Sammy Gains Support Of Fans Despite Odds Quoted By Bookmakers By SID FEDER Associated Press Staff Writer! New York, July 30 There is something going on in the better known Forty-ninth street betting shoppes today that is puzzling the pricemakers no end. Now, puzzling a price maker is quite a trick. Any gentleman who makes a habit of fooling around with things like five-horse parlays doesn't puzzle easily.

But the leading citizens of the industry are more than a little baffled right now over the betting support being shown for Sammy Angott in his fight with unbeaten Ray Robinson tomorrow night in Madison Square Garden. It's not so much that the boys and girls are putting their bobs right on Sammy's swarthy nose. It the reason they give for doing it that they're betting on the little Washington (Pa.) Italian simply because he's already been beaten once by Robinson. 15,000 May Attend It Is plain to sec that this just doesn't add up especially to the bookies, who have made the skinny Sugar Man a l-to-2 choice to re peat his previous win over the lightweight champ, this time in a non-title ten-rounder, which Promoter Mike Jacobs hopes will attract a crowd of 15,000. Yet, there's something to it, even though the Harlem Hammer carries into the ring (at 10 P.

E.W.T.) the longest winning streak in mod ern fight history 121 in a row as an amateur and a pro. For, if there's one thing Sammy enjoys more than sitting down to dinner it's getting a second crack at a guy who's beaten him before. Only seven clouters have outpointed him in the last six years. Four of them didn't know when they were well off and tried it again. And Sammy reversed the procedure on each.

Fester Picks Angott The last time they fought, Robin son nearly took Sammy's head off with a right-hand haymaker in the second round, and then had to go all out to stand off Angott's clos. ig rush. As a matter of fact, Ang. tt won three of the last four rounds Sammy's crowding, body-bangi lg style of workmanship is just le system that's unpleasant, to 6ay ie least, for Robinson. Marty Servo showed that in giving Ray a rough evening a couple of months ago with the same sort of stuff.

Transport Indicate Mild Revolution State Revenues Feel Pressure As Trolley, Bus And Taxi Business Increases With gasoline rationing less than three months old, its effects on revenues, traffic loads, traffic vio lations and public transportation are beginning to indicate a mild revolution. State income from motor vehicle and gasoline tax revenues are beginning to feel the oressure; transportation companies are resorting to a search for second-hand vehicles to meet the need created by the us of fewer privately owned cars, and streetcars and taxicabs are reaping the increased passenger harvest. 42 Per Cent. Decrease Since January, according to Walter N. Kirkman, State budget director, 1942 motor-vehicle registrations have increased 0.1 per cent.

However, during the month of June a registration fee slump of forty-two per cent, was noted as against the amount collected during the same month last year. During the first nine months of the fiscal year. Mr. Kirkman said, the State received $5,569,589, only two tenths of one per cent, above the $5,555,310 that was collected in automobile revenues during the same period in the 1940-41 fiscal year. The State still expects to collect approximately $6,000,000 before September 30.

the end of the fiscal year, according to the budget director. Violations Decline Mr. Kirkman said that gasoline tax revenues for June would be about thirty per cent, less than they were in June, 1941. Decreased traffic violations, with attendant decreases in State and city revenues, is another indication of the chanRing times. Records at police headquarters yesterday disclosed that violations of all types, except parking, fell off during the last six montns Dy io.oo The number of such violations mrriiri in the last six months numbered 22,861, as compared to 38.539 for the corresponding period last year.

More Stringent Laws Parting violations alone in creased from 42.499 for the first tiv months of 1941 to 68,924 for the last six months, but the variation, according to police fficials. is directly attributable to more stringent laws, which went into effect shortly after the first of this year. Traffic loads on main arteries have decreased, according to Police Department traffic experts, with the exception of several roads which are heavily used by defense workers. With the use of private motor ears falling off sharply under the gasoline rationing plan, trolleys and taxicabs are getting increased patronage. Trained Drivers Sought Operators of busses and taxicabs are M-outing for trained drivers, and the training of new motormen Curfew On Juke Boxes As Of Next Monday Beginning Monday, August 3, the playing of any music box after the hour of midnight will be prohibit! In all licensed establishments, cept those which are air-condi tioned and in which all windows and doors are habitually kept closed.

