 selmalad would have been placed last in New York, and that is the best way to handle 8 disqualified thoroughbred.
 The Florida rule, dhich says that if runner interferes with only one contestant 1t is within the power of the stewards to place him behind that animal in the official result, opens the way to skullduggery. The rule originated in California in the old days, and only in recent years has 1t been adopted in some other states.
 There are cases in which 1t is erninently proper to place the guilty horse second, of course,. and in Florida that is left to the judgment of the stewards. The Selmalad- Roman Flag affair easily could have been one. Jockey Thompson might not have been at fault. Selmalad has shown on numerous occasions that he will not always stick to a true route.
 Tossing rule violators into the also ran class is the only system to keep jockeys within bounds and straight, however, and the more suspicious racegoers and bettors setisfied. It is

SCHOF|ELDERS RATE AS CHOICE
 OVER WILDCATS
Game May Attract Capa= city Crowd; WiIby Green
 But Improving

With the state police active all over the state, questioning autono- bile drivers, relative to the new ban on pleasure driving" there is a good chance that tonlght's crowd on hand for the first Crosby -Wilby basketball game of the season at the Grove street gym will be rem- iniscent of "old times". when 1900 to 1000 fans knocked each other down to get seat before the first whistle.
 AS for the game itself, Crosby rates as the favorite over Wilby because of its recent surprising victory over a strong |Torrington team, which was defeated 47 to 45 by determined group of young sters, who did not show anything in particular in two previous games, one against its Alumni, the other against Meriden which won over Crosby.
 Ready?
 Wilby has a green" but young team that is improving slowly, but is considered to be not quite ready for Crosby yet, though past situa- tionS of similar calibre, has seen the underdog and more dependable than anything Wilby has to offer, with Jocko Conlon a serious threat on one of his "good" nights. Wilby's Johnny Paidagas and Necunas from last years squad may show sorne- thing.
 Reserve squads of the two schools will meet in 7:30 p. m. preliminary game, which may prove to be every bit as exciting as the main go; if not more so.
 Torrington at Naugatuck is an- other game in this vicinity which should be worth while watching.
 Hearts Defeated
 Last night at the Wilby gym Coach Ebbie Conlan's Sacred Heart High basketeers. showed up well enough against Morris High team that had previously defeated them - that is, for half of the game which saw Morris on the big end of to 3 score. However, a final period rush and tally of points re- suited in Morris victory by 26 to 9 with Anderson making Il points; Moore getting of the Hearts total. Summary:

 CHAMPIONSHIP
Philadelphia Negro Stops Rico in ' Rounds, After
 Slow Start

New York. Jan. 9-(UP)-Careful pacing and an excellent attack to his opponents face enabled Bob Montgomery, Philadelphia Negro, to register a ssventh-round technical knockout last night over Chester Rico of New York, thereby advanc- ing him to the quarter finals of Mike Jacobs lightweight challen- gers tournament. sl..-
 Brown skinned Montgomery coasted through the early round: with an easy bob and weave, spot ting his elongated and somewhat frantic opponent those introductory sessions. But suddenly In the fifth, Bobbin' Bob unleashed a smashing right hook that gashed Rico's left brow.
 Montgomery made a target of that cut until Rico, the dark-haired Bronx Italian, was a bloody mess in the seventh. When Rico went to his corner, Referee Eddie Joseph called the commission physician, pr. William H. Walker, to the ring. pr. Walker ordered the bout stopped to prevent a possible permanent eye in- jury. His order came before the bell rarg for the eighth session of this scheduled 15-round bout.
 PostpOnement
 Montgomery's victory advanced him to another elimination tilt with Joey Peralta of Tamaqua, Pa, Mad ison Square Garden next Friday night. Unfortunately, however, Montgomery bruised his left hand so badly on Rico that he will be unable to fight Friday night. They will tangle later.
 Rico won five of the first six orunds. The second and sixth ses- sions were given him on fouls be- cause of Montgomery's low blows.
 Fighting his first Garden main event, Rico set a torrid pace in the early rounds. He forced the fighting, barraging his bobbing and weaving opponent with close-quarter upper cuts. But he was dog-tired and semi- blinded with blood in the sixth and~ seventh rounds.
 Montgomery scaled 134 IA pounds; Rico, l33 IA.
 The paid attendance was l0,4l6 persons, and the gross gate $2l,76l.
 Tn the scheduled eight-round semi -flral, young Johnny Greco of Montreal knocked out Bill Speary of Nanticoke, Pa, at 2:2S of the opening session. A laundering straight right put speary down for the full count. It was Greco's 1t7h knockout in 21 straight victories.
 He scaled 134 3-4 to Speary's l35 1-2.

