Construction Underway At Yankee Stadium for Louis - Conn Title Go New York, Jan. 17 (U.PJ Construction of facilities for packing up to 113,000 fans into Yankee stadium began today in Promoter Mike Jacobs' lumber mill, less than 24 hours after he announced that Joe Louis and Billy Conn would battle for the heavyweight title at the ball park next June 19. No Time Lost Lumberman Jacobs lost no time in getting crews of work men Into action building port able ramps which will be used not only at Yankee stadium, but at the Polo Grounds for three outdoor title fights there and at Los Angeles. Plans are in the making to stage an outdoor championship bout there next winter, probably at tne nuge Olympia stadium where the 1932 Olympic games were held. Promoter Jacobs said he had announced the site of the Conn Louis return bout sooner than expected in order to allow all possible time for completion of arrangements and so that out of town fans could make plans to attend. 65.000 Folding Seats "Uncle Mike" said he had 65, 000 folding seats in a warehouse in New Jersey and that he would try to get as many of them into Yankee stadium as possible for the fight. He estimated that about 40,000 portable seats could be used In addition to the 73.000 grandstand and bleacher seats. The ramps will be stored be tween fights and can be shipped to any major city in the country Jacobs said, indicating that he planned to put on outdoor shows in other sections and that exist ing facilities in most of them would not be sufficient to house the crowds he expected.

WORD BATTLE OF PRO GRID LOOPS IS TAKING SHAPE New York, Jan. 17 (U.R) National league football offic ials returned home from their, week .. long conference today while a word battle threatened between their new commission er, Bert Bell, and the commis sioner of the rival all-American circuit, Jim Crowley. Crowley started it by saying that Bell, who was named com missioner of the National league last Friday, had ap proached him only a month ago regarding establishment of an all-America franchise in Philadelphia. Bell, owner of the Pittsburgh Steelers, and former owner and coach of the Phila delphia Eagles, reportedly had a 10-year option on Philadel phia's Shibe Park as a playing site. Bell, reached by the United Press at Philadelphia, said he had discussed the matter with Crowley there, but not at Bell's invitation. Bell did not indicate that he would be connected with the projected Philadelphia all America club himself. He said Crowley told him that Gene Mori, head of the garden state race track in Camden, N. J., would be in to see him later. When Mori came, five days later, Bell said he told him then that "in the best interests of professional football, as long as there is a National league team in Philadelphia, we can not let the all-America Into Shibe Park."
