WASHINGTON, Feb. 7J -TV
Hammerin Henry Armstrong, one
time owner of three world boxing
titles, knocked out Lew Han bury.
Washington hopeful, in the third
round of a scheduled 10-rounder
tonight Armstrong weighed 139
and Hanbury, who was counted
out while 'on one knee in a cor

Armstrong, in the course of his
third comeback attempt, clipped
Hanbury, a former sparring part'
ner, with a vicious right hook af
ter an exchange of jabs 'which
opened the third round.'
Hanbury, 21 years old, dropped
to his knees in a corner. He got
up and was ready to resume hos
tilities but Referee Eddie Lafond
ruled Lew had been down for the
count of 10. .. f
The end came after one minute
and 10 seconds of the third round.
Armstrong opened up with a two
fisted attack that sent .Hanbury
reeling Into the ropes. He .went
down on- the third right to the
jaw. The decision was boosed by
some of the 9000 spectators who
evidently believed that Hanbury
was counted out before the 10
