Boys who stand up and fight are
tailor made for Hammerin' Henry
Armstrong. Exhibit A is Saverio
Turiello, who tried to trade blow for
blow last night at Uline Arena with
one of the fastest men ever to step
through the ropes Il like 'em that
way" the former triple champion
stated simply few minutes after it
all ended with TKO in the fifth
round
That's my kind of fighting. I'll
beat them all. What I have trouble
with is those boys who run away all
the time. Gosh, I have to chase
them all night to hit them once.
That Beau Jackie runs
Armstrong predicts, though, that
Jack won't run the next time they're
in ring together. He has two more
fights acknowledgements Tommy
Jessup and Willie Joyce-before that
tentative date in June with Beau
Jack. only time Jack fights back
IS when I sting him. He wants to
make up for being hit. Well-I'm
going to hit him some more this
time"
Turiello Proves Gamester.
Turiello tried to stand up against
Armstrong last night and found it
Just couldn't be done. Armstrong;
simple technique of hitting con-
stantly with those very short, chop
ping lefts and rights was too much
for the veteran Italian American to
stand. Turiello had the heart but
not the ability nor stamina to cope
with the every busy Hammer.
Seven thousand one hundred fans
paid S19,05642 last night to see
Hennery win the 17th of 20 fights
since he returned to the ring Ref
cree Eddie La Fond stopped the
scrap midway of the fifth round.
The first was Turiello's by fair
margin as he hit oftener and harder
than Armstrong. 1T took me
little time to get my timing right"
Armstrong explained. He hit me
hard a couple of times but it didn't
worry me. I knew I had him all
the time"
Turiello still had slight margin
at the end of two rounds, but Arm
strong began to pick up speed and
was hitting Saverio lot, especially
With a short left to the body. In
the third round the tide really
turned as Hennery continued to bore
in. slowing Turiello with those
Furnishing short punches. Turiello
Naxed wilder and tried desperate
swings in a kayo attempt, but moth

slowed down to crawl and his legs
and arms wouldn't respond to his
heart.

and the bell saved him from further

stayed on his feet. Then Armstrong
wore him to the canvas for 3

staggered up and begged Referee La
FOND to let him continue, which La
Fond did despite Armstrong; ap-
peal to stop it. Again Turiello col
1apsed from fatigue as much as from
the machine-gun hammering Arm
strong gave him. and this time La
Fond wouldn't let him fight again.
Time was "A of the fifth.
Armstrong admitted after the
fight that he might not be as fast
as he used to be, but it was his
weight, he explained. L was 142 to-
night. I'm stronger but slower at that
weight. At 1873 I'm fast, but not so
strong. Depends on which 1 want
how much I weigh"
For working last night Armstrong
takes down 40 per cent of the $4,000
net gate-roughly. $4,000.