This ruling was announced yesterday by the Board of Liquor License Commissioners as a result of a constant stream of complaints which have been flowing into its offices. Between 1,500 and 1,800 taverns will be affected by the ruling, was the estimate made by James Shea, secretary of the liquor board. Of these, not more than 150 are equipped with mechanical air conditioning, according to estimates made by several establishments selling the equipment. Proprietors of taverns and restaurants where music boxes are played will be informed of the move by Monday morning, Mr. Shea said.

Copies of the restriction will be delivered in person by mem bers of the police force. CAR CLUB BACKER WANTS TO JOIN ONE Or. T. J. Thompson, Highway Committee Head, Seeks Ride To Capital Three weeks ago Dr.

J. T. Thompson told Baltimoreans to form car-pooling clubs yesterday he was ooking for a club for himself. Chairman of the National High way iralhc Advisory Committee, Dr. Thompson warned all Balti moreans that they would soon be without gasoline or transportation if they did not share their automo biles.

And yesterday he filed hi? appli cation to loin a car-pooling club with the exchange being operated with the Automobile Club of Mary land. To Capital Every Day Head of the civil engineering de partment of the Johns Hopkins University, Dr. Thompson commutes from his home here to Washington every day. And he wants a ride or is willing to trade ridus with someone else who drives to Washington and so notified J. Hugh Taylor, who oper ates the club's exchange.

Mr. Taylor said that Dr. Thompson's ap plication was just one out of more than 100 requests from people who want to double up with their neighbors. More Every Day "We are getting more applications every day," Mr. Taylor said, "and right now we are trying to match them up with one another." "The city has been divided into 118 distrts and v.e hope to form several clubs in each district," he added.

In the files of the Automobile Club's headquarters. Cathedral street and Mount Royal avenue, the exchange service has a different colored card for the different types of applicants. Some people are just looking for rides and they are put on pink cards. Owners On White People who own cars and are looking for passengers are put on white cards and car owners who "We are looking for more applicants," he said, "since it will be easier to group people from the same neighborhood if we have more applicants from whom to draw."

Eastern All-Stars And Brook lyn Dodgers To Meet At Stadium Sept. 16 Hancock Pledges Support To Fill Arena For Relief Bene-' fit Contest By CRAIG E. 'TAYLOR (Continued from Page 24) well prepared the advance ticket distribution that Navy has been in the custom of scheduling two such games annually at the Stadium. The field will be given to the Armv-Brooklvn game free of charge.

Only the actual expenses of ticket sellers and collectors, printing and distribution of tickets, and the incidental expenses of the teams themselves will be deducted from the receipts. Hancock advised that the tickets be priced at $2 for the side stands and $1 for the horseshoe, plus tax in each instance. Under such division, a gross gate of $100,000 is forecast. Surface Resodded The Stadium 'field was subjected to considerable wear by the Army Show and the rodeo which followed, but it has just been re- sodded. Hancock said last night that the time remaining should be ample to have the sod knit into the earth and with watering and roll ing it will be ready for the fall schedule, which will begin with the Army Relief game.

In addition, the Stadium has the Navy games with Yale. October 17, and with Columbia, November 14. Maryland, moreover, has games there with Western Maryland October 24, and with Rutgers October 10. The annual City-Poly encounter is listed for November 21, a date which cost the Stadium a contest between Maryland and one, of the Navy pre-flight aviation schools. Firemen and Marines have not yet chosen the date for their annual clash.

With six weeks in which to pre- a aare ail me various uciana major football encounter, and with the purpose of the contest to raise funds for army relief having wide appeal, followers of sport here are sure the goal can be obtained. Tennessee Coach Colonel Neyland, a big-league football coach at Tennessee Uni versity, never has brought a team to the field which has been visited bv Knute Rockne, Jack Sutherland Wallace Wade. Dick Harlow and manv other prominent figures of the eridiron. The war, which brought Colonel Neyland into active duty with the army engineers, also is responsi ble for the fact that Sutherland will not' coach the Brooklyn pros this season. Only a few weeks ago Jock was commissioned a lieutenant commander in the United States Naval Reserve, and he turned over the head coaching job at Brooklyn to Mike Getto, his first assistant.

Developed Team Sutherland brought the once weak Dodgers to a position in which they could challenge any rival. Colonel Neyland has called the Eastern Stars to practice at Yale University in New Haven, next week. He willbe assisted ty aides who have played under him with the Volunteers of Tennessee University in recent years. Herman Hickman, who made third All-America in 1930, will come to New Haven to be head line coach from a similar position at North Carolina State. Lieut.

