Los Angeles, Sept. 12.
It will be a mistake from today on to refer to Henry Armstrong, the Black Plague of Boxing, as a "triple champion." 1 Hurricane Henry officially announced today that he was relinquishing all claims to the featherweight championship, owing both to the scarcity Of suitable challengers and the extreme difficulty he experiences in making the weight limit of 126 pounds.
The players will have tiffin together at the Clubhouse at about 1.15 p.m. and those who will not be present at tiffin are asked to notify the hon. secretary as soon as possible.
The handicapping will be on the board system, i.e. the lowest handicap player goes to scratch and the other three' get their full difference in strokes between their handicap and his at the holes stated on the scoring card, i.e. "A" who is 4 will go to scratch, "B" who is 7 to 3, "C" 11 to 7, and "D" 18 to 14, ie. all go down 4 strokes.
