New York, June While Gun
der Hagg, Sweden's great record
breaker, settled himself today in his
northWoodS training site at Dart
mouth College, Hanover, N. H.,
where he viii have plenty of forest
to run through, Daniel j. Ferris,
director of the National A. A. U.
championships, settled down to the
business of rounding up domestic
talent for the country's No. track
meet to be held for the benefit of
the Army Air Forces Aid society at
Triboro Stadium, Randall's Island,
June 1920.
Ensign Cornelius Warmerdam,
stationed at the Del Monte, Califor-
mia, Navy Pre-Flight school, advised
Ferris yesterday that he had obtain
ed leave from his commanding Off
Ger and will defend his pole vault
ing title that he has won four times
in five years, the last three in a
row.
The worlds greatest runner will
have to do something extra fancy
in the 1900 meters or 5000 meters
Che will decide his distance early
next week. to steal the spotlight
from the worlds greatest vaulter,
for Ensign Warmerdam is con-
firmed spotlight stealer. The worlds
only 15-footer, who has now cleared
that height or letter thirty-six
times in competition since April 10,
1910, will be in prime condition for
his specially.
Skyscraper
To his growing list of 15-foot
vaults, Warmerdam added seven
performances, including a best-of-
all-time flight of IS feet 8 IL in,
during his indoor campaign. And
in his three outdoor meets in the
last month, Warmerdam scared Is

In every meet this year Warmer
dam has tried for a new world rec
ord, shooting at Is feet 9 inches
and Is feet 10 inches. His outdoor
record is Is feet 7 ga inches. He
undoubtedly will try for new CELL
ing at Randall's Island, for he is
the most consistent record breaker
of all time. In the National cham
pionships last year, he set an A. A.
u championship mark of Is feet
2 IL inches.
Competition
Although Ensign Warmerdam is
considered out of this world inso-
far as serious competition is con-
cerned, he will face the best vault

against him are Lieut.. Dick Cans

Angott's Manager
Pre- dicted Title
For His r" Fighter
(Special to The Democracy


New York, June 8.-The Sammy
Angott" folder in the files of the
Twentieth Century Sporting Club
contains two prophetic letters writ
ten by Charles Jones, his manager,
back in 1889. They make particu-
larly interesting reading now that
Angott prepares for his ten-round
meeting with Henry Armstrong at
Madison Square Garden on Friday
night.
The first letter. dated April l,
1899 was written just before An
gott came into New York to trounce
Aldo Spoldi at the old Hippodrome.
In it Jones wrote:
"Angott Is honest, ambitious, gen.
erous and a gentleman. He is one
of the finest fellows 1t is my plea
ure 10 know. I certainly believe he
will win the lightweight title as
SO many of the midwest boxing
experts believe and he stands ready
at any time to meet any lightweight
in the world, including the cham
pion, Henry Armstrong"
Angott never got the chance 10
meet Armstrong for the title. He
had to wait until Armstrong had
lost the crown to Lou Ambers who
in turn lost it to Lew jenkins who
lost it to Angott. Sammy re-
linquished the title last November
but he would now like to win it
back. So would Armstrong.
Down and Out
Jones second letter was dated
June 8, 1889 and this time Charley
wrote:
"On a Christmas afternoon few
! years ago I stood outside Motor
| Square Garden in Pittsburgh in the
bitter cold trying to get in to see
Teddy YarosZ box Jimmy Belmont
No one offered to let me in and
finally, when the show was half
over, gave up in despair and
walked home.
There were many people in the
| boxing game who knew me and saw
me standing outside the Garden, but
1 guess they figured to hell with
him, he's through. They had for
gotten or didn't care to remember
I had managed such fighters as
Midget Mike O'Dowd, Cecil Payne
Tommy Ryan, and thought I'd never
come back or be worth knowing
again some day.
II didn't complain but l prom
ised myself that some day l would
come up with another good fighter
And believe me, I have. Mark my
words, Sammy Angott will be a
champion of the world one of these
days and he and / will be up in
the chips. I have all sorts OF con-
fidence in this lad and you car
bet that nobody will ever have tc
run a benefit for either Sammy OF
Charley Jones. Forgive me if ]
have grown sentimental in this let
ter but just want you to know how
much I think of this kid. He can't
miss being champion"
Sammy Angott lived up to his
managers predictions. Jones conf
dence in Angott has never wsTerso
and he is. sure Sammy will again be
the world lightweight champion
Cant miss" says Jones.

LONDON, May 3-Royal Air Force
bombers and fighters fought their
way through German fighter plane
opposition to attack industrial tar
gets in the Dutch coastal city of
Ijmuiden yesterday, following a
heavy attack Saturday by big Ameri-
can bombers on the German sub
marine base at st. Nazaire, France.
The British raiders shot down six
enemy planes, but lost four of their
own fighters.
Mosquito bombers sped across
France virtually without opposition
late yesterday and unloaded delayed
action bombs from rooftop level on
railroad shops at Thionviue, a

Seven American bombers were lost

was carried out in heavy weather

by squadrons of German Focke-Wulf

raid by American bombers based in
England since the attack on Bremen
April II, in which Is planes were
lost.
Colin Bednall, London Daily Mail
air correspondent, rode with the
American bombers to st. Nazaire
and returned with this enthusiastic
comment: Nov that I have been
in action with the United States
heavy bombardment squadrons am
more convinced than ever that they
have one of the really great answers
of the war.
IF they get the reinforcements
they need-and if these reinforce
ments are trained in operational

Chemical Works Razed.
Meanwhile, the Air Ministry news
service reported that 80 per cent OF
the buildings of one great chemical
works in Stettin were destroyed in
the RAF raid April 20 when a single
area of more than 100 acres was
devastated.
The chemical plant covered 81
acres and only one of its buildings
escaped damage. reconnaissance pic

days after the attack because of the
persistent pail of smoke.

of similar plant covering six acres

said.
Severe damage also was reported
