MiddfetpeiQht HistOrU

This midjleWeight scrap between
Henry Armstrong. the closest thlns
to perpetual motion the prize fight
ring has ever seen. and Ceferino
Garcia, the man that the bolo punch
made famous, scheduled for Los
Angeles on FEB. %. brings out the
historian in ,he Bench Warmer.
So. for lack of something better
to delve into we've pulled out the
sport history book and traced the
middleweight championship saga.
San Francisco claims the distinc-
ton of having staged the first mid
dleweight champion match on AM
erican soil-April l3. 1867. Tom
Chandler defeated Dooney Harris,
IS rounds. ba:e knuckleS Chandler
weighed l56.
In 1872. George Rookie challenged
Chandler, but Tom was deaf OH
that ca: = ignored the challenge
Rookie claimed the title In 1874.
Mike Donovan defeated Rookie and
claimed the crown. Mike retired
IN 1882 In 1884. George Fulljamas
appeared upon the scene, gave the
division the name OF Middle
weights. claimed the title and chal-
lenged he world to knock the chip
off his shoulder.

the story:

1896-Fitz resigned after five Years
OF inactivity: making l58, then the
middleweight limit. was an irksome
task. Ruby Robert became a heavy

1897-The air became filled with
title claimants: Kid Mccoy. Tommy
Ryan. Phila. Jack O'Brian, Tommy

wherever he fought. Nobody cared
WHO was champion. except the
claimants themselves.

Odds Remain Al
For Quick Louis
K.0. Over Godoy

NEW YORK. Feb. 6. cUP)-Ar-
turo Godoy. the Chilean challenger,
completes training today for his
heavyweight title shot at Cham
pion Joe Louis Friday night. with
the wagering to l that Arturo
doesn't last the full Is rounds.
But Joe (YuSsel the MUSCLE ia
cobs. manager of Herr Max Schmel-
ing and Signor Tony Galento, says,
Them odds is screWy Godoy will
last the distance all right. And I'm
grabbin' off some of that 4 to l
sugar"
Yussel the Muscle speaks with
authority. He piloted Schmeling
and Galento through their three
thrilling battles with Champion
Louis. Schmeling fought the Brown
Bomber twice, knocking him out
the first time and getting kayolt
himself the second time. Galento
almost belted out Bomber Joe last
summer.
Moreover Yussel, who is no rela-
tive of Promoter Mike Jacobs, also
piloted Galento through two prim-
tive braWls with Challenger Go
doy. Galento lost both those 1887
bouts, at New York and Chicago
Hence the authoritative tones in
YuSSelS voice as he discusses Fri
day nights international conflict
at Madison Square Garden.
Jacobs says, "Godoy will last
the distance just like Tommy Farr
did and for the same reason. Louis
amt takin' any chances on Dustin
them million dollar mitts. He'll be
satisfied to try to outpoint Arty
when he finds that Arty is dam
gerouS target
Yussel emphasizes that Godoy is
rugged, awkward mauler who
fights low, with the bob and weave
Because of style Arturo is "all ell
bows and head. It's most difficult
to get a good shot at the Chillean's
chin. And take it from Galento,
that chin is just like granite, even
IL you do connect. Galentos left
hook, which spraWled Louis on the
canvas, never pla.ed Godoy during
their Is rounds of braWling. In IS
professional bouts the South Amer
ican never has been on the floor.
In other Woids," says Jacobs,
"Godoy is lot harder to nail than
the champ, and he takes punches
a lot better. Galento hit him SO
hard at Chicago that Tony busted
his right paw but nothin' hap
pened. This Godoy is rough and
tough. He moves fast, for a big
guy. He's got the endurance to
keep bobbin and weavin' for Is
roun's. And-he's got a great left
hook, himself. He's a hungry fighter
too, guy that needs money. Hun
cry fighters are dangerous, deSper-
ate and determined. They're hard
to discourage. Watch what I'm tell
in yuh Godoy'll give Louis a rough
evening
