"Gene (Ace) Armstrong last night decisively outpointed Charley Joseph of New Orleans, at St. Nicholas Arena. Their paths crossed for the first time in the telecast 10 rounder at St. Nick's. The rangy Armstrong from Elizabeth, N.J., unbeaten as a pro, chalked up his 14th straight victory. Joseph, who is ranked as the No. 9 middleweight contender, suffered his 8th loss against 41 wins. A fast start for Armstrong and a sluggish first half by Joseph proved the difference in the spirited contest. Armstrong scored consistently with right-left and right-left-right combinations." -Associated Press
