HUSKIES9 COACH By Jack Sords
By RON GEMMELL
If Joseph Barrow Louis,
known auite widely as the hea
vyweight boxing champion of
the world ( although I don't
know why he should want to in
clude a lot of the current globe)
was ever b a d 1 y hurt in his
championship chase of nimble
Billy Conn, the pictures 01 tne
fight do not show it
At least these eyes of mine
couldn't detect a single Instant

In control of his senses.
1 The film, the best fight picture
I' ever saw, shows most distinctly
that Louis was stung plenty pert
In the 12th round, all right, but
other than to cause him to back
'up rather than plod in as he had
been doing throughout the fight,
the blows weren't evidently dam
a urine.
In fact, Louis at the close of the
12th was once more carrying the
fight to Billy the Kid with no lit
tle fistic authority. Had he been
hurt as badly as most fight writers
said, could he have recovered so
quickly? Would he not have tried
to hold on and weather tne rouna:
The pictures reveal It was
Conn, not Louis, who started to
ward the wrong corner at the
end of the 12th. Louis stalked
to his corner with the same
deadpan expression, with . the
same springy step and, appar
ently, as unhurt as he had been
In any of the previous rounds.
O
Referee Right
Not for an instant is yours sin
cerely attempting to take any cre
dit from Conn, whom the pictures
reveal did put up a whale of
battle and for whom the judges
and referee unanimously scored a
win up to the 13th round. It's Just
that I couldn't see where Joe was
ever damaged as much as the
.written reports would have us be
lieve.
Furthermore, the film as 1
"saw it revealed that many of
those punches Conn threw in
the third, fourth, sixth, seventh,
eighth, ninth, 10th and 11th
rounds hit nothing: more than
Louis's cloves or arms. Not all
of them, no but a larger per
centage than the blow-by-blow
radio version and the written
accounts suiea.
Most of the blows Conn con
nected with were hooks, both left
and right Any fighter will tell
you he'd rather be clipped with a
half dozen hooks than one straight
jolt that carries the weight of a
man behind it Hooks hurt, yes,
but they don't jar like the short,
straight sock or the uppercut with
' which Louis hit Conn in the 13th'.
As for those accusations that
Conn was given a short count
In the 13th, or that the referee
should have let him continue,
still them, please. The film
shows that Conn got up at the
count of 10, all right, but that .
he was standing there with his
arms at his sides and his mouth
open. lie was a wide-open tar-

Salem Golfers Take Decisive
Victory From Corvallis
Most decisive victory turned in by a Salem Golf club inter
city match team over major opposition in recent years was scored
Sunday against a Corv allis Country club team weakened, as may
be the nazis, by the necessity for "fighting on two fronts." Eight
of Corvallis most gifted "divoteers were at Eugene participating
in the Wilamette valley medal play tournament.

Still Lack Punch
If our Senators are to make a
bid for a first division berth,, -it'll
have to be at the expense of the
Western International's two top
clubs this week. They take on the
Yakimas, who spanked Spokane
out of the loop lead by bagging a
twin bill Sunday, in a four-game
session through Thursday, and
then are hosts to Spokane Friday,
Saturday and Sunday.
- Griffiths' gang is still sorely
m need of plate punch. Unless
it is provided by big Ed Cole
man, when and If he returns to
the team, or unless Bates, Berg-
strom, Llghtner and Adams be
gin to hit around 50 points high
er apiece, the chances for a first
division finish are as remote as
a seat in the US senate for Hit
ler. It was well-known and well-advertised
at season's beginning that
our Solons would be ,the weakest
offensive outfit in the circuit, but
no one figured they'd be as impo
tent as they have been so far.
There was every reason to believe
that Bergstrom, Petersen, Light
ner and Bates would bat up
around the .300 mark. None of
thenvhas been that high 'since the
first week of the season. Therein
lies the difference between their
current position, a fight for fourth
place with Tacoma, and a second
or third place spot
Page Woolens, no longer a dark
horse entry, stretched their City
softball league wins to five
straight as they whipped Paper
Office 8 to 2 Friday night at
Sweetland field..
Other wihners included Square
Deal, Keith Brown and the Leslie
girls.
Joe . Herberger s pine lashed
out the fewest hits of their un
defeated season by picking up
but six bingles, but Art Siebens
scattered the five Paper blows
safely.
Keith Brown's moved into a tie
with Salem Box at four wins and
one defeat when they trounced
Blue Lake 3 to 2 in an Industrial
league thriller. Marv Ritchie
smacked - out a long home run
which bounced into the center
field stands.
Square Deal, last year's
champs, staved off a last inning
rally to defeat Golden Pheas

the longest homer of the sea
son. The ball soared up against

bounced back to the shortstop.

somes' scores were missing for the
reason that the luncheon follow
ing the match was held, contrary
to custom, in the grove back of
the eighth green and some of the
players stopped there without bo
thering to send their cards to the
clubhouse. A
A picnic luncheon was necessi

the clubhouse but both Salem and
Corvallis players expressed their
enjoyment of the arrangement

scored the maximum of three
points.

