HITS FIRST PITCH

Then DiMaggio cracked a first
pitch 10 left for a single that
ought Rolfe home. Keller
whacked another first pitch to
right for a single and Joe raced
around TO third. only TO perish
there when Gordon struck out and
Dickey forced Keller.
With two out. Beazley in the
fifth singled TO right, breaking
his bat on the blow. But the
Cardinals were retired when
Brown popped 10 Rolfe. With an
easy double play in sight. Hopp
threw wide TO Marion at second
on RizZuto's grounder and instead
of the Yankees being out both
runners were safe.
Then Brown fumbled Rolfe's
easy grounder- in an -oveDlanxious
attempt for a double play and
the bases were filled. Southworth
.tfetted out 10 the box and con-
ferred with Beazley. Then the
manager returned TO the dugout
and Beazley resumed pitching with
Cullenbine the next batter. With.
a three-and-one count Cullenbine
popped to Marion.

STRATEGY PLUS

Again Southworth trotted to the
mound-and again back 10 the
.dugout. Beazley resumed pitching
with the formidable DiMaggio up
DiMaggio grounded TO Kurowski,
who stepped on third base TO re-
tire Rizzuto, retiring the side. A
great roar went up from the big
crowd.
First up in the sixth, Moore
laced a first pitch to left, after
which he raced TO third when
Slaughter singled TO right, also a
first pitch blow. Then Musial
popped 10 RuZzuto. Walker Cooper
flew out to Cullenbine, who made
a nice run to make the play. but
Moore scored and the game again
was knotted. Priddy threw Gull
lenbine's relay wildly to second
and Slaughter moved around to
third but Hopp parked a fly with
Di Maggie and the Cardinals went
to the field.

BLACKED OUT

The Yankees were BACKED out
in order in their half of the sixth.
SO were the Cardinals in the
seventh. Breazley the third out
via a Strikeout-Was given A big

in the Yankee half Of the seventh.
The veteran redhead took a third
strike. Rizzuto followed with a
single but the inning ended when
Rolle drove a long fly TO Slaughter
in right-center.
The Cardinals set the stage for
a run in the eighth but failed to
finish the scrip. First up, Brown
put a single past Rolfe, then
moved TO second on Moore's sacri-
flee. Then Slaughter popped to
Rizzuto and and Musial grounded
to Gordon and the chance was
muffed.

T0day's Sport Parade

New Jersey fans were treated to
their big thrill. Angott, milling
about like an angry teddy bear,
lunged forward. Stolz caught him
with a right and a left to the chin.
The champs eyes glazed, q sickly
grin spread over his face and he fell.
But Angott RECEIVERS quickly. At
nine he was up and charging for
ward.
From that point on the issue was
simple. Stolz, his sharp left Ticking
like Walter Johnson's high hard
one. tried his best to make q fight
of 1t.
Angott, arms failing wildly and
almost aimlesSly, seemed intent on
preventing the challenger from
making q fight of 1t. He spread
himself around Stolz like a fish net
and was content to muffle him.
It was a foul bout, too. Angott
butted. He smashed with his Shout
der. He hit in the clinches and at
the break. At times he blocked like
q Notre Dame tackle on a delayed
buck. StoIz, rallying masterfully to
Offset these illegal tactics in his
own illegal way, rubbed laces in the
champs eyes and bopped him with
elbows and head.
All Over
Between them they threw every
thing into the battle except my
typewriter and I chung tightly to
that. They were on the ropes, in
the ropes and through the ropes.
Yet, as the rounds passed, Stolz hit
the sharper and more solid blows
and as they headed into the fatal
l4th I thought the challenger need
ed only a split to win.
But then, with that one invol-
untary reaction, he kicked 1t away.
He didn't know 1t at the time. He
said afterwards that he thought he
had the fight wrapped up tighter
than a dowager's corset once he
scored his knockdown in the third.
He meant 1t, too, because during
that awful, two-minute period while
the announcer collected the three
cards and announced the decision
Allie was busy accepting congratu-
lations.
He stood right above me, leaning
over the ropes, boy who had just
done q mans work-and mighty
happy about 1t, too. He was sInil-
ing the sort Of smile you'll never
find on the face OF q boy in doubt
as he danced and waved and shout
ed hello to his friends. But then
his two minutes of happiness ran
out and the smile was suddenly
gone,
One seconds blunder had rubbed
out six months work.

