Loses His
Crown on
Foul Blows

New York, N. Y, Aug. 22.-
Hurricane Henry Armstrong lost
his lightweight crown here tonight
in one of the most thrilling prize
fights seen in the Yankee Stadium
in years.
Armstrong, forcing the fight all
the way, lost the fight when five
rounds were taken away from him
for low blows. His whirlwind style
of throwing punches from all
angles was his undoing.
This style won him three worlds
championships and gained him the
reputation of being the fightingest
man of his size in the ring.
Ringside sport critics say Arm
strong would have won easily if
the rounds had not been taken from
him for his low blows. Eddie
Meade, Henry's manager, was loud
and bitter over the decision claim
ing that all through the fight Am
bers had heeled Armstrong in the
eyes with his open gloves.
The title at stake here tonight
was Armstrong; lightweight
crown. Articles are already signed
for a match for the welterweight
between the two some time this
Fall.
That Armstrong lost his own
fight was attested by such authori-
ties as the Associated Press score
sheet which showed Ambers actual
ly winning only four rounds by his
fighting and five rounds going to
him because "Hammering Hank"
didn't keep up his punches.

WRITER'S HIT DECISION

Tuesday before the fight Joe
Williams, syndicate sports writer,
aid in the MINNEAPOLIS
TIMES-TRIBUNE that the fight
was in the bag for Ambers. He
said Armstrong; title would go to
Lou Ambers whether he won it or
not. After the fight Henry Nc
Lemore, crack United Press sports
editor, criticised Arthur Donovan
for penalizing Armstrong for fouls
when McLemore claims Ambers
was as guilty of fouls as Henry.
McLemore says Ambers con-
stantly hit with his elbows and
butted Armstrong all through the
fight. McLemore said: Armstrong
was guilty of fouls, yes. But so
was Ambers.
GAS for the actual fighting, minus
fouls, there was no comparison be-
tween the two men. Armstrong
beat the daylights out of his pinch
faced opponent. Three times he
had him rubber-legged and ready
to go down and perhaps could have
finished him off if his hands had
been the hands of the Armstrong
of two years ago.
"Ambers was game, fast, and a
sharper hitter than when he lost
his title to Armstrong last year,
but he threw only one punch
against 10 and simply isn't in the
class of the Negro boy as fight

Gehrig Victim of Paralysis;
Probably Lost to Baseball
Lou Has Chronic
AiIment, President
Of Yonks Announces
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, June 21.-Ed Bar
row, president of the New York
Yankees, announced today that Lou
Gehrig is suffering from chronic in
fantile paralysis and probably will
never play baseball again.
Mr.. Barrows statement came after
Gehrig had turned over to him the
formal report made by Mayo Clinic
experts. Gehrig had spent several
days in the clinic in order to have
thorough check made of his ply
steal condition.
The one-time great first baseman
had been worried about his condi-
ton all year. After making a bad
showing in the field and at bat
during the early part of the sea-
son, Gehrig voluntarily benched
himself on May 2, thus ending his
consecutive games streak at 2,130
games
He sat on the bench for several
weeks, but could not regain his
strength. Finally he decided to put
himself in the hands of experts to
determine just why he had lost his
baseball form so suddenly. His trip
to the clinic followed.
Mr.. Barrow said Gehrig appar-
emily had been suffering from the
ailment for two years and that only
his remarkable physique had enabled
him to play.
The veteran will be continued on
the Yankee pay roll for the rest
OF the season at least and will re-
main as non-playing team captain.

A Senate-House conference COM
mittee agreed today on an Agricul-
ture Department appropriation bill
carrying more than Sl200000 900
for the fiscal year starting July i.
Representative Cannon, Democrat,
of Missouri, said House conferees
had accepted the s225 900 900 in
crease voted by the Senate for addi-
tional farm benefit payments, but
would ask separate House votes on
numerous other Senate increases,
totaling about s140,OO0,O0O.
Senator Bankhead, Democrat, of
Alabama. said the conference group
had made reductions of only Sl3,-
l26, 439 from the s1,2l9 100000 total
approved by the Senate.
Senator Bankhead said a COM
promise on the much-disputed ad-
ministration proposal for a Govern
ment subsidy for cotton exports was
the final item in the Senate-H House
Committee agreement. which now
must go back to both chambers for
approval.

