J. In his 46-year career Announcer Humphreys estimated that his huge, raucous, indefatigable voice had been heard by 100,000,000 spectators at New York prize fights, theatres, rodeos, ball games, carnivals, races, funerals. He scorned loudspeakers, earned $25 for ordinary and $100 for championship fights, invented a system of hand-wavings to show a fighter's exact weight, made a prizefight crowd of 40,000 stand in silence while he improvised a prayer the night Lindbergh was flying toward Paris. In 1933, when he awoke one night to find himself alone and paralyzed as a result of his first stroke of apoplexy, Announcer Humphreys achieved his masterpiece. He announced his own predicament. After he had shouted for five hours, aid came from his neighbors.
