The Negro Club had things pret- ty much their own way throughout, but were not the sluggers their ad- vance publicity indicated. In fact the Giants are not in the same class with the classy Black Yankees who showed at Municipal Stadium last week and who clash with the Savitt Gems in Hartford tonight.
 Forest Looks Good
 Percy Forest, a thin, lanky kid in his early twenties, toed the rubber for the visitors and did a swell job, allowing but five hits. His only nemesis was Frank Buggy Me- Grath who walloped two of his first pitches for singles which were hits in any ball park. Forest, always smiling, famed eight batsmen and allowed but two All-Stars to reach third base. Double play though on two occasions took him out of -ser- tous trouble.
 Tough for Talcott
 Roy Talcott, who won 27 games and lost but one as a Princeton Uni- versity chucker, gained plenty of personal glory in defeat, for he had the Giants eating out of his hand. However, miscues on the part of his infielders on several easy chances gave the visitors several unearned runs. The looking and easy- going ex-collegian showed plenty of speed and eight of the colored clout- CTS went back to the bench on strikes. Had Talcott had an infield behind him the Giants would never had pushed over six runs.
 Winnie Junior Carroll of the Washington Hills relieved Talcott in the final frame and hurled hit less ball, moving down three con- secutive batsmen. He also opened the eight with a long doublbe center, went to third on an infield out, but was left stranded.
 Proceeds Pleasing
 An eStimated 1000 fans watched the game, including several hundred who remained outside the turnstiles to view proceedings from the road and adjacent hills. It is expected close to $10O will be turned over to Navy officials after expenses are paid. Following the game two local Marine Recruiters showed moving pictures for full hour.
 So successful was last nights twi- light contest, Bob Kiersted, Eddie DiNapoli, Rixey Dwyer and Bob BanNger of the City Amateur League are contemplating bring ing the Baltimore Elite Giants to Hamilton Park for a twilight con- test next Thursday.

In booking the New York Police, team which holds the record for exhibition game attendance locally the BraSsco management has se- cured one of the busiest and most in demand white club outside of the big league. The Saturday night booking was made in order to afford the hundreds of fans who are com pelled to work in defense plants the majority of the other nights in the week, a chance to see a real diamond attraction.
 The BraSscos will be strengthed for the Police game by the addition of several newcomers including Sam PonN of Torrington at first base, Tommy Mains in the outfield and Pete Francello at second base. Mains and Mrancello also cavort with the Kingston Colonials. The rest of the Brassco lineup will be intact.
 Tommy Sheehan of the West Sailors and Savitt Gems will do the catching; Lou Ucich, who gave a superb pitching performance, will be on the mound; Jack Tyler at short; Bobby Ray at third, Mains, Rossomondo and Billy Moore in the outfield. Manager Davi also has lines out for two more pitcher to work at regular intervals through out the season.
 The Brasscos will have to be at their best against the Cops. Their reputation as baseball players prac- tically supersedes that as policeman, and this season especially they have one of their finest clubs in years. Within the past three weeks they have scored victories over the Mo hawk Giants, Baltimore Black Sox, the Grumman Bombers, Jim Bar toms Nighthawks, two over the Long Island Rosebuds and one over the West Haven Sailors.
 The Police team is managed by Roy Auer, the former International star, who is reputed to be one of the cagieSt chuckerS in the profess

