By OAYI.F. TAI.nOT NEW YORK, Aug. 10. (fly The Improbably Henry Armstrong, an In telligent little negro with spindly legs and a fantastic amount of stam lna, will be shooting at fistic 1m mortality when he meets Lou Am bers, the lightweight king, In a 16 round title fight tonight at the Polo grounds. If. he beau Ambers, as he Is favor ed to do, Armstrong will hold the featherweight, lightweight and wel terweight championships. lie will presumably, havo proved himself the greatest fighting man In the world between the lia-pound bantamweight limit and 147 pounds, where the mlddlewelghts begin. That Is a span of 90 pounds, right out of the heart of boxing. No fight er, black or white, nas approached such a record before. Ever)' time Henry pumps his tireless arms to night ho will be aiming at target previously thought beyond any man's reach. Offhand, the human threshing machine would appear to nave as sured tonight's victory when he gave Barney Ross, the aging welterweight ehamp, a fearful beating lust Msy, That made Henry champion of bigger men than Ambers, according to the books, But Ambers has been stub born, and Honry has to prove it. As a matter of faot, he figures to have a lot more trouble with Ambers than he hsd with Ross. Ambers, though colorless, Is a clever little man with a fighting heart and good legs. All he needs to make him a great ohamplon Is a punch. Roes, Incldentslly, has picked Arm strong to win. The near unanimity of opinion on the outcome couldn't help hurting the gate. Tickets have been going slowly, with few out-of-town buyers. and unless there Is a last-nilnute rush, the receipts might not top S70.000.

Last Monday night It was so chilly that more than one mat fan appt ared with his winter overcoat a 1 u n n over his arm, and before the program was finished he had It on. The stadium, really a fine place to stage the matches when the weather ls warm, served Its purpose only.onoe this season. Three weeks ago. In the opening brawl there. It was hot as blazes and patrons thank ed the grapple maestro for holding the affair out of doors. In the past two weeks, however, the cllmite here abouts has been decidedly brisk at night. Monday before last, custom ers shivered only a little. Lut Man day they were actually cold. So, back to the Bartlett street grapple , stronghold goes everything next Mon day, and the weather undoubtedly will turn off hot and sticky as a result Billy Hulen.

Last Monday's card drew the best crowd of any open-air show this seasbn, and If It hadn't been so wintry the mob would have been much larger. When It comes to fan-appeal, color and what have you, the Mad Italian from Weed Is tops, bsr none. Right now, Llllard Is working on ft masterpiece for next Mon day evening, and expects to have definite news regarding same to morrow. It Is another one of those colossal team battles In which two wrestlers attempt to rare two other wrestlers with the most possible hi nod shed. Mack's Idea Is to sena Sgt. Bob Kensston and Belcastro In there against Sockeye Jack McDonald and Joe Smolinskl, two gentlemen who already have blasted their nay to a pair of team victories. In cs.v such a situation can be developed, plan to sit In the balcony, because ring side stools won't be out of the danger zone. Tli la idea suits Kensston fine Twice now. he has been fotced to holler "when" to the MeDonald-Smo-Unakt brotherhood, and both times he figures It was because of anemic help from hla partner. First It was Flash Kelly, and Kelly Is Just not young enough any more to play for keeps with guys like Socr.oye and the Palooka. Next, It was Benny Wilson, and while Wilson ha. enough youth on his side he Isn't the type to play bad man, which Is necessary when you go against fellows of the McDonald. Smolinskl caliber. With a teammate like Pete Delrnntro, Kcnaton hellees he can get plenty of revenge for the severe druhhlng he has been forced to endure at the hands of Sorkrye and Joe. He, for one. Is all for this team matrh Idea. With his help, l lllard will prnh nhly close the deal tonight and announce It tomorrow. Here's hoping. George Klrksey of the United Press In Chicago, said the American league will stick to the mnln show, giving the fans successful high-grade base ball without any side-show or hoopla stuff. He said the yellow ball, night baseball, footraces and ballyhoo men for coaches aren't yet necessary to the success of the Junior circuit. MacPhall. who has been attempt lng to pump new life Into the Dodgers through such means, said: "This ls a free country and Mr. Har ridge ls entitled to blast night base ball and the yellow ball If he so desires. "I resent, howver, the thinly veiled cracks about Babe Ruth, our coach. Mr. Harridge may consider Ruth a 'ballyhoo man.' In any event, Mr. Harridge could not find a place for him In the American league. Ruth has made a valuable contribution to the spirit and morale of our club. He has worked In harmony with Bur leigh Grimes (manager), Tom Shee- han.

MacPhall said Brooklyn hadn't any opinion for or against the yellow ball. He said most players he talked with think there are occasions when use of it might prevent accidents. MacPhall concluded with: "Mr. Harridge to the contrary not withstanding, the Brooklyn club will continue to play a limited number of games at night. We will experi ment again with the yellow ball. We will keep Babe Ruth in our organi sation." j FATHER IS REUNITED WITH CHILDREN LEFT BY EX-HOUSEKEEPER SAW FRANCISCO. Aug. 10-(UP) John Emerson.
