row night for the first tiff Of a Is
game home stand against Western
teams will be the St. Louis Browns,
who will be faced in two successive

rely on the sun for their struggle
with the Browns Oil Friday. but will
meet the White SoX under the lights

lengthy night game schedule of
81 games.
Gomez, Kampouris Seen Help.
President Clark Griffith feels he
has fortified his Mats by signing
Vernon Gefty) Gomez, who carved
an enviable hurting record with
the Yankees, ana obtaining Alex
Kampouris, utility infielder. from
the Brooklyn Dodgers at a time
when Washington is in third place
only a game and a half from the
American Leagues top spot.
Gomez is slated chiefly for relief
chores, but Manager Ossie Bluege
also has indicated that If Lefty dis
plays something he will be trusted
with starting assignments. The slim
southpaw informed Griffith upon
signing yesterday that he'll be ready
Tor service Sunday, feeling he needs
few days to whip himself into
shape after prolonged period of
inactivity with the Boston Braves.
kampouris reported to Bluege last
nlght, but since he brought no base
pail equipment along he merely sat
on the bench.
With the addition of Gomez and
Kampouris the Mats now must clip
a player from their squad, and indi-
cations are it either will be Pitcher
Dewey Adkins or 1nfielder Sherrard
Robertson. Since the Mats are loaded
with IL pitchers and would lose title
to Robertson by sending him to the
minors, it is likely Adkins will be
dismissed.
Mats Rally in Ninth Nipped.
Washington came up with a STIR
ring inning rally off Charley
Wagner that fetched all their three
runs last night after Norfolk Navy
had grasped 40 lead. Then Lefty
Wilson came i'm to pitch for the
Sailors and, with two on, Robertson
flied out and George Case lined to
Dominic Di Maggie.
It was Di Maggie who had choked
on two Nat runs previously with
splendid throws. He nipped Robert
son at the plate in the fourth in
ming and in the sixth his peg to the
plate erased Sullivan.
The Sailors mustered a run in the
fourth inning of Alex Carrasquel
and got three in the eighth of Lew
Carpenter.

Youngsters to Be Promoted.
These events are being arranged
by a Wartime Tennis Committee of
241 members, representing every
major tennis center. This commit
tee also is charged with building up
tennis clinics to instruct young
players. stimulating public parks
play for the benefit of men and
women in war industries and COL
lecting used equipment for the
armed forces.
With nearly all the ranking men
players in the services, tournaments
will depend largely upon women and
boys under 18 to fill the entry lists.
The national singles likely will be
limited to 80 players in each division
and the common opinion is that
Pancho Segura, the Ecuadorean, can
win as he pleases.
There are lot of promising
players, kids like Bobby Falkenbure,
Jimmy Brink, Jack Tuero. Wade

by Promoter Mike Jacobs of New

Jack, who lost his lightweight title
to Philadelphia Bob Montgomery
last Friday, will be ready for
another scrap so soon.
That leaves Angott, who recently
beat Willie Pep, and we're hoping
to fight Angott," said Moore.
Armstrong Not Pressed.
Armstrong didn't tire himself out
in stopping Shapiro for his 10Th
victory and 14th kayo in % bouts
since he came out of retirement in
Los Angeles a year ago. In fact, q
crowd of 8,842 that paid $2l,614 saw
him lose the first round.
But in the second he went to work
with a bewildering display of in
fighting that drove the New Yorker
steadily backward. His face and
head badly battered by the sixth,
Make was dropped to one knee by

happened in the seventh. Blood
spurted from his mouth and ear as
he rose. Armstrong dropped his
fists suddenly and asked Referee
Matt Adgie to stop it. Adgie did.
The time was 1:59.
Armstrong weighed 14O1a, Shapiro,
135.
Both aggle Over Terms.
The lone possible hitch in the way
of an Armstrong -Angott fight is that
up to now neither of them will agree
to Mike Jacobs terms.
Charley Jones, Angotts manager
asked for a guarantee of $4,000 or
privilege of taking 30 per cent OF
the gate instead. Mike countered
with fiat 30 per cent offer, point
ing out that the Garden has been SC
successful this season that an
ngott-Armstrong fight is almost
sure to net Sammy what he wants
in the way of a guarantee.
On the other hand, George Moore
Armstrong; pilot, also was offered
80 per cent, but up to now has beer
holding out for 35.
