Five thousand or 20 Washington
fight fanatics are pondering Q
question today which has them
down but not out, after watching
Henry Armstrong kayo Johnny
Cabello in one round at Griff

If that duSky Stick Of dynamite

ron, of Alexandria, and points
southwest, stand in the feather
weight picture? Petey, you know,
is the accredited and acclaimed
holder of the 126.pound crown.
Cabello, game and ring.wise, Is
still wondering what train hit him.
Armstrong, chugging and Snorting
like q mountain locomotive, came
aroun' the mountain a putting and
soon it was Cabello's head that
was achumming.
Stalking the Puerto Rican flat.
footedly and driving home eight,
nine and 10-inch rights and let's
to various vital points, Henry
had Cabello on the floor for nine
after two minutes Of the first
round.
CHARGES INTO HENRY
Cabello charged into Armstrong,
Tipping left hands which hit
leather, and right crosses which
skidded along kinky head, while
the Californian's iron dukes kept
exploding on his chin, jaw and
temples until a final blasting right,
which travelled all of II inches,
caught him flush on the button
and he collapsed flat on his face
in his own corner.
The gong rang at three, but the
Sandman had called Johnny'S
name, and smelling salts couldn't
bring him back in time for the
second round.
MISSES ONE PUNCH
When it comes to economy of
motion and sheer pig-headed con-
centration on the job at hand,
you'll have to give the palm to
Henry Armstrong. He missed one
righthand punch and Cabello
ducked under that. It was just
before the first knockdown. The
other IS landed, and how.
The 5,0O0-odd fans present last
night will want to see how Petey
Sarron's jumping-jack tactics
would work against the Los An

until after he had dropped Miller
flat on his face for nine early in
the second round.
Wild Bill was no match for the
sharp-shooting left jab and pre-
cision Of Miller, and went down
for eight in the first, rising groggy
but swinging that right.

That wild right, coming up out
Of nowhere, dropped Spike, who
took advantage of the rest and

His DUN Secret

I should like to tell you some
thing about his benefactionS, but
as he always wished this phase
of his life to be anonymous, I
shall bear with him now-as al
ways.
At the time the Boxing Com
mission Of the District Of Column
bia was created by Congress, speci-
flying that a member Of the Police
Department should be one Of three
members, there was considerable
expression to the effect that In
spector Head1ey would have made
an ideal member.
He would have brought an init
mate knowledge Of the fight game
into the post, and such a designa-
ton would have been appropriate
in view of his great service to the
Department, and thus, to the peo-
pie of Washington.
But that was not to be. So far as
as I know, he never sought it. Many
men approaching his years avoid
added responsibilities, rather than
embrace them. But I always was
sure Albert Headley would have
made virile fight commissioner

S5ntS, icing him up in long, maui
ing clincheS, and pinning him
with body pressure to the ropes,
the champion gets no chance for
a good shot.
Master Marty is familiar with
sROhe ring tricks, such as spread

ing his head under the chin and
whaling away at the body.
In the half dozen workouts
Marty has had with Louis, he was
instructed to stay in close so that
Joe would have to employ short
body punches to knock him away.
Louis doesn't fare well under
this style of attack, his arms be-
coming heavy from constantly
having to repulSe the huge frame
of the washington favorite. This
constant pulling and hauling and
wrestling is a wearying process
for the man on the lighter side

SPORTS EDITOR
Says:---

Other than being a de-
vout fight fan, I can think
of no other sports associ-
alton with the name Of In
spector Albert ]. Headley,
whose death takes away
the personification Of cou-
teous and picturesque po-
Icing.
That is, unless his fondness
for the circus might come
within the border Of sports,
but that is neither here nor
there.
What I wanted mostly to regis
ter about Inspector Headley Is
that he was q marked man,
whether at the ringside or at
the scene Of some serious police
business.
Manners Exquisite
He was marked because he was
chevalier Of the local force for
40 years, which is enough in it
self. If I may speak for q mo-
ment somewhat outside Of my
role, he proved to his superiors
as well as to his subordinates In
the department, that 1t isn't
necessary to be tough-boiled to be
a policeman or a police executive.
And in his day he covered some
of the seamy beats around Wash
ington where he found as much
response to persuasive firmness as
he did in quarters where there
was a greater respect for law and
order.
Around the ball park and
around the arena, yes. and around
the canvas top, you and I are
going to miss this fine, genial per
sonality who exuded conSidera'
ton for everyone. He was . "mov'
ing picture" cop, was the 1nSpec'
tor, and it wasn't all on the ex-
terror.

MAKES MORE TAX DODGERS
(Tampa Tribunel

Tampa Tribune)
1t is claimed that the Murphy act will prove
beneficial to the state in that it will put much
property back on the tax books, on which the
state will collect future taxes. But will it?
Having profited materially by the provi-
sions of the Murphy act by escaping payment of
his past-due taxes. will not the owner of property
thus restored to the books continue to be deIin-
quent, knowing that, under this act he again
ESCAPE payment of his Just due? What ASSURANCE
is there that the tax delinquent will not become
the tax dodger and refuse to pay until the time
arrives when he can settle the whole amount at
his own price?
We will have the tax dodger with always,
and the Murphy act viii largely increase the tribe.
1t makes non-payment of taxes profitable. The
smart thing to do under its benevolent sway. al
though not the entirely honest or patriotic thing
to do. is to stop paying taxes. That's the only
way the property owner who has been paying his
taxes in fun can hope to get square deal
compared with the property owner who doesn't
pay.
AS the Miami Herald inquiries: what

FRIENDLY ADVERTISING

Illustrating the present trend of good
will advertising, a plan adopted by rail-
road in the South is interesting.
Recognizing the important function
of the local station agent, through whom
most patrons of the road have their only
contact with the management and its
policies, the new advertising seeks to
bring the agent in closer touch with his
community.
This is done in quarter-page space
in the local paper, with a picture of the
agent and little sketch of his services
with the road, accompanied with reading
matter explaining how he may be of great
er service in advising the public concern
ing their travelling and shipping problems.
This is in line with the policy of many
retail stores, which include pictures of
their leading salespeople in their adver-
Using from time to time. There is some
thing about this kind of advertising which
o1tP~i' %0eOioioh, III noeiIlIiS III Tie MOIIu
is more interesting than people, particular
ly local people.zssssasazsssssus sasassmssauzps1
Intimate, friendly advertising is to a
great extent taking the place oflthe BON
bastic, exaggerated style SO prevalent
few years ago. The new method is more
pleasing and interesting more
profitable to the advertiser.

Florida will undoubtedly get

next winter, according to w. R.
Kenan, president of the Flagler
System, H. N. Rodenbaugh, vice
president of the f. E. c., and
other Florida East Coast officials
who are in Key West today on
their semi-annual inspection trip.
1t is possible that the bumper of
tourists next winter will not be
quite up to the record of 1926.
these officials say, but the out
look is excellent for every record
of other years to be broken. So
confident are the officials that
they are preparing to put on a
season schedule equal to that of
other years, in fact one of the
