The Once of Price Administra-

ment and praised for it three days
ago by President Roosevelt, had a
resignation in protest OF policy on
its hands today.
1t was submitted yesterday by
Harry D. Robinson, director of the

contended his recommendation for
protecting the public against quality
deterioration of clothing and other
goods had been ignored by OPA
price branch officials.
Mr.. Robinson told a reporter that

his program to price commodities
according to grade to the extent the
law allows. He blamed Congress, too
saying the lawmakers had shown
"a tendency to oppose price con-

control.
Deputy Price Administrator James

submitted his resignation, could not
be reached for comment. Another

When wiry little Mike Guerra
came back to the Mats at the Col
lege Park training camp in the
spring, Skipper Os Bluege and his
aides we're only little more than
hopeful he would make fair un-
derstudy to the veteran Rick Fer
rell behind the bat. They weren't
so sure he would be able to handle
the butterfly deliveries of the
knuckle- -balling brigade and they
didn't regard him as any particu-
lar menace at bat. About all they
credited Guerra with possessing
beyond average catching ability was
speed afoot, something rare among
catchers.
So Guerra, once he got the chance
when ripped thumb put Ferrell
on the shelf temporarily, proceeded
to show his bosses we're all wrong.
He's been catching the knucklers
as well as any other in the league,
has handled these difficult pitch
ers, he's batted for a cool 1924 over
a fair span, and he has been
very handy man to have around
in pinches. In short, Guerra is one
of the big reasons why the Mats
today are in second place in the
American League race, only two
games off the pace-setting New
York Yankees.
Surprises With Power.
Guerra reached his peak last
night as the Mats with a superb
display of gameness dragged
seemingly lost game out Of the fire
to score 4-to-3 victory over
Clevelands Indians in II innings.
He not only handled nicely a we'll
pitched piece of work by Johnny
Niggeling, veteran knuckler, but
also adroitly STAYED off a deter
mined Tribal bid for a run that
if successful would have ended the
game against the Mats over the
regulation route.
And, on top of this, he slammed a
430-foot home run with Gil Torres
on base after one was out in the
ninth inning to get the Mats back
IN the ball game, then singled with
one gone in the 11th to blaze the
way to the decisive tally.

high light the major leagues as the
first month of the season ended
with the Brooklyn outfielder's Ala
mark 46 points higher than the 1868
compiled by Thurman Tucker of
Chicago, the new American League
pace-setter.
Nick Etten of the Yankees

and Ford Garrison of Philadelphia.
Garrison hoped into the upper

Next behind Walker in the Ma

Cincinnati's bull pen has yielded a

Tobins no-hit, no-run job and base
ball today is beginning to wonder
whether the pitching is so good
or the hitting so bad. Two hitless
games have been tossed within a
month where none was recorded in
the last two years.
While Shoun was blanking Bos-

hitter, the st. Louis Cardinals broke
out with nine runs in the first
inning against Philadelphia, Brook
lyn leveled Chicago with a 17-hit
attack and the New York Giants
gave the hitting profession another
boost with Is safeties at Pittsburgh.
Argument Appears Even.
So far the argument is even-
stephen on the pitching VS.. hitting
debate but the uneven early-season
performances are giving the record
books a good workout.
When Shoun turned back Boston
without hit, on top of Bucky
Walters one-hitter Sunday, it was
the first time since 1917 that
club has been so completely stopped
on two successive days. Twenty
seven years back Ernie Koob and
Bob Green of the Browns held
Chicago hitless in two of a three
game series.
Shoun's job topped Tobin's be-
cause he walked only one and Tobin
passed two. After Tobin strolled in
the third and died on first, not a
Boston batsman reached base.
Chet Covington, who pitched
baseball's only perfect game in 1943
for Scranton, Pa, in the Eastern

Angott Bout Is Prize
For Victor in Perry,
Armstrong Battle

Aaron Perry today saw the way
open to another chance at Sammy
Angott in the bout the 18-year-old
colored welter has wanted ever since
the former NBA lightweight champ
licked him in Split decision here

string Of IA straight wins.
This chance was assured when
Charley Jones, Angotts manager,
advised Promoter Goldie Ahearn
that his fighter will be available for
a July date with the winner of next
Monday nights 10-round bout be-
tween Perry and Henry Armstrong
at Griffith Stadium.
"11l make much better fight
against Angott next time and just
give me the chance to prove it,
Perry told Manager Harry Garsh
after that last meeting.
Armstrong holds close decision
over Angott, but admits that the
Washington Pa.) veteran is one of
the toughest fighters he has met.
Angott and Perry set a new indoor
high for boxing show locally when
they met at Uline Arena several
weeks ago, pulling in a gross of
$50, ,O00 Just previously Armstrong
and Lew Hanbury had set the high
mark of $4,000.

To Angott Contest
In Facing White
BY the Associated Press.

PHILADELPHIA, May 16.-Hard-

Negro lightweight from Trenton, N.
j., goes to the ring a probable 81
favorite tonight, set on knocking out
Luther (Slugger) White and earn
ing a crack at Ex-Champ Sammy
Angott in the bargain.
The winner of tonight's clash is
promised bout against Angott at
Philadelphia's Shibe Park-already
signed for June to IA.
And Ike has an extra incentive
he wants to get even for that 12-
round knockout dealt him a few
months back by Bob Montgomery,
recognized as lightweight champion
by New York and Pennsylvania.
Since then the 20-year-old favor
lite has won 10 of II starts-his only
defeat dealt at Angott's hands.
Seven victories were by the knock
out route and five were scored in a
row. Among his victims were Ellis
Phillips, one round; joey Peralta,
nine rounds, and Mike Della, one
round.
But even though some fans pre-
dict that odds may drop to FL or
even money in favor of the Trenton
contender-if enough money turns
up for Luther White-the "Slueger"
may prove troublesome.
The former holder of the Mary
land version of the lightweight title,
Wnle OF Baltimore and also a Ne
