DYNAMITE HANK ARMSTRONG BATTERED DAVY DAY TO THE FLOOR IN 12th ROUND FOR A TECHNICAL KNOCKOUT TO RETAIN THE WELTERWEIGHT CHAMPIOIN8HIP By Billy Davis Little Henry Armstrong added 1 another victim to his list of knock outs at Madison Square Garden, Friday night, March 31st when he heat Davy Day of Chicago sense less in practically every round. Day gave Armstrong everything he had but just couldn’t stop the little champ from charging into him. Making his sixth defense of the welterweight championship in the last four months, Armstrong svns bos9 of the situation almost from the first punch to the last, Drisk salvo. Armstrong wore a plaster I cast on his left hand after the fight. His right fist was bruised and swollen and a slit on his eye brow was embroidered shut, but ho wus still welterweight cham pion of the world and a great lit tle champion. Day crumpled to the canva8 in the twelth with a bleary look on bis face. The referee saw he could not continue so he stopped the fight. Day’s right eye was com pletely closed Armstrong had a nasty cut under his left eye. Day was ono of the gamest fighters who has fought Dynamite Hank for a long time.

The show ing of movies is a nighty diversion on shore stations and ships. Tho Navy is perhaps the world’s lar gest distributor of motion pictures. It maintains 2000 films in circu lation and has a nightly attendance of about 100.000 men. 300 to 400 new films are acquired each year. Two schools are maintained where care and operation of projector* and apparatus is taught Navai personnel. Tho first large floating drydock I of the Navy was the “DEWEY” | now at Olongapoo, P. I. This dock ! was towed there from Chesapeake, Bay, a distance of 13,000 miles. Tho passage took 150 days. The first armed forces of the United States to land in France at the start of the World War were Naval aviators, 7 June 1917 at Bordeaux, and 8 June 1917 at St. Nazaire. No United States Man-of-War has ever mutinied or been in the hands of mutineers. In some other Navies, whole squadrons and fleets have mutinied. Seagulls sometimes adopt a ship and follow it from port to port, even on trans-Atlantic trips. At dusk they settle down on the waves and sleep. At daybreak they resume their journey.” -■—0O0 DO YOU REMEMBER? Attention race horse fans! Starting from today on there will be a column every week concern ing your favorie sport.