HAMILTON PARK.
GIVEN BACK TO.
LEAGUE SUNDAY
Oil Delayed, So Teams Can
Use East End Fields;
Brooks VS. Looks

The City Amateur league will
play Its usual weekly contests to-
morrow afternoon at Hamilton park
and the Municipal Stadium. The
loop was slated to operate the Ham
ilton park half of its schedule at
washington park this week for the
reason that the east end field was
to have q coat Of oil applied
that always Is present. However,
the park department received word
yesterday that the supply Of oil
would not be on hand In time to
use this week so the city officials
gave the league the green light to
go ahead with its schedule and the
oiling will be done next week.
Hills Meet Avigs
Thereby the washington park
schedule will be transferred back
to Hamilton park for the two games
being played at the same time. In
the first diamond contest the
washington Hills, who suffered a
setback at the hands Of the
Tribunes a week ago, will attempt
to crash the win column at the ex-
pense of the Aviglianese, the team
that edged Mill Plain last week.
The No. 2 diamond tilt will bring
together the Sacred Hearts and the
North End Thomas club. Both
teams dropped their curtain raisers
last week and will go all out this
afternoon in an effort to get back
in the running. Manager Johnny
Howard Of the Hearts hopes to
have a number Of Bristol perform
ers on hand for the contest. The
Tommies have a bunch Of young
sters on the, squad this year, most
of whom hail from waterbury. A
large crowd Is expected to be on
hand for the twin BILL.
The Municipal Stadium double
header promises to be even better
than the Hamilton park double bill.
The feature attraction at 4 o'clock
brings together the Brooklyn A. G.
last years league champions, and
the Overlooks, last years cellar
dwellars. The Brooks haven't as
formidable q club this year as they
had year ago but the Looks are
far superior to the outfit that wore
their colorS last season. The Looks
upset the Tomimes 10-7 last week
for their first triumph and hope to
take the Brooks In stride in toHl1or-
rows tilt. Jackie Brickel, former
Wildly star, who lost an thinning
contest to the boys from across the
bridge last year, will be on the hill
for the Looks with Felix Longo be-
hind the bat. Lefty Johnny Nc
Kenna, who opposed Brickel in the
battle q year ago, will be back on
the slab for the Brooks with Mike
Haiday behind the bat.
Tough to Beat
The Brooks have Alex Shemko-
vich, Eddie Mack, Ben Yoksa, Joe
Mack, Johnny Stella, Roy johnson.
Buzzy McGrath and a flcok of
others in the lineup this year that
will be tough to beat. The Looks
have much the same team that rep
resented them a year ago In Johnny
Regan, Brickel, Willie O'Keefe,
Armand Mazzerella and others plus
a number of new additions.
The contest will be preceded by
the usual 2 o'clock affair in which
the Mill Plain nine meets the
Hills down with three hits last
Tribes. Bud Thomas who set the
week will be on the hill for the
Tribes with Jackie Thompson
working for the planners. A large
crowd is expected to be out for both
bills.

UNITED Press STAFF CORRESPONDENT

(UMlted Press StaM correspondent
New York, May 16-(UP) Short
ly before ii o'clock last night, when
the smoke hung in thick clouds over
the ring and the cheers rolled down
from above in great waves, a chunky
curly haired kid threw away the
lightweight championship of the
world and the fortune that goes
with 1t in just about the space of
time it takes to blink an eye.
With the title won, young Allie
Stolz let fly one low punch.
It had been q hard, dirty and
bitter bout. For Is rounds the kid
had given as good as he got-and
lust a shade more-in the biggest
fight of his life. Gathering steam af-
ter a slow start, he had knocked
the champ down in the third, stag
gered him at least three times
thereafter and transformed a COM
edy of errors into q bruising and
smashing battle.
The young Allie Stolz made mis-
take and lost a fortune.
He didn't mean to let fly with
that one low punch-but he did. !
could see the blow coming. Sammy
Angott, the champion-maybe not
a pleasing or spectacular champion,
but still the chanpion-was moving
in. Allie Stolz was pivoting, and, as
he pivoted, he punched. The blow
was fairly light.
But it was below the belt - far
below the belt.
UnintentiOnal
The referee acted on instructions.
He took the 14th and critical round
away from the kid challenger and
awarded 1t to Angott. The blow
hadn't hurt anyone. 1t was COM
pletely unprecedented and purely
accidental. But 1t was Enthusiastically
low and it proved the turning point
in one Of the most controversial
boxing matches In many months.
It was an odd bout. 1t started in
slap-stick fashion and for the first
two rounds Stolz looked sillier than
Don Quixote jousting with wind
mills. 1t didn't look like a boxing
match In the early minutes but
rather like o wrestling or Jul jitsu
encounter. At times the action
slowed to waltz time and the boys
obliged by dancing and mauling.
