But then the fortunes of both Armstrong and Mead started to change. Henry's changed first. He started to fade as a fighter.

In 1940 he met Fritzie Zivic and not only was deprived of his welterweight title but was so badly cut about the eyes that it was feared he might go blind. He wasn't convinced that Zivic was his master, however. He demanded another fight. Mead got him the fight and the result was worse than the first time, Henry was cut Just as badly about the eyes and was knocked out besides. "That will be all for yon, Henry," said Fat Eddie Mead.

And Henry never fought again while Mead lived. The I rge to Fight Overwhelms Henry BIT KEEPING him on'tlie side-linos was no easy task. The annuities which Mead induced Armstrong to purchase have not begun to pay off, friends say, and Henry wanted a few more fights to provide him with the wherewithal until they do. He told Mead. Fat Eddie gave him half a dozen fighters and told him to let ther-.

earn the money for him. Just before Mead died Armstrong wrote him a letter again asking him to get some fights for him. A less sentimental guy than Fat Eddie might have boon tempted to oblige, for he needed the money. But he didn't need It so badly that he would risk having his little friend go blind earning it for him. So he told Henry he would arrange no fights for him, and since he held the contract on Henry, nobody else could arrange fights for hi in either.

But Fat Eddie Mead died short ly after he wrote that letter. And now come those few meaningful lines from San Jose. Yes. as Mr. J.

MR. J. BCRTO.V CONNORS, former inspector for the State Boxing Commission, was reading the newspaper. Presently he cocked his head on one side, took, a last puff a cigaret, threw it away and then looked up. "I see that Fat Eddie Mead did lose the duke in his last fight," he said.

Somebody asked Mr. Connors to explain and he held up the newspaper. "The story is right here in bold face agate type," said Mr. Connors. He once was a copy boy on the Denver Post and knows his type.

Somebody read it aloud: "SAN JOSE, Calif. Henry Armstrong, 148, SL Louis, won by technical knockout over Johnny Taylor, Oakland (4)." The Same Armstrong the Ring World Hailed T1I.V? WAS all. but it meant that Jat Lddie Mead, the fight manager who dropped dead on the sidewalks of New York onlv a few days ago. really had lost his last fight. For the Henry Armstrong who rought In that little fight club in San Jose was the same Henry Armstrong who once beld the world featherweight, lightweight and welterweight titles all at the same time.

He was managed by Fat Eddie Mead, and Fat Eddie Mead didn't want him to fight again. You know the story about Arm strong. A St. Louis Negro boy who had done some boxing, he heard the call of the west one day and freighted his way to California to seek whatever it had to offer. On the Coast he started bjxing andMiad some success.

But he didn't strike pay dirt until he met up with Mead. With borrowed money, Mead purchased Armstrong's contract and headed eastward with him. The puir won the featherweight cliaiiipiiinshii uhen Armstrong knocked out Sarron Oct, 29, 1937. Less than a year later Armstrong won the welterweight title by defeating Barney Ross.

Or the days when, as a member of the Centennial Little Four, he was on the crew that won the national championship in 1882. Or the time he threw Andy Cristol, the French middleweie-ht champion. Or the day he sent a seventeen-year-old kid In to pitch for the Blootnington Keds of the Three kye League- and gave Clark Calvin Griffith now president of the Washington Senators, his start in professional ball. Or even the days when he was a trainer for the Tigers and Hughcy Jennings was breaking in as manager and Ty Cobb as a player. McMahon was born in Port Hope, but has been a resident i of Detroit since 1867.

ICs the Air or Nothing for Tebbetts BY CHARLES P. WARD George (Birdie) Tebbetts is not going to be granted the commission In the United States Army Air Corps for which he applied Tuesday, according to Army officials. He is too young for the kind of position he sought, they said Wednesday. Maj. Frank Denny, of the Army procurement division, said Wed nesday that the Tiger catcher had applied for a commission as a member of a ground crew In thej Air Corps.

Denny said Army regulations forbid the taking of men under 30 years for this sort of service. Tebbetts will be 28 Nov. 10. Maj. Denny said that if Tebbetts wanted to get into the Air Corps, the corps undoubtedly would take his application for training as a student pilot.

However, in order to get into the corps at all, Tebbetts would have to pass the physical tests which are somewhat more exacting than the tests for other branches of the service- Tebbetts took the physical exam ination for Air Corps duty at Sel-S fridge Field Monday before the! Tigers departed on their Eastern i tour. Birdie rejoined the Tigers in time to play against the Athletics at Philadelphia Tuesday night. Crown Taken by Red Run Red Run No. 1 won the championship of the Navy Division of the Mens District Golf League Wednesday and did It convincingly.

They were willing to admit this because the downfall of St.

Majr-tin's, Ironically enough, was caused by a pair of Martins: Bill Martin, St. Philip's pitcher, and Harry Martin, the catcher, but no relation to Bill. All Bill did to make the afternoon a dismal one for St. Martin was fan 11 batsmen while turning in a tyo-hit effort and contribute a single to an attack which included only two hits. And Harry you guessed It got the other hit, a double after Bill had singled in the sixth.

The game was a heartbreaker for St. Martin's and most particularly for Johnny Stieger, whose two-hit pitching was wasted when three errors, the two Martin bits, and a walk gave the game to St. Philip's. It was the second time that St. Philip's had defeated St.

Martin's this season. As the result of the victory, SL Philip's wilt meet St. Alphonsus' for division honors next week. Lourdes went into a tie for the lead for the First Division West Side title by defeating ik. Leo's, 5 to 3, in nine innings after going into the seventh trailing, 3 to 0.

An error and three singles in the seventh enabled Lourdes to tie the score at three runs. That gave Al Ncuman the chance to decide the contest by hitting a home run after Barney Labol had singled In the ninth. The victory was the sixth In eight games for Lourdes and it made it possible for the First Division race on the West Side to end in a three-way tie. St. Mary's of Redford is still In the competition and will go Into a tie with Lourdes and Redeemer if it defeats St.

In the practice of sportsmanship it is wise for the ball player to start with the umpire. He should receive the respect he deserves for reasons of simple prudence if for no other.
