DELAYED FIGHT ON WEDNESDAY Ambers And Armstrong Meet Tomorrow Night In New York New York. Aug. 16 - -<U.R>—There was mystery in the air today as lightweight champion Lou Ambers and his dusky challenger. "Hurricane" Henry Armstrong, rested at training camps, aching to fling leathered fists at each other tomorrow night in Madison Square Garden. The mystery concerned the bat- . tie plans of Ambers, the HerkimI er, N. Y., youngster who learned to fight in a church basement, won the title from his ring idol, Tony ; Canzoneri, and now must defend 1 it against one of the most savage : little men in the history of boxI ing. Before rain fell last Wednesday

100,000 at Soap Box Derby > &HJ if -J ft? .'■"AvK ry / J Ft . ju k Ml 1 TSJL “ ” 1 hblHk r I Am. Jew . View of the race, top, and Winner Robert Berger and dad To Robert Berger, 14, of Nebraska City, Neb., goes the $2,000 fouryear college scholarship, top reward for winning the All-American | soap box derby at Akron, 0., run before a crowd of 100,000 persons. * Berger was declared the winner In a photo-finish.

night and drove the fight indoors, Ambers was set to wage a defensive battle, hoping to tire and discourage Armstrong and perhaps win by a knockout in the later 1 rounds. But since returing to his training camp at Summit. N. J., Ambers apparently has abandoned those plans and hit upon a new campaign. In his last few sparring days —he finished training yesterday—Lou discarded his defensive tactics almost entirely and concentrated on stiff punching. Boxi ing experts were mystified by his reversion to the slugging style that won him 13 knockouts in his first 14 amateur fights more than seven years ago. And none could provide an answer. Ambers most ardet admirers have admitted his best chance against Armstrong, who hopes to become the ring's first “triple titleholder,” lies along lines of speed and evasion, keeping in motion instead of trying to get set and punch hard. The only reason for the change —if there will be one —would appear to be that Ambers and his

, board of strategy have noted some ■ defense weakness in the Los An--1 geles negro who knocked out 35 1 of his last 38 opponents en route • to the feather and welter titles. Ambers, his manager and trainer . refuse to talk — except to insist . that Lou will go in slugging be- ,. cause he can punch faster than . Henry and because he can cut up • the challenger and win by a tech- .' nical knockout. These gentlemen were reminded ■ today that no one ever made a .chopping block of Armstrong. 1 They squelched the query with a • unanimous: "But Armstrong never 1 fought Ambers before.” o WATER CARNIVAL HERE AUG. 25 Carnival To Be Held At City Swimming Pool On August 25 Plans are underway here for a gigantic water carnival to be held Thursday, August 25, at the Decatur municipal swimming pool, it was announced today.
