DRACTICALLY no fight in ring history drew such unanimous as the recent Ray Robinson-- Henry Armstrong set-t- o in Mad-ison Square Garden. The once-grea- t Armstrong didn't have a thing. Most observers that agreed the match was a travesty on sport The clients who paid $16.50 lor a ringside seat figured the fight wasn't worth even the pdmittance taxes. The boys who paid $2.50 for seats were just as loud in express-in- g their disapproval. It was a sad evening for many fight followers who had seen "Ham-meri- n' Henry" in his prime. In our opinion, Armstrong was one of the greatest fighters, pound for pound. 1 V r 1 HENRY ARMSTRONG of all time. He was the only man in history ever to wear three divi-sional crowns simultaneously. Robinson won the fight just as he pleased but he made it as easy for Armstrong as possible. And senti-ment may have entered the picture to some degree. The night of Octo-ber 4, 1940, when Armstrong lost his welterweight crown to Fritzie Zivic, Robinson was on the same card, making his professional debut. It was said that Ray broke down and cried when Henry lost his title, so much did he idolize the dethroned champ. Brisk Workout But sentiment ends with the open-ing gong. Robinson did little more than enjoy a brisk workout at the expense of the veteran. He handled Armstrong with a minimum of effort. He merely pecked away at his opponent, riddling him with an endless array of long lefts to the head. Once in a while Robinson would shoot a right-han- d punch to the head. Some of these blows landed, albeit with little force. But most of them went wide of their mark and by such margins that several critics were moved to observe that Ray was of no mind to punish the unduly. The New York press was rather bitter about the match. One com-mentator noted that "... we must exercise restraint and report that the thing was a priceless stinker, priced at $16.50 ringside and $2.50 for the cheap seats. The boys on the roof were robbed. Even if they got in on a pass." Another writer ex-pressed the opinion that Robinson was a lovable character to let Henry stay. Immediately after the fight Henry announced his plans for retirement. This wasn't a particularly startling pronouncement because Henry has said over and over again that he would retire. But like Sarah Bern-hard- t, he repeatedly postponed the day. He would hang up his gloves one day, then change his mind the next. Changed Plans To show that he was In the groove, Henry followed up his retirement announcement with word that he had reconsidered his decision to depart forever from the game. He said that he had decided to go through with his scheduled match with Slugger White of Balti-more. Sam Lampe, White's manager, failed to agree. "I positively will not let White fight a blind man, and that is Just what Armstrong is," Lampe declared. "Furthermore, I don't believe a boxing commission in the country would pass Henry as fit for the ring." This time, though, Henry had some sort of a reason for reversing his decision. Joe Lynch, promoter of the Armstrong-Whit- e fight, threat-ened court action against Armstrong when he made public his plans to quit the game. It might be more fitting if the paying customers would start court action against Lynch if he attempted to force the fight down their throats.

WHILE making "Sahara" Bruce Bennett met a marine who'll have to be referred to merely as Joe, the marine. Joe was on leave after some tough Guadalcanal fighting, and due soon to return to the South Pacific. The actor told Joe about a Guate-malan machete he'd collected when he was making a Tarzan serial about ten years ago. "That's a little some-thing I'd like to have," said Joe, so Bennett sent it to him. Last week a ll note from Joe said: "My machete is the pride of the outfit I spent two solid weeks sharpening lt.
