Los Angeles, Feb. 19.
The California Boxing Commission today postponed the—ten-round middle-weight championship fight between Henry Armstrong, negro world welterweight, and Ceferino Garci:
ole" punching Filipino middleweight titleholder, to March 1 because of a rope burn on Garcia's leg. The fight was originally set for February 22.
Dr. W. L. Carver said that the sore "looked like a boil." Boxing Commis sioners Jules Covey and Everett Sanders accepted Carver's report and reset the date of the bout.
Eddie Mead, manager of Armstrong, said that "Garcia is trying to run Out on us again.' George Parnassus, Garcia's manager, said that the Filipinos burn might handicap him in the ring.
Dr. Carver said that he would probably lance Garcia's boil Monday or Tuesday. The leg was slightly red on Saturday, but he was able to work out. On Sunday it became badly swollen and he had to stop working out today.
Trainers of the boxers said that the postponement would hurt neither of the battlers as was the case two years and when Armstrong's back injury delayed the fight and caused Garcia to go supposedly stale in the three week interim, resulting in his losing the bout.
Garcia will weigh around 152 and Armstrong probably will weigh about 140.
The gate will be stimulated because of the crowds expected for the Santa Anita US$100000 handicap race, which is to be held here March 2—United Press. won by nine pins at 741-732. But the ultimate winners came back in the remaining two strings and turned defeat into victory.
The Foreign "Y" bowlers nearly fell victims at the hands of the American Club, taking the initial game by a margin of 780-725. The second one resulted in an easy victory, but in the third game Miss Hykes scored a good single of 181 to save a shutout defeat by 781-700.
