Rumors of War
Since Henry Armstrong’s re
lease from the treatments of his
physician much speculation arose
whether he is a fit subject to bat
t! Oerferino Garcia Friday night
Nov. 25th. Rumors always spread
thick anti fast this fight being no
exception. They continually divide
public mind and opinion to the ex
tent there will be found the arm
ies of both fighters showing their
listeners the yea and nae side of
their opponents- for argument.
First it was claimed “Uncle
Mike Jacobs’’, was looking around
the corner when the Cyclonic Cali
fornia Clouter of Fistiana slipped
and wiped part of the rosin off the
floor with his Sunday Gym suit.
They say the foxy old Czar of
Swat held his stop-watch to see if
the performance came off per sche
dule. Again the followers of Cer
ferino the Great claim Henry need
ed more time to prepare for such
a touch costumer as the battling
Spaniard. Other wiseacres of the
califlcwer industry say, Lou Am
ber’s copyright on Henry’s mend
ed mouth still left his unhealed
trademark. Last but not least,
these close to the portals of the in
ner -office claim the Board of
Directors was very dissatisfied
when he heard the reports of the
advance negotiable in the Twen
tieth Century Club’s strong box.
Those are the rumore my friends
and you can jump on any side of
the fence you wish, even straddle.
They always cause waring factions
like the split of a Holly-Roller
Church. If you are a Garcia man
and hear the Armstrong mob
spread the fight dope you feel like
shouldering arms. To hear the Gar
cia loyal Letiprimaries it rriakes
you want to throw a Hitler bomb
of the strongest variety. After
the rumors come these.
If you were to stroll down to
Grupp’s Gym on 116th St. and 9th
Avc. you would see the only Tri
Champion train it would quickly
dispel any doubts about his condi
tion. The way he tore into his two
sparring partners, one Chalky
Wright, his aggressive sparing
shadow you would never think that
he laid off a day due to back in
juries. Hea ddown flaying with
both hands, an occasional left
spearing jab ducking and effective
ly blocking a loop Bolo punch
w'th his right glove breaking the
power by a slight twist of his
body; he not only seems the Arm
strong of old but a better Arm
strong than I’ve ever seen before,
m Hot Springs this late winter
while a guest of Dr. Philips of
Pythian Bath * House fame 11
thought he was at his peak in ap-'
pearance. I now think he looks
better. Make no mistake Cerferino j
seems to be in great shape. He told
me that he intended to lift the
title from our Race pride very con-1
fident. In training he is punching j
hard and fast. A real chance he,
has.
I pick Armstrong by decision in
15 rounds. Carfia will be trouble
some for three or four rounds than
look for Henry all the way. If
there shall be a surprise, Arm
strong by a knackout after ten
rounds. Think of the humors, then
remember the dope string with
the CHAMPION. Boys and pals
this will be a fight. You can bet
your turkey money that the best
man will wi nthis fight and no fish
will be near to smell as Little
