The order automatically washed

NY NJ-Pa crown to Montgomery
the previous week.
Contracts for the Angott fight, in
which the winner of the Montgom-
cry Beau Jack scrap was to meet
the MIA king, were signed some
time ago. When Angott dropped his
title, Montgomery pleaded he was

The Bager Field ball park freezes
at night and softens in the morn

available for at least a week but
it will serve the purpose when it's

The Yankee boss Is going to have
a pocket-sized infield set up in the

Twin killings and good fielding

His friends were duly impressed
