Armstrong Planning
Pittsburgh Battle
After Fight Here
Variety Club Declares
Henry's Griff Stadium
Go Is Title Affair
BY the Associated Press.


PITTSBURGH, Sept. 4.-whether
Welterweight Champion Henry Arm
strong will defend his title here
September 80 in a 15-round bout
with Fritzie Civic of Pittsburgh de-
ponds on the outcome of a con-
ference in New York today.
Armstrong; manager, Eddie Mead
said he would confer with the New
York Boxing Commission and Pro-
moter Mike Jacobs in an effort to
be released from contract re-
curing Armstrong to make his next
title defense in New York.
Promoter Art Rooney, who planned
the Pittsburgh fight as a part
charity affair, said he was notified
Yesterday that Mead would lose a
$500 forfeit if he did not comply
with the New York contract.
Mead said he was hopeful, how
ever, that Jacobs might yield, as
there wasn't "an opponent available"
for Armstrong to meet in New York.
Armstrong, according 10 variety
Club officials here, will make the
next defense Of his title in Grifith
Stadium on September %. 1t Is not
believed likely in that event that
Hammering Henry will undergo an
other championship bout a week
later.
Izzy JannazZo of New York and
Holman Williams Of Chicago, ranked
fourth and third, respectively, by
the National Boxing Association,
clash here tonight. If Jannazzo
comes through with a clear cut vic
tory, he will be offered the fight
with Armstrong on September %.
Armstrong is not expected to agree
to a match in Washington with
Williams.

Pocker-All Stor Come Proves
WINNING Offense Is in Air.

The Packer-All-Star game in
Chicago proves again, as the war
has proved, that any winning Of
Tense belongs to the air. An Isbell
and a Hutson-a Herber and a Hut
soma Park er-an OFBrien-a
Baugh-an Eakin-many more
mean offense.
The same applies to college foot
ball. Power and speed are bigger
factor in college football than they
happen to be in the pro game. Nat
urally the seasoned pros are more
advanced in passing-and pass re-
ceiving. But the pick of the pros
come from the colleges, where for
ward passing gets its start.
30 McMillin of Indiana has said
that kids don't throw a football
around as much as they do base
ball. This is true. But the kids of
today are throwing footballs 20 to
over 10 years ago. A baseball is
easy enough to throw. A football
isn't. But high school and prep
school coaches are turning in a fine
job In this respect-and each year
you'll see better passing.
The game also can use more high
class receivers. A Don Hutson is
even more valuable than a great
passer. There are fewer Illusions
than there are peggers through the
air.
Hutson of Green Bay comes close
to being the most dangerous Of
fensive factor in football. At least,
I know that he brings more chills
to the spines of rival coaches when
he swings down the field.

Bring Everything into Open

alton in a few days. He straight
ened out the even more tangled

THE answer is simple enough
he told me, on his arrival in New

open. Nothing behind closed doors,
Sport belongs to the people who
support sport. Let them know
everything that is happening. Keep
the record where every one can see
1t.
There always are certain laws
See that they are enforced, without
any social monetary or political
influence. When this is done there

move that is made, and why it is
made"

SPoRTLIGHT
Never-Soy-Die Spirit
Brings Back Yunks
BY GRANTLAND RICE,
Special Correspondent of The Star.


NEW YORK, Sept. 4 (N.A.NA).-
A few weeks ago, when the Yankees
were nine games back, apparently
out of the running-maybe damned
into the second division-I hap
pened to be in their clubhouse be-
fore a game.
They still hadn't quite. They
still refused to believe that after
hopping up for four years-after
smashing the National League
they had dropped that far back. I'll
admit they were a trifie dazed. but
far from through. They were stag
gering, but still on their feet.
IF we had played the same brand
Of ball we've been playing for four
years." Bill Dickey told me, wed
be at least Is games in front. Now
we're nine games behind. That
doesn't make any sense. I know we
haven't slipped that margin-27
games-in just year. I've still got
the feeling-and SO have most Of
the others-that we'll be out there
chasing some pennant leader yet.
Maybe we won't catch him, but he'll
feel our breath on his neck"
Now the Yankees are on the big
chase again. They may not win, but
they have at least refused to call 1t
a season and throw aside the old
toga. They have at last thrown oil
their winding sheets.
Their last home stand, especially
against Detroit, Cleveland and Chi
cago, was something to talk about.
Taking 9 out of 10, with 10 lone
defeat against them, from these
main challengers was one of the big
flares of the season. Almost as big
a flare as Detroit's all-season play
against big odds-the Big Tent
feature.
The Yankee adventure from now
on will be one of the main Septem-
Der features, with the Reds solidly
packed in front of the National
League.
Bill Dickey was right. Whatever
happened up to the middle of Au-
gust "just doesn't make sense"

