Armstrong Allowed
To Retain His
WeIter Crown

WASHINGTON, Sept. II UP.
The National Boxing Associa-
ton ruled today that Henry
Armstrong; loss of the light
weight title to Lou Ambers last
month did not affect Armstrong;
welterweight title.
N. B. A. members voted unan-
imously to allow Armstrong to
retain the 147 pound welter title
though he was under this weight
when he lost the 135 pound light
weight crown to AmberS. One
MIA official had been quoted as
saying that Ambers would be
recognized as champion of both
divisions.
The association took into con-
sideration that both Ambers and
Armstrong had signed contracts
specifying only the lightweight
title would be at stake, that the
New York Boxing Commission
ruled it a one-title fight, and that
Ambers had not attempted to
claim the lat pound title.
Adopting a resolution deplor
ing the forthcoming Ambers
Armstrong fight for the welter
championship, the N. B. A. de
clared the bout was at variance
with all principles of good sports
manship and the interests OF
boxing. The association said il
followed a policy that no cham
pion in a lower division should
be permitted to contest for 6
championship in any other class
until he first had met all logical
contenders of his weight.

been made to do that.
The Rotary convention was one Of the largest
perhaps the largest ever held in Nogales We know
for fact it the best attended since repeal of
prohibition and we can't recall any better attended
prior to repeal.
The Rotarians had great time. One Rotarian told
this paper he had been to numerous Rotary confer
ences and "the one at Nogales the best of all"
Events on the program both for business and So
cal sessions, were excellent, and everything went
along smoothly.
Nogales enjoyed having the Rotarians and the

Congratulations, Mr.. Bowman!
THE NOGALES INTERNATIONAL

THE NOGALES INTERNATIONAL joins with
the public in general in congratulating our good,
loyal friend, Mr.. Writ G. Bowman the opening
tonight and tomorrow of his beautiful new Monte
yuma Auditorium.
He has given the community something it has
need for many years and place that will always
stand as a monument to it's builder
Heartily interested in his home town from the
very first day he landed here poor youth 45
years ago, he has lost sight of doing things
for the betterment of the community.
He got his start in life here, made his money here
and is spending it here and all Nogales we sure
deeply appreciates it.
Notwithstanding his rise to fame in the business
and political world he has lost touch with the
common folks, being just as friendly today toward
each and every man, woman and child as he was
when he was struggling youth
Whenever and wherever you meet Writ Bowman
you may rest assured you meeting real gentle
man--fair and square in his business dealings and
true to his host of friends.
