LESNEVICH LOSES
GETTITLEANYWAY
Detroit. June 6 (T) Cut
Lesnevich, a plodding pugilist
from Cliffslde Park. N. J., lost
hit chance to win the light
heavyweight boxing champion
hip of the world last night but
he woke up today with the
knowledge that the title will
probably be his within a few
days.
Billy Conn, the champion re
built the blasted hopes of Lesne
vich a few minutes after receiv
lug the decision in a 13-round
defense of his crown.
Lesnevich was in a shower
cooling his tired body when
Conn walked in.
"It was a nice fight, Billy,'
said Gus. "I have no alibi."
"Don't feel bad," answered
Conn, "because the champion
ship will be yours in a few days
This fight convinced me I can't
take off weight any more and
from now on I'm a heavyweight
You can beat the other light
heavies." Conn, a notoriously slow
starter, appeared to disadvan
tage In the early rounds and
then closed in whirlwind style.
Hutcheson. southpaw, and Bob
Wiltshire are expected to pitch
for the fourth-place Athletics.
The Craters, deadlocked with
Albany for the league leader
ship, will present the same line
up as that which trimmed Bend
in a two-game series here last
week-end. It is Hawkins,
catcher; Patterson, . first base;
Cook, second; McDonald, short;
McLean, third; Peterson, left;
Wray, center and Kerr, right.
The team will work out Fri
day at 8 p. m. at the fairgrounds
field.
Chicago, June 6. (J-John
ny Paychek at 2) is through
with the ring.
He decided today to hang up
his boxing gloves following his
tenth round knockout in the
Coliseum last night at the hands
of Altus Allen, a 19-year-old
Chicago Negro heavyweighl
just a year out of Golden
Gloves amateur competition.
Paychek said he has lost all
desire for boxing;; that since
Joe Louis knocked him out In
four punches nine weeks ago,
his co-ordination has been impaired.
From the first punch, when
Allen's right cut Paychek's left
ear, the crowd of 4.000 saw a
savage fight. There was no
question of Allen's superiority.
Allen, at 179V4, was out
weighed 9's pounds.

A career we would pass up
without regret, had we the
choice of becoming an active
participant in any known field
of professional sport, is that of
wheeling one of those fire-spitting,
speed-burning midget auto
racers around a quarter-mile
terra firma oval.
In our humble opinion, there
are more healthful ways to
make a living. Like pro football
or ice hockey, or even looking
Joseph Louis in the eye inside
a hemp enclosure. We would
gladly accept any one of those
three alternatives rather than
strap ourselves in what the
trade terms a "doodle-bug" and
go whirling at some 70 miles
an hour around a track that
isn't banked on the bends, and
with othei "doodle bugs" buzz
ing like mad hornets to the
right and left of you, also to
the front and rear.
football, ice hockey, lacrosse
and boxing, are generally con
sidered "dangerous" sports, and
we don't deny it in the least.
But from the casualty lists com
ing to light of late it looks
rather like the above mention
ed endeavors are more or less
tame compared to the business
of herding midget gas-buggies
toward the checkered banner.
In the last races held here,
on May 14, Rastus Greene, the
cullud pilot from the deep
south, busted through that nice
green fence at the new fair
grounds baseball park and
wound up in the hospital with
his jaw, teeth and face bashed
