| approximately $40 District home
owners whose mortgages were re-
financed by the Home Owners
Loan Corp. during the depression
have repaid the money in full ahead
Of schedule. while the great majority
Of borrowers still on Hole books
are making good progress toward
liquidation, the Hole reported to-
day.
A total Of 2,087 distressed home
owners in the District received Is
year loans at low interest rates from
1888 to 1886, when the Hole went
to the rescue of more than q million
persons threatened with the loss of
their homes. OF this number, 1t
was necessary to foreclose on 239
local properties, all Of which have
been sold.
During the last half of l943, bal
ances due from borrowers In the city
were reduced from $5,l1s, sos to 81
588,818. With later advances to
borrowers and other necessary dis
bursements. Holes total loans in
the District amounted to $12, 1872 ,958
at the close Of last year. On the

on Holes books In the city, in

of purchasers of HOLC' houses with

The fact that nearly 80 per cent
OF the borrowers in the District have
come back and averted foreclosures
is testimony to the good faith of the
American home owner, John H.
Fahey, commissioner of the Federal
Home Loan Bank Administration,
said. 1t is particularly noteworthy,
he said, when it is recalled that the
average borrower was delinquent
two years in principal and interest
on his old loan, and in arrears two
to three years on taxes when his
mortgage was refinanced.

Ancient Henry Armstrong blasted
out perhaps the most amazing
comeback victory in the history OF
Madison Square Garden Thursday
night when his surprisingly eXplo-
sive punches dynamited young Al
BUNNY" Davis to TIE canvas four
Zines enroute to a technical knock
out victory in the second round.
Armstrong used this quick knock
out as a boomerang against Davis.
the Brooklyn Kayo artist who had
belted out lightweight champion
Bob Montgomery in 63 seconds.
The crowd of 1904 who paid a
gate of S58.822 cheered deliriously
when 3l-year- Armstrong began
smashing his 24-year-old opponent
into helpleSsness. And they shook
the rafters when Referee frankie
Fullam stopped the bout at SO sec
onds of the second round.
There was no need of a count
over blood-smeared BUNNY, as he
lay face down on the canvas.
Both fighters weighed 141@
pounds. This victory, the 22nd
knockout ON Armstrong's comeback
won for Henry a Garden fight in
August, probably against Tippy
Larkin, New Jersey welterweight.

LmperiuI Acmes
Back to First

The Imperial Acme5 are back ON
top. They defeated the Dessert
Seed 1873 Thurs day night.
Committing only three errors in
four games this season the Imperial
Acmes gave up three in the sixth
inning when the Dessert Seed COM
pany team scored seven runs to
duplicate the AcmeS' eight-run
rally in the third.
The Acmes jumped into the lead
early in their second appearance in
Ell Centro's stadium when they
scored twice in the lower half OF
the first inning. In the third in
ming Bob Mccall started a wild
fracas that resulted in seven hits
and eight runs on four errors OF
the seed team. Every man scored
in that inning with the exception
of M. Jackson and HickoX. In the
fourth tie AcmeS came back Tor
more but were stopped VIII
one run off two hits. In the fl1th
they scored two runs on two errors
and a fields choice. Three hits
netted them three runs in the sixth
to put them out in front 1873.
In the first half of the sixth
Ruley started the Seed team on
what was to prove an equally WIG
inning full of action. The Seed
company scored seven runs on three
hits and three errors by the Acmes.
Dropping fly balls had become SUCH
q tabit with the Dessert Seed that
the Acmes caught the disease IN
this frame. The Seed team tried
come back for more in the top hall
of the seventh but Fcrnasero's tally
was the only run TO cross the plate.
Fowlkes, Acme pitcher who holdS
a record of AZ strike outs in five
games, had tough going Thursday
night when his teammates shipped,
but throughout the game Demon
strated his cool mound ability. Paul
Fornasero, Dessert pitcher has only
y strike outs, but his team has
committed 81 errors in five games.
His pitching arm was injured when
he tried to stop a fast bail in the
third and he turned his ankle at
third in the seventh.
