From The
Press Box
Henry Seen as Victor,
But Not by Knockout.
BY JOHN LARDNER,


NEW YORK, Aug. 10-Aloysius
Jolson, the minstrel who has PACED his
nanny in all the 48 States and most
of the Territories, with no results
so far, abandoned the search long
enough this week to bet 81 100 against
$1,000 that Henry Armstrong would
knock out Lou Ambers.
"Ambers will not go the distance" F"
said Mr.. Jolson in the key Of B fiat.
That's the way I'm betting, and there
is more scratch where the first scratch
came from"
This is Mr. Jolson's vulgar way Of
referring to cash money. Having done
so, Mr.. Jolson resumed his plaintive
quest of his nanny, who was last
reported to be infesting the neigh
borhood of Alabama.
Nanny. ma-ham-my." advertised
Mr.. Jolson, this time in the key Of
three sharps. I'D walked million
miles, for one a them smiles"
We will leave the baffled troubador
at this point and concentrate upon
Ambers and Armstrong.

Armstrong -Ambers fight will have its

odds the best little men in the fight

there is nobody else under 145 pounds

Armstrone's WeIter Grown
Not at Stoke Officially.

The Negro and the italian are about
to meet for the lightweight champion
ship of the world, now held by Am
bers. born Luigi D'Ambrosio. It's the
only title, roughly speaking, which
Armstrong does not hold, and the busy,
mauling, vigorous little brownskin
from st. Louis is sure he will add it to
his collection.
Both fighters must weigh in under
the lightweight limit Of l35 pounds.
Armstrong; welterweight champion
ship is not a stake, officially, but. if
Ambers wins. you know VINO the real
welterweight champion will be.
However, the critics do not consider
this to be a very burning issue. They
fail to see how Ambers can win.
The odds are l3 to S. or, in some
cases, as much as 3 to l, in favor Of
little Henry, the human electric fan.
The odds on a Knockout are about as
cited by Al Jolson-ll to 10 or even
money that Ambers will not so the
full distance of IS rounds. If you
want to bet on Ambers to win by a
knockout, you can write your own
ticket. Stranger things have hap
pened, no doubt. but nobody seems to
remember what they were.

Raskob and Du Pont
Tax Debts Decided
b, the Associated Press.


The Board of Tax Appeals de-
cided yesterday that John j. Raskob,
former chairman of the Democratic
National Committee, owes the Gov
vernment s886,833 plus eight years
interest and that Pierre S. du Pont,
industrialist, owes 1886, 1863 plus
interest.
The board ratified an agreement
between accountants for the two
men and the Government. The
agreement concerns the interpreta-
ton of a previous board decision
invalidating deductions the two men
sought to make in their 1929 income
taxes as the result of reciprocal
stock transactions which the board
said were not bona flde sales The
two men, however, have the right
to appeal the whole decision to the
Circuit Court of Appeals.
The Raskob-Du Pont tax case
created wide interest. The two men
were active in the American Liberty
League, which opposed the re-elec-
ton of President Roosevelt in 1886
and they charged that the tax pro-
ceeding was political persecution.