night. But Jones knew Angott could lick Day and he wanted to make it dramatic. He eren had Dempsey down from New York to referee the bout so that there could be no question of the decision.
 Later Angott became undiSputed champion by walloping Lew Jen- kins. who was recognized by New York state.
 Since Angott retired on Nov. 1S, Beau Jack of Georgia came on to knock out Tippy Larkin of New Jersey, with far more impressive kayo than his technical knockout of Allie Stolz of New Jersey. His victory over Larkin made him light weight champion of the world. as far as New York and New Jersey were concerned, but the National Boxing association refused to recog- nize him.
 Open Door
 With the two Jersey lads belted out of the l35-pound throne room by Beau Jack. 1t is just possible that Jones and Angott felt them selves free to return to the ring. Mind you, we're not insinuating that either of the Jersey lads had racket connections: but We never can forget Angott's dislike of Jer- sey skeeters.
 What will happen now to the lightweight tournament which is supposed to produce q challenger for Beau Jack Gin New York state) and an ultimate champion Gin N.B.A. teFTitory)2
 Frankly we do not know. For. tunately. Angott is not claiming the title. He is willing to start ct the bottom and fight up. because he figures he can lick any lightweight in the world today. including Beau Jack. Maybe's he's right. At least, we can't remember any lightweight who licked the Washington wind- mill in the past three years. And he never was choosey.

Florida Rule Placing Offending Horse Behind One He FOuled Opens Way for SkulIduggery; Disqual-

the most satisfactory disposition of these cases if for no other reason than 1t keeps 8 check on rough rid- ing.
 Many years of experience con- vinced The Jockey Club officials of that and its rules are built around those of the English. There were 26 disqualiflcations in New York last season.
 With a disqualified horse being punished to no greater extent than the place behind the one which he impedes, what is to keep an un- Scrupulous rider from fouling the favorite or the steed he has to beat?
 In Florida, it is possible for him to get away with that and still col lect the place money and bets, or enable another horse to win. He could get in his dirty work at the start or anywhere along the route.
 How about the other horses in the race?
 Arace is either truly run or 1t isn't.

Washington, Pa, Jan. 9-(UP)-- Three months after he startled. the boxing world by announcing his re- tirement as lightweight champion, Sammy Angott said today that he never felt in better shape" and was returning to the ring in an effort to win back the championship.
 Explaining that the hand injury which he gave as his reason for retiring had healed, Angott an- nounced that he planed to cam paign in both the lightweight and welterweight divisions.
 My right hand is all healed" Angott said, land I'm ready to take on all corners"

Limited Press Staff Correspondent)
 New York, Jan. 9.-(UP)-Tim- ing is ltra-important in the bus1- ness of bashing your neighbors proboscis. Hence the two-timing of Sammy Angott, retired lightweight champion, which could come only from an expert. We mean:
 CD Angott, the wild walloper of Washington, Pa, announced his re- tirement as lightweight champion of the world at Aunset on Nov. 13, just a couple of hours before Beau Jack of Georgia stepped into Madi- son Square Gardens ring and stop ped Allies Stolz of Newark. N. J., In the seventh round.
 (2) Angott, the completely re- tired champion, announced his re- turn to the ring at sunset on Jan. 8, just a couple of hours before Bob Montgomery, Philadelphia negro, stopped Chester Rico of New York at the Garden in the seventh round.
 Between those two announce ments, there were wild rumors in the press that Angott had been forced to retire because he refused to be a cats-paw of gangsters. An gott ard his manager, Honest Char ley Jones. denied these rumors with open throttle.
 Could Be
 Personally, we-just a Nevada boy in the big city-are convin ced that 27-year-o.d Angott--a guy with a wife and a couple Of kids and a nice home down at Washington went through the retirement act as the only out that would have pre- vented him from being either fore ed into a crooked fight or risking the safety of himself or his loved ones.
 We have known Angott and his manager. Goodtime Charlie foi years. We have known them or occasions when just one quick grand would have changed their entire ii. nanclaI outlook. But never would they countenance anything crooked to make e dishonest dime. Whether they were forced out of the game temporarily by ganester guns we d6 not know. But we do know thai they are "purists" in every sense Of the boxing word. And for that req son we extend a hearty:
 ~welcome back to sammy An' gottl"
 Why were the announcements ol his retirement and his return tc the ring timed perfectly with llght- weight fights at Madison Square Garden9 Because of Charley Jones sense of the dramatic. Jones of Louisville, Ky. chose Derby eve in K.0ulvlile as the night he would llke Co have Angott win the NIB A. portion Of tine lightweight crown.
