Boxer Hammering Hawk Armstrong Becomes Baptist Evangelist
Henry Armstrong once held three boxing titles and now preaches in St. Louis as a Baptist minister. At 51 he stands 5 feet 5 inches and weighs around 180 pounds, still showing old power despite years since his ring glory. He credits a spiritual awakening for abandoning drinking after a turbulent life, turning a California home bar into a pulpit. Detroit Tiger Dick McAuliffe is in the Air Force Reserve.
