De Correvont with the object ‘No Interference Wanted __ of his affections, Dorothy Lagoril, ARMSTRONG CALLED BEST LIGHTWEIGHT IN BUSINESS TODAY Ranked Above Ambers by the Ring Magazine Afntr Poll of Fight Experts New York, Dec. 27.—()—There's an argument brewing in fistic circles that to wax hotter and hot- ter until the night next summer when Ambers climbs through the ropes to defend his itweight cham- pionship against the “wonder fighter,” Dusky Henry Armstrong of Los An- geles, the featherweight king. The Ring magazine, announcing the results of its poll of the world’s boxing writers on the top fighting men for 1937, has added fuel to the debate by conceding Ambers’ crown to Armstrong without a blow having been struck, So struck were the 393 participat- ing fight experts by Armstrong’s rec- ord of 27 straight victories—26 by knockouts—that they not only nom- inated him top featherweight without ® dissenting vote, but went right on to name him the best lightweight by a sizeable majority over Ambers. Also, they voted him, pound for pound, the best scrapper in the business. One Award Surprising The lightweight award was sur- prising, in that only re- cently began taking on some of the better 135 pounders, whereas Ambers has for a year held the title without much difficulty, turning back both Tony Canzoneri and Pedro Montanez when the chips were down. Automatically, the projected meet- ing of Armstrong and Ambers be- comes the second most attractive battle on the 1937 schedule, outranked only by the Schmeling-Louis tussle, The Ring’s poll offers no other sur- prises to speak of, Ambers being the only champion not listed as on the top of his division. Joe Louis’ strong comeback, including his knockout of Champion Jim Braddock and his win over Tommy Farr, enabled him to Poll 354 votes to 41 for Max Schmeling.

Right ie New York ‘Rangers, Boston Bruins and New York Ameri- cans have the best defensive records in the circuit. In 17 games each they have allowed 27, 29 and 30 goals, re- spectively. The Bruins are a bit out of order, leading the American division by four points over the Rangers al- though their goal average is not as good as New York’s. The Americans, after whipping Boston 3-1 Sunday bie. night, are tied with the Montreal Canadiens for second in the inter- national division.
