Two Shots Fired
Powell and Mrs. Amber walked
Into an adjoining room as detec
tives David E. Higgins and F. E.
Dodson watched from the door
way. Suddenly Powell shouted:
"To hell with it, I'm going to
end it an.

hotel which questioned a $25
check he had submitted.

New York, Nov. 5 IP Billy
Conn, a bitter young man who
has brooded more than two years
over a disgrace of his own mak
ing, was en route back to the
ring wars today In a comeback
which could lead nowhere or to
the heavyweight championship of
the world.
The dragging days since the
night of June 19, 1946, have been
dark ones for the handsome Pitts
burgh Irishman. That was a mo
ment for which he long had wait
ed and he failed miserably and in
gloriously as Joe Louis battered
him to the canvas.
It wasn't the losing which turn
ed Conn from a hero into a bum,
a fugitive from his own friends.
It was the manner in which he
lost. Stark fear was written on
Jiis face as for eight rounds he
ran like a thief from those men
acing fists.
l m puttinu the cue back in
the rack," he told the pitying
crowd in his dressing room that
night through a heartsick smile
of shame. "The kid hasn't got it
anymore. I'm through for good."
Now the scorn which the sports
world aims at a quitter has
changed his mind and on Dec. 10
Conn will climb back through the
ropes for a six round Chicago ex

Both are fortunate in that idle

with a hampering weight as it
did In removing the current Louis

It is Inconceivable that Conn
could come back swiftly enough
to crash into the contending circle
by next summer. Louis will fight
again in June, supposedly against
the winner of the Ezzard Charles
Joe Baksi fight or the Lee Savold
Bruce Woodcock brawl.
And so bad was the taste of
Conn's knockout by Louis that a
third encounter would be a bad
promotional risk.
