Victory

Defeat
BY LACK CUDDY

NE WYORK. April CUP)-Last
nights defeat was, in its way, an
other glorious victory for Henry
Armstrong
The Three Blind Mice" who Of
ficiated at the 10-round non-title
bout between Hurricane Hank and
lightweight champion Beau Jack,
awarded young Jack an unanimous
decision.
But their verdict touched off an
explosion of booing among the sell
out crowd of 1895 cash customers
that shook Madison Square Gar
dens girders, which was followed
by grand ovation for the officially
vanquished Armstrong.
These manifestations in the house
that Rickard built virtually clinched
q title fight for Armstrong with
young Beau Jack this summer. Such
an outdoor meeting doubtless would
draw more than n halfmillion dol
lars.

NEW YORK, April 3. (UP)-
There may have been giants
among the smaller men in the olden
days of pugilism, but brother, we
doubt that any era ever produced
chaps of such heroic proportion as
that immortal duo-Barney Ross
and Henry Armstrong.
They were truly of champion
ship breed. They not only capti-
waited the sports world in their
hey-day, but they electrified the
nation when they came out of re-
tirement to fight again.
Ross fought again at Guadalcan-
al as a corporal of the U. S. Mar
inc Corps and accounted for %
Japs as he protected wounded COM
rades. Meanwhile Armstrong, re-
luctant conqueror of Ross in their
battle for the world WelterWeight
title on a cold May night in 1888
climaXed his comeback campaign
in an electrifying bout with the
youthful lightweight C h m p o n
Beau Jack, at Madison Square Gar
den last night.

LEWISTON, Idaho, April g.
CUP)-Sit a harried baseball skip
per down to a dinner of thick steak,
and potatoes from a state that lists
them as it's number one products.
Tuck a napkin under his chin, and
in his inside coat pocket place a
signed contract from pitcher who
has won at least 20 games for the
past four years. Then the indiges-
ton gremlins can take their bicar-
Donate of soda and scram.
Long after the warm Idaho sun
went down, a glow which was in
sharp contrast to the gloom which
prevailed ever since Manager Bill
Skiff counted up his ration points
from the New York Yankees and
found he had not enough to pur-
chase even one catcher-even If
there had been an unneeded catch
er on the Yankee retail shelves.
TURPIN WEANED
The reason for the light-heart-
edness that held forth at the Rain
ier training table amounted to
something more than the excellent
training climate and ample food
supply which the team has found
in its first composite in northern
state. 1t was, of course, that Farm
er Hal Turpin had been weaned
from his ranch at Yoncalla, Ore
gon, by an undisclosed but un-
doubtedly first-rate offer from
owner Emil Sick.
No wonder Manager Skiff found
it in his heart to smile as the bis
cults were passed. Abetting the
good news was the Seattle clubs
l0to-0 victory over the Geiger Field
service team from Spokane that
same night, and the promising
mound performance of Glenn El-
liott, who struck out nine, gave up
three hits and no runs before the
contest was called midway in the
fifth.
INSPIRATION SEEN
If the acquisition Of one player
could have meant the difference
between a second division Pacific
Coast League entry and a title con-
tending team, the deal for Turpin
was it. With Turp heading the
pitching staff, the youngsters Of the
mound corps will no doubt, find in
spiration to extend themselves this
season.
Imperial Valley press., 1943-04-04
BOTH CHAMPIONS

We couple Ross and Armstrong
not merely because they we're con-
temporary clouters but because both
were of championship breed. Meth
er would acknowledge defeat as
long as he could stand. When Arm
strong licked Ross, Barney took
such a terrific beating that the
referee begged Barney to quit, but
Ross said, IF I have to lose, I'll
do it on my feet"
This same Armstrong-noW an
old man of the ring at 30-dis-
played civilian heroism last night
in Madison Square Gardens ring
when he weathered the terrific at
tack of dynamic young Beau Jack
in the early rounds, and plodded
on through stunning leather to
win the fight in the opinion of the
1896 cash customers, although he
lost the decision in the official vote.
We scored the fight even, giving
four rounds to Armstrong and four
TO Beau Jack, and rating two even.
But, If we had 10 make a decision,
we would have thrown the fight
TO Armstrong, because of his ag-
gressiyeness.

Men IN MINORS

LEWISTOWN, Idaho, April s.
UP)-The hopes of the Seattle
Rainiers to cop the 1943 Uacific
Coast League pennant scared to-
day when Farmer" Hal Turpin,
who pitched a nO-hit, nO-run
game last season, finally allowed
himself to be enticed from his
YOncalla, Oregon, farm at terms
repeatedly making him one of
the highest paid hurlers i'm the
minor leagues.
Turpin has been coyly suggesting
that he might want to stay on his
farm this season while Business
Manager Bill Mulligan kept boost
ing the ante with every mail, unit
the ace moundsman Succumbed tt
the lure.
In their tnst eXhiblulon game
last night, the Rainiers held the
Geiger Field Bombers of Spokane
Washington, to three hits and NJ
runs, while rapping out 10 runs fol
themselves. The game was calleo
after five innings.

former pupil, 22-year-old Beau
Jack
Armstrong of Los Angeles, who
formerly wore the feather, light
weight and Welter crowns simul-
taneously, took a licking in the
early rounds of this climax fight on
his comeback trail. But hammer
ing Henry rallied so magnificiently
in the closing sessions that it SEEM
ed the 18th fight of his comeback
string would result in victory.
However, the unanimous decision
was against the little perpetual mo-
ton man, who was making his first
appearance in New York ince he
was knocked out by Fritzie Zivic in
January, 1941, in this same Garden
ring.
Before the bout, some observers
questioned Armstrong; sight. After
wards those skeptics questioned the
sight of the officials. For example.
Judge Bill Healy voted eight rounds
for Jack and only two for Arm
strong; Judge George LIE Cron de-
ci6ad seven rounds for Jack, two
for Armstrong and one even.
Referee Billy Cavangh gave five to
Jack. three to Armstrong and regis
