RODERICK'S GALLANT DISPLAY
London, To-day.
Henry Armstrong, holder of the world welterweight boxing_title, retained his title at Harringay Arena yesterday when he out- pointed Ernie Roderick, of Liver- pool over 15-rounds.
Roderick was outclassed and won only two or three rounds but he did what only three others have ever done, namely, take Armstrong the full 15 rounds.
The whole fight consisted of Armstrong shuttling in, ducking and weaving in a most bewildering manner, breaking these tactics only momentarily to swing a left or right to the head.

Roderick's defence was ordinarily good and he rarely gave Armstrong an opening.
OPENED OUT Armstrong was content to size up his opponent in the first round which Roderick won with numer- ous left leads.
Armstrong then opened out and punched away fiercely, allowing Roderick no respite or chance to use his left.
He also asked whether he could state to what point it was intended to carry it and when the Chinese Government expect to have trains running.
