Who Won

>Boxer Henry Armstrong, world's welterweight and lightweight champion: a 15-round match in defense of his welterweight title; lambasting the challenger, Britain's Welterweight Champion Ernie Roderick, who had won 23 previous fights in a row; before 5,000 howling Britons, some of whom paid ten guineas (about $50) for their ringside seats; at Harringay Arena, London. For his performance, Champion Armstrong, undefeated in 46 fights, received -L-8,000 ($40,000), largest purse in British boxing history.

> The seventh-place (American League) Detroit Tigers, with bespectacled Rookie Paul Trout pitching: a baseball game (6-to-1) against the-tip-top New York Yankees: handing the World Champion Yankees their first defeat in 13 games, ending the longest winning streak of the season; at Yankee Stadium, The Bronx. By week's end, the Cincinnati Reds, leaders in the National League pennant race, had also spun a string of twelve victories in a row, were finally defeated by the St. Louis Cardinals.

> Alexander Kyle, 32-year-old Scot: the British Amateur Golf Championship; defeating Welshman Anthony Duncan, 2 & i, in the final; at Holyake, England. Of the five U. S. entrants--Defending Champion Charlie Yates, famed Tennist Ellsworth Vines, Connecticut Socialite Dick Chapman, "Trailer" Bill Holt of Syracuse and one Ned Phillips of Philadelphia--"Trailer" Bill Holt lasted longest (semifinal).

> The University of Southern California: the 63rd annual Intercollegiate A. A. A. A. track meet; for the ninth time in 13 attempts ; making the teams of 29 rival colleges look like Sunday School picnickers; with a total of 711/2 points, highest score in the history of the meet; at Randall's Island, N. Y. Brightest individual star, however, was Pitt's long-striding Negro Johnny Woodruff, who won both the quarter-mile and half-mile for the third year in a row, a feat no one had accomplished since 1884.
