.FISTIC VALUES
TAKE AMAZING
TREND UPWARD
BY PAT ROBINSON

NEW YORK, Aug. II G.N.S0.
The approaching championship
fight between Tommy FarT, the
Welsh heavyweight, and Joe Louis,
the coffee au lait titleholder, sup
plies q strange slant on the amaz-
ing change that has taken place
In fistic values since the turn of
the century.
Back in 1897 Jim Corbett and
Bob Fitzsimmons, two Of the
greatest fighters who ever drew
on a glove, were glad to battle
before a $4,000 house.
Forty years later Mike Jacobs,
promoter Of the Twentieth Cen.
tury Club, is guaranteeing an un-
tried foreigner THREE times as
much as Corbett and Fitz drew
at the gatel
PLACES 100000
Mike has contracted to place
$50, 900 in a bank in Fairs name
10 days before the fight. He also
Is giving the Welshman the priv.
ilege of taking 20 per cent of the
net receipts. In addition, Farr
will receive Is per cent Of the
motion picture and radio conces.
sionS which will assure him an.
other $4,000, making at least
$4,000 for his end, win, lose or
draw.
In other words, a fighter who
wouldn't have made a good spar
ring partner for either Fitz or
Corbett will take home with him
about FOUR times what Fitz and
Corbett drew.
Only 10 years ago Battling Mel.
son and Joe Cans, two Of the
great lightweights of all time, drew
a $4,000 gate.
Mike Jacobs has guaranteed
Lou Ambers 100000 to defend his
lightweight title in battle with
Pedro Montanez, a Porto Rican,
who is getting a $4,000 guarantee
as a challenger! And they are only
one fight on an all-star card for
which Mike has contracted to pay
approximately 100000.
LIKE TO COMPARE?
And how would you say Nelson
and Cans compared with Ambers
and Montanez?
Nowadays an international fla
vor lends glamour to a fight. But
1t didn't mean much IS years ago
for then Jim Jeffries and Bob
FitzSimmonS, the Cornishman,
drew only a little over $4,000.
The change came Is years ago
when Jack Dempsey and Georges
Carpenter, supported by tremen-
dous ballyhoo, drew $1,789,.3S.
Two years later Dempsey and
Louis Firpo, the Wild Bull Of the
Pampas, DIRE, $1,18S,603 and from
then on every big fight with a
foreigner in one corner has drawn
a large gate.
Corbett and FitZ, and Nelson
and Cans and the other great old.
timers were born Just one genera
ton too soon.

COLORED FIGHT.
STAR IS HEADED
FOR TITLE CLASS
BY FRANK BUCK" o'NE1LL


The squared arena of the sour
science called boxing is fenced by
an array of Negro champions that
recalls a bygone era in FiStiana.
Harry Armstrong, Of Los Angeles,
seems headed for the heights in
a drive that will carry him to the
championship Of the feather
weight or lightweight class.
Joe Louis, heavyweight cham
pion, and John Henry Lewis, light
heavyweight champion, may vel
come Armstrong into the circle
of dusky rulers Of the ring.
This trio is comparable in some
degree, at least, to the triumverate
of the older days when George
Dixon was ranking bantamwefght
and featherweight ruler; when
Joe Wolcott spread terror to the
ranks of welterweights, with oc-
casional forayS into the heavy
weight circles, and Joe Cans ruled
the roost among the lightweights.
BULLDOG OF RING
The Los Angeles boy is a bull
dog Of the ring. He is a terror
inside, and he makes his fights
at close range. He was devastat-
ing in his power against Cabello
at Griffith Stadium last night,
waging q battle that was awe
inspiring. Armstrong has a tech
nique that is simple, but terribly
effective.
He has three speeds forward and
none backward. He is a two
handed puncher, equally effective
to head or body. He showed a
critical audience an ability to
fight with primeval fury that
swept away all skepticiSm.
It may be contended that Ca
bello was not a real opponent for
Armstrong, and this may be en-
tirely true. But Armstrong waded
in and handled the situation be-
fore him in most impressive style.
Before 10 seconds had elapsed,
the Los Angeles boy took all the
power out Of the Puerto Rican
with right-hand smashes to the
heart and solar plexus that shot
inside Of the latter's left hooks.
Armstrong smashed short left
hooks to the head with the pre-
ciSion Of a sharpshooter.
RINGSIDERS ASK
Ringsiders left Griffith
Stadium last night asking if a
man with a good left hook and
a clever style Of defense could
fathom Armstrong; style. Ring
siderS asked the same questions
about Dempsey when the Man
Mauler Of Manassa was at his
peak.
Armstrong is easy to hit with
a left jab. Cabello landed a
few leftS to the face, but all he
accomplished was to rouse the
fighting fury of Armstrong, who
walked In and took the left, but
delivered strength Sappine
smashes that soon did the work
Armstrong boxes with high
shoulder defense. He might bt
vulnerable to a right hand uppel
cut as he walked in. A right
uppercut almost knocked ou
Dempsey in 80 seconds agains
Firpo. But the punch that stop
Armstrong will have to be de
livered with the force of a tril
hammer, and with rare pre-
ciSion. No swinger is going tt
beat him, and the man does no
stand in the lighter classes whit
can beat him inside.

has seen Of comparable abilit!
