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

In town again, the grappling business
shows signs of picking up. 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

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

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. (a coach) , and Leo Durocher
(team captain), and he has been an
inspiration to the younger players.

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