PORTLAND, June 23.-(Special)-Ho-hurri--these class AA
Coast league baseball clubs are just plain duck soup for our
class B Western International league Senators.
Yep, our Legislators whipped the Beavers here Monday
night just like they bested the San Diego Padres and San Fran
cisco- Seals previously this season. They did it 7 to 5, with Eddie
Adams hammering a two run homer over the 351-feet left field
barrier to put 'em ahead 5-4 in the seventh, and with Bob Berg
strom doubling two more across
in the eighth to make it secure.
Some 1500 saw the class B'ers
best the class AA'ers, no few of
them capital city fans.
The Bevos Jumped to a two
run lead in the second off rigid
Roy Helser who hasn't 'lost a
game yet this season, but our
lads lammed right back with a
pair in the third as Adams dou
bled and Helser singled home a
ran each.
They went one up on the Bevos
in the fourth when the Little
Skipper doubled home Antelope
Al Lightner, who had singled in
front, but Portland again tied it
up in their half when Ted Nor
bert busted one over the leftfield
walL
The Bevos got a single run ad
vantage in the sixth off young
Chet Simpson, the 17-year-old
rookie who set down the Seals.
Simpson, who relieved Helser,
walked Reich and Gill hit a hard
ball back at him that bounced
against his kneecap, forcing him
to retire, but not before he re
covered the ball and tossed out
the huge Mr. Gill.
Frankie Dierickx, who relieved
Simpson, was greeted by Nor
bert's single that drove in Reich
and nut the class AA boys in
front.
Griffiths, who hit Monday
night's coast league pitching
like he owned it singled with
one away in the seventh and
Eddie Adams picked on the
first pitch served to him by Joe
Gonzales, driving it out of the
park and Griffiths across the
plate in front of him.

sending Petersen and Lightner,
both of whom had singled, across
with the game clinchers.
Dierickx, who received credit
for the win, allowed the Beavers
one tally in the eighth on a walk
to Reich and consecutive singles
to Gill and Norbert, and was in
trouble in the ninth until the Lit
tle Skipper pulled him out with a
lightning double play on Reich's
ground smash.
Adams, Griffiths .and Light
ner combined to get six of the
11 blows the Solons fathered
off Gonzales. Each got two,
with Adams getting a double
to go with his homer and ac
counting for three runs. It
looked like Eddie was oat to
show Schefter & Co., who ped
dled him down the river in a
straight trade for Eddie Wil
son, whom they subsequently
released. .
The Bevos got but four blows
off Helser in five innings, none
off Simpson in his one-third
frame and but two off Dierickx.
Ted Norbert gave our Solons'
chuckers the most trouble, whack
ing a homer and two singles in
three trips that accounted for
three of the five Bevo markers.

their Wenatchee Chiefs out of a

ball game here Monday night.
Alex Weldon, ace Wenatchee
hurler, was spiked In the third
inning but his relief man, Al Ra
mondi, did alright until the sixth
and seventh innings when eight
Vancouver hits and four Wenat
chee errors allowed 12 Cap scores
in the two frames.

NEW ; YORK, June 23.-(iip)-A
wisp of a man 'wandered discon
solately about the ringside the
the Polo Grounds long after the
lights had been turned down and
the thousands of . fight fans had
drifted into the night babbling of
Billy Conn's courage and Joe Lou
is' narrow escape and you knew
without asking just what was
buzzing around in .Ray Carlen's
mind. , :
He was afraid the great show
ing made by Billy Coon vjmld
mean another sidetrack for his
big boxcar, Lou NovaL and that
come September Nova would
hoist his sturdy body through
the ropes to be introduced in
Harry Balogh's inimitable man
ner as " leading contender who
needs no introduction,'" while
Bill Cona waits in the corner
opposite Louis for the beU to
ring. .
1 Nova : has ; been on more side
Carlen knows enough about the '
workings of the fight game to
know this his boy promptly would
be shunted onto another, no mat
ter how worthy his claim or how
good his chance of winning, if a
larger gate were in prospect for
a Conn-Louis encore. Boxing is
a sport, but that fact can't inter
fere with business. ;
Carlen was even more perturb
ed than usual, for, from what he
had just seen, he was convinced
that Nova could take Louis in one
gulp. .
, "A soft touch," Carlen said
with finality. -If Nova doesn't
get the fall fight for the title
it will be a crime."
"Carlen can look at things more
calmly now, for yesterday Promoters-Mike
Jacobs decided to
string along with the champion's
managers, who demanded a 'fresh
opponent for the September fight,
and signed Nova for a well-earn
ed title shot? v', : : 'X: ".

kid from Tampa named Tommy IBobo, 202, slugging Pittsburgh

We can't quite agree on Louis (six times before the referee halt
being a soft touch. He wouldn't ted their scheduled ten round bout
be a soft touch for anybody with-fin the fourth stanza and gave
out a gun, and if Nova shares Bobo a technical knockout dec!

Like Conn, he Is a little too
cocky for his own good, but he
has a more rugged physique to
back it up. He hasn't Conn"s
speed. Nobody else has. But speed
wasn't enough to win for Conn.
It's going to take a puncher to
beat Louis. . That's where Nova
comes in.