 When the Browns are at home, Berardino, 25, plans to commute between 8 flying school and Sportman's Park. He is deter mined to have his hours in by the end of the season.
 GORDON OF YANKEES
 ALSO CIVILIAN PILOT
 I'm not the only ball player who's flying" he points out. "Joe Gordon of the Yankees tells me he has 90 hours in tn air. He may be working for the same thing"
 Berardino has no compunction about his Army failure. It was not case of fear or lack of in- telligence but simply an inability to fly the Army way.
 'They called it insufficient prog ress,'" he explains, with unashamed candor. That covers a lot of ground guess I just reached a certain stage of development and stayed there.
 "They check you every 25 hours. If you're not moving right along goodbye. They may have lowered the entrance require ments but they certainly haven't lowered the graduation standards" :"
 The young infielder, who hit .271 for the Brownies last season and socked across a commendable 89 rurnS, volunteered for flying service before Pearl Harbor. He was not threatened by the draft at the time. The flying bug bit him and in he went.
 He kisSsd the wife goodbye in January and reported to the Chand- Ter, Ariz., Air Corps Replacement Center. Five weeks of drill and mill itary courtesies, and he was off for Cal-Aero Flying Academy at Con- tario, Calf. He accumulated 30 solo hours before washing out in his up- per basic training.
 BERARDINO COULDN'T
 FLY BY SEAT OF PANTS
 Berardino was at shortstop for the Browns last year, but the fine play of rookie Vernon Stephens probably will make him a second baseman again this season. He played this position in the minors and alternated there his first two years with the Browns.
 Is he in shape? Physically, I'm in great shape. My batting eye is dull, and my legs are little be- low baseball standards. didn't play any ball in the Air Corps, but I'll be ready in a couple of weeks"
 To reverse the usual question: How does it feel to be OUT of the Army? T hated to wash out. The life was great, and I'm crazy about flying.
 There's an old Army saying that you've got to be able to fly by the seat of your pants. I don't know just what that means. Something about being sensitive to pressure changes there. didn't have it."
 You can hardly criticize Johnny Berardino for that.
 He doesn't play baseball that way, either.

 New York, July A = (U.P0 = Sammy Angott of Washington, Pa, is lightweight champion of the world, but Manager Charley Jones is distressed because neither the public nor boxing writers apparently ap- preciate his prowess.
 Without benefit of soap box, "Col- onel" Jones of Louisville was hold ing foxth last night at Madison Square Garden, orating grandilo- quently where the long back corri- dor widens near the main event dressing rooms.
 Jones had a sizeable audience in the corridor, while preliminaries to the boxing double header were being fought in the Arena. The fight mob listened with respect because he is one of the most popular characters in the game.
 T don't know what a feller had to do to get recognishun now days" " moaned the slightly chubby, young ish-looking chap with the sum- burned cherub's face. "Angott's done about everything possible to prove he's the best lightweight champeen since Leonard.
 Disregardless of which, lotta you fellerS still say Angott can't fight. l can't understand it. Why, like the great champeen he is, Angott's al- ways ready to tackle anybuddy. He ain't choosy. Remember Bob Monts gomery, that Philadelphia Brown boy that nobuddy wanted to fight? Well, Sammy steps in and licks him three times, twice with broken hands.
 "Yes, sir, my Slammin' Sammy ain't no fancy-dan boxer, and he ain't no one punch 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 -Fritzie Zivic and Ray Robinson. He didn't have no return bout with Zivic, but he's shavin' a return with Robinson right here in the Garden on July 31. And see what happens then"
 Jones emphasized that after An- gott had defended his lightweight crown successfully against Allie Stolz as :t.e Gar6s1; ir1 May, he had plenty of offers, but he took his third whiri with tough MOntgom-

'WPB Order 10 Compel
Auto Paris Salvage
Goes Into Effect
Motorists Must Turn In
Worn-Out Materials at
Time Of Replacement

The War Production Board order
requiring worn-out auto parts 10 he
turned in at the same time new
parts are obtained went into effect
today with disposal of the scrap
left largely in the hands of dealers.
A WPB spogesman said dealers
would be permitted to use their dis
cretion as to how quickly the old
parts are sent to scrap channels.
provided it is done within 30 days
after they are received. This time
limit has been fixed, 1t was ex-
planned, to keep scrap material
moving.
Dealers have been ordered to sup
ply new parts for worn-out parts
only when the used parts cannot be
reconditioned.
To avoid littering their shops,
some local dealers said instead of
requiring the used part to be left
with them, they would release the
new part on presentation of a re-
ceipt showing that the old part had
been turned over to a junk dealer.
Application of the order today
brought no change of procedure In
most Instances. A majority of the
approximately $50 dealers, notified
of the impending WPB move, al
ready had put it into effect as
step to cooperate with the war ef-
fort and in order to get the public
accustomed to the new requirement.
In addition, some auto parts hereto
fore have been considered exchange
parts and were replaceable only
after the used part had been turned
in.
Local dealers estimated the plan
will save several hundred thousand
pounds of metal each year, but WPB
officials were of the opinion the
move would produce little more
scrap than usual. The advantage.
they explained. will be that 1t will
speed the rate at which old parts
are placed In scrap circulation.
