Get Shot at
Armstrong
White Hammers Thomas to
Pulp in Los Angeles Ring
Before 10,000 Last Night
By FRANK FRAWLEY
LOS ANGELES, April 21 UP)
A Baltimore negro, Luther
(Slugger) White, has earned a
shot at Henry Armstrong, and
probably will get it here at
Wrigley Field next month.
White, a human buzz-saw in
side the ropes, hammered John
Thomas, a topnotch negro boxer
of Los Angeles, all around the
ring last night in the Olympic
stadium while 10,000 partisan
spectators applauded 'Thomas
courageous but losing battle.
Thomas, who had won 30
straight fights until the Gary,
Ind., negro, Willie Joyce, shaded
him a few weeks ago, came
mighty close to suffering the
first knockout of his career. The
bell saved him that .ignominty
in the first round.
The prospect of Armstrong,
himself a crowder, tangling
with the windmill White, looks
quite intriguing. Promoter Joe
Lynch says he has Armstrong's
signature for May 22. He plan
ned to use Joyce in the spot,
since Joyce gained a decision
over Armstrong when they met
here recently. But a jaw frac
ture Joyce suffered in that
scrap hasn't healed, so White,
who is faster than Armstrong,
although he doesn t punch so
hard, most likely will get his
chance.

Athfotics Subduod 7 to 5
At Washington Team Leads
American League for Day
By JUDSON BAILEY
Associated Press Sports Writer
Spring is here! All the people
who have been doubting It for
various reasons, especially the
weather, had to be convinced
today because the baseball sea
son is now open.
The Washington Senators sub
dued the Philadelphia Athletics,
7-5, yesterday In the nation's
capital and took over first
placo in the American league
for at least one day.
The formal bow for the Na
tional and American leagues as
a wholo today called for this
program:
National St. Louis at Cin
cinnati, New York at Brooklyn,
Pittsburgh at Chicago and Phila
delphia at Boston.
American Washington at
New York, Boston at Phila
delphia, Detroit at Cleveland
and Chicago at St. Louis.
In winning the inaugural In
Griffith stadium the Senators
confirmed the suspicions of
many observers that play this
season would be more slovenly,
that the ball Is "more dead,"
that crowds in midweek will
be smaller and that Washington
is improved over last year.
The turnout for the inaugural
was the smallest in many years
at Washington, 25,093, and the
game itself was a stumbling af
fair with the Senators making
three errors and the Athletics
calling on four hurlcrs.
