Henry Armstrong, famed "Hurricane Henry," today gave up the featherweight crown after holding three titles simultaneously. He won featherweight from Petey Sarron last October, added Barney Ross’ welter crown in May, then took Lou Ambers’ lightweight belt in July, citing inadequate rewards for the effort. Eddie Mead wired the New York Athletic Commission that Armstrong relinquished the lightest title, and suggested awarding a jeweled belt to the eventual new titleholder.
