GARCIA H OIL D S
13-LB. LEEWAY IN
co
By LAYTON CARVER

NEW YORK, Nov. % G.N.S).
According to elderly observers.
Henry Armstrong will give away
as much weight as any little man
that ever defended a title when
he climbs into the ring Friday
night with his welterweight
championship on the line against
Ceferino Garcia.
And Little Joe Carrora viewed
with some conjecture today the
tendency among the oddS-layerS
to make Armstrong a one-sided
9-to-5 favorite over the Filipino.
Little Joe took cognizance of this
angle.
The probable weights-Arm-
strong, 1874; Garcia, lat. In
other words, there will be a diff
ference of about Is pounds, pos
Sibly more.
Little Joe, otherwise Johnny
Dundee, erstwhile featherweight
and junior lightweight champion,
knows all there is to know about
weight and what it means one
way or another.
EASILY CUT
They are making quite point
of the fact that Garcia has scar
tissue over his eyes that causes
cuts to open up early with the
possible or probable result tech
nical knockout. In that connec-
ton I can say that I learned to-
day that Armstrong; mouth,
was cut by Lou Ambers last
August, likewise is infested by
ridge of scar tissue and may be
opened up.
In any case. Garcia has reached
what he considers proper weight
for this stage of the proceedings
and he is through with boxing in
his training. Armstrong will dis
continue glove work today.

at the high blue sky.

Lawrence didn't even look up. His thirteen

Eddie looked through the window moment
more, watching his brother. sighed and walked
around to the side of the house, where crow
was sleepily eating the radish seeds that Eddie
had planted three days ago in fit of boredom.
Eddie threw stone at the crow and the crow
silently flew up to the branch of an oak and
waited for Eddie to go away. Eddie threw an
other stone at the crow. The crow moved to

his foot up the way he'd seen Carl Hubbell do
and sizzled one across not more than three feet
from the crow. Without nervousness the crow
walked six inches up the branch. In the style

Eddie Hubbell, Dean Mungo, Feller, Ferrell,

and let 60 his high hard one. The crow slowly
got off his branch and regretfully sailed away.
Eddie went over, kicked away the loose dirt,
and looked at his radish seeds. Nothing was
happening to them. They just lay there, baked
and inactive. No green, no roots, no radishes.

for farming. The package of seeds had cost

Tonight he had a date.
Il got date" he said aloud, savoring the

to think about it. He'd never had date before
in his life He had thirty-hve cents Thirty five

aged to get date. Now he knew 1t happened
all of sudden. You went up to girl where she
was lying on the raft in lake and you looked
at her, chubby in red bathing suit, and she
looked seriously at you out of serious blue eyes
where you stood dripping with lake water with
no hair on your chest and suddenly you said,
Il don't s'pose yuh're not doing anything
tmorra night, are yuh?" You didn't know
quite what you meant, but she did, and she
said, why. no, Eddie. Say about eight
o'clock?" And you nodded and dived back
into the lake and there you were =.
Lawrence came out, fexing his fingers, very
neat in clean khaki shorts and white blouse.
He sat down next to Eddie in the grape arbor.
Il would like strawberry ice cream soda"
he said
Got any money!" Eddie asked hopefully.
Lawrence shook his head.
mo strawberry ice cream soda. Eddie said.
Lawrence nodded seriously. You got any
money!" he asked.
Some" Eddie said carefully. Lawrence
didn't say anything. but Eddie sensed feeling
developing in the grape arbor, like growth.
Il gotta save my money" Eddie said harshly.
II got date got thirty five cents How do
know she won't want banana split tonight"
Lawrence nodded again. indicating that he
understood but sorrow washed up in his face
like high tide. They sat in silence, listening
to the rustic of the grape leaves.
"All the time was practicing." Lawrence
