B. MONTGOMERY LOSES TO CHAMP
AngOtt Has Defeated PhiI- adelphia Negro for
 Third Time

Philadelphia, July 8-(UP) Light weight Champion Sammy Angott boasted his third consecutive vic- tory over ranking contender Bob Montgomery today after a close 12- round non-title bout last night. Be- cause of the good showing the Philadelphia Negro made, 1t was be- lieved possible the two may meet again.
 Referee Spud Murphy's vote was necessary to declare the winner after Judge Harry Lasky had given six rounds to Angott, five to Mont gomery and called one even. Judge Tommy Loughran scored six for Montgomery, five for Angott and one even. Murphy's deciding vote gave Angott six rounds, Montgom- cry four and called two even.
 Both fighters opened their over- weight, non-title clash slowly be- fore 16,OO0 Shibe park customers. Then the Washington, Pa, cham pion gained a slight edge by su- perior infighting, but in the seventh Montgomery worked on Angott's face and at the end of the eighth had the champions eye closed. He also carried the next two rounds, but from the 10th on Angott punched and boxed his way to vic- tory.
 Angott weighed 139, Montgomery 137.

VICEANT SUFFER FIRST LOSS OF

COSenza Beats ThOmastOn Boy at "ROck'-Day-
 ton K. o. Winner
Special to The DemOcrat)

West Haven, July 7.-FranE Vigeant, Waterbury's fistic Tor. nado, after four straight wins which were impressive, met his Wa .erloo here tonight in the person of Johnny Cosenza of Worcester, who got off the floor in the first round, fight back enough to win the round. hold his own in the second and in the final half min- ute of the third round nearly stop Vigeant, who was favorite slug ger with the fans who have watched him four or five weeks drumming.
 Cosenza and Vigeant lost no time in taking their Sunday shots" and, when the Worcester boy was dropped with a hard right to the jaw in the opening round, most fans thought he was in for an- other easy evening However. the Italian-American lad, tough hombre, who can take a punch and hand 'em out very hard, too, took a short count, was up and winging away at his adversary so well that the bout became the best number of 13 nmi-pro battles in which kayos were plentiful. Vigeant came back strong in the second round, seemed to punch his way to a commanding lead with hard shots to Cosenza's head, and was, holding his own in the third until the Wor- cester boy suddenly found the range and nearly floored his foe in the last half-minute, when the bell rang, bringing hard-earned win to Cosenza, who will probably be rematched with the Waterbury boy within two weeks.
 Al Oliver of New Haven, a sharp punching middleWeight stopped Ed die Mack of Worcester in the first round by TKO route when Referee George Proto stopped the battle af- ter Mack was up and down four times. Pat Vendrillo, 155 pound Manchester boy, was an easy win ncr over Tony Myro a New York substitute for Domenic Paris, who held Vendrillo to draw a week ago.

SPOLDI AND KODAK
 CLASH TOMORROW

New Haven, July 8 - On the basis of knockouts scored, you can write your ticket on Aldo Spoldi to win over Leo Kodak when they meet in the main bout of ten rounds at the White City Stadium, Savin Rock, tomorrow night-but on the other hand, comparative records o1ten mean very little when 1t comes to picking winner, so don't be too sure.
 The records of these ring rivals are interesting, however, for they show each of the principals far ahead in the victory column, and with experience stretches dating back to 1883 when they began fight ing as mere youngsters. The date of Spoldi's birth is a bit obscure. He was born in Rome, Italy, and first came to this country to start his American career with victory oyer Red Cochrane At that time he gave his age as g.
 That would put Spoldi in the same age bracket as Kodak, for Leo was born in Chicago on June 5, 1913, the son of Bohemian -Ameri- can parents.
 Neither of these two able light weights has ever been on the deck for the full count. Not given to punching hard, Kodak has depended upon boxing skill to set down chal- lengers and his record of 89 pro- fessional fights through 1941 show five knockouts, 62 decisions, five draw verdicts, and IT decisions against him. His ring generalship was recently demonstrated in Cin- cinnati when. fighting Charles Varre, he slipped and struck his head on ring post in the seventh round. Although bleeding badly, and hurt by the accidental wallop, he finished out and held the upper hand to the final bell
 Spoldi had g fights of record in Europe before coming to the United States, winning 13 of them by knockouts, gaining decisions in six others, and thrice fighting to draws
 Over here his record through 1941 shows a greater number of knock out victories than decisions. He stopped 30 foes, won from 26 others by decision, drew twice, and lost ten. All told, including the European battles, he scored 43 knockouts, 32 decisions, went to a draw five times, and was defeated II times.
 One of his wins was against the clever Johnny Bellus when the New Havener was in the throes of winning streak.
 For local comparison, Kodak fought Julie Kogon at the Rock md was the victim of poor draw, ls. .er beating Kogon in New York and forcing the Hill lightweight out of contention for'a title shot.
