shouldered Sammy Argott makes
his flrst and probably his last de.
Tense Of the lightweight crown to.
night when he tangles with fast
stepping Allie stols at Madison
Square Garden.
Angott, the windmill walloper Of
Washington, Pa, Is favored at IL.
8 to whip the brown-haired, fawt1.
eyed challenger from Newark, N. J.
II slainmin' Sammy lives up to
the betting odds and retains the
1S5-pound title he won from Stalz'
stableinate, Lew jenkins, In Deem
Der, he plans to put the lightweight
crown In the pantry and start gum
ming for the welterweight diaden.
In fact, Angott Is already tenta-
lively matched for an overweight
match with Ray Robinson ct the
Garden, June il Of 10, In q big
money test tilt that Is expected to
pave the way to a shot at Freddie
Coclrane's welterweight bonnet.
Tough Task
Angott Is favored over Saolz be-
cause Of his ruggedness, stamina
and unorthodox style. His rare
combination Of wrestling tactics
and blistering pace is expected to
wear down the challenger who will
attempt the 15-round rout for the
first time. Angott, at ~, Is one Of
the toughest customers in any de
vision. Although lacking q knock
out punch, he doles out leather
from gong to gong and has such o
steel chin that no one has kaoyed
or stopped him in more than 100
professional battles.
Brown-haired, trifn-built Stolz
cartoonist son Of a Newark tailor,
has considerable backing because Of
his youth, speed, boxing skill and
punch. At 23, artful Allie looked
like q world beater in his last fight
when he won with ease from the
highly touted Bobby Ruffln.
If Std1z takes the crown, he will
bring to New jersey its third cur
rent title-adding the 1S5-pourd
laurels to the light heavyweight
and welterweight crowns worn by
Cue Lesnevich and Cochrane.
