can't hit you when you move around.
I moved and slipped away, and he

Aaron Perry may have good
punch, but nine months Of profess
sional fighting isn't enough to give
him the ring savvy and experience tc
make him good match for the likes
of Sammy Angott. He's still a long
way for the top and needs more
speed and a better-rounded attack
than he yet has if he hopes to climb
up from the mob. Power alone isn't
going to take him anywhere unless
that power can be utilized, and it's
not being utilized against a bobbing
slippery target.

Ortiz, slow to get warmed up, be-

scored heavily to Olivera's midsec-

round.
Olivera still was fresh and strong
at the finish, however, and, as the
final bell sounded, had Ortiz bleed
ing badly from his left eye, which
was cut in the fifth round, and his
nose was bleeding.
Olivera relied mostly on short left
and right uppercuts and fancy foot
work, through which he kept out of
range of Ortiz's body attack part
of the time, but could not escape
several savage uppercuts, some of
which, especially in the 9Th, 10th,

NEW YORK, April 5.-"Put me

Red Embree told all the sundry
at the Cleveland Indians spring
training camp at Lafayette, Ind,
yesterday.
That sounds like rash state
ment from rookie pitcher who
didn't even play in l943. But EN-
bree can make good his boast II he
shows the form he did in pitching
Wilkes-Barre, Pa, to an Eastern
League pennant in 1941.
That year Embree, a 22-year-old
from Glendora, Calf
turned in an earned run average of
SO in winning 81 games and losing
only five for Wilkes-Barre. Called
up the next year by the Indians he
won three and lost four, gaining
invaluable experience in the big
time. Last season he stayed on his
California farm, but kept in train
ing by pitching occasionally on the
West Coast.
Due for Action Soon.
Embree will watch from the bench
today as Vern Kennedy, Paul CAL
vert and Joe Heving toe the mound
against Pittsburgh, but he undoubt-
edly will be sent to the firing line
