Armstrong Beats Lew In a Hurry
Henry Retains Crowns by Knocking Out Foe in First Round.
ST. LOUIS, March 17 (U. P.).— Those betting boys who thought Lew Feldman would last three rounds against Henry Armstrong paid off today. Armstrong, St. Louis born Negro had to go to California to make a
living as a fighter, put the light and | sl
welterweight titles on the line last night and a capacity crowd of 10,000 saw Feldman counted out after two minutes and 12 seconds of the first round. ‘Feldman had lasted five rounds against Henry in their meeting a year ago and bragged before this , fight that he had the little Negro’s
~
style. His number was up from the Bi
time Armstrong sailed into him at the opening bell. “Before mixed bouts were permitted here, Henry futiley tried to win fame as a boxer under the name Melody Jackson, but he failed fo please and in 1931 he and his brother set out for the West. Since, he has won three world championships and outgrown one — the featherweight title which he discarded. In his last fight here Henry dropped a decision to Tony Chavez on a foul.
Henry Wades in Fast
‘Weighirig 134 pounds, one. less than his opponent, Armstrong tore in with both arms flailing at the bell. A right caught Lew on the jaw, and he was on the floor for a nine count before the bout was a minute old. When Lew got up from the first knockdown, Henry drove him into a neutral corner. He pounded him unmercifully on the ropes. Feldman grasped the ropes and tried to hold on for a few more seconds and Henry stepped back. Then as Lew left the protection of the ropes, Armstrong charged in again and never stopped throwing punches until a stiff right on the button dropped the Brooklyn boy for the * fall count.

Miss Fischer will come on April 23 when these two are matched here for the National Senior 220-yard breast stroke championship. In a medley, Patty has to swim not only a breast stroke but also a crawl and a back stroke, assignments which she does very well although the breast stroke is her specialty. If you haven't been swimming here of late the chances are you might not recognize the breast stroke since. it, along with airplanes and the goofier kinds of modernistic furniture, seems to have undergone a sort of streamlining.

This method is so old fashioned that Patty and other members of the Indianapolis Athletic Club’s youngest swimming generation haven’t even learned it. Under the new method the swimmer brings his arms clear out of the water and extends them before making the pull-back stroke. This cuts down on the resistance resulting from forcing your arms forward under the water but requires back

and arm strength that a railroad
fireman might envy. Patty calls this stroke the “wimpy” for some obscure reason, but it might better be described as a flying breaststroke or a double crawl. By learning this new method rather than the old one, Mr. Papenguth said she has developed remarkable power and co-ordination. While most girls can only use a stroke like this.for two or three lengths of the pool, she is able to go for distances with it. Because this method of swimming takes so much back strength, there is a tendency when fatigued to cut down on leg movement. By wearing shoes Patty helps to avoid this style fault. Patty won her first medal when she was 9 and began swimming in the Indianapolis Athletic pool three years ago. Because A. A. U. rules prohibited her from competing with women in national events while she was under 12, she took part oniy in club and City meets until after her birthday last Sept. 25. Two months later, while swimming in an exhibition being given by the club team at Purdue University she swam the breaststroke for 200 yards in 2 minutes 55.4 seconds, a national record. On Jan. 22 she swam 100 yards, just two-tenths of a second off the national record of 1:18.5, which now is held by Katherine Rawls Thompson, and later she equalled this 100yard record while on her way to establishing a new mark of 1:25.4 in the 100 meters in a 25-yard course. She also has set a mark in the 100 meters on a 20-yard course of 1:27.3. None of the records but the one established at Purdue have been officially recorded, and her coach said she might cut her own times down again before fall when the official listings are made. With some giggles and the usual

amount of 12-year-old toe stubbing, Patty admits that she collects pictures of movie stars and stamps, and likes arithmetic. She is in the seventh grade at School 43 and attends dancing school, but “the teacher won't let us do any of this jitterbug stuff.”
‘Thinking About Olympics
Patty must have learned to swim at a very early age, because she has
no clear recollection of when this event occurred. She lives with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Aspinall, 135 W. Hampton Drive, and says in reading runs largely to mystery and adventure stories. “Lately I have been worried a little about how hard it is to pronounce Finnish names,” she said. “I had: better find out something about them though. “You see if I work real hard and am lucky enough to make the 1940 Olympic team, I probably could make a lot of nice friends if I knew more about the Finns.”

Phil Bisesi today had done his part toward making this week one of the most noteworthy- of the current bowling season in Indianapolis. Last night Bisesi rolled a brilliant 764—the highest of the campaign—in the Universal League at Pritchett’s. . He opened with 244, skyrocketed to 275 and then dropped down to 245 on his last try. Just 98 pins down the list came the second name in high scoring. That was Charles McCann, also in the Universal loop, who came through with a 676. His middle game of ‘237 proved to he Bisesi his best and was flanked by a strong 213 and 226. Bisesi, in marking up ong of the higher marks of the season and the highest in several %weeks, was the third pinman to gain special notice along the hardwood alleys here this week. He was preceded by y Roberson, who came through with a perfect. Tuesday afternoon, and by Harold Goldsmith, who Wednesday got his first 300 score after 13 years of knocking around the various alleys in Indianapolis.
_ Ale Team Hits 3021 Bisesi’s mark helped put his, the
Drewery Ale crew, in the top spot for team scoring with a bang-up
3021. They smashed out counts of|
1045, 1008 and 968. . Probably the most disappointed pinman in Indianapolis today is Wenning, who in the DiamondChain loop missed 600 by a pin. He tallied 198, 192 and finished strong with 209. Another fine team score was recorded by the Printers Baseball Blub in the Print Craft League atl Pritchett’s. They showed games of 981, 940 and 997 for 2918. Middaw was best for them with 644.
