Sweet Swatter's Sad Sixth
With one of those popular
battle royali on the schedule,
with jitter-bugging Danny Me
Shane rlvtcd to a contract, and
with three weeks of no wrest'
ing during the Fourth of July
season, if next Monday night's
armory grapple doesn't do a
tweet piece of business. Pro
moter Mack Lillard will begin
to believe his enterprise here
. is really jinxed.
For several weeks prior to
the July 4 shutdown, fans stav
ed away from the arena in vast
droves. The reason, Lillard be
lieves, was due to a number of
circumstances: the torrid wea
ther, too many clean and scien
tifie performers, and by the
same token not enough bad
boys, and the possibility that
, customers had had their mat
appetities pretty well dulled by
the every-weck programs.
That three-week layoff, the
battle royal and Danny Me
Bhane should be lust the
proper mixture to bring the
boys and sl'l flocking back
to the Barlleit street torso
twisting tabernacle, the pro
moter believes. And to whip
up even more Interest in the
fight festival. Mack his des
ignated it as ladies' night.
Ail In all, it looks to Lillard
like a near-sellout, and he
claims that it will be if there
are still 1,200 wrestling cli
ents in the Medford area.

New York, July 18 flJ.R)
The New York boxing commis
sion today ordered Promoter
Mike Jacobs to withhold the
ptirset of Lew Jenkins and
Henry Armstrong, who fought
last night at the Polo grounds.
No immediate reason was
given, but the commission an
nounced it would meet tomor
row, and ordered all persons
connected with the fight to ap
pear before it.
The order was contained in a
letter to Jacobs from John J.
Phelan, chairman of the New
York boxing commission.
One puzzling feature of the
order was that the letter was
dated yesterday and apparently
was written before the fight.
There was a controversy in
the dressing room l-st night
before the fight, over the
amount of bandages that should
be put on Armstrong's hands.
There was said to be a private
agreement between Hymie Cap-
lin, manager of Jenkins and
Eddie Mead, manager of Arm
strong, that Henry should be
allowed to wear more bandages
than the commission allows un
der its rules.
Another possibility was that
the commission might be at
tempting to hold part of each
fighter's purse as a forfeit.
Armstrong and Jenkins have
promised the commission in
writing that they will make the
next defense of their welter
weight and lightweight cham
pionships in New York state.
The forfeit would be for the
purpose of enforcing that agreement.

SI Ritrtfdl Pimm 4ft 1
By Harry Ferquson.
(U.P. Sports Editor.)
New York. July 18. U.
They shook the fog out of Lew
Jenkins' brain In the early
hours of today and told him he
was a refugee from a hurri
cane another victim of hurri
cane Henry Armstrong, that
human ttorm who growa more
destructive with ths years.
Armstrong blew his man
down at the Polo grounds last
night in a bout that proved
nothing except that the little
brown man from Los Angeles
only person ever to hold three
world championships at one
time is pound for pound one
of the greatest fighters of all
time.
"What Hit Me?"
Minutes, yes even hours, after
the fight ended In the sixth
round. Jenkins still was ask
ing what hit nun and when.
He said he did not remember
going back to his corner after
the first round, and as they
sponged the blood off his Iran
face, he wanted the details of
his downfall.
Here they are: Armstrong
took everything that was hand
ed out by Jenkins, one of the
hardest hitters of the little men.
and waded In with a two-handed
attack that would have
broken through a stone wall, j
Armstrong fought a crafty,
savage battle and Jenkins, out
on his feet for five rounds,
obeyed the command of his big
heart to keep going for 15
minutes when brain and bone
and muscle cried "milt."
Pilches Off Stool.
It ended with Jenkins rolling
crarily on his stool between the
sixth and seventh rounds and
finally pitching towaid the floor
as his seconds caught him. Ref
eree Arthur Donovan stopped it
then, giving Armstrong a tech
nlcal knockout in the sixth.
He had been on the floor
six times, and each time he got
up and asked for more. Blood
was gushing from his Hp and
his vacant eyes proved he was
in the never-never land. Hut
the roar of the rrowd was as
much for him as it was for
Hurricane Henry, who also car
ried a few marks of battle back
lo hit dressing room.
clnnati appears to be repeating
in the National league, paid ad
missions may drop as much as
100 000 under the million of
1939.

