But it’s not the lack of soft spots, it's the treacherous up and down air currents that make most pilots avoid the high spots of the Conti- nental divide.

Anyone who goes in for parlays * or long shots might do much worse Two than place a double bet on Hen- * ry Armstrong to become the new welter king and Max Schmeling to take the heayyweight title away from Joe Louis. Armstrong is undoubtedly the ¢ of his division today and th> standout “little n" of the boxing world. His impressive string of kayoes testifies to his ability to put them away and, although he is giving away considerable weight in taking on Barney Ross in New York on May 26, there are many who think he will be able to spell finis to the pugilistic career of the veteran Barney. in the m'mors, K Boggan's Trio eys tonigit hour later Arctic Laundry. ement 8 Strike 14.—-A settie- at and Armstrong Hord Hitter On top of that — if Armstrong should trim Ross—he might annex a third title since the winner of the match is scheduled to meet Lou Ambers, present lightweight cham- | pion, who sceks the welter crown Ry all indications, Ambers is a lit- tle too ambiticus and may regret if he swaps punches with the hard-hitting and fast-moving little Negroc.
