ARMSTRONG TO 1 BATTLE AMBERS j TUESDAY NIGHT Lightweight Crown At Stake In New York Tomorrow Night ——— New York. Aug 21 «U.» Henry Armstrong, who Is used to entering the ring a topheavy fav-. orlte, waa no better than 7-5 today to retain his lightweight crown against lam .Am tiers tomorrow night, and the price may b»- even money when they climb through the ropes Not since Benny lemnard and le>w Tendler tangled In 1822. has there been such a lightweight "natural" as thia return Arm-atHUig-Ambera lumt, and some 35.<*ot> fan* arc expected to pay around lISO.OOo to see the 15-round brawl Ambers closed so faat and came so near retaining the 135-pound crown against Armstrong a year ago that there was a public demand for a return go. When the match waa aigned. Armstrong was a 13-5 favorite, but the uncertain condition of hie brit-i tile hand* ha* flushed plenty of Amber* greenbacks In the le*ttlng marts. Both concluded their laixiug workouts yesterday, and will do' only roadwork or light limberingup exercises today .1 Because of the closeness of their last fight, aud tbe uncertainty over the outcome of thi* one. it is a big betting fight. Armstrong'* 147-pound welterweight title will not be endangered becauae of New York's ruling against two title* being at stake In <me bout, and le-cause of a contract calling for Armstrong to defend hie welter crown within *o days against Am brrs—lf -Lou wins the light-i weight tiara No fighter's fists ever took any more punishment than Armprogress of his nght against paralysis which forced him to retire after 2.110 conseentive games "I've been having Injections twice a week since the last time I waa up here." he said “I feel pietty well and not much different.” He said he had gained a pound a week since retiring to the bench ten weeks ago.
