Billy Hulen says: Win by Armstrong Gives Black Boys Corner On Titles Henry Armstrong really mode box ing history Wednesday night when he socked out a 15 -round decision over Lou Ambers. In addition to becoming the first man to ever hold three, champion ships simultane ously, he brought to the Negro race the most o o m piete domination of the fight game ever enjoyed by "cullud folks." Already feath er weight and wel terweight cham pion, the Los An geles darkle add ed t h a 1 1 a h t-H 01117 11 men. weight crown -to nia uohcuion by He King Ambers, and as he did so the Ethiopian race took over the championship of live of the eight weight divisions of the Industry.

All the oinera are held by Negroes, Armstrong In the above throe mentioned, John Henry Lewis In the light-heavy weight and Joe Louis In the heavyweight class. And. there seems to be no white battlers around at present who can be considered serious threats to any of those dark champions, unless It be Cefertno Oarcla, the welterweight, or Ambers in a return go with Arm strong.

SOCKEYE TO GET Sockeye Jack McDonald thinks he received a very raw deal two weks ago when he last a bitter wrestling match to Pete Belcastro at the high school arena, and next Monday night In the Medford armory the big ex logger from Seattle wilt get his chance to prove to all and vundry that he can "whip" the Mad Italian anytime he sets his mind to It. McDonald Is honestly plenty burn ed up over the previous deal. With the falls standing one apiece. Bel castro fired a dropklck to Sockeyc's chin, then clambered on him as he sank to the carpet. Referee Earl Yoakley quickly counted Sockeye out.

AUSTRALIAN PLAYS TWO-FISTED GAME BROOK LINE, Mas., Aug. ID. Tennis being a two-fisted game, Jack Bromwich, the brilliant young Aus tralian who Is a Davis cup veteien at the age of 10, plays It the two- fisted way. That's one reason why A us train, having swept Its first two Davis cup singles matches from OermAny at the Longwiud Cricket club yesterday. rates a strong favorite today to clinch the doubles and a chance to meet the United States for the cup. As for Bromwlch's being a two fisted player, that Is meant literally His epponent can't hit ball to Jack's backhand because he hasn't any. Ambidextrous, he serves with his right arm. If a ball comes to his left, he shifts the racquet to his oth er hand and thus hits it as a fore hand. If It comes to his right, he grasps the racquet with both hands like a baseball bat and whams awny tor dear life. Scores Yesterday Coatt. San Diego 9. Los Angeles 6. San Francisco 1. Portland 4.

The three top outllta are tied for the leadership with five wins and one loss, and with only one more game to piay after Sunday, a dfcit for any of the pace-setters will practically mean elimination from the second-half chase. At Medord, Manager Paul ' Hcras- ler" Hotford win lead his Craters Into action for the first time, send ing them against a dangerous Olen dale team fired by a belief they were treated unjustly when they were forced to forfeit n game to Medford early In tho second-half.

The same situation occurred in the ;irst half. with Crescent City nosing out the championship by. beating Meufr.rd while Grants Pass lost to Yreka. E ON SORE ARM LIST By the Associated Press King Carl Hubbell Joined Lefty Grove on the sore arm list today, and the New York Olants pennant stock, like that of the Boston Red Sox before It, hit the skids in a neat nose-dive. Hubbell. clubbed by the Brooklyn Dodgers. 5-8, yesterday, came up with an ailing pitching wing that may necessitate an operation. It will definitely keep him on the side lines for at least a week or two. and may prevent him from taking his place on the firing line the rest of the year. Here are the two greatest left handers of their day. Old Square Pants and Old Mose probably the most feared pitching pair In the game in the last six or eight years and both shelved In the same month, drove's arm went "dead." and now the Hub has a painful elbow trouble. A chipped bone may be revealed when X-rays are taken of HubbelPs elbow next week. Fortunately for Terry's Terriers, their setback yesterday didn't send them farther In the hole, for the Pirates absorbed a 5-1 drubbing at the hands of the St. Louis Cardinals and Lefty Bob Weilands four-hit flinging.

Eyston, also of England, who also is here to seek a new world speed record for the measured mile, witnessed his rival's flashing performance. Eyston set the present mark of 311.41 miles ail hour here last No vember. "The car performed perfectly, and I am ready to go after the record attempt without another test run," said Cobb.
