Armstrong, pugilism's triple champion, "doesn't want to hog the field and it's possible he'll give up his featherweight crown at any time," his manager, Eddie Mead, said today. "To date, nobody has offered any real money for a featherweight championship fight," Mead declared, "I don't Intend to have Henry work down to 126 pounds for chicken feed. Maybe he could do it Weighed 180 after he beat Lou Ambers for the lightweight then again it might hurt him quite a bit. "If he felves up the featherweight crown, that would leave the field open for a tournament. And 1 wouldn't be surprised If Chalky Wright of Los Angeles would win.

He went like a million dollars in his New York fight on the Armstrong- Ambers card." Mead arrived here yesterday, but Armstrong isn't clue until Friday. The hammer-fisted little Negro, whose lip was cut severely by Ambers, will rest for at leust three months and may take a trip to Honolulu. Mead blamed Armstrong's lip Injury on a new mouthpiece he acquired just before the Ambers fight. It failed to fit, Mead said, and on the several occasions that Armstrong lost it, his lip was cut from inside by his teeth every time he was hit on the mouth. It also will be one of the youngest teams to represent the United States.

Budge and Mako are 22; Hunt and Riggs, 20. The squad was announced last night by the U. S. Lawn Tennis Association Davis Cup committee. The only surprise nomination was Hunt, who will serve ns spare.
