how to fight back. After his fam

running many, many blocks to

for life against kids much bigger

He had a few amateur fights

Salem, Oregon, Wednesday, October 3, 1956
Then, all of a, sudden he began
to click.
First thing anybody knew, he
was whirlwinding his way through
one opponent after another.
Petey Sarron, the National Box
ing Association feather
weight champ, was matched with
him, for the title. It took several
rounds with Armstrong winding
up cleaning Pctey's plow good.
Idle one.
Wilh a "crown" but very little
money, he started to look. around
for other titles. - . I
His next chance came in a title
bout with tough Barney Ross, then
holder of the welter crown. It was
the first time afeatherweight was
allowed to challenge the welter
weight champ.
Henry had been fighting at 126;
Ross at 147. The law said Arm
strong had to make 138 pounds
at weighin, which mcana another
12 pounds. Eddie Mead, his man
ager, told him how. He made the
boy drink gallons of beer to
"build up the appetite.
"If I had known what that beer
habit was to do to me later," the
little fighter said, "I never would
have touched the stuff titles or
no titles."
Wins Third Title
Well, Henry made the weight
and took away the Ross crown.
He gave lightweight champion
Lou Ambers, more near his size,
the same treatment later for title
number three.
Then came the limousines and
the fancy duds he had dreamed
of while in rags as a barefoot
kid. Money rolled in, and by the
time he retired he had a bundle
of long green that went into six
figures. All tied in paid-up an
nuities. Then a spell of living
high on the pork. Cars, yachts,
booze. At length he was out of
limousines and yachts and worse,
down to his last car token. He
decided to get off the trail that
leads only down and "get in the
corner of the Lord.
He went into the ministry. One
of his main interests now is the

Duke Snider, Jackie Robinson and

The world championship may
very well go to the team with
the stoutest relief pitching. That's
one department where the Dodg

kees. The American Leagua
cnamps, wno wnippca tne Dodg
ers five straight times In World
Series competition until they wer

one to match bullpen aces Clem '

Alston did not consider the ex- 1
hausting pennant race a disad
vantage. "I'm counting on the momen
tum to carry us through," he
said. ....
Not Four Straight
Stengel's only comment was: "I
expect to win every game I play,
but I don't see how anyone can
win this in four straight."
Both teams were at full strength
but three Yanks and one Dodger
were not at their physical peak.,
Mickey Mantle, who missed most
of the '55 series, is still' bothered
a bit by a groin injury; second
baseman Billy Martin has an ach
ing back and 40-year-old Enoi
Slaughter, who will patrol left
field, has a bad toe. The diagnosis
of Roy Campanula's perennially
aching right thumb Is: "Not ia
good shape but it has been .
worse."
The lineups that won the pen
nants will remain intact for at
least the first game.
Amoros tn Play
Alston, who first had intended
to bench southpaw-hitting Sandy
Amoros against lefthanded pitch
ing, switch Junior Gilliam to left
and play rookie Charlie Neal at -second
base, changed his mind
yesterday,
"I thought It over," explained
Alston, "and decided to stick with
Amoros because he's hot. When
Sandy is hot, he can hit anyone."
The manager, however, dropped
Amoros from fifth spot in the bat
ting order to eighth, keeping Duke
Snider, his only other lefthanded
hitter, in the third slot, and ele
vating Gil Hodges and Carl Furil
lotto fifth and sixth. Jackie Rob
inson continued in the cleanup
spot.
Stengel planned no change in
his batting order which had Bauer
leading off, Mantle batting third
and Berra fourth.
