Armstrong said he could not get
over 40 pounds and still stay in his

"Garcia's too big and he punches
too hard for me to meet him with q
great difference in weight" the little
negro explained. He made 146

fight in Is rounds"
It was a welterweight bout in New

Armstrong, who won the 147.pound
title from Barney Ross, became the
only fighter ever to hold three cham

Admits Yanks Good
He admitted that the Yankees
are a good ball club, but also
pointed out that Boston, Cleveland
and others are pretty good, too,
and, given the breaks, could walk
up and snatch away the top prize
held by the New York club.
And on top Of that, MI. Mack
thinks his lowly Athletics will
cause somebody trouble next sum

youngsters to that end. Although
he recently celebrated his 77th
birthday, the young Mr.. Mack said
he had no idea at present Of re-
linquishing the active management
of his beloved Athletics.
He may be too old to bring his

The Y. M. c. A. Triangles opened

victory ove the Company I cagers
on the Y court last night.
The w. L. T. Basketeers toppled

Hampered by lack of reserves, the
Guardsmen held the Y cagers to a
close battle until the fourth period
when Marshburn fouled out and
there was no one to replace him.
Then the "Y" boys proceeded to
increase the slight lead that they
had held throughout the contest and
put the game on ice. The game was
fast and rather rough most of the
way, a total Of "a fouls being called,