Bob Woodruff, of the corps of engineers at Fort Belvoir in Virginia, will assist. He played tackle at Knox ville for three years, and was as sistant line coach with the Vols last fall. End Coach Murray Warmuth, who will coach the ends, played guard at Tennessee for three years and was grad uated in 1934. After having served as assistant line coach at Tcnnes- see, he is now line coacn ai Mississippi State. a.

a The team physician, manager and trainer, respectively, will be Capt. Bob Brashear, Lieut. Bob Eldridge and Mickey O'Brien all former Tennessee staff men. The game was shifted to this city from Jersey City, where it was discovered September 16 date at that city could not be reserved, since it might conflict with the playoff of the International Baseball League. Since the Army All-Starr were committed to a brief, packed schedule which permitted little or no change in dates, it was decided to take the game out of Jersey City, and the Park Board here began its successful efforts to land the at traction for the Stadium.

Topnotch Athletes The flexibility of the army plans for the two teams, designated East and West, assures that in all con tests the soldiers will be represented by topnotch athletes. Not only are the men selected from 1,500 star candidates in fine phy sical shape to begin with, but they have a lot of collective experience behind them. Colonel Neyland will have a squad of seventy players on the Army bench, service men who made their gridiron mark on the college and professional teams prior to joining the army. Furthermore, should either di vision have a more difficult sched ule at hand at any given time, the coaches are directed to provide players to supplement the other squad. I Ferd Doyle Will Manage Team; Pilot Denies Statement From League President Paul Trautner will continue to operate a team in the American Soccer League, he said yesterday.

denying an Associated Press dispatch from Philadelphia to the effect that both Baltimore teams were out of the league for the approaching campaign. Trautner disclosed that the Baltimore Soccer Club had discontinued after nine years in the circuit, but that the Baltimore Ameri cans would continue for their fifth campaign. He notified Emil Schii-linger, league president, that he was not exercising the option of withdrawal for the duration of the war, which the league had voted to extend to both Baltimore teams. Instead, Trautner obtained Ferd Doyle to be field manager of the Americans. Until last year Doyle ran the Baltimore Soccer Club.

Then Tommy Amrhein succeeded him, and this season decided not to continue. For players, the team will have the squad available from the Americans plus all those that Doylc can sign to strengthen the team. The league will begin operations in September. Prior to that time. Doyle will call (he squad for practice, and before the circuit gets under way Trautner plans a game for Army and Navy Relief.

In addition he will schedule practice games with crews of any foreign ships which are in port. 14 Firemen Were Injured While Fighting Blaze In Roland Park The Baltimore grand jury this morning will be given information gathered following a fire and explosions last Tuesday at the home of Royal W. Gill, in Roland Park, where four fifty-gallon containers were removed from the premises after the blaze. J. Bernard Wells, State's Attor ney, announced that he had received a report from the Fire Department on the fire and two explosions which injured thirteen firemen, two seriously.

Permanent ration books totaled 347,512. Of this number 346,257 were issued to motorists signing up for the basic books. The remaining 1,255 were books for motorcycles. census was not sufficient to justify larger allowances. Officials said the changes in allowances were made on the basis of studies of county populations.

As a result, the new increased quotas in the 204 counties and the District of Columbia will total nearly pounds of coffee and about 1,000,000 of tea each month. Prior to yesterday's ruling, each county has been allowed seventy-five per cent, of the coffee it received in the same month last year and fifty per cent, of the tea. Under the new provision, Baltimore county will get in the future eighty-two per cent, of the coffee it received last year, and fifty-five per cent, of the tea it received a year ago. Other counties in Maryland receive the following increases applying to both coffee and tea: Prince George's, 25 per Montgomery, 25; Howard, 10; Harford, 10; Charles, 12.5; Anne Arundel, 10. JESSE A.

LINTHICVM I ANOTHER DAY is set aside to air the views of fans. The subjects cover baseball and boxing. From Sterling W. Klein local attorney, comes the follow ing: "I am writing you with reference to a subject which has been dis cussed many times the possibility of securing a big-league franchise for Baltimore. "Now, this letter would not have been written except for one fact he chance to secure this franchise right here; that is, in the laps of the, citizens and sports writers of Baltimore.

But it is more in the hands of a person by the name of Tames A. Farley. "In this week's News Week mag azine in the section called Peri scope there appeared the following Jim Farley is still seeking the New York Yankees but if not sue cessful will try to buy some other big-league Now, what better chance do we want? Here is a man with money, political influence and sporting acumen. I have written Mr. Farley of this proposition and hope others will do likewise.

