ARMSTRONG IS i FIGHT WINNER I Henry Armstrong Defeats Lou Ambers In Sensational Scrap New York. Aug. 18. —<(U.R> The blood was barely dry today on the ; canvas where two great little men I fought and bled, but the crowd al-1 ready was roaring for a return bout between Lou Ambers and Henry; Armstrong. ‘‘l’ll challenge for the title im-1 mediately." said Ambers, peering, at you from eyes surrounded by' angry, crimson gashes. “Any time, any place,” said Armstrong through puffed, painful lips. Unless promoter Mike Jacobs' has lost his skilled touch on the, pulse of the public, the boys will , be in there again some evening.. It had been many a day since fight; spectators had seen anything to I equal what happened last night at | Madison Square Garden. They saw Armstrong, featherweight and welterweight champion, | win the lightweight championship! and become the first man ever to I hold three titles at the same time. | They saw Ambers, knocked clear I across the ring once and knocked, down twice, get up off the floor j and shake the blood out of his i eyes and come back to within a I whisker of winning the fight. They I saw two men who were bleeding, j leg-weary and gulping breath into burning lungs, stand toe to toe and, slug for 10 seconds after the fight was over. No matter what a man paid to get into the Garden last night, he got his money s worth Armstrong got the lightweight

Henry Armstrong!" “800. boo. boo!" The roar of' the crowd came rolling down from i the rafters and Ambers stood I there in a sweaty blue bathrobe ■ with the empty look on his face of a man who has just had bad I news. Then he shuffled across the I ring and stuck out his hand to--1 ward Armstrong and in those 10 paces he walked into the hearts of those who saw it. One thin round decided the fight.
