Hollow boxing victory for Amatrong over Amber in title claim
Henry Amatrong wins the light heavyweight featherweight and welterweight crowns in a fight that critics deem a hollow triumph for the negro hero. Observers note most ringside writers gave Armstrong a slight edge despite Ambers' supporters challenging the verdict. Gate receipts total 102,280 with Armstrong earning 19,530.28 and 18,240 in attendance. Beavers football lineup gains Bill Myers as assistant to Rose Byler, promising a strong coaching setup for Cory High. Pirates viewed as strongest in their league with cautious talk about overtaking the Yankees, who lead the world title race but show weakness.
