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

the way, but ht looked good
doing it.
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.

that "there will be nothing done
on our part to hinder the success
of Robinson or any other negro
ball player."

Letter

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.
ARREST JAPS ACCUSED
OF TORTURE, MURDERS
Shanghai, Oct. 30 (U.R) The

The arrested Japanese soldtera

Comparatively few people
know of the little falls where
a creek cascades down the ridge
and into the river.' 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. I knew the falls would
go arcing out over the pool. I
