By Fred Dartnoll

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 16- round contest he was non-stop ag- gressor in defending his world weller- weight title against Erale Roderick, the British champion, and won easily on points.

But the Englishman was still cheer- ful. "I did my best," he said. "but I could not beat the greatest Bghter in the world."

And in these few words of recog nition from the loser you have the epitome of the fight.
