a run and aiding calls that led to Bristol’s ejection.

Late Ticket Sales May Save Cokes Pavilla Fight
In Dallas a late surge in ticket sales could push the welterweight title bout between Curtis Cokes and Francois Pavilla of Paris into a paying proposition tonight. Both guarantees exist with Cokes at $35,000 and Pavilla $7,500 plus expenses, promoter Kenneth Hayles reporting roughly $40,000 in the till and an expected gate around $65,000 to cover costs. Pavilla vows a body-focused, nonstop flurry from start to finish while Cokes relies on reach and counterpunching to retain the title.
