New: York, Oct. 29

Although Henry Armstrong is a 6-5 favourite to defeat Ceferino Garcia on Tuesday at Madison Square Garden, the "wise guys" along Broadway are saying that there are excellent prospects Henry will leave the ring as ruler only over the light-Weight division.

They point out that Garcia and his famous "Bolo Punch" forms the most formidable combination Hurricane Henry will yet have faced, and there seems to be a fairly sound foundavian to their arguments.

Garcia plans to set the pace in the fight from the first round on, thus stealing Armstrong's own thunder. He hopes ti policy will result in ah early knockout of Armstrong.

Armstrong, however, usually purs these same tactics himself, in which case the fight might resolve itself into a question of which fighter will fall first.
