Parks Tackles Crafty
Veteran in Shucco,
Pulling Comeback

When George Parks meets Tony
Shucco in the 10-round headline
boxing event Monday night az GEif-
fifth Stadium the District colored
heavyweight will be up against q
crafty. if little known locally, vet
eran of decade in bigtime fisti-
cutting. Now in the midst of a sue
cessful comeback, the Boston boxer
probably has forgotten more about
the ring than most wartime or "du-
ration" fighters active today ever
learned.
During the last l8 months, Shucco
has earned three clean-cut decisions
over high-ranking Buddy Walker,
the clever Ohio battler. The astute
James Joy Johnston, whose house
motto is there are no buns in my
stable" reports Shucco in the best
condition of his long career.
In daily workouts at Turner's
Arena, Shucco has impressed with
a sharp punch and some of the
prettiest footwork this side of the
Ballet Russo.
In spite of Parks reputation as a
slugger with mule kick in each
niitt, wagering on the bout is favor
ing ohucco. However, the odds are
expected to level out to a sensible
eyen-money proposition by fight
time.
An attractive preliminary card
has been lined up by Joe Turner,
with Irish Johnny Taylor VS.. Pete
Galiano in a welterweight clash;
Babby Gunther VS.. Carlos Gomez in
a lightweight affair, Stoney Lewis
VS.. Billy Duncan in a middleweight
test, Leroy Fleming VS.. Wally Fosse,
and Frank Feener VS.. Smuggy Hercy
in the opener, all six rounds.
Tickets for the show are on sale
at Turner's Arena and Griffith Sta
dium. Reservations may be made

Fans Skeptica| as Angott
Aims for Kayo Of Perry

Word from New York, where for
mer NBA lightweight Champ Sammy
Angott has started training at Still
mans gym for his scheduled IL
round bout with Aaron Perry at
Griffith Stadium August /, is that
Angott is plotting KO victory over
the hard-hitting youngster.
RlngWorms here who regard
Angott as a powderpuff punchel
while respecting his ability as a
boxer will believe it when they see
it. On the other hand, Sammy is
reported as irked over Harry Garsh's
lnsistence on longer distance for
the bout and the resultant freak H.
round route set by Promoter Goldie
Ahearn. The former champ, al
though he has won the majority OF
his bouts on decision, has knocked
out some tough boys, such as Eddie
Brink, Joey Fernando. Leo Kodak
Lee Sheppard and Pete Lello.

CLEVELAND, July 22.-An almost
hopeless Washington ball club, sunk
in sixth place, gloomily contem-
plated four-game series with
Cleveland's Indians that was to
open here this afternoon.
Beaten down badly by the Tigers
in Detroit, the Mats appeared to
have little left with which to make
any kind of a fight against the Tribe.
A comeback by them here would be
a baseball miracle.
The Tigers completed a four-game
series sweep yesterday, when it ap-
peared the Mats had salvaged one
game Washington went into the
last half Of the ninth with 5-3
lead as a result of hitting Dizzy
Trout to all corners of the lot in
their last two batting turns But
the Tigers fell upon Early Wynn,
third Nat pitcher in action, to cop,
6 to 5.
Passed Three Times.
A single by Pinch-batter Pinky
Higgins, a double by Eddie Mayo
and hit by Doc Cramer pulled the
Tigers up to a tie. After Rudy York
skied out. Dick Wakefield was pur-
posely passed for the third time in
the game. with the Mats hoping
Chuck Hostetler might roll into a
double play. But Chuck singled to
center and the tussle was over.
Johnny Niggeling opened fire for
the Mats, but retired after five in
nings with record of three runs
and six hits against him. One of
the hits was a 350-foot homer by
Trout into the left-field stand with
nobody on in the fourth. AL Car
rasquel followed to give one hit in
two innings, then Wynn came on to
yield five hits and take the beating.
The Mats got 10 hits off Trout,
punching six in the last two frames.
One was a pinch-triple by Bill Le-
febvre and there were three dou-
bles. But it just doesn't seem to be
in the books for the Mats to come
out ahead. The Tigers weren't
long in finding the plate. With one
out in the second session, Dick
Wakefield singled, Chuck Hostetler
doubled and Joe Orengo hit for a
base to give the home side two
runs.
Another Headache.
More trouble for Niggeling ano
the Mats loomed in the third when
with two on and two out, Myatt
fumbled Hostetler's grounder to jam
the stations. George Case, though,
raced to deep left to haul down
Orengo's hoist.
But Trout didn't strike out in the
fourth as he had in the second. In
stead, he rifled that homer into
the stand back of left.
Then the game became orderly
until the Nat surge in the eighth.
Johnny Sullivan began it with a
smash to the third baseman for a
hit. Lefebvre picked up Carras-
quers bat and tripled to right to
send in Washington's first run. Case
struck out, but Myatt got his third
hit. a double to left. to tally Pedro
Gomez, who ran for Lefebvre. Joe
Kuhel doubled over the tying tally
and after Stanley Spence rolled out
Boland sent a solid single to right
to put the Mats ahead.
Another Nat marker was chaiked
up in the ninth from Ferrells walk,
Sullivan's sacrifice and Wynns
double. Only spectacular catch
Iof Cases liner by Doc Cramer in
short center that resulted in Wynn
being doubled OF second kept
another tally from the Mats.

The family kitchen is a dangerous

eagle eye upon him.
The Red Cross emphazies this in
its information put out on accident
prevention in the home.
Pots and pans, pulled from the
table or stove by the child wanting
to find out what is in them, may of
ten cause painful or fatal burns.
They should be turned so that the
handles are out of the child's reach.
Matches, also, should be kept out of
reach.
More than 10000 deaths occur an
nually as the result of accidents in
the home, and some 5000 of these
are due to burns and explosions.
Should splashing grease catch on

curb the blaze.
