FORMER CHAMPS
 FIGHT FOR NEW CHANCE AT TITLE
Odds Shift to Younger Man, But Henry Is POpu=
 lar With Everyone.
BY JACK CUDDY United Press Staff CorreSnondentl

United Press Staff Correspondent
 New York, June 11.-UP)- Henry Armstrong and Sammy An- gott, two former lightweight cham pions, collide tonight when their comeback trails cross at Madison Square Garden - trails that beckon each back toward the throne.
 Angott, who gave up the crown last November because of bad hands, is favored at 1910 to win the To- round bout. Late support for Slammin' Sam shifted the odds from their original 7-5 favoring Arm strong.
 Angott, bull-shouldered Italian from Washington, Penn, is favored because he is two years younger than his more famous 3O-year old opponent, who is expected to be worn down by Angott's blistering pace and wrestling tactics.
 Angott was impressive March 19, in his lone comeback fight, when he outpointed Featherweight Cham pion Willie Pep, tagging Willie with his only defeat in 68 professional fights.
 However, most fans hope Arm strong will win. The Los Angeles Negro is one of the most popular boxers ever to toss leather because of his achievements in the past, and his success on the comeback trail.
 Armstrong, the little perpetual motion man, was the only boxer in ring history ever to wear three crowns simultaneously feather, lightweight and welter and he has rung up the most notable come back drive in the history of the lighter divisions.
 Armstrong retired from the ring in January, 1941, after being beaten en twice by Fritzie zivic His handlers feared additional punish ment to his eyes might result in blindness. Hurricane Hank start ed fighting again, just a year ago Since then he has engaged in 22 bouts, winning 19 of them, IA by knockouts. He lost disputed de- cisions to Reuben Shank, Willie Jolce and Beau Jack Thus far, he has attracted a total of about $425 ,000 in gates.
 Tonight's winner is virtually as sured of an ultimate meeting with the lightweight champion, now Bob Montgomery of Philadelphia Mont gomery must give Beau Jack a re- turn shot at the title however, be- fore meeting any challenger.
 Angott and Armstrong are coming in over the 135-pound limit tonight since they have weight agreement which permits 140 pounds. Arm strong is expected to scale about 139, and Angott one pound less.
 Promoter Mike Jacobs expects a crowd of 17,0OO and a gate of at least $75,000.

that boxing wouldn't be too hard oh his eyes and returning to the wars year ago. He collected $24,500 for dropping a debatable decision to Beau Jack.
 Hammering Hennery is first to tell you that his more formidable days are behind him, so his record since giving it another whirl gives you a slant on what the opposition is to- day. He has knocked out IA, won five decisions and lost three. He was adjudged the loser in a match with Willie Joyce, Gary Negro, after breaking his jaw.
 The Angott match completes Arm strong's eastern swing. He gets an- other shot at Joyce in Hollywood, June 26. and goes to Portland, Ore, to engage Jimmy Garrison for the third time, July 12.
 Armstrong will weigh around l40, Angott couple O. pounds less. NOT INTERESTED IN TITLE
 Angott docs not appear interested in the title he vacated and which IS now held by Bob Montgomery. whom he beat three times.
 Why worry about a championship when, with no weight problem. you can draw $100,000 gates initiating running guard turning into a tackle hole and taking the backer-up for a ride?
 Hold that line, Henry Armstrong. en. he allowed no batter further

LamOtta Gets Decision on Referees Vote Before

By LEONARD APFELBAUM United Press Staff Correspondent

Pittsburgh, June 11-UP)-Jake Lamotta of New York held a split decision over former welterweight champion Fritzie Zivic of Pittsburgh today but most of the 2Q,000 fans who saw the fight felt the victory should have gone to Zivic.
 Refere- Al Grayber cast the de- ciding vote after 10 rounds last night when the judges splot on the decision and touched off 15-minute spectator demonstration which had to be quelled by police.
 The United Press scoresheet cred tied each fighter with four rounds and registered the sixth and ninth even but to the crowd Zivic, a 5 to underdog in pre-fiight odds, should have won.
 Fans jumped on the seats and threw papers and cigarets into the ring when the decision was revealed. Zivic's handlers rushed the an- nouncer in protest.
 Lamotta, who scaled 155 1-2 to IlVlcS I5l l-Z, kept boring In almost all the way, ignoring the early pun ishment loosed by zivic.
 Eyebrow Cut
 The Pittsburgh fighter met La Motta's opening rush with a head battering assault and opened a bad cut over his opponents left eye in the second The bout see-saWed until the fifth when the pace began to tell on Zivic and he started to back away before Lamotta's cease less attack.
 Lamotta held the aggressive edge for virtually the rest of the way, raking zivic's mid-section despite Fritzie's effective left jab
 In the eighth, zivics legs went back on him and he began to take a punishing barrage which culmi- mated in the 10th when Lamotta pinned him in neutral corner and pumped damaging lefts to the Pitts burghers head.

 New York, June II (U.PD - Shut Out - Last years biggest money winner but this years big gest flop - is being groomed for a racing comeback expected to be- gin at the $3000o Brooklyn handi- cap at Aqueduct June 26.
 Track observers have been asking the reason for the Greentree Stable Speedball's defeat in at least four important stake races this year. Last year Shut Out won the Ken lucky Derby and other classics.
 Trainer Johnny Gaver said most of Shut Outs failure in the Spring handicaps could be blamed upon, CD Gaver's mistakes in prepping the horse for spring competition, and (2) couple of bad rides in his last two starts.
 Fine , Year Old
 To appreciate fully Shut Outs failure this year, one must remem- Der that he was last years leading money winner, out-ranking Whirl- away, and Alsab. Shut Out cut a wide swath as three-year-o winning eight of 12 races, including the Kentucky Derby, Belmont Stakes, Travers Stakes, Arlington classic, Yankee Handicap and Blue Grass stakes.
 Shut Out came north this spring to finish sixth in the Toboggan Handicap, won by his entry mate, Devil Diver.
 Five days later, Shut Out came in eighth in the Metropolitan Handi- cap, also won by Devil Diver.
 Then Gaver realiZd Shut Out needed more intensive training; so he entered him in the ballot handi- cap, He finished out of the money. Next, Shut Out was pocketed in the $30000 suburban handicap and wound up ninth.
 Trainer Confident
 Now Shut Out is being readied for the $30,00O Brooklyn Handicap in which he will match strides with Don Bingo, the suburban winner; Market Wise, Attention. Riverland, and practically every good handicap horse except Whirlaway and Alsab, who are slated for the midwest.
 Gaver predicts Shut Out will live Up to his three-year- Told reputation before the racing year is finished.

Closer Race

These factors point to tighter
race in the American league, which
should do much to increase box Of
fee income.
1t is expected that the loss of big
names will cause some decline in
revenue. But that loss won't be as
great as it would have been If the
major leagues hadn't provided their
full share of Americas fighting men.
The loss Of some Of the games
biggest stars probably won't be felt
as much as some observers expect.
The only real money names in base
ball since Dizzy Dean are Bob Eel
Ter and DiMaggio. And none Of the
three compares TO Babe Ruth as an
attraction.
For all his greatness DiMaggio
wasn't altogether popular around
New York. His repeated holdouts
probably had something to do with
that state Of affairs. He listened to
too many persons who weren't con-
nected with baseball. and the ad-
vice wasn't always the best.
DiMaggio's greatest salary was

The farm containing 420 acres, is
