rotns MEDroRP matl-ihibbwb TtT, Oet 80, 141 Conn Looks Surprisingly Good In Exhibition Bout Br Jack Ktorni Written for the United Press Cleveland, O., Oct. 30 (U.PJ Billy Conn surprised me last night. He looked so much better than I had expected, after his long service In the army. Al though I always string with the champion, I'll say right now that we may have a new world heavy weight title-holder next June, if present appearances count for anything. Conn's eagerness, confidence and speed reminded me of Jack Dcmpsey when he was training for the Jess Willard fight in To ledo. He weighs about the same Dempsey did at that time about 192 and will go into the ring against Joe Louis around 182 to 183 pounds. Speed Retained It's true that an exhibition Is a lot different from a real fight, but you can tell plenty about a man in an exhibition. I watched Conn closely during his three easy rounds with a colored puncher named Benrcat Jones from Pittsburgh. Of course, Billy toyed with the colored lad all MEDFORD NEON CO.

He hasn't lost any of his speed, although he has gained in weight and strength, things that are needed for any heavyweight fighter. Tha extra weight Billy is carrying should help make him a more dangerous opponent than in his first fight with Louis. Legs Hare Spring You could see some stomach on Conn, but not enough to wor ry Manager Johnny Ray. But he looked good in action. He was fast, and his legs seemed to have all the spring of old. I couldn't tell much about his punching, because he didn't seem to be trying to hit hard. However, the added weight should give more authority to his punches. His timing was a little off, naturally. Once he missed a left hook and mcnt to his knees. But he Jump ed up laughing, then moved around, throwing rights and lefts like the Conn of old. Conn still has his speed and his legs and more poundage. He is eager and confident, and two years younger than Louis. Be cause of Louis' age, the cham pion la bound to have been af fected more by his years in the army than Conn was. I wouldn't be a bit surprised if Conn takes the title In June. He looks sur prisingly good.

"Mr. Rickey said the ne;jro leagues were a racket," Martin said, "but we have never gone out and signed players without giving the owners soma con sideration. "The negro American league wishes to join the thousands in congratulating Robinson for his step forward as well as Mr. Rickey for the stand he has taken In paving the way for negroes' advancement In baseball," Mar tin said." . . , We do feel, how ever, that Mr. Rickey is too big not to compensate the Monarchs for Jackie Robinson."

The Middies, who turned back a stubborn Penn eleven 14 to 7, in the final six minutes last week, were rated at 31 points.

Purdue, in second a week ago, was tied for 11th after losing to Northwestern with Washington, surprise victor over Southern California. Olive Barber's Letter mm creased flow: knew that more driftwood would be added to the dam forming the pool and that the place would have a wilder, different beauty. Yet common sense told me that In winter, fog and spray would curtain the falls, giving a privacy to its tem pestuous mood which I might not penetrate. Oh, it Is well for a stodgy, farm-bound matron to do a bit of adventuring. Winter eve nings, beside the fire in a rock ing chair, as she reads a tale of pioneering into unknown hills and forests, she can say to her self, "I know what it was like the hills, the tumbling stream, the roar of the cataract, for I was there." And then remem bering her hunger and the In dian lettuce, she will get up and make herself a sandwich. Nice goin, rocking-chair adventuring.

This, be cause the creek is hard to fol low, choked as it is with the de bris of long ago logging. Too, the way is, at times, steep and with many boulders and no few gulches making rugged inter ference. Only the well shod and sure-footed are tempted into fol lowing it into the hills. Yet this I attempted; though , not sure-footed, I was well shod; ( also persistent. Following the little creek, I went through such spots of wild beauty as amazed me, used as I am to this beauty-1 surfeited part of the coast. Once j I came to a bit of pasture land i through which the little creek! moved so placidly, it was hard j to realize that same water would j later froth through boulders, at times disappear With a full-sized J roar into some debris-covered cauldron of its own making. j At some places In the little creek, the water would seem to j come to rest for a moment In deep pools and here trout flirted about, colorful, brittle, tempting. At one of these pools, cliffs rose high and unsurmountable on cither side. One stood in the path of the creek, too and over this the water tumbled in a per fect fury of impatience to get on to the river, to the sea. And going up the smooth, perpendi cular face of the cliff as easily as I would walk across a room, a water ouzel made hippety-hop searcn ior lis meal. Long before I reached the falls I had heard its roar. Even so, I was unprepared for Its size and beauty as I parted the final bar-1 ncade of brush and got a full ! view of it. I couldn't bear to leave and, having taken no' lunch, I munched Indian lettuce and played about with the idea ! of sending for blankets and food and Just staying on and on. i I wanted to stay and see it In , winter.
