J ! i i | [, l First Inning Homer by Seals Is Just Too Much for Seattle F ated Press) The hard pressed Los Angeles An- gels lost the services of two of their best players by injuries in a twelve- inning game with Hollywood last night. Gene Lillard, strikeout ex- pert, will be out of the game for the remainder of the season with a fractured ankle, received in the tenth inning when he slid into sec- ond base. Eddie Mayo, second base- man, was hit in the elbow by a pitched ball and sent to the hospi- tal for examination. Portland took a close one from the second place Senators. The Seals beat Seattle by virtue of a first inning homer by Ted Jen- nings. San Diego lost to Oakland as the Acorns bunched three of their four hits to score all of their runs.

The spectacular western negro and titleholder are ready to tear into each other tonight at the Polo Grounds with the lightweight championship at stake. ! Armstrong, who captured the featherweight and welterweight championships within the past nine months, will be shooting for the honor of being the first man in boxing history to wear three world crowns. He is almost a 1 to 3 shot to make good his threat al- though there is a small determined group who insist Ambers will win. Ambers weighed in this afternoon at 135 pounds and Armstrong tipped the scales at 1334 pounds.
