Last week, the famed Homestead Grays faced the Cleve­ land Buckeye in the third and fourth game of the Negro Baseball World series at Yankee stadium.

One of the greatest of these I’d call , . . Sammy Angott, white Rusian, who fight around the 135- MO poundage. A fortnight ago Angott, who had been out of the ring for quite a pell, technically kayoed one Ike Williams, N BA Lightweight Boxing champion in six rounds. William was favored to whip Angott but instead, he suffered a side injury causing the arbiter to half the proceedings. Ask Ray Robinson, best fighter in the world for his weight, about this Angott gentleman. He is one of the most unorthodox fighting, maulingest little man oxtant. The crowds boo the hell out of these spoilers but I get a kick out of them. Another champion spoiler is Cleveland’s Jimmy Bivins, finest exponent of the sneak punch in ring annals. Others would include Fritzie Zivic, Lee Oma, Buddy Saunders, Archie (excepting Bivins fight) Moore, Jake La­ Motta, RookyGraziano, Lee Oma and Tony Schucco, Boston 175 pounder. Teddy Felton . . .
