COSTANTIN0
SIGNS FOR BOUTS
Rx SID FEEDER

NEW YORK, Jan. 29.-lRISam-
my Angott prepared to ride his
charley horse back home to Wash
ington, Pa, for rest today and
Bouncing Beau Jack began to look
ahead to his March 81 title tussle
with Bob Montgomery, thereby
leaving the lightweight field tenn
porarily wide open. And Charley
nulu) Costantino, the New York
boxing specialist, took full advan-
tage of the opening.
Sponsored by the Clan Johnston,
which is headed by the big noise
under the derby hat-James J.
Johnston-Lulu stepped right into
the breach by signing for two
matches that figure to keep the
13-pounders at the head of the
beak-busting parade until the two
head men get back.
First he'll take on Jersey Tippy
Lackin February 9 here in New
York, and then. putting on his
coid-weather woolies. he'll head for
Boston to collide with Henry Arm
strong, the comeback kid, in the
Boston Garden March 3. Both OF
these are ten-rounders.
The 60 with Larkin landed in
Lulu's lap when his February 9
start with swarthy Sammy was
scratched because of the left leg
injury Sammy aggravated in his
ten-round draw with the Jumping
Jack last night. And since Cos.
tantino is a clout commodity who
has been pretty warm for January
since losing a narrow split deci-
sion to the Jumping Jack a few
weeks ago, Promoter Mike Jacobs
didn't want to miss the opportuni-
ty to put him on display for the
paying customers.
The Boston match, announced
here by Promoter Eddie Mack
with the prediction It'll do $40,-
000," was set after both battlers
agreed to come in under 10
pounds. In three previous Boston
starts, Henry the Hammer flat
tened three rivals.
Mack. moving around in hurry.
also said he may have somethin 2
to say about the Costantino-Larkin
party, since he holds a contract
for Larkin to meet Izzy Jannazzo
in fight originally slated for JAN
uary 81 and later set back to Feb
ruary 10 because of an injury tn
Larkin. Mack explained he has
asked the Massachusetts athletic
commission to appeal to- the New
York and Pennsylvania commits
sions and the National Boxing AS
ISOLATION to suspend Larkin until
he goes through with that contract
Charley Jones, Angott's mana
ger, announced that his battler' S
left leg was still swollen consid-
erably from the injury which was
revealed after last nights outing
in which Angott, the MIA cham
DION, and Jack, recognized in New
York, New Jersey and Pennsyl-
vania, went through their non title
rounder without proving who was
boss.

On Children's Home

The Arizona Children's home is
the result of the untiring efforts OF
a grour- of Tucson women. The
home was established in 1912 and
has met the needs of the state
throughout the past years. This
year the demands on the home are
even greater. Christmas letters
have been sent to the people OF
Arizona asking for aid. This money
will be used for the expansion or
the Arizona Children's Home, To-
Gated in Tucson, whose facilities
are no longer adequate for II
ever increasing need. The name
implies only the statewide func~
tion it serves, of ministering to the
welfare of homeless children from
every part of the state. Except
when the state, in its role OF legal
warden of some kinless orphan,
contributes monthly sum for such
a child, the home receives no sup
port from the state. 1t is an insti-
tuition of, for and by the. people
and as such its function is monde

This function is precisely that

the home. Life there is as normal
as sympathetic understanding of
