ARMSTRONG TOPS zANNELLI
 FOR THIRD TIME
BY JACK FROST United Press Staff Correspondent

United Press Staff Correspondent
 Boston, May r - (UP) - With some 13 years in the ring behind him, indestructible Henry Armstrong of Los Angeles continued to reign as king of the duration welter- weights today after hammering out a decisive and unquestioned victory over granite-chinned Ralph zan- nelli of Providence, R. I.
 Older, slower and with some of the sting missing from his punches, Armstrong nevertheless proved last night to 6023 fans ta Boston Gar den that he still can cover the l0- round route in @ breeze.
 His great right hand that tipped over better than 200 opponents dur ing the years couldn't drop zannelli. But in the final round last night staggering along the ropes and paw ing roh relief.
 For the first three rounds zan- nelli was ahead as he danced back ward, stabbed with his left hand and made Armstrong chase him. At the outset of the fourth, the form CT triple champion worked zannelli into a corner and began fussilade of left and right hand hooks and uppercuts that continue duntil the final bell.
 Slowed Down
 Except for 0 slight cut on his in- ner lip that came when he zigged when he should have gagged, Arm strong was unmarked.
 "The only trouble I had was catching up with him." said Arm strong after the fight. I'm not so fast as was"
 Zannelli, however, had a slight nose cut, @ purple lump on his fore- head, a cut right eye and complain ed that one punch caught him in the throat and caused him to lose his voice.
 Armstrong slowed down during the eighth and ninth. apparently tiring of throwing punches. But he came back in the 10th with wild rush that nearly rocked zannelli off his feet.
 It was the third time that Arm strong had come out winner over zanneln and was probably his most decisive victory.

 The United Press score sheet gave Armstrong five rounds, zan- nelli three with two even. Arm strong weighed l43. Zannelli. IA 3-4. The fight grossed $l5,922 for a net of $ll,759.
