THE STORY OF THE WEEK
IN EASY WIN

The great little champ has done it
again. This time it took just five one
sided rounds to turn the trick. Once
the fight had gotten under way there
wasn't much question as to who would
be the winner-it was just question
of how long? Armstrong is really a
workman to see in the ring.
But we're sort of upset in way for
we thought the bout would last eight
or nine rounds-and give US a little
more to write about. It was to be one
of those stories telling of the champ
making what is likely to be his last
local appearance-an after a gallant
bid for his diadem by Zanelli-he tri-
umphed the hard way but never once
allowing anybody to get the idea that
he is anything but a real honest-to-
goodness champion. That might have
made great story-at least it would
be different than the run-of-the-mill
stories about Armstrong; fights. No
matter-there was a great deal to
cheer about for the challenger made
one or two brilliant bids for honors-
but each time was repealed in just as
brilliant defences.

Bettina Set For
Mccoy Bout, June Z

The Goodwin A.C has come up with
another show which is bound to get
the ok. of fistic fans in this section by
matching Melio Bettina with the local
light heavyweight idol-Al Mccoy.
The fight is to be staged at the Boston
Gardens on June 7.
Bettina is the former light heavy
weight champion of the world having
lost his crown to Billy Conn in close
ly contested bout. He is regarded as
one of the stiffest punchers among the
big fellows. When he lost his crown
it was due to the superior boxing skill
of Conn-for of the two, Bettina is
much the stronger and more powerful.
He hopes that this bout will be start
for his campaign for title bout with
the heavyweight king-Louis.
Mccoy Has Good Chance of Winning
So far this season the local prides
and joys haven't been too successful
in their bouts with outsiders but sooner
or later one of them will turn the trick.
This may be the although we
are not too confident. However Mccoy
has more than an outside chance to
win. Bettina is puncher through and
throughput a good one-and any
body who is to beat him must either
out-punch him or outlook him for a
decision. Mccoy has a good chance to
walk off with the decision of the judges
by a display of good boxing skill on
June 7. If, however, he decides to go
after Bettina for knockout he will
find himself on the can
vass for the count
The fight should prove an interest
ing one either way for both have their
eyes on the class above-and chance
at real big money. This incentive alone
should warrant a good show-and

those good Goodwin A.C. promotions.

sion will prevail.

ARMSTRONG'S POWER A THING
TO BEHOLD

From the very first round there was
one thing which impressed the many
fans gathered for the occasion-that
was the little champs power. Several
times the challenger came charging in
swinging both fists but despite his
weight advantage he wasn't able to
cope with the speed and power behind
those many rights and lefts thrown by
Armstrong. In the first round Zanelli
was really making a fight of it. He
caught the welterweight king with a
good number of telling blows-and
looked good DUNG it. But that's where
you'll have to stop using both of the
contestants names for starting with
round two it was Armstrong all the
way. The champ kept the challenger
covering up and didn't give him a
chance to do anything else but protect
himself. Yes-Armstrong has power

NJ. ESQ Dealer Was
Once Famous Boxer

Joe jeanette, one of the most IA
nous of the old-time heavyweights,
who occupies a sizeable niche in the
history of boxing, is still actively in
terested in fighting but it's a spare
time hobby today with the famous Col
ored heavyweight.
Jeanette is successful business
man of Union City, n. j., where for
the past twenty-three years he has run
a combination livery stable and Colo
NAL ESQ dealer station. Today, Joe
Jeanette has a sizeable following of
customers, many of whom know him
only as a successful business man and
not as one of the topnotchers in the
ring, during the long period from
1904-1919.
In those years, Jeanette met nearly
all of the best that came along, and
the best included such ring greats as
Georges Carpenter and Sam Lang
ford. His only regret, looking back on
his years of boxing from the comfort
able viewpoint of a successful business
man, is that he came along too soon.
Reading of million dollar gates is no
comfort to this great fighter, whose
highest purse was $4,000.
Despite the fact that his day as a
Colonial ESQ dealer is full and busy
one, Jeanette nevertheless manages to
snatch more than a few moments to
spend his time on the sport he loves.
Above his service station and garage
Jeanette has gymnasium. To that
gymnasium most of Union City's
young hopefuls come to learn some of
the science and craft of the ring that
made Jeanette a topnotcher.

HIS SIZE is DECEIVING

AS you look at him your first reac-
ton is due to his slightness of stature.
You probably can't for the like of you
understand how such small fellow
can possibly be such a whirlwind in
action. AS he starts-your reaction
is almost confirmed for usually his
opponent tries to get the jump on him
by a slam bang two-fsted attack. But
scarcely before you settle back into
your seat feeling sure that you are
about to see a real battle-somethin
happens and then the little fellow is
wailing the bigger one for all he is
worth. The round ends and all you can
hear from those around you is-my,
my, where does he get all that power
from!
The fight goes on and you are still
wondering just what you are privilege
to see. His size is very deceiving.
