Garden Bout to
Be Cynosllre Of
All Fistic Eyes

Henry Armstring and Fritzie
Zivic are back with US again!
When those two beak-busters
tore into each other q few
months ago they threw more
leather around Madison Square
Garden than had been seen in
that famous New York arena
in years. And when they face
each other again tomorrow
night another battle, just as fast
and just as bruising as their
previous party, will be forecast
because the worlds weller
weight crown will again be on
the line.
But before peering into tomor-
row nights joust, let's take a trip
down memory lane and see what
happened their last time out. Most
everybody remembers what did
happen. but in case there are a
few who don't. we'll jog their
memory by telling them Zivic.
after taking everything Armstrong
had in the first five rounds. came
back and beat the great Negro
fighter into a veritable pulp.
Sent 20 Hospital
So badly. in fact was Armstrong
erased that he was forced to I'M
dergo disqualification for treat
ment of his eyes which, he.
Armstrong; claimed were in
poor shape" even before the
start of their fight. Now the ex.
champion. vowing that he is fully
recovered. will try to regain the
crown that once was his and
strangely enough. most Of the
boxing experts rate him the favor
ito. Notwithstanding the fact that
he took a terrific beating.
Civic had a different view OF
the situation His story was that
he proved entirely too strong for
Armstrong. He 'poo-hooed" the
bad eyes" story with the remark
that. I'll beat him again in a re-
turn match. bad eyes. good eyes
or anything else"
SO there YOU have It. But our
guess is that Fritzie Civic will
again defeat Henry Armstrong
and If we're wrong. we'll. we've
been wrong before and one more
time won't make much difference.
Anyway. YOU coyotes who tune
in tomorrow night will have
something to look forward to be-
cause this scrap has plenty Of
potentialitics. It's loaded with
dynamite and unless We miss our
guess is certain to be action-p pack
ed all the way.

because Zivic never was a door
mat for any fighter. Armstrong
included. and it would not be too
surprising TO find those "get-rich-
quick" lads depart from the
scene OF action with nary pen
ny in their jeans.
Operation Did II
Remember the last fight be-
tween Armstrong and Zivic? The
ballyhoo artists. the impressarios
and the boys along the boule-
wards were shouting TO the blue
heavens that the negro speedster
would take Civic like Hitler took
France - in a hurry. What
happened? To be sure. 1t did
turn out TO be q slaughter -
but not for Zivic. For five rounds

everything Armstrong had and

say the soothsayers. is that the

eyes and put him back in first
class shape. They claim he's
better At for this particular battle
than any he has ever had. May
be he is and maybe he isn't but
suppose he is? Since when was
civic so underestimated. He's
been fighting a long time and
he's always given a good account
Of himself and he'll probably
continue TO give a good account
Of himself for a long time - come
what may tomorrow night.
No. those al odds Just don't
