Description: Hnry Armstrong, right, is shown administering a severe beating to Baby Arizmendi to win the world's featherweight crown last night at Wrigley Field. Armstrong won decisively after badly battering the Mexican champion. Depite his superiority, Armstrong was unable to put the Baby down for the long count of 10. Arizmendi holds two previous decisions over Armstrong, but the Negro boy reversed the award in no uncertain terms last night. Photo dated: August 5, 1936.
