Armstrong Puts Title On

Mat Tonight

NEW YORK. Jan. 33—(AP)— Hammerln’ Henry Armstrong puts nls World Welterweight Champion- ship on the lzne for the 15th t'.me tomorrow nfght in Madrson Square Garden against the still-punching body attack 0f Pedro Montanez of Puerto Rico.

They tangle over the Ill-round route and the way Gsu Q. Fan and family have token to the res-party has promoter Mike Jacobs beamlng. “Uncle Mike" figured tonight that some 18.1700 would be on hand for the festivities, contributing to e gross gate of more than 550,000.

The little buzzsaw who climbs in- to the ring about 11 p_rn. AST t0- morrow nzgnt 1s slower than the rip- ‘Wflflllg negro dynamLtcr who sky- rocketed out oi‘ the wet a couple of years back to become the first fighter in ring history to hold three championships simultaneously. But he still sets a red hut pace and he 1e punching sharper and harder.

As a result, the odds-layers have made Henry the Hammer a l-to-3 favorite.

Although Armstrong rightly l; rightly favored by the betting folks, the 1-to-3 price seems somewhat tar-fetched on the face of Montan- w‘; reccrd. Llke Henry, Pedro the Pounder has had two gct-togetherg W13‘: LOU Amber-l. and, like Henry, he has spilt a pair of decisions with ' the lilo-pound tltleholcler. He has) been a consistently good campwgn. er in both the lightweight and wel- terweight classes.
