Time. stan Correspondent

LANSING, Aug. 4.-The United
States army has refused to pay
the state for use of the Fair
Grounds in Detroit and the adj
illustrative board prepared today
to consummate a 81 per year con-
tract with the government.
Criticized because state property
on the grounds was lying around
in the open" and subject to theft,
Governor Van Wagner hurriedly
called state officials together to
iron out state fair difficulties.
1t. Col. F. I. Kennedy, chief OF
the real estate division of the
army engineers corps, Chicago,
brought the word the government
would take over the grounds for
the duration at 81 per year.
ONLY COURSE POSSIBLE
'Tt Is either give the grounds
TO the army, or have the gov
eminent start condemnation
proceedings" explained High
way Commissioner G.. Donald
Kennedy. 1.-THE only thing we
can do Is sign the army's con-
tract and file a claim for dam-
ages, IL there are any, after the
war.
"I'II admit they haven't done
a good job of taking care of our
property so far, but there will
be an improvement as Of today"
Auditor General Vernon J.
Brown complained last week doors
of important buildings were UNI
locked and said ''it would be a
simple matter to cart all our stuff
away"

Casino Gardens failed.
Before the army took over the
grounds July /, the Yellow Coach
Company of Pontiac offered the
state S37 500 per year to rent the
property.
Kennedy said the army would
have vetoed such an agreement
had the state signed it.

Last May IS Angott put his 135- pound division crown on the line against Allie Stolz. of Newark, at the Garden. The contest was ex- citing enough. But the decision went to Angott despite the fact that a big majority of the spectators and boxing writers thought Stolz won. And 50 again Angott had failed to win over New York boxing fans.
 Well, now Angott comes up against the hottest" boxer in the country, Ray Robinson. The Harlem welter- weight, undefeated now in 89 bouts as an amateur and g as a profess sional, has never been known to make a bad fight. Angott, with lots to gain with little to lose, can af- ford to gamble, to cut loose with everything he's got. This is his big chance to make favorable impress sion in the Garden ring. He hopes to capitalize on that chance.
 Tn addition to the Garden main event, ten-rounder, the semi-final on tomorrow's program is also at- tracing great interest in ring cir cles. This is an eight-round affray between Maxie Shapiro, East Side lightweight, and Chester Rico, Young Bronxite who has developed recently into one of the top-ranking lightweight contenders in the coun- | try.

Fifth and Deciding Game of Series Slated for Full.
 ton Park Next Week

The fifth and deciding game in the series that has kept fans at Fulton Park enthused during the current season will be played shortly by the Cracker Hill, Jrs. and the Wildcats. To date the series stands two and two.
 The Cracker Hills tied their old time rivals by a power-house at tack yesterday morning, winning by the most decisive score, 20 to 6. On the previous day the Wildcats nosed out a 0-7 victory. Beaulac's sensational fielding was the feature of tn eday for the winners, while Billy Wash's bat accounting for four out of four was the redeeming point for the Cracker Hills.
 Yesterday Jackie Green continued his batting streak by collecting four hits. Ahearn and Harrington, his teammates, also garnered four apiece. Ahearn and Dunphy was the battery for Cracker Hills. while Pickett and Hayes did the twirling and Rush and Cavnaugh the catch- ing for the Wildcats.
 The final game will be played within a week.

.COLORED STARS SHOW CLASS IN NIGHT CONTEST
Black Yankees, Outhit 9 10 6, Score Second Win
 Over Brasscos, 9 to 4

The touring Black Yankees wht make a living by playing baseball every day convinced Waterburiani last night that smart baseball with. out too many base hits can win bal games.
 The famous Negro club, outhit by the Brasscos, nine to six, took advantages of five errors by the home team to register at to 4 vic toray, their second over Fred Davit combine this month.
 Two big frames, the eighth and ninth, were enough for the colored clouters to win. To the writer il appeared that the Yankees were content to make it an interesting ball game for seven frames, the same as they did on their first ap- pearance at the same field two weeks ago. The writer futrehr believes the colored clouters can open up at will against clubs like the Brasscas.
 Hal Smullen, a West Haven lad who earned. his varsity letter al Notre Dame, hurled very erst- while game for seven innings. Go- ing into the eighth he held 4-3 ad- vantage, but here the visitors start ed going to town, continuing their rampaging in the ninth to justify their claim as one of the outStand- ing Negro combines on the road to- day.
 Whitney opened the game walk ing, stealing second, going to third on Fords infleld out. Wilson rap ped long fly to Billy Moore in deep center and Whitney scampered across standing up after the catch.
 An infield error, wild pitch, a passed ball and another long fly to center scored the second run for the colored boys in the second. AS yet the colored clouters failed to nick Smullen for safety, but two runs were across.
 Again in the third the Yankees pushed over another run without the aid of a hit. In the meantime the Brasscos scored one in the first and another in the third to make 1t 3 to 2. Tn the fourth neither team scored. The Tanks went scoreless in the fifth, but the locals in their half pushed over two to take a to 3 lead which they held until the eighth.
 Ted Williams opened the eighth for the visitors with a clean double to deep left. 'Whitey' Green walked and 'Bo Bo' Stark, first baseman, singled to score both runners who had advanced base each on an in- field out.
 Whitey opened the ninth with a triple. Two Annie Oaklies to the next two batsmen filled the sacks and Williams cleaned them with a tremendous triple to right field, later scoring on an outfield fly.
 The visitors used three chuckers, Nick Stanley who went three in- nings, Grimm who went five, and McAllister who went one.
 The box score.

ANCOTT EXPECTS 1 TO PROVE WORTH
Sammy Believes Crack at Robinson Tomorrow Will
 Turn Trick

Sammy Angott is looking forward Co his meeting tomorrow night with Ray Robinson at Madison Square Garden because he is sure this match provides him with the op- portunity of proving to Garden fans that he is c worthy titleholder.
 The night Angott won the world lightweight title from Lew Jenkins, last Dec. 19, he was far from i'm rreksive. The blame, however, was not altogether his. It so happened that Jenkins, on the night he was Methroned, was in his worst spelling mood and he would have made any fighter look bad.
 Tn March of this year Angott re- burned to the Garden to face Bob Montgomery. of Philadelphia, in an overweight match. For reasons best known to himself Montgomery, who was expected to scale around 138, came in at l35 1-4 and was SO weak he was forced to do considerable holding. Angott won decisively but WRace again was far from impressive.