then Gun asked abruptly:
whats it all about, anyway :!
But X was famous for not let
ting any of his people know too
much about anything-it was one
of their stock complaints. And now
he stalled. =.
"I hardly know enough myself
to tell you anything" he said
But I have NY suspicious. This
man of yours isn't the only one on
the game, whatever it is. But |
don't mind telling you this much
it is this job that Carleton is on at
the moment. He's down at a little
place on the Essex coast-a place
called Chenham-having a look
around. And, incidentally, not hav-
ing heard from him for couple OF
days, Pm feeling a little anxious
1t is just possible might want
you to run down there yourself, as
you seem to have got in on the job,
so just hold yourself in readiness,
will you?"
Right you are" answered Gun,
obediently. "You know where to
find me if you want me in a
hurry"
He took a gesture of dismissal
from x, and went out.
AS he walked along Whitehall,
Gun reflected that the name OF
Chenham stirred some memory,
but he could not for the life OF
him think what.
Then he remembered-a man he
knew at the club, a fellow named
Watson, something important in
the city," had mentioned that he
had little place down there where
he got some excellent duck shoot
ing.
And memory of that recalled the
fact that, some time before, he had
agreed to go around to Watson's
house in Grosvenor place one night
for quiet game of smoker.
For no particular reason, except
that he had visions of dull eve
ming before him, Gun rang up
Watson and suggested that he
would be free that evening, and the
suggestion resulted in a cordial in
vitation to dinner, which Gun re-
fused, and afterward had cause to
wish he hadn't. He had an idea
that he might hear something
from Prescott, and wanted to re-
main at home as long as possible
He said, however, that he would
drop in for game Of smoker at
about ten, and so it was left.
There came neither sign ror

sound from Prescott, however, and
at about nine forty-five Gun left
the fiat, chartered taxi and drove
to Grosvenor place.
The taxi set him down outside
Watson's house, and Gun handed
the driver a ten-shilling note.
Sorry, sir-no change, Pm
afraid"
Trouble with you fellows" COM
mented Gun, lis that you're like
the eternal mountains - always
changeless"
He was searching his pockets for
odd coins, when with almost start
ling suddenness a voice behind him
said:
"Oh--can I have your taxi-if
you've done with it?"
It was a very pleasant voice, and
Gun turned to find face quite as
pleasing smiling into his own. He
had a vision of flame-colored hair,
blue eyes and small, very white
teeth. She was in evening dress,
and the perfume she used was
faint but subtly intriguing.
IT bequeath him to you freely,
lock, stock and barrel" he said.
"Or, rather, wheel, body and bon
net" He handed the IAN a form
and a siXpence.
He held the door open for her.
May tell him where to go?"
AS she stepped in he noted the
neat ankles and feet with approval.
1.-THE Five Arts club, Blooms
bury square, please"
Gun passed on the direction,
wondering a little. He knew the
Five Arts club-a residential club
for girls and women associated
with artistic work, and without
much money.
Then it suddenly occurred to him
that she must have come out of his
friends house. There had been no
one in sight when he got out of
the taxi, and he would almost GER
tainly have noticed her if she had
come out of any Of the houses to
left or right of him, whereas ne
had had his back turned to Wat
sons front door. Perhaps she had
been dining with him? That was
the first time Gun regretted he had
not accepted that dinner invita-
ton. Her voice, he remembered,
had been cool and clear as crystal,
with that slight stressing Of the
RS" She was probably an actress
that would account for the Five
; Arts club.
