Flown in groups of anywhere from

tudes 1000 feet to 1900. Ar

can run up the rubber COWS in jig

ally has its own crew of specialists:

entirely feminine. A battalion, con-
trolling around 80 balloons, operates
its own repair section. its own hydro

NBA Gives Title Rafinq
To Battle Between
Anqott and White

Hoping to clear up the muddled
lightweight championship situation,
the National Boxing Association an
nounces in its quarterly ratings re-
leased today that the Forthcoming
bout between Sammy Angott and
Slugger White in Los Angeles will
be recognized as for the title.

gomery is listed along with the
other two as logical contenders."
Gibes With New York.
This is in line with the New York
version of the lightweight picture
in which Montgomery, Angott and
White are listed as leaders in that
order, with the title vacant.
The NBA also fell in step with the
New York solons by lifting the fly
weight crown from Little Dado and
declaring Jackie Patterson of Eng
land the champ. Little Dado Is
moved up to the bantamweight Sec
ton in which he has been competing
for some time.
Disagree on Feathers.
In all other title matters the NBA
and New York agree except as to the
featherweight situation. The NBA
feather champ is Phil Terranova.
while in New York and some other
States the recognized titleholder is
Willie Pep, now in the Army. Greene
said the NBA expects title defense
soon by Terranova whose three
months title period will be up some
time in November.
A new contender for the light
weight title appears in the person
OF Bobby Ruffin, who has beer

there a long time at attention in

MILLER, who was not one of
A'l heroes, but whose presence
was required just the same,
claims that he cussed the gen.
eral under his breath with such
fervor that the air around him
turned blue and then he trem-
bled lest the commander might
notice the atmospheric tint and
suspect the cause, as old Black
Jack" was no chump.
Fortunately for Miller the
same change took place around
all the others present, including
the heroes, until finally there
was such an indigo fog that the
general had 10 grope for the
bosoms TO be-medal them.
Miller states rather grudg-
ingly that even his own efforts
were surpassed that day by one
of the heroes. a fellow who is
now sheriff of a county in Ne
vada and who cussed the gen.
eral (under his breath) with
such violence that Pershing,
reaching for the guys bosom in
the murk, caught a Whit of
sulphur and shifted the hero's
breath suspiciously, thinking it
was something else.