Under the bill as approved by the
Senate, about s50.000.000 would be
available to subsidize cotton exports.
This would come from 100000 900
available from customs receipts and
S113 100000 additional voted by the
Senate for farm surplus removal
operations.
Senator Bankhead said the con-
ferees had agreed that one-half of
the total available for cotton from

increase domestic uses of cotton
while the balance could be used las

Conferees said separate House
votes would be required on the
$113,000,000 Senate increase and on
S25 900 900 voted by the Senate in
addition to S25,O0O,000 approved by
the House for the farm tenancy
program.
Other House Votes Needed.
Separate House votes also would
be asked, Senator Bankhead said,
on these items approved by the
Senate:
100000 for cooperative agricul-
tural extension work in States that
have suffered reductions in Federal
grants for this work.
$375,000 for gypsy moth control.
$500,000 for Dutch elm disease
eradication.
100000 for eradication of the
pink bollworm.
100000 for development of Fed
eral wild life and game refugees.
The 1925 100000 for benefit pay
ments accepted by the House con-
ferees would be in addition to

Japanese Awaiting
British Overtures

TIENTSIN, June 81 (P.-The
eight-day old japanese blockade of
the British and French concessions
developed today into a determined
test of patience between British and
Japanese.
An official British report said that
1000 British women and children
were being evacuated from the
Tientsin foreign areas, preliminary
to IAN indefinite period of resist
ance."
Q japanese military and diplomatic
authorities indicated, on the other
hand. that they were awaiting
British overtures to break the pres
ent tense situation" They did not
say, however, just what they ex-
pected beyond previous British over
lures, principally willingness to
discuss the possible surrender of
four Chinese alleged assassins. The
Britons' refusal to relinquish the
four accused to japanese precipi-
tated the blockade June IA.
British Consul General Edgar G.
Jameson repeated his request to
Shigenori Tashiro, Japanese consul
general, for the release of G. A.
Smith, British resident of the be-
leaguered concession, who has been
held by Japanese since Saturday.
Japanese accuse Mr.. Smith of strik-
ing a Chinese member of the
Japanese-controlled police force.
Mr.. Jameson informed Tashiro
that if Mr.. Smith were not re-
leased by tonight the case no longer
could be considered local and would
be referred to London for action"
Japanese reports said that Brigade
Maj. c. B. H. Delamain, British staff
officer of the Tientsin garrison, had
sought an interview with the

Britain and France
Offer New Formula
For Pact With Soviet
London Reported to Have
Decided to Meet
Russian Terms
By WILLIAM II. SLOVENIAN


Chicago Daily News Foreign Correspondent.
LONDON, June Alt is now in
sisted in London that the British
have decided to 60 all the way to
meet Russia's terms and that, con-
sequently, negotiations for an Anglo
Russian-French defensive alliance
and anti-aggression pact should be
concluded speedily.
The principal obstacle to the con-
clusion of an agreement during the
last two or three weeks has been the
Soviet demand that the three powers
should give an outright and auto
matte guarantee to Finland, Estho-
MIA and Latvia. Until a few days
ago the British were opposed to CIV
ing an automatic guarantee to these
states on the ground that the states
themselves did not wish for such a
binding agreement with Russia. In
stead, the British suggested that
they, the Russians and the French
should simply agree to assist these
countries if the latter were invaded
and asked for help.
Now, it is said, instructions have
been sent to William Strang, Brit
aims special envoy to Moscow, en-
towering him to offer a new formula
which, it is insisted here, is bound to
meet Russian demands. These in
structions are said to have been
forwarded yesterday and to have
been agreed to by the British only
after strong pressure from the
French and because of recent de-
velopments in the Far East.

British and French Ambassadors,

While everybody here hopes that
this optimistic view will prove justi-
fled, there have already been so
many false alarms regarding the
Anglo negotiations that
neutral observers are taking nothing
for granted. They all agree that
both Britain and the Soviet Union
have probably gone too far with
the negotiations to withdraw at this
late date. They also can see why
both countries should regard a
speedy agreement as desirable.
Furthermore, both the Russians and
British have set forth clear out
lines of their desires and if one

After his conference with Mr.. Bar

to don his uniform.
Mr.. Barrow said he understood
from the physicians reports that
the disease could be checked and
that in any event it probably would
not get worse.
The Yankee leader obviously was
broken up as he made the an
nouncement. Gehrig long has been

man would not play again this year