Lew Jenkins, the lightweight champion from Sweetwater,
Tex., is shown bouncing on one of the three times he fell to the
canvas in the sixth round of his non-title bout with Henry
Armstrong, the welterweight champion, who won the bout on a
technical knockout when Jenkins did NOT come out for the
seventh round. The bout was held in New York.

Pacific Coast League
While Steve Crippen was el
bowing a smart seven-hit con
test his Crater teammates were
shelling three Piney Woods
flingert for 18 blows, all of
which was sufficient to give the
local State leaguers a rousing 13
to 2 victory over the Barnstorm
ing colored Collegians in front
of a large crowd at the fair
grounds last night.
The young Negro team could
do almost nothing with Crip
pen s variety of lazy dips and
benders, interspersed with an
occasional quick one. McLean's
error and singles by Wallace and
Knight accounted for a Piney
Woods tally in the second, and
Wallace's 340-foot smash over
the right-center wall in the
fourth was good for another. At
other times Crippen bossed the
situation, with fine support from
the eight other Crater players.
Every Medford laddie collect
ed at least one baschit, and Al
Wray. Patterson and . Crippen
himself got three apiece. Wray
belted a triple and double, and
Manager Tom Hawkins and Rock
Peterson cracked doubles, as all
the boys had a large evening.
The Craters opened their scor
ing in the first when Calvert
walked and scored on Wray's
three-bagger against the right-
center boards. Calvert, incident
ally, drew five bases on balls
during the evening, his one sin
gle giving him a perfect night
at the plate.
Singles by Peterson and Pat
terson and two fielding boots
gave the" locals three more runs
in the third, and they went
ahead 6 to 2 in the fourth by
punching over two more tallies
on Calvert's tingle, Wray's dou
ble to right and Hank Pacheco's
single over second. '
Augustus Forte, Piney Woods'
starting flinger. was blasted
from the box in the fifth as
Hawkins opened with a double
to right and scored on Crippen's
single to left. When McDonald
singled to left scoring Crippen,
that was enough for Forte. Leon
ard Johnson replaced him and
retired the side without further
damage.
Johnson lasted to the seventh,
when the Craters unleashed their
largest Inning, good for five
runs. Crippen opened with an
infield blow and went to second
on McDonald's sacrifice. Calvert
walked and Wray singled, scor
ing Crippen. McLean singled
scoring Calvert, and Peterson
doubled to right chasing Wray
and McLean across the plate and
Johnson out of the box. Jim
Buckley took over the mound
job at this point and allowed one
more run, on Patterson's infield
single scoring Peterson.
Next Sunday the Craters play

HOSTAK AND ZALE
FOR PUNCH
Seattle. July 18. Wl A
couple of middleweights who
punch so hard they have trouble
getting fights, will take it out
on each other under the stars
here tomorrow night in a 15
round cloutfest for the 46-state
N.B.A. middleweight title.
The sluggers are Al Hostak of
Seattle, the titleholder, and
Tony Zale of Gary, Ind the
challenger.
Managers of both fighters
complain their boys have car
peted so many gladiators tnat
the top-notch Fancy Dan boxers
won't have anything to do with
them.
Hostak has had only live
fights since winning the crown
here from Freddie Steele in
1938. Zale has fought about a
dozen times under his present
handlers, Sam Pian and Art
Winch of Chicago. Pian and
Winch agree with Eddie Marino,
Hostak's pilot, that it's hard to
coax anybody into the ring with
a puncher.
