Armstrong, Sarron Settle Featherweight Title Mix-Up Tonight PUNCHER, FLAILER ‘ohomisE ThRiLS R Colored Boxer Favored on K. 0. Record, but Petey Is Noted Point-Scorer. By the Associated Press. EW YORK, Oct. 29.—Henry Armstrong and Petey Sarron, & couple battling buzz-saws, pop out of Mike Jacobs’ hat (where boxing's new czar carries all his business) and tangle for 15 rounds #n Madison Square Garden tonight to settle the featherweight title mess. The meeting of the irrestible force In Armstrong’s knockout wallop and the immovable defense of the boxer ¢rom 'Bama who never has been Boored marks Jacobs’ first venture as boss of the house that Tex built and should iron out the current compli- cated situation that has three title- holders at the head of the 126-pound parade. The National Boxing Association and States it controls recognize Sar- ron, the Syrian from Birmingham, as the kingpin of the feathers. In Cali- fornia it's Armstrong, and in other parts, particularly New York, Mike Belloise gets the call. Belloise, how- ever, has voluntarily relinquished his elaim, and New York's fistic fathers will nominate tonight’s winner as $op man. K. 0. Mark Favors Armstrong. TRICTLY on his recent record of 21 knockouts in 22 trips to the post, the California Negro goes into the ring as favorite at odds ranging from 3-1 to 3-2. These figures on Armstrong are quoted despite the somewhat overlooked facts that (1) the “pint-sized Louis” from Los An- geles has had plenty trouble shaving off 6 pounds to make the feather- weight limit, (2) he has never been ealled on to travel the 15-round championship route, and (3) Sarron has done all the fighting that has been asked of him, with no signs of weakening. Jacobs is confident his debut as successor to the Jimmy Johnston fight vegime in the big Eighth avenue| spprts salon that Tex Rickard put up 1 be successful to the tune of a 840,000 gate and 16,000 fan turnout. Sarron has been guaranteed $15,000 or a choice of 33%; per cent of the take, and Armstrong $7,500, or 1635 per cent. Colored Fighter Puncher. ARMSTRONG is regarded as the most remarkable little fighting man tossing fists today. He hits like the kick of an Army mule and, almost solely by that virtue, has come a long way in a short time from his| newsboy days around St. Louis, where | he was the youngest child in a family | of 13. Sarron's record is based less on his ability to rock his rivals to sleep than en the busy methods he employs eutpointing them. A whirlwind fight- er, he's usually wading in, throwing punches by the dozen. He won the title from Freddie Miller last year | and has successfully defended it twice —against Miller and Baby Manuel. AUTO MARK HUNTER IS ‘SNAIL IN TRAFFIC’| Most Cautious Dfiver Declares Brother of Eyston, Who Does 309.6 Miles Per Hour. Bs the Associated Press. ONNEVILLE SALT FLATS, Utah, Oct. 20.—Capt. E. T. Eyston, who sped 309.6 m.p.h. over this salt desert westerday, is just a “snail in trafc— the most cautious driver you've ever | Been.” The Briton's younger brother Basil made that disclosure today while Capt. Evston rested and mechanics primed his “Thunderbolt” for another assault en the 301 m.p.h. record for 1 mile. The younger Eyston said the racer’s | wife, the former Olga Eyre of New York, “disapproves of his racing, but | his daughters, Betty, 7, and Magda- lene, 11, think it's jolly fun.” Transmission trouble halted Eyston bhalfway through his record attempt yesterday.

KANNER, SWIMMER PUT ON FIGHT CARD Heavies to Clash in 6-Rounder of Reid-Ingram Show Here Next Monday Night. URRAY KANNER, pinhead local heavyweight, who has compiled a rather enviable record during his brief professional career, will stack up against an unknown, Jimmy Swimmer of Baltimore, in a six-round prelim- inary to the feature eight-round bout involving Al Reid and Ray Ingram Monday night at Turner's Arena. Kanner kayoed the feeble Kirke Burke in his last appearance and now is nursing hopes of enticing Marty Gallagher or Bob Tow into the same ring. Gallagher and Tow are occu- pied in New York, however, and doubt- less will remain so. Pete Galiano, veteran Baltimore lightweight, will clash with Jack Giacalone, New York Italian, in an- other six-rounder, while still another pits George Abrams, home boy, un- defeated in 10 pro encounters, against Vic Finazzo, Baltimore middleweight.

And every one of these sizes and real U. S. Standard Inches. There are no “Codes” or 30 Regal Shoes is marked in plain shoe TP so-called “blind” sizes to confuse or deceive you, and help hide and conceal the proper size required to fit your foot correctly. But only ONE of these 30 sizes to an Inch will fit your foot. If your foot is measured and fitted 1/12 of an Inch too short, or 13 of an Inch too long—if it is %3 of an Inch too wide or too narrow, it’s apt to cause friction or pressure, which is the start of most foot troubles that twist and torture the tender bones of the foot. The new RESCO Twin-Foot 3-Way Measuring Machine, which is now a part of the fitting equipment in every Regal Store, is the only machine in the world that automatically records the measurements of both the right and left foot, at the same time, in a Sitting, Stand- ing and Stepping position—and translates foot sizes into Inches. Step into any Regal Store today, without any obligation to purchase, and have both your feet measured the new Regal way—on the new Resco 3-Way Measuring Machine. STOP You are in danger of be- ing fitted short, if the salesman follows the usual custom and only measures the length of one: foot, while you are sitting down. Because when you stand up, the foot expands under the weight of the body and there is frequently a difference of two full sizes, or two-thirds of an inch.
