Fans Continue Battle
After Angott Gets
Arizmendi Draw
Police Toll 10 Minutes
To QueII Volunteers;
Remotch Is Likely
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LOS ANGELES, June 26.-Eight
thousand boxing fans-some of
whom may be readily identified by
black eyes and mashed noses-would
like to see a rematch between Light
weight Champion Sammy Angott
and Baby Arizmendi.
These two battled so ferociously
for 10 rounds last night that dozen
or so belligerent gents in the audi
ence wanted to keep the action going
and did.
Draw Verdict Starts Fight.
Lieut.. Jack Kennedy, who years
ago was rated a first class referee,
touched off the fisticuffs in the
crowd-he called the fight a draw
1t took police 10 minutes to separate
the combatants.
The general consensus was that
Arizmendi, hero of manv torrid
engagement, had won by a decisive
margin. He scored a clear knock
down in the fourth round over the
National Boxing Association cham
pion several other times staggered
him and closed with rush. Three
times Angott had to hold on, al
though it was difficult to tell whether
Sammy was holding on because he
was hurt, or was just holding on.
The Louisville slugger maintained
an aggressive pace, however, and,
while warned four times for butting,
he made the baby produce every
minute. His title was not at stake.
Might Have Mixed EN-.
At the end Of the eighth Kennedy
followed his quaint custom of tolling
off the round count. He gave An
gott five. Arizmendi two and one
even. Many ringside critics thought
the venerable lieutenant had the
fighters mived. When Arizmen-
di, by Kennedy's own count, cap
tured the last two heats, 1t didn a
appease the rabid AriZmendi follow
ers when he lifted both boys hands.
Angott weighed 139. Arizmendi
1874. Whether they will meet again
remained to be decided by Match
maker Jimmy Murray.

Open Golf Honors

OSTERVILLE, Mass, June 26.-
Lanky Horton Smith missed getting
into the recent national open golf
playoff by just one stroke with a 288,
but ironically connected with 287 to
capture the 1910 Massachusetts, open
crown over the Oyster Harbors
course yesterday.
His tally was four strokes better
than that of Gene Andersen, Oyster
Harbors pro.
Smiths 72-hole triumph marked
the end of lengthy famine stretch
ing back to March. 1887, when he won
his last individual title in the north
and south.
The Oak Park Gll) pros pair OF
70s, 73 and IA in the four rounds
supplied ample proof his entire game
was functioning as soundly as in the
days when he came blazing out of
Joplin, Mo-, into the national golfing
picture.

PHILADELPHIA, June 26.-Early
showers threatened to postpone for
the third consecutive day the open
ing round Of the 56th annual na-
tional intercollegiate tennis tourna-
ment at the Merton Cricket Club.
Play was washed out Monday and
wet grounds prevented competition
yesterday.
Chafing at the bit along with
other contestants was top-seeded
Don McNeill of Kenyon College, who
announced that winning the i'ter-
collegiate would mean more to him
than his recent victory in Chicago
over Bobby Riggs for the United
States mems clay court title.
There is something about he
college spirit that is hard to beat"
McNeill declared. Riggs, Parker ard
the other nationally ranked 10 play
ers are better, ! think, but there is
another angle when you stack up
against these fellows that give their
all for dear alma mater
You know would have defaulted
in Chicago If there had been match
after rain postponed the final until
Monday, the same day the intercol-
legiates were scheduled to open at
Merton"
McNeill, a native of Chikasha,
Okla, was graduated from Kenyon
at Gambler, Ohio, this month and it
will be the last crack at the COL
legiate title for the third national
ranking player.
He has mapped out an extensive
tournament campaign for the sum-

Kehoe, Fields, March Expected
To Garner Points in A. A. u.
Title Games at Fresno

Although a fourth place in the
half-mile jog, authored by Jimmy
Kehoe, was the best Washington's
little band of trackmen did in the
National Collegiate A. A. games at
Minneapolis last Saturday, the pros
poets for dragging down few blue
ribbons in the National A. A. U. meet
Saturday at Fresno, Calf, appear
much brighter. At least that is the
consensus of coaches and critics.
This, of course, does not include
Al Blozis, Georgetown's shot-putter,
who will compete under the New
York Athletic Clubs banner in the
shot and discus and who should do
well enough for himself Washing
ton will be represented by Kehoe,
Harry March and Tommy Fields.
Mason Chronister, who was fourth
in the mile at Minneapolis, has re-
turned home to undergo a physical
examination for a Marine Corps
commission.
"Swede" Eppley, Maryland coach,
who brought Kehoe to his present
position, thinks his protege will do
as we'll If not better than fourth in
the A. A. U. games. He points out
that Kehoe should be much better
on a dry track and, although con-
ditions were the same for all con-
testants at Minneapolis, will show
his rivals faster finishing kick.
Also, 1t is not certain whether or
not Ed Burrowes of Princeton will
compete this week. He was one of
three who finished ahead of Jimmy
in the N. c. A. A. games and if out
of competition it will mean one less
runner for the slim Bel Air bounder
to beat.
AS for Fields, who was unplaced
In the 2-mile gallop, he'll be running
in the Furnishing 3,000-meter grind,
but running distance he is accus-
toned to and one which his rivals
may find distasteful. You see, the
race has attracted most of the COL
legian 2-milers who have trained
especially for that distance, while
Fields also has done much cross
country running and may find 5000
meters to his liking. -Four miles is
the usual distance for hill and dale
hiking, and it tries runners stam-

an abundance of staying power.
March, North Carolina star,
found the ITO and 220 yard hurdles
much too short at Minneapolis, and
undoubtedly will feel more at home
in the 400-meter timber race this
week. He took a similar race at the
Penn relays with ease, outdistancing
Warren Wittens of Penn: Gilbert
Farrow, Xavier, and Johnny Scales,
Michigan State, with plenty to spare
after losing his stride-and about 5
valuable yards, early in the race. He
figures to at least be in the money
