lease from the treatments of his
Physician much speculation arose
whether he is a fit subject to bat
to Gerferino Garcia Friday night
Nov. 25th. Rumors always spread
thick and fast this fight being no
exception. They continually divide
public mind and opinion to the ex-
tent there will be found the arm
les of both fighters showing their
listeners the yea and nae side of
their opponents for argument.
First it was claimed "Uncle
Mike Jacobs, was looking around
the corner when the Cyclonic Cali
fornia Clouter of Fistiana slipped
and wiped part of the rosin off the
floor with his Sunday Gym suit.
They say the foxy old Gar of
Swat held his stop-watch to see if
the performance came off per sche-
dule. Again the followers of Ger
ferino the Great claim Henry need
ed more time to prepare for such
a touch costumer as the battling
Spaniard. Other wiseacres of the
califlower industry say, Lou Ann
ber's copyright on Henry's mend
ed mouth still left his unhealed
trademark. Last but not least,
these close to the portals of the in
ner office claim the Board of
Directors was very dissatisfied
when he heard the reports of the

Those are the rumore my friends
and you can jump on any side of
the fence you wish, yer straddle.
They always cause waring factions
like the split of a Holly-Roller
Church. If you are a Garcia man
and hear the Armstrong mob
spread the fight dope you feel like
shouldering arms. To hear the Gar
ella loyal Leigpnaries it makes
you want to throw a Hitler bomb
of the strongest variety. After
the rumors come these.
If you were to stroll down to
Grupp's Gym on 10th st. and 9th
Ave. you would see the only Tri-
Champion train it would quickly
dispel any doubts about his condi-
ton. The way he tore into his two
sparring partners, n Chalky
Wright, his aggressive sparing
shadow you would never think that
he laid off a day due to back in
%juries. Hea ddown flaying with
both hands, an occasional left
spearing jab ducking and effective

with his right glove breaking the
power by a slight twist of his
body; he not only seem the Arm

has.
