Won Decisively

Armstrong, although unable to finish his sturdy foe and actually hard-pressed to save his winning margin through the last fivc rounds, scored two knockdowns and won decisively, notwithstanding the penalties assessed against him for questionable tactics and the parti- san demonstration by a majority of the crowd after the verdict was announced.

Amber's was knocked down in the fifth round. and saved by the bell, which rang a. spilt second sf- ter he was smashed to the canvas by s right to the jaw.

Anmstrong brought his man down again, for the count of eight in the sixth round but his most das- pcrate efforts thereafter were un- able to upset Ambers. 1

Armstrong threw every punch in his arsenal in a bid for a. knock- out in the 11th. Again. in the 14th. after losing three straight rounds to Ambers—two of l-hcm on pen- alt-ies—the negro connected with a right that knocked the champion into the ropes. But for the back- stop Lou would have gone down for the third time. but he recov- ered his footing and averted fur. ther trouble.

The victory for the 25-year-old negro capped the climax of the most amazing championship win- ning streak in pugilistic annals, Billing Armstrong his third world title in less than-IO months.
