Conn is strictly a boxer; even his best friends won't tell him he can bust a pane of glass, and the guy who beats Louis will have to carry something more than a tickle in each mitt. Billy proclaims that his en trance Into the heavyweight di vision will end with him in there against the champion, and win ning, but other fine boxers have thought the same thing and wound up on the seat of their pants . . , John Henry Lewis was one, Bob Pastor was another, and neither, despite their superb defensive ability, could stay the sudden death in Mister Louis' gloved fists. Conn has outgrown the llghihesvyweight class, of which he is the current king, and if he wants to keep on lighting ha will have to meet the heavyweights ... he may develop into a first class heavyweight, probably will, but about all this writer can see for him Is a role of - challenger to the throne . . . we repeat, it will take a heavy-hitting boy, or at least a sharp-hitting and bruising fighter, to whip Louis . . . and Conn Is neither. Joe DiMaggio is preparing to put the lug on the Yankees for $40,000 for a summer's pasttm ing . . . Stan Hack of the Cubs is rumored as the 1940 St. Louis Cardinal thlrd-sacker, and Pitts burg and Brooklyn are reported to be cooking up a big player deal . . . Bill SlUmntV u,hn n,,it Portland to manage the Holly wood club, will draw 10 grand this year ... he has a one-year contract. It cost the University of Ore gon Webfoots about $5000 to swing through the east and mid dle west on their recent basket ball tour, with guarantees and gate percentoges on the trip amounting to $0000, which leaves a nice $4000 profit ... be fore Howard Hobson went to the Eugene school and made casaba things hum, the annual Decem ber deficit was around $400 . . . Oregon has another invitation to appear in Madison Square Garden next season, but Hobby is waiting until he knows what sort of a club he will have before accepting the offer . . . Incident ally, when the Ducks pulled Into New York this yenr, 30 pho tographers met them at Grand Central station. Dick Collum of the Min neapolis Times-Tribune has the following to say about Coast conference hiring of G-Man Aiherton as Its "Judge Lendis": "Signifi cance of the Coast league's move to purify itself It that It is designed to put It In step with the Big Ten. Soon , a virtual partnership will exist, leading o inter-conference games and possibly to an ultimate larumMt in meeting of the football cnampioni in the Bowl." Mack Llllnrd and Rote his big wrestling boys are confident 1940 will show a sharp increase In attendance and thrills over last year, and i.' lhit Monday's enthusiastic turnout was an in dication of the new-year trend they are undoubtedly correct the wrestling industry dicln't'do so well in 1939 in Medford, but the promoter, a dyed-in-the-wool optimist, believes better things are coming . . .

(P) Billy Conn, the Pittsburgh phantomweight, has started on the road he hopes will lead to the heavyweight championship. But like the road to Tipperary, It's going to be a long and winding trail. He has had two bouts with the big boys. Last night he took an easy 12-round decision from Henry Cooper of Brook lyn in Madison Square Garden and last August he scored a technical knockout over Gus Dorazio in Philadelphia. This success has made the light heavyweight champion and his handlers lubilant and they talk now in terms of John ny raycnecK, Lee Savold, Bob Pastor and leave the list hanging on mid-air so a listen er can add on other steps right up tne throne-room. "He'll fight anybody, that kid," murmured Manager John ny Ray in the dressing room after last night's fight. I'm not the matchmaker, so I don't know who'll be next. Maybe we'll take the winner of that Apostoli-Bettina business, but he (Conn) wants those heavy weights. They can't touch him." This was true against Coop er, who was called in on ten days notice to substitute for Steve Dudas and ,n nn m4nh for Conn. Everybody sensed it in advance and a crowd of only 5,658 was on hand, paying a gross gate of $14,400, the smal lest take Conn ever has mus tered at the Garden. Wasco Judge Dies The Dalles.
