BOXING
ARMSTRONG’S MATCH WITH AMBERS. (United Press Association —By Telegraph—Copyright). . NEW YORK, August 22. ' An attendance of 50,000 and a gate of 150,000 dollars are anticipated for the return bout between Henry Armstrong and Lou Ambers for the world’s light-weight boxing championship at the Yankee Stadium to-morrow. Armstrong is the favourite. A controversy threatens if Ambers wins, because Ambers is also at the weight for the wel-ter-weight title which Armstrong bolds. Ambers’ supporters say lie would be within his rights to claim the both titles. Armstrong has announced that lie plans to enter the middle-weight class. His ambition is to hold four world titles, the feather, light-weight, middle-Weight and welter-weight—and then to abdicate them.
