During this second phase, from
May "a through June 4, the eight
western outfits won 81 games and
lest Al. for a percentage of .565.
These figures were registered while
National league clubs toured the
east, and eastern American circuit
crews played in the west.
This was a greater show of west
ern strength than during the first
intersectional phase, from May 10
through May 81, when the west
erners won 81 and lost SO, for .5l8.
BROWNS RECORD BEST
The robust showing of the four
western American league clubs -
st. Louis Browns. Detroit, Chicago
White Sex and Cleveland - fea-
tured the phase just completed.
They won 80 contests and lost %,
with only the Indians playing at
less than a 800 clip. The Indians
won seven and lost eight. The
other three had successful home
stands: Browns 10 and 5; Tigers
9 and 6, and White SoX 7 and 4.
The pace-setting Browns replaced
the New York Yankees in the lea
que lead, as the Yanks suffered a
disastrous road tour, winning only
five while losing eiSht. The ether
three eastern American leaguers
also played below 500 - Boston

Meanwhile, in the National lea
que. the four Westerners success
fully marched through the east,
with only Chicago'S Cubs making
a SUBJ 500 showing. The Cubs took
five and dropped seven. The Others
did better: St. Louis Cardinals t8-
81; Cincinnati Reds C7-6), and Pitts
burgh C8-6) Their collective show
ing was not as strong as during the
first phase when the Cards, Reds,
Pirates and Cubs repelled eastern
invaders with 80 victories against
only % defeats.
Eastern National leaguers Jared

viously on the road. They won "a

vaders. The breakdown showed
Giants (7-6); Braves Cd; Dodgers
C6-6), and Phillies 49,. The Phil
lies showing was the worst in the
majors; slightly worse than WASH
ingtons 5-10 which dropped the
Senators from third place to last.
While the eight western clubs
were registering their 81 victories
against AZ defeats, they achieved
469 runs against the oppo5ition's

Lynch Threatens
To HALT Angott,
zurita Contest

LOS ANGELES, Feb. %. UP)--
Fight Promoter Joe Lynch, center
of many stormy boxing sessions il
California, charged Wednesday he
was being double crossed by Ace
j. Greene, president of the National
Boxing association, and threatened
to call off his March 90 lightweight
title bout between Champion Sam
my Angott and challenger Juan
zurita of Mexico City.
Lynch, who promotes freelance al
baseball parks and football fields,
screamed that he would turn the
Angott-Zurita fight over to some
other promoter unless the sta e
athletic commission withdrew from
the NBA.
Specifically Lynch charged Green
with calling off title fight he had
planned to be held here between
featherweight champion Phil Ter
ranova and bantamweight cham
pion Manuel Ortiz for the feather
title.
The loquacious Lynch said he had
the fight all sewed up Biographical
" with Terranova but that Tuesday
he had received a wire from Greene
saying that Terranova had decided
not to come west to defend his title
Green is supposed to play police
man in cases like this. How can
Terranova decide out of clear sky
that he won't come out here? Greene
should have told him either 70
fight or give up his title" Lynch
said.
Green's wire to Lynch said Ter
ranova declines to go west because
of the climate and strange sur
roundings. Persuasion on my part
futile. Better luck next time"

SPORTS PARADE

We hope this admission will serve
as a warning to the nations fight
fans not to shrug Montgomery out
of the lightweight picture-not to
offer long odds against him in the
approaching lightweight series. De-
spite his 63-second knockout, Mont
gomery still may be one of the
most dangerous scrappers in COM
petition.
SLOW ON TAKE-OFF
Montgomery, the Philadelphia Ne
gro who never was kayoed in 81
previous bouts, is a slow starter
against stiff opposition just as was
Herr Max Schmeling. Always in the
past he came into the ring cold,
confident that he would Whittle his
man down-over a long route, be-
cause of his stamina, body punch
ing and potent head blows. He is a
carpenter" like Herr Make.
In Montgomery first title fight
with Beau Jack last May 81, Bob
was almost knocked out in the first
round when Jacks bombardment
of uppercuts to the head caught
him cold. But the Philadelphian
Weathered the storm and fought on
to win the title. In their second
title tilt, Nov. 10, Jack knew he
could not knock him out, SO he
concentrated on out-pointing him
and Wrested back the crown from
Montgomery.
Against Davis Friday night, Mont
gomery again started cold. But he
and his handlers failed to realize
the potency of Davis early left
hooks. He was belted out before he
could get going. Montgomery prob
ably will meet Davis in a return
bout in May. If he does, you NAV
be sure he will not go in cold. He
will have warmed up with four or
five rounds of shadow boxing in
the dressing room. He will not do
a Schmeling.
TWAS DIFFERENT
After Schmeling knocked out Joe
Louis in their first fight, everyone
in boxing knew that Louis-"with
blood in his eye"-Would come out
red hot, craving a quick kill, n
their return go.
The late Joe Jacobs, Schmeling's
manager, implored Make to warm
up-to shadow box at least six
rounds in the dressing room, and
then enter the ring SWathed IN
blankets. But Herr Make and his
Nazi trainer, Max Machon, obsti-
nately scoffed at such precautions.
He went into the ring cold; and he
was "moidered" in two minutes and
four seconds. Frigid and off balance,
Schmeling threw but one grazing
right hand at Louis. Make might
have been kayoed, anyway, but he
wouldn't have been massacred in
the first round had he been warmed
up.
Similarly, a Warmed-up Mont
gomery certainly would have escap-
ed first-round kayo Friday night;
and he might have gone on to win
against the still questionable Davis.
