Montgomery Starts
Drive for l35-Pound
Crown Next Friday

New York, March 2 - Because
Bob Montgomery has done so much
of his recent fighting against well
terweight opposition, there is an
impression in boxing circles that
this Philadelhian is a genuine well
terweight himself and belongs with
the 147-pounders.
That's a mistaken idea, accord
ing to Frankie Thomas, Mont
gomery's manager, who points out
that Montgomery scales only. about
1873 today and will probably weigh
no more than 1876 when he faces
Sammy Angott, world lightweight
champion, in twelve-round match
at Madison Square Garden Friday
night.
We've always had trouble get
ting lightweights to box Mont
gomery," says Thomas. That's
why he has had to do so much of
his fighting against welterweightS
like Mike Kaplan, Al Nettlow. May
on Pablo, and other men who have
outweighed him. Naturally, there
was no ONT in bringing Montgom-
cry down to 1875 pounds to meet
147-pounderS."
If Montgomery can triumph over
Angott in the Garden ring he will
have taken big step toward a
lightweight title opportunity. But
because he has weighed 1856 or bet
ter for all his recent fights it is
likely that he will be called upon
to prove he can make 1875 pounds
before getting title chance.
AngOtt Beat Him
Strangely enough, the few de-
feats in the Montgomery record
were inflicted by lightweightS. One
of these was administered by An
gott in Philadelphia a little over a
year ago.
But since then Montgomery has
gone unbeaten through fifteen con-
tests and has registered nine
knockouts. He Is considered a
vastly better fighter today than he
was when he met Angott the first
time.
At time when Lew jenkins was
still riding high and was rated a
formidable fighter, Montgomery
gave him a thorough going-ove in
the Garden ring. That was just
short of a year ago and was Mont
gomery's last appearance in New
York.
Having beaten jenkins when the
latter was world champion, Mont
gomery now hopes to repeat over
another lightweight titleholder.

Last Outpost West of Hawaii.
The fight for Midway is for the
last island outpost west of Hawaii
still in United States hands. Guam
and Wake Island fell to the jap
anese, the latter after an epic
struggle of marines whose death
blows to Jap ships made the price
paid for victory costly one. But
Midway held on, turning aside
shelling submarines and bombing
planes so valorously that Admiral
Nimitz went to the island to deco
rate the defenders personally.
Midway's outpost is poised like a
dagger over Japan's Marshall Islands
to the southwest and the enemy's
big gamble, its first with such heavy
and costly armament in all the
battle it has waged at sea to date,
was indicative of its determination
to knock out the possible stepping
