WORLD TITLE
15 ROUNDS
OF NON-STOP ATTACK
By Fred Dartnell
London, May 26.
Henry Armstrong, dual world champion, was the win- ner of a fight at Harringay last night which will never be forgotten by those who saw it.
From beginning to end of the 15- round contest he was non-stop ag- gressor in defending his world welter- wolght title against Ernie Roderick, the British champlon, and won easily on points.
After the verdict, Armstrong came to the microphone. Ils left eye was swollen, but he was otherwise quite composed.
**I thank you for your generous reception," he dra zled out, "If you want to see me again I. will be pleased if you make another match here for me.'
Then Roderick, the man he had beaten after one of the most pal- pllating fights ever seen in this coun-
had been face try, spoke. Ils battered by hundreds of punches, and there was a lump as large as a hen's egg on his right check.
ARMSTRONG LIVES UP TO HIS NAME
But the Englishman was still cheer- ful. “I did my best," he said, "but I could not beat the greatest fighter in the world.”
And in these few words of recog nition from the loser you have the Jepitome of the fight,
Armstrong, in his dressing room afterwards, declared that Roderick was the gamest boxer he had ever

One doubts whether Armstrong. knows any other form of fighting. Certainly he did not retreat once. Roderick lashed him with fine rights and stabbed away at him with hard driving letts.
But the Negro seemed immune to everything.

Towards the end of the fight Roderick tried to see what he could do with some rights to the stomach, usually supposed to be the Negro's weak spot, but Armstrong just thrived on being hit.