Let make a real campaign out of it! "Baltimore is bursting with peo pie at the 1,300,000 mark and larger than Washington, Boston Cincinnati. St. Louis and Cleveland, all represented in the big time, and St. Louis and Boston with two teams, at that! "My idea is to shift either the Browns or Phils to Baltimore. The schedule can be arranged so as not to conflict with the Senators Don't worry, Jim Farley could work it out.

Then some day we 11 have the Orioles playing the Dodgers or Yankees in the World Series. In the meantime, stick with those Birds! S. Oh, yes, the Orioles out drew the Phils and Browns in last Sunday's double-header!" iritir Likes 'Em Young BEN SHOCKET, 1513 East Preston street, comments as follows on the young Orioles: "I see in the paper where you write against the Orioles high school players. There is nothing wrong with them in my opinion Tom Hughes came to the Orioles with only a little sandlot expen ence. In one or two seasons he went to the majors.

"Ted Sczepkowski is plenty good and next season might surprise you by batting high over .300. I think Ray Flanigan is all right, but he does not receive enough rest be tween games. "Some of the veterans aren't as good as the young players. If you want the Orioles to land in the first division you've got to encourage them and 'Stick With Those S. Ted is just atarting to hit." ditit The Reason Louis H.

Niemye 323 South East avenue, wants youngsters to know why Jack Dunn shifted his franchise to Richmond during the Federal League days. He writes "Please tell your readers that the old Orioles went to Richmond be cause the people of Baltimore had just installed the Federal League, and the opening day had 30. 1)00 people. Across at Dunn's field the Orioles playing the same day had about 50 people. Thi ic really why the old Orioles went to Rich mond and not because they could not satisfy, as you said in the Morn ing Sun.

Let the readers know the truth, especially the young rooters. so please print the story in your column." why they went to Rich mond." itbCt The Slugger "A BOXING FAN" has a word of praise for Slugger White. "Sam Lampe's fighter, Slugger White, is about the most underrated fighter around these parts," he writes. "I thought he was superb Monday when he fought the crafty and safety-first Leo Rodak. "If it had not been for White there would have been no fight.

He did all of the leading; Rodak did the grabbing. In my opinion the Slugger won rather easily. Get them back for a longer fight as you proposed, and Baltimore fans will be given a real treat." Efforts are being made to bring them back. They'll meet in a 12 or 15 rounder if the efforts of the Century Club are successful. It would pack them in.

White deserves this shot. In order to entice Rodak into the ring he and Lampe, the big Silent One, were forced to guarantee Leo $750. In other words if the fans had not responded so liberally it was possible for White to have fought for a bag of peanuts. Rodak would have received all of the money as well as a gift decision. Bring White and Rodak back real soon.

The fans are demanding this one.

City's Supply Of Stimulant Unchanged put into runs to remotely located defense areas, having lately employed school busses on a big scale. In ten days the number of riders from Baltimore to Middle River cn the Rosedale Passenger Line's busses, operated by A. J.

Selling, has increased to a degree requiring the use of forty-one in place of thirty-four busses a gain of seven pieces of forty-passenger equipment. The Monumental Motor Tours, also running to Middle River, has found it necessary to double up on three separate runs by putting in additional sections. The Baltimore Motor Coach Company has put three busses on a run to Middle River, where ten days ago a single bus sufficed to carry the traffic. "Business is increasing tremendously." said a company spokesman last night. 500 Passengers Added In the last week the Edgewood Arsenal operation of the Dependable Motors, has gained 500 additional passengers.

Busses and trolleys running into all the war production plants are daily gaining new passengers. It is the consensus of filling station operators, traffic policemen, taxicab and bus drivers that private car traffic is one third to fifty per cent, less than normal. "The motorists with A books arc iising them sparingly." said Lawrence F. Salfner, secretary of lietail Gasoline Dealers' Association, last night. "They quickly figure out you can drive only sixty miles--or Baltimore to Westminster and return on the amount allowed them weekly." Tires Wearing Out For another thing, tires on the tars of many motorists not entitled to recaps or retreading are giving way in numbers.

A leading filling station operator aid he had been called upon to repair twenty tires yesterday. "That's about what we handled normally in a month," he said.

Seven Maryland counties were included among 204 counties in 42 States and the District of Columbia in the new ruling which provides for increases ranging from 10 to 100 per cent, in coffee and tea delivery quotas, beginning in August.
