STOLZ FIGHTS ANGOTT FOR TITLE TONIGHT SAMMY FAVORED OVER CONTENDER IN CROWN BOUT Pennsylvanian To Risk His Title Against New ark Boxer BY SID FEDER NEW YORK. May 14.— —'The betting boys and girls have finally decided it’s about time they stop ped giving Sammy Angott the “brush-off.” This practice of cold-shouldering the dark little man from Louisville and Washington (Pa.) has cost them quite a bit in the past few years. As a result, they've instal led Sammy a 1 to 2 favorite to make the first defense of his world lightweight title a successful one at 10 p. m. (EWT) tomorrow night in Madison Square Garden against the classy Newark boxer, Allie Stolz. This will be the first time the business of busting beaks has been on display in the garden since the circus moved with its own freaks and animals and such six weeks ago. And. while Promoter Mike Jacobs admits the circus is good, too. he figures this title offering and the long lapse between fights will make the customers sit up and take notice — with cash. He wouldn’t be at all surprised, in fact, if some 15,000 contributed to a gross gate of $40,000. In Stolz, Angott meets not only the best boxer among the little men since Lou Ambers decided he’d had enough, but the curly - haired Jerseyan also is rated among the better belters in the division, es pecially with a right hand. Al though he was ready to quit the sport a couple of years ago be cause of a sinus ailment and actu THALIAN HALL TONIGHT Nay 15th 8:40 p. m.

NO ADVANCE IN PRICES tickets on sale ORTON HOTEL k-“ ally did hang up the gloves for nearly eight months — Allie has come along so rapidly in the last year that veteran lightweight ex perts, like ex-champs Frank Eme and A1 Singer, pick him to win. Although he’s not one of your rugged wallopers, and is built on the frail side—almost too frail to stand up against Angott’s huski ness and body bombs—Allie’s fight ing equipment should be enough to carry him through this one. This corner tabs him to take the title by a decision over the 15-round derby route. On the other hand, Angott brings up to this tussle the condidence the | title always gives a fighter. He has whipped just about every clout ! er of any consequence among the 135-pounders, taking the title from Lew Jenkins and giving Philadel phia Bob Montgomery a fair coun try going over in recent months. One of the least spectacular fel lows ever to hold the crown, the quiet little family man depends on ■a boring in, body belting, crowd ing style that may be just the thing to make Stolz’s long-range Sunday shots as ineffective as a race-horse with three legs. Incidentally. Stolz is a stable mate of the swashbuckling, street fighting Jenkins, who lost the crown to Angott. but any other similarity between the two is pure ly coincidental. 3 -V -The Baseball Standings YESTERDAYS RESULTS: American League St. Louis 6; Boston 3.
