Despite the difference of opinion
about who won the battle. the fans
were unanimous In praising Angott
for living up to his statement that
he would stand up to Perry and
fight. Onlookers who criticized the
veteran for the boxing he did in
that split-decision win at Uline
Arena last winter had nothing but
praise for the battler today.
Those who think Perry should
have been given the nod probably
were watching blows to the head
and face and missing Angott's ter
rife body punching and counter
fighting. There was hardly an ex-
change Of leather all through the
odd 1l-round distance in which
Sammy didn't score three to one.
Early rounds were very close, but in
the sixth Angott began to get in
high gear, and there was no doubt
of the outcome from then until the
llth, when Angott not only out
boxed Aaron, but outslugeed him to
demonstrate clearly who was the
master.

ST. LOUIS, No, Aug. 2.-Punchy
from punishment absorbed In the
West, Washington's woeful Mats
were to leave here this afternoon
for Boston and five-game series
with the Red Sox opening Friday
with nothing to give rosy glow to
the wind-up Of their three-week
tour.
With IL Nckings in a row back of
them after that 1l-to-6 route dished
out last night by the league leading
st. Louis Browns and Is defeats in
their 16 games since leaving home,
the Mats aren't anticipating any,
thing pleasant In a baseball way
anywhere.
Their swing through the West was
the Mats most disastrous in years.
Starting 1t Is days ago in fourth
place in the race and still In the
running for the flag they finished
1t last night in the cellar with all
ideas of championship vanished.
Everything Happens.
They were beaten down at the out
set by Detroit's Tigers, who swept a
four game set. They rallied to take
the opener of four game series In
Cleveland, then dropped the remain
ing tits to the Indians. A four
game swamping followed as they met
the White Sox In Chicago and the
punishment was repeated here In
their tussling with the Browns.
Everything that could happen to
a ball club happened to the Mats
on the Western trip. They lost
eight of the 16 games by one run
Three times they were defeated ir
lextra-inning engagements and -four
times over the regulation distance
the home side in its last turn al
bat overhauled the Mats. The Wash
ington outfit never was there in the
clutch.
The work of the Mats was enough
to make Os Bluege. their manager
grayer than ever. He experimental
with various batting orders bui
couldn't get any punch. He availed
himself of every pitcher at his COM
mand, and while a few of the hurl-
ing exhibitions were good, in the
main there was nothing to boast
about. The Nat infield went sour
and even the return of Gil Torres
to the inner defense brought no re-

Jap Broadcast Hints I'm
peridl Navy Is Still
Avoiding Battle
tBy Associated Press

Several United States task forces
and powerful groups of aircraft
carriers" are maneuvering in waters
of the Marianas Islands $500 miles
from Tokyo, but the time is not
yet ripe for our fleet to attack the
enemy" the Tokyo radio asserted in
broadcast yesterday.
The broadcast was attributed to
a naval commentator who said,
"Strategically' speaking, the time
to deliver the coup de grace has
not yet arrived" He later added
that the combined fleet is I'M
doubleday far inferior as far as
aircraft strength is concerned.
Gives Explanation
The Jap broadcast is conceivably
for two purposes; to explain why
the Navy made only one move 70
defend the Marianas, and that a
costly one, or to fish for an in
dication as to where the United
States fleet will strike next.
In the Marianas sea battles the
Japs lost TAT planes and more than
80 ships
The radio also told the home
folks the Marianas situation is
growing more serious every day"
