Champ, Says Skipper Parade TIMPS INVADE FORKER FIELD By JACK CUDDY -United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, July 24 tLH Sammy Angott of Washington, Pa., is lightweight champion of the world, but Manager Charley Jones is distressed because neither neith-er the public nor boxing writers apparently appreciate his prowess. prow-ess. Without benefit - of soap, box, "Colonel" Jones of Louisville was holding forth last night at Madison Madi-son Square Garden, orating where the i long back corridor widens near the main event dressing rooms. Jones had a sizeable audience in the corridor, while orelimin-aries orelimin-aries to the boxing doubleheader were being fought in the arena. The fight mob listened, with respect re-spect because he is one of the most popular characters in the came. "I don't know What a feller has to do to get recognLshun now days," moaned the slightly chubby, chub-by, youngish-looking chap with the sun-burned cherub's face. 'An-gott's 'An-gott's done about everything possible pos-sible to prove he's the best lightweight light-weight champeen since Leonard. Disregardless of which, a lotta you fellers still say Angott can't fight. I can't understand it. Why, like the great champeen he is, Angott's always ready ta take on anybody. Remember Bob Montgomery, Mont-gomery, that Philadelphia brown toy that nobuddy wanted to fight. Well, Sammy eteps in and licks him three times, twice with broken hands. "Yes, sir, my Slammln' Sammy Sam-my ain't no fancy-Dan boxer, and he ain't no one-punch knocker-out. knocker-out. He fights anybuddy and licks 'em, just like a little Harry Greb. He's a windmill fighter just like Greb. He ain't been beat by a lightweight since 1939. Only two guys has beaten him since then, both welterweights Frit-zie Frit-zie Zivic and Ray Robinson. He didn't have no return bout with Zivic, but he's havin a return with Robinson right here in the Garden on July 31. And see what happens then." Jones emphasized that after Angott had defended his lightweight light-weight crown successfully against Allie Stolz at the Garden in May, he had plenty of offers, bat he took his third whirl with tough Montgomery at Philadelphia. And then, "Mike Jacobs wants us to fight In the Garden. So he offers us Zivic, who is gettin" a little washed up; Garvey Young, Bobby Bob-by Ruffin, Freddie Archer, and Ray Robinson, who ain't been licked yet. Who does Sammy take? He takes Robinson because he's the toughest and will draw the most money. And he'll lick Robinson this time. He's a great champeen." x Riding along at the head of the Utah Industrial league standings, stand-ings, the Provo Timps are already al-ready top-heavy favorites for the second half title, although they have a tough schedule ahead. The Timps Sunday play American Ameri-can Fork on the Forker diamond at 2:30. The tilt earlier in the week had been switched to Provo, but under a league ruling, the transfer was not authorized and the encounter will go forward as originally scheduled in the American Am-erican Fork jark. In other games Sunday, Helper travels to Brigham and Pinney plays at Gemmell. The Timps, with seven straight victories in the second half race, have beaten every other club in the league once and Helper twice. They should beat American Fork Sunday, although fans expect some trouble since the Forkers held the Timps to a 3-2 win the last time the two clubs met at the poultry city. Earlier in the season American Fork beat the Timps in the same park TEAMS 6LASH HERE SUNDAY AT 8 O'CLOCK Provo's 10-man golf team will tee off against Logan here Sunday at 8 a. m.

Last year the Bees edged out the semipro all-stars, 3-2. The Industrial league boys figure to wallop the Beelets this year. Bob Bullock of Provo, president presi-dent of the league, thinks that each of the seven clubs should be entitled to a maximum of thre men, including the pitcher, and a minimum of one playe This, he says, would make the all-star team truly representative representa-tive of the league and would prevent pre-vent any pne team from dominating dominat-ing the show. Mr. Bullock thinks the fans in all hte Industrial league towns should be given opportunity to select their favorite stars, with the final say going to the manager man-ager and co-manager to be chosen. Bob believes the Industrial league lea-gue has many players far superior super-ior to the Pioneer leapue boys and hopes the all-stars will go out to win decisively. iThe Baseball Standings 1 SHUT OUT IN FAVORED ROLE CHICAGO, July 24 OJ.P) Shut Out from the Greentree stable seeks to clinch the three-year-old turf championship tomorrow ia the $50,000 added Arlington classic.

PIONEER LEAGUE W L Nelson, Little lrtPTto Sit Speedy Pace BY TOMMY DEV1NE United Pres Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, July 24 (UR) Byron By-ron Nelson, the perfectionist of golf, good naturedly warned his opponents in the $15,000 Tam O'Shanter Open today that his game was back at the peak that brought him his last major title the masters of Augusta, Ga. As the second round in tho links' richest prize money event started, Nelson was in a tie for the lead with Lawson Little, the long-hitting Calif ornian from Monterey Park. Both shot five-under-par 67's yesterday as a field of 202 began play. But Nelson wasn't alone In believing his game at a long-sought long-sought for peak. Little expressed a similar idea. "In getting my 67 I hit the ball better than at any time since I won the Natiorial Open at Cleveland back in 1940," he said. As a consequence, Nelson, who took the title here a yeafr ago with a 10 under par 278 total for 72 holes, and Little may be tough to catch. In a position to cause the flying leaders trouble, however, were some other topflight top-flight linksmen. In second place with a 68 was Gib Sellers of Walled Lake, Mich., and just a stroke farther back were Dick Metz of Oak Park, 111., and Clayton Heafner of Linville, N. C. "Chick" Harbert of Battle Creek, Mich.; Jim Ft '.Tier of Elmhurst, 111.; Ky Laffoon and "Wild Bill" Melhorn of Chicago and Jim Milward of Madison, Wis., were deadlocked for the next place with cards of 70.

Mauriello, rangy young Bronx Italian with a slightly crippled right ankle, scored a technical knockout over Red Burman, Baltimore Bal-timore veteran at 2:58 of the ninth round last night in the scheduled 10-round main event at Madison Square Garden. But before referee Frank ie Ful-lam Ful-lam stopped the bout because 6f Burman's badly gashed left brow, ancient Baltimore Red had provided pro-vided such unexpectedly stiff opposition op-position that most of the 10,217 fans were convinced Mauriello will be a quick kayo victim if he ever meets Corp.

Judge George LeCron agreed with the United Press scoring in voting for Hernandez, but Judge Bill Healy and Referee Jed Gahan ballotted for Constantino, who was beaten easily a month ago by Hernandez in an eight-rounder at Dexter Park.
