Record Gate Is Seen
For Angott-Perry
Bout tuesday

A record indoor boxing gate Of
around $4,000 appears likely for
Tuesday nights attraction at Uline
Arena when Sammy Angott, re-
Gently dethroned as the National
Boxing Association world light
weight champion, tests Washing
tons young and promising Aaron
Perry, 18-year-old Negro with ter
rife punch.
The current high paid admission
figure is the SGT $40 collected from
ITO customers at the February 7
battle between Henry Armstrong
and Lew Hanbury. The same sure
fire payoff formula Is present for
Tuesday night as it was then--a
big-name outside fighter coming in
against popular and promising
local boy.
Angott, one of the good little
fighters of recent years, receives a
guaranteed $500 with a choice of
80 per cent of the net gate for his
part of Tuesday nights scrap, and
rules a 81 favorite. Ordinarily a.
man of Angott's caliber would be a.
much heavier favorite against a
fighter who is just stepping into
the upper brackets of professional
boxing. Last month, for example.
he was a I'll choice over Juan
Zurita, and Zurita was we'll known
enough to rank eighth in the Ring
Magazine list and as an outstanding
boxer on the NBA ladder.
Perry's Support Firm.
Perry, however, has plenty Of
hackers helping to keep the price
In line. And he also has world of
natural ability that gives him punch
and boxing skill extremely rare in
one so young. Even though he's
had only II fights he's cool under
fire, as demonstrated only two weeks
ago when ne got of the floor after
taking nine-count to kayo joey
Manfro in the first round at Madi-
son Square Garden. That kind Of
fighting is worth seeing.
Young Aaron hits hard, terrifically
hard, with either hand. He's a
big-boned, strong boy and plenty
fast. He's won 16 of his II profess
sional fights, although in none of
them has he met any one approach
ing Angottis caliber. Only loss was
to Tiger Nelson, local club fighter.
In his first engagement, which is
one OF those things hard to explain.
If they were to meet today Perry
probably could chill Nelson with one
hand tied behind him, actually.
| Angott Has the Works.
Angott has the big edge in expert
ence, with more than l25 scraps
behind him. He began getting paid
for fighting in 1886. He's not quite
as big as is Perry, although he's
very broad and muscular across the
shoulders. AS only natural in ono
who has been around the top so
long he's a versatile fighter with an
especially good left hook and a
swishing uppercut. Since dropping
his world lightweight championship
he's moved up among the welters
and is five pounds heavier and
should be that much stronger. He
figures as the winner over Perry,
who despite a world of promise
still has to be tested by a really
f1rst-class battler.

In letter TO Roy wilkins. acting

McCloy. Assistant Secretary OF War,

Robert A. Taft in which IL was ex-
planned that the 9Th and 10th-al-
though not designated by name -
have been used TO provide certain
additional service units TO meet an
early requirement Of the highest
importance" In explaining the con-
version Of the famous old fighting
regiments into service troops Mr.
McCloy wrote Senator Taft:
Unfortunately currently consti-
tuted service units were all COM
mitted TO definite tasks. They could
not be Withdrawn from these tasks
without seriously interfering with
planned operations. and the short
time available for the organization
and training OF the needed units
made il imperative 10 utilize pre-
vlously trained personnel 1t was
found that the only available source
for such personnel was certain UNI
committed combat units. = including
the Second Cavalry Division.
las mentioned previously, the
military situation demanded that
trained personnel in considerable
numbers be made Immediately
available. Since the Second Cavalry
Division was the only source from
which such personnel could be
Withdrawn without delaying the
war effort. the War Department was
compelled 10 effect this change in
its utilization Needless 10 say. the
decision would necessarily have
been the same had this Division
been composed OF white personnel"
