AL STOLTz OR JIMMY HATCHER
 MAY COME HERE.
Dance Plans to Match Either With DOugherty
 or Roach

A shot at either Jimmy Hatcher, classy South Carolina lightweight, or Allie Stolz, may be one of the rewards for the winner of the eight round return bout between Willie Roach and Matt Dougherty Friday night at Randolph Cloves stadium.
 Matchmaker Mickey Dance has been negotiating with handlers of both Hatcher and Stolz and 1t Is likely that one of the two will meet either Dougherty or Roach here within the next month.
 Roach, terrific puncher with either hand, had Hatcher on the deck in losing a split decision to the latter in Baltimore and is anxi- ous for a return bout. Dougherty who has had but 38 professional encounters, has already met such nationally known fighters as Leo Kodak and Willie Joyce and would welcome chance at either Hatcher or Stolz.
 Dougherty managed to elude enough of Willie's haymakers last week to be awarded the decision over the Wilmington, Del, negro. But there were more than a few of the 1,50O excited fans in the stadium who believed that Roach's harder hitting and aggressiveness entitled him to the nod-or at least draw Hard Hitters
 Larney Moore and Jerry Fiorello two welterweights who hit like 200- -pounders-will square off in the second eight-rounder.
 Moore gained a large following in losing a close decision to Irish Eddie Dolan last week while Fiorello is a newcomer. Jerry has beaten Pete MuScarnera, Cat Robinson, Oliver White and Francesca Mon- taneri and holds kayo over Irwin Kay Kaplan.
 Ham Willoughby of Brooklyn, rated the worlds sixth best bantam weight, and Don Mclean of New York, will meet in a six-rounder. Willoughby made a tremendous hit in defeating Earl Roys here year ago and has come long way since that time. Mclean is 8 newcomer but is said to be a rough, tough club fighters.
 Al Renick, Hartford 150-pounder, and Wilfred Shanks, good-looking Canadian youngster, will clash in one four-rounder, while second will match Spec Wiley, Naugatuck heavyweight, with a capable op- ponent.

(Reg. U. s. Pat. OR.) By JACK CUDDY

United Press Staff C0rrespOndent)
 Goshen, N. Y. Aug. 13.-(UP)- Ancient Ben White. the wizard of colts, is the first triple Hambleton- Ian winner in trotting history today because of his confidence in Am baEsador, big bay colt that came from behind to win the 17th Ham, bletonian Classic at good time track yesterday.
 Other experts told White to give up on Ambassador last year when he was lame-suffering from splints .--and couldn't race as a tWo-year- old. But White had the splints' fired" and nursed the Ambassador along, starting him for the first time this year as a three-year- old.
 White, who won the Hamletonian behind Mary Reynolds in 1893 and Rosalind in 1886. knew that the Ambassador had ability although he never dreamed that he could win the Hambletonian. Even on Tues day, when owner William H. Strang of Brooklyn paid the Ambassador s final $500 starting fee, White-the 00-year- trainer and driver-ad- mitted that he would be satisfied If the Ambassador finished in the money, considering the class Of competition.
 White doubted that the Ambassa- dor could beat out the highly touted Colby Hanover, two-year-old champion of 1o41 and fastest run ming three-year- -old of 1942.
 Cripple
 But through combination of ability and luck, the crippled colt of l941 came through and won $20,- 48D.01 for Strang and White, as well as the admiration of the harness world.
 Guy Easley, the lean. hard-blt- ten secretary of the White train ing stables, told the story of Am bassador's victory simply when he said:
 "The Ambassador stepped out and ran the mile in 2:04--two seconds faster than he ever made 1t before. "
 The clocking in the third heat wasn't near the Hambletonian rec ord, but 1t was fast enough to let the Ambassador fall heir to the three-year-ol crown when other horses, like Colby Hanover and Cannon Ball, failed to live up to expectations when the chips were 7 down.
 The ambassador was 20-1 long shot when the II horses were given the Ego" in the first heat. He fin- ished fifth in that contest. Hence the price on Ambassador heightened to 35-l for the second heat. He won that one after taking command at the haIf-mile post and paid his backers: $68.20, $23.20 and $40.
 This Eecond-heat victory. coupled with the poor showings of Colby 4 Hanover and Cannon Ball, made the Ambassador slight favorite at 5-2 for the third heat. But few of the experts figured him to win. They expected some other horse to take the third heat and force fourth heat In which only the three win- ners would compete. But the Am- bassador came through with great stretch drive that overcame game Gcctlands Comet.
 Secretary Paisley said after the race:

WASHINGTON - Dies commit
tee agents have seized deliberately
detailed maps drawn by Japanese
spies to guide an invasion of the
United States through Alaska and

sources disclosed Tuesday.
The maps were seized from
japanese agent after the Unit
ed States entered the war

ument will be included in the COM
mittee's report on Japanese activi-
ties which may be made public

and overland routes across which
the primary American defenses

Evidence To Be Summarized
The impending Dies report will
