shifting toward jenkins, a famed
slugger from down Texas way
The wise boys, who have been
watching fight buildups since tn
heydey of RiCkard and longer. warn
that II is ali an Armstrong and
Mead trick to shave down the odds.
but mon who have seen both boys
fight are frankly worried over Ham

jenkins is the most vicious slug

preparation for wednesday nights
battle with Lightweight Champion
Lew Jenkins.
Probably never before in pugiliS-
tic history have a camp and a
fighter been watched as closely as
ring-time approached. The mon
who write of maui and the men who
bet on blows are trying to decide
whether the great Armstrong is
virtually washed up" or merely
participating in one of fistiana s
most flagrant plots to lower the
betting odds.
Manager Eddie Mead claiming
that he is not entirely satisfied
with Armstrong's performances, or
dered him to violate training pro-
cedure by tossing gloves for two
rounds today, just two days before
one of the most important fights
of his career. "Hurricanc Hank

latest idea to blossom in the men

derbllt. young man o. Manhattan
who is a dead cinch to retain his
title of "America's s foremost young

tions that call for three -year-oldS
and upwards. weight on basis Of
handica 0S. all to start from a
gate. and all TO run in the same
direction. and all to be ridden by
jockeys.
But there is the catch about the
New York Handicap-and when I
say catch ! mean catch. It is to
be run over a piece of ground that
measures two and a quarter miles,
To give you q true picture OF just
exactly how long two and a quar-
ter miles is. let me say that 1t Is
roughly as far as Clark Gable S
salary is from mine, as far as Clark
Gables face is from mine. and as
Ear as Clark Gables cars arc from
his head.
I am not quite sure that there
are enough horses in this country
who can run two and a quarter
miles to make up field for the
New York Handicap. Horse, that
is. capable of doing tho distance ID
