NKW YORK, Juno 1. (AP)
you ice h little blond man run n Ink
today like his coat-tulle were on
fire and glancing hack fearfully
over his left shoulder every now
utul then, the oiI1h are you lire
looking al Lou Ambers, the HkIU
weight I'OxinK champion, who
UK iced lu a moment of avarice to
light Henry Armstrong this com
lug July.

one of the truly great little fight
oik of the decade, wan that Am
hers hud a similar late In ttiore
us Boon us he faced the relent
less IjOK Angeles negro.
Ross Terribly Beaten
Armstrong gave Hohh such a
terrihlo beating that Buruey, (he
right side of his fuce swollen like
a half-moon and IiIb eye tightly
clenched, muttered in IiIh dressing
room that he would never fight
again.
It waKii't Hohh' 28 yearn or f:ifl'
ilig legs that cost him the title.
It wnH a left hook that for 15
rounds ulmost ripped' his head
from IiIh shoulders. For the last
half of the fight he wan Intent
only on lasting the fl.Kinnce.
He tried to fight hack in flur
ries, but his blows after the fifth
round had nothing behind them.
Armstrong, amazingly strong,
merely bored In the harder. At
the flnlBh he accepted his new
championship completely unmark
ed and hb fresh as paint,
If he whips Amhonv Arm
. strong will have captured cham
pionships In three different weight
divisions in less than a year. '
Winner Outweighed
Last night the human pluwheel
weighed 1334 to Boss' 112. Kven
so, Armstrong was the stronger
man every second of the way. He
bulled Bobs about In the clinches
and never allowed Barney to take
tho play except for brier flurries.
The only thing he lacked was u
stiffening punch.
The Associated BresH score
Bhcet credited Armstrong with 11
rounds, Kohb with four, and one of
those went to tho Jewish lad he
cause Referee Arthur lionovan
thought he had been struck low.
After tho eighth round It. was all
Armstrong. Several times Bar
ney's managers begged him to
quit, and at the start or the 12th
round the referee added his plea,
but Barney shook his bead and
went out to take bis medicine.
Rots' Defense Shattered
The most surprising thing about
the fight was Boss' (nubility to es
capo Armstrong's left hooks to tho
head. Those who hud establish
ed Boss a 7-to-5 favorite in the
betting bad hanked on IiIh ilefeii
slve skill to thwart Henry's, at
tack. But gradually (Iicho lefts
wrenched Boss' fuce out of shape
and left him all hut helpless.
For the flint hutf. Armstrong
mostly pumped his right Into Har
ney's ribs. Slowly Barney's gniud
cunio down to protect. IiIh Hide,
and then tho dark destroyer blazed
away at Barney's h'ft jaw.
"I wasn't going to go out Ivlng
down," Boss said laler. "Arm
Htrong is a hell or a figh'er, but
I would have got up It he hud
knocked me down u dozen limes."
l'nr from rinding Kohb IhiirIi,'
Armstrong told iiewmnen It was
one of his easiest lights. li hiiIiI
Barney's blows never bolhered
him,: oven In the opening round i
when the heavier man was hind
inS with everything he hud.

SALKM, .May 31 (AP)
Twenty-one proposed initiative
measures, which would do every
thing from outlawing jurisdiction
al luhor disputes to taxing in
comes over $50,000 per year by
70 per cent, liuve been filed with
the secretary of stale, but there
is little chance many of them will
be passed by the voters in the No-
'inher election. :
It is unlikely that any more
Initiatives will be ottered because i
the completed petitions, bearing
slgnu lures or 20.020 registered
voters must lie tiled by July 7.
(jetting that ntany signatures und
complying with other sections of
the Initiative law In less than two
months Is hard to do.
Oregon was the first slate to
have the Initiative and referendum
but Its voters, disliking laws that
would take money from their pock
ets, have not passed many initiatives.
Most Initiatives Fail
Out of many hundreds of initia
tives which have been filed, only
173 ever reached the ballot. Of
this number only 59 became law.
The tendency of Oregon voters
to reject initiatives has been more
pronounced in recent years. Since
l!17 they have passed 10 and vot
ed ilown 3!).
The initiative and referendum
law- wus pussed in J!io2, and at that
lime the rest of the nation looked
ni)on Oregon as being a radical
state because it gave so much pow
er to its people.
One reason that so many initia
tives Tail to pass prohubly is be-
muse voters don t understand
them. So they vote "no" instead
ol' taking chances on passing some
thing about which they know no
thing. Out of the 21 Initiatives this
year, probably only live or six
will have enough signatures to
place them on the ballot.
Proposals Listed
Here is what' each initiative this
year would provide:
Pensions ol" 10 to S25 a week

A LOOK AND A RIDE AND YOU'LL AGREE...
HERE'S THE CAR OF TH
Big, roomy, strikingly styled . . . today's brilliant Dc Luxe Ford V-8
brings still more of the "fine-car things" to buyers in the lotv-price field!
DE LUXE TUDOR SEDAN" . . . 112-inch u bcMjie, 123-inch springbase, 85 h.p. . . .
Diagonal folding of front seat back gives easy access to rear . . , Ltiggage compart
ment reached from outside . . . Mohair or broadcloth upholstery.
YOU can toll at a glance that
there's a different Vord V-8
this year. In beaut)-, no other car
at any price is like it. But it's not
until you ride in it that you know
how different it is!
No low-priced car has ever been
built to all-round standards as high
ns this one's.
The quiet, flexible "feel" of its
engine is a typical V-8 advantage.
A (eel that only 8 cylinders can give.
Its interior is spacious. Partly
because the body itself is big.
Partly because its short V-8 engine
and long springbase add to the
passengers' share of total length.
. In its rear scat the promise of a
"frout-scat tide" comes true. You
sit well forward of the rear axle . . .
Center-Poised where riding com
fort is naturally at its best.
At the rear of every model is
luggage space that's big . . . and
opens from outside the car.
And with all its size, the car is
fun to drive. Steering, shifting
gears, braking ... are next to ef
fortless. Ford brakes act easily, stop
smoothly . . . and have the safety
' advantage of steel from pedal to
wheel.
Before you spend as much for
any car . . . and certainly before
you pay more . . . learn for yourself
how sharply this Dc Luxe Ford car
steps up the quality standards of
low-cost motoring.
