$100 Top Louis-Conn Tariff
NEW YORK, April 2 (A?) The ballyhoo wheels started
revolving in earnest today for the most fabulous fight in
boxing history the return heavyweight title bout between
Champion Joe Louis and Billy Conn at the Yankee stadium
' on June 19.
Challenger Billy, the-Pittsburgh dandy, looking in fine
shape at 190 pounds, was scheduled to-shove-off to his per-.
' manent training headquarters at Greenwood Lakes, N. J.,
, 24 hours after Promoter Mike Jacobs had fixed a top price
' oi $100 for ringside seats, the highest ever charged officially
for a fight.
This is 300 per cent more than the $25 top for the first
- Louis-Conn shindig at the Polo Grounds in 1941 and 100
per cent more than the $50 top charged for Tex Rickard's
famous fights involving Jack Dempsey in the "golden twen
ties" era.
Announcement of the $100 tariff, at which Jacobs previ
ously had hinted, plus a scale of $50. $30, $20 and $10 for
less advantageous seats in the 100,000-capacity stadium, as
sured a record gross gate of $3,000,000 or better for the long '
" anticipated return go.
The present gate record is the $2,658,660 paid by 104.943
spectators for the second Dempsey-Gene Tunney scrap in
Chicago in September, 1927.
Conn, knocked out in the 13th round in his first chance
at the title, will merely strike a few poses for newspaper
photographers when he arrives at Greenwood Lakes today.
He plans to start serious training tomorrow.
. Louis, meantime, is working out at West Baden, Ind..
where he has been since March 1. He will switch later to
Pompton Lakes; N. J.

Mex Plans

For Majors
Posqucl Declares
More Big Leaguers
On Their Woy South
MEXICO CITY, April 2 VP)
Mexico League President Jorge
Pnsquel believes lie has another
little bombshell in the making
fnr (hp mnlnr leagues.
Quite pleased over his ac
quisition of Mickey Owen, Vern
Stephens and three New York
Giants' players in the past few
davs, the dapper baseball mag
nate declared yesterday that
"two or three other" big
leaguers soon will be playing in
his circuit.
He declined to name them but
said they should be here next
week.
With his eight clubs already
stocked with 17 former major
leaguers, Pasquel indicated that
he soon will bring an end to his
raiding for the current season,
Pasquel, who with his four
brothers, dominates the loop
which has no ties with organ
ized baseball, said, however,
that he already is angling for the
1947 season.
The Mexico league presently
limits each of its eight teams to
eight foreign players but with
the recent additions and the few
more expected shortly it was be
lieved that the ceiling would be
raised. Besides the Americans,
the circuit has many diamond
luminaries from Cuba, Salvador,
Panama and other Latin Ameri
can countries.
Pasquel didn't disclose the
salaries he was going to pay
Owen or the Giants' trio First
Baseman Roy Zimmerman, Sec
ond Baseman George Hausmann
and Pitcher Sal Maglie but the
ballplayers have revealed some
of the terms.
Branch Rickey, president of
the Brooklyn Dodgers, said at
Daytona Beach, Fla., that Owen
wrote him he was going to get a
cash bonus of $12,500 for sign
ing his five-year contract.
The former Giants said they
are to get $5000 bonuses plus
5i3,ouo a year.
One Bright Spot
In Dodger Lineup
DAYTONA BEACH. Fla.
April 2 (P) With Mickey Owen
gone to the Mexico league and
six important members of the
squad ailing, the only bright note
in- the camp of the Brooklyn
Dodgers is the flashy twirling
being exhibited by Hal Gregg.
The, fast-balling righthander
pitched a two-hitter in seven in
nings yesterday against Jersey
City's Giants, faced only 21 bat
ters and fanned seven. The side
line stars are Pete Reiser, Billy
Herman, Cookie Lavagetto, Don
Pudget, Augie Galan and Dixie
Walker.

Klimuith's one romnlijIiiK
cluuico to net Into the l
picture tills summer rests wim
the Aineilnm Legion now ns Iho
eltv council last nlf.ht In eiiil
passed tlio Initiative to Iy'
Roycroft and the veterans or
ganization. The $2500 snug, the amount
estimated us needed to renovate
Recreation field for play this
year, is Just mure money Hum
'the city wants to put out tor n
temporary ball diamond. II"'
councllmen could see tour or five
hundred dollars but not $2,100.
APPineiitly, from small tullt
around the council table, the
council has a loiig ranKe spoils
and recreation program In mlml
but that program hasn't gone
much further than the talking
stage.
Rovcroft was asked to contact
Legion leaders to see whether
that organization would lo In
terested in taking over Recrea
tion field, pay for the repairs
and improvements, and operate
the ball park this summer. He
is to put the proposal before the
Legion tonight.
Mayor Ed Oslendorf said last
night that he thinks a permanent
field should be built at Veterans
Memorial park, some time in the
future. Veterans Memorial park
is still more of a theory than an
actuality.
Roycroft asked the council If
the city could be expected to put
up the money to get Recreation
field in shape for this summer,
or would the Legion have to do
it, and if the Legion did take
over the field would it have com
plete control without city inter
ference and, if so, for how long?
The only part of the question
answered was an inference that
the city does not intend to spend
any $2500 on the field. j
