Cochrane made it obvious to the
spectators that Winnie Smith, a

Bob's personal selection as catcher.
When Feller was chased, Smith
went, too-and was replaced by

Fans Split as Angott
Is Awarded Decision
Over Montgomery
z, the Associated Press.

BY the Associated fIeSs
PHILADELPHIA, July 8.-Light-
weight Champion Sammy Angott
had to his credit today third
straight win over Philadelphia Bob
Montgomery, but his latest victory
has started a controversy that may
lead to a fourth meeting.
Angott bulled and mauled his way
to a split decision over Montgomery
at Shibe Park last night in IL
round non-title scrap. The decision
was booed by many in the crowd OF
16,050 that contributed to a gross
gate of S33. $3.50, but there seemed
to be as many who declared the de-
cisioa was just.
Charley Jones, manager OF the
washington (PaJ ch m p ! n,
summed it up in few words:
I'VE won. didn't We We've beaten
him three times now, twice in Phila-
delphla. But we're willing to hght
him again if the fans want it.
AngotU, a 6-to-5 favorlte, carried
the fight to Montgomery throughout
the first five rounds and piled up a
big lead. In the sixth, Montgomery
managed to keep Angott at long
range and drove home a series OF
lefts ana rights. Throughout the
seventh, eighth, ninth and tenth
Montgomery waged an uphill battle,
but then he weakened. Angott
swarmed all over him in the last
round.
The gruelling but not spectacular
fight, was decided by the vote OF
Referee Spud Murphy after the
judges split
Murphy gave Angott six rounds.
Montgomery four and called two
even. Judge Harry Lasky gave 1t to
Angott by 6-5-1. Judge Eddle
Loughran scored it as a Montgomery
victory on 6-5-l basis.
Ango:t, who now meets Ray Rob-
inson IN New York on July 81,
weighed l39 to Montgomery's 137.

CLEVELAND, July 8.-If Sid
Hudson and Stanley Spence of the
Nationals were disappointed because
they didn't crash the lineup when
the American League defeated the
National League in the New York
game, they feel all right now. Both
got into last nights battle with the
All-Service team here and 1t proved
to be by far a better and more en-
tertaining show.
Hudson, second pitcher used by
Manager Joe Mccarthy, also was
the best for his side. Sid worked
four innings, giving only a couple
of hits and the servicemen who con-
stantly threatened Starting Pitcher
Jim Bagby didn't have much
chance. Twice Sid helped himself

Spence relieved Tommy Heinrich
in right field and was credited with
a scratch hit. In the field, how
ever, Stan and Joe Di Maggie got
crossed up on Benny McCoy's easy
fly in the eighth and it dropped
for a double.
Ernie Andres, only minor Lacquer
in the service teams starting line
up, played as if he had been a big
Lacquer all his life. He was Al
in the field and at bat He cracked
out two hits. only soldier or sailor
to get more than one.
Cecil Travis, the ex-Nat short

This was quite tribute, inasmuch
as Mickey also had fellows like Don
Padgett and Sam Chapman. Cece

lined to Ken Keltner and finally
was robbed of single by Phil Riz-
zuto.
There was a two-minute blackout
during the game and, in sharp con-
trast to the thousands of lighted
cigarettes and flaring matches at
the Polo Grounds on Monday night,
only one cigarette was seen in Cleve-
land stadium A smoker in deep
left field apparently didn't feel that
he had to cooperate as long as the
other 62,093 people were doing so
nicely.
Mickey Harris, the former Red
Sox pitcher and only big Lacquer
now stationed outside of the United
States, came up all the way from
the Panama Canal Zone to pitch
one inning in which Rizzuto dou-
bled and stole third, and Ted Will
liams and George McQuinn tripled.
Result: Two runs.
Jack Dempsey was to have led
the Coast Guardsmen on march but
the ex-heavyweight champion. spic
and span in his white lieutenant's
uniform, spent the entire evening
in the press box, which is no place
for white uniforms.
It's not much fun watching Cecil
Travis play shortstop in service
games. All of sudden a Wash
ingtonian appreciates what a slick
fielder he is and starts thinking
about well, never mind.
When Bob Feller got knocked out
of the box before retiring anybody
in the second inning, his catcher
got knocked out, too. Cochrane sent
John Rigney, seaman first class, to
relieve Feller and Frankie Pytlak,
the old Cleveland catcher, to re-
place Winnie Smith. The latter is
Feller's new favorite receiver. Or
