list today when they sat down to

Value Of Lightweight
Ring Title Assures
Bitter Battle
Henry, Lou End Training
In Al Condition for
15-Round Contest
BY SID FEEDER,
Associated Press Sports Writer.


NEW YORK, Aug. 2l.-The usual
pre-fight rumors of business" drift
ed along Bash Boulevard today on
the eve of Henry Armstrong; light
weight title defense against Lou
Ambers, but even the betting men
weren't the slightest bit interested.
AS you know, this betting fra
ternity takes very good care not to
catch cold in its pocketbook. So,
when the odds-layers came right out
in meeting and continued to lay Z
to 5 that Armstrong would be
"winnah and still champeen" Hhen
the tea party is over in Yankee
Stadium tomorrow night, you just
laughed off the whispers"
These rumors-that one or the
other battler cant lose"-have be-
come as much a part of a big fight as
the hot dog haWkers, but no one
pays them any mind any more.
In the present case, any such talk
appeared as far-fetched as flying
trip to the moon. The two principals,
each of whom wound up training
yesterday in Al condition, have too
much in the pot" to pass the dice
now.
Stake Won't Permit Fraud.
The 135-pound crown is second
only to the heavyweight trinket as a
means of putting steak on the table,
so there wouldn't be reason in the
world for Armstrong to give 1t up
without the toughest kind of strug-
gle. And, as for Ambers getting the
championship as gift-well, Little
Lou is a mean little man in any
ring. And up to now, every time the
Herkimer Hurricane has climbed
between the ropes he has put out
every lick of effort.
Thus. the "sure thing" talk appears
to be only the latest in the long
series of gags accompanying this
match, which has been on the fire
since Hammerin' Hennery dethroned
Little Lou just year ago this month
In a bloody fight as close as the
skin on a grape.
The most recent of these gags saw
Eddie Mead sacrifice his beef stew
for a day to visit Ambers' camp and
demand $4,000 insurance" that.
should Lou whip the Hammer, he
wouldn't claim Armstrong; welter-
weight title along with the light
weight laurels. (P. She didn't get
the 20 Gs, but he did get contract
for a return match between the two
this fall for the 147-pound CROWN.
Fight Great Natural
Then Mead said Armstrong
couldn't make the lightweight limit,
that he would voluntarily abdicate
the 135-pound throne. This was
the biggest laugh since Uncle Amos
caught his whiskers in the lawn
mower. No fighter is going to pass
up the lightweight sugar unless he
hasn't a leg to stand on. Armstrong
made the weight on training camp
scales with room to spare.
So now it's all settled, and the
two will cut out the capers and get
down to serious socking for IS rounds
or less. The fight itself figures to be
the natural of the year. Their
last tussle was a honey. AS re-
suit, Promoter Mike Jacobs still is
hoping for gate somewhere between
100000 and s25oOO0, but this esti-
mate appears a little on the rose
colored side.
