Pep 4th Feother Champion Since "A s c Days Of '33

New York, Feb. 9.-When Willie Pep defends his 126-pound division crown against Phil Terranova on Monday, Feb. 19, it will mark only the sixth time in twelve years that Madison Square Garden has wit messed featherWeight title contest.
 Back in May, 1883, Kid Chocolate made a successful defense of his laurelS against Seaman Watson, the British challenger, turning Watson back in fifteen rounds.
 Then there was a lapse of more than four years before Garden fight fans again saw a featherWeight championship event. This was an historic event, too, not only because world title was at stake but also because the show was the first pro- noted by Mike Jacobs and his Twentieth Century Sporting Club at the Garden.
 The date was Oct. 29, 1897, and the principals were Petey Sarron, the National Boxing Association champion, and Henry Armstrong. he New York State Athletic Con- ~ ssion agreed to recognize the win- z [ as its champion, too, and Arm trong become the titledholder by topping Sarron in the sixth round. This was the first of the three world titles won by Armstrong.
 Chalky vs. Lulu
 Not until Sept. 25, 1942, was there another featherweight title bout at the Garden, now it was Chalky Wright who held the title and he had as his opposition Charley Gulu) CoStantino. Wright won the deci- 6Son in fifteen rounds and retained his laurels.
 But not for long. Two months later Wright riSked his championship and this time Wright was shorn of and ths time Wright was Shorn of his crown. The date was Nov. 20. 1942.
 Pep riSked his honorS against Sal Bartolo in Boston in 1943, but it wasn't until last Sept. 29 that he defended his crown at Madison Square Garden. Again Chalky Wright was in the opposite corner and again Pep vanquished Wright decisively in fifteen rounds.
 Now Pep returns to the Garden to make another defense and this time he takes on former NB.A. champion. Phil Terranova.
