Pack Believes Bosox Eliding Toward Slump By The Associated Press Looking through powerful field glasses from what may be laughingly called contending positions in the American league pennant race, the ever-hopeful New York Yankees and Detroit Tigers today believed they detected signs of a slump by the runaway Boston Red Sox. The almost-out-of-sight second and third placers, trailing the front running Red Sox by nine and 12 games respectively, took heart last night when Boston suffered a 9-5 lacing by the Chicago White Sox for its second straight setback. ' New York and Detroit both won yesterday, the Yankees rout ing the St. Louis Browns under the lights, 6-1. and the Tigers humbling Washington. 7-2, in a Wise Dough Sees Conn By Lasting By StD FEDER NEW YORK, June 15 W -The boys in the Broadway book making set, wiggling their pinkies over their morning cof fee and blintzes, talk of nothing but the big fight these days, and right now they're as sur prised as Broadway bookies ever got over how much of the smart money likes Billy Conn to dethrone Joe Louis. They tell you that from a betting point of view, there isn't much "action" yet on Wednesday's fight although it will probably pick up through the last three days but what business there is shows the gen eral public is putting its faith and its fortunes in Louis, while a lot of the folks who own the "cagy" dollars are sending it in on Billy. This isn't unanimous, naturally, because there are re ports of a single bet of as much as $30,000 on Joe and that much money has to be "smart." As a result, the price against the Pittsburgh pretty boy has been pared down considerably from its original 3 to 1, and a whole new line has been chalked up on the slate, start ing with odds of $11.50 for every $5 you put up if you like Conn, and $5 for every $12.50 you invest if you're investing in Joe. Here is the rest of the slate: Louis by a knockout 2 to 5. . Louis by a knockout in one round 8 to 1. Conn to win decision, if fight lasts 15 rounds 5 to 8. . Conn to win by a knockout take 5H to one, if you think he can; lay 64 to one if you think he can't. . These prices have all been quoted on bets that actually have been made with the books on this fight. And if you're looking for more daffy ones, you can probably find a few others, like whether Louis gets the east or west corner of the ring, whether Billy wears the black or the purple trunks, and whether the hot dog you buy after the third round will come with or without "the pickle in the middle with the mustard on top." One bookmaker pointed out that the charitable gambling guys who will gladly give you a piano if you carry it out in your bare hands have sudden ly realized there is no "past performance" chart on this clambake. And gamblers are great hands for looking- over the record. The thought has struck them that both Billy and the Bomber last went to the post five years ago, so their performances mean less than their auto license numbers. Four Team League Opens Play June 21 BEND, June 15 tJP) A four team Central Oregon Baseball league, which has scheduled night games on the Prineville field, will open its season June 21.

It was the first time in a month that Joe Cronin's gang busters had dropped two in a row and only the third time it happened all season. The skidding Brooklyn Dodg ers found home no different than any other place when the Chicago Cubs acted like any thing but polite guests by pol ishing them off 5-1 before 29. 642 saddened faithfuls who jammed Ebbcts' field to wel come back their deflated dar lings. Proving that he is just as effective under the lights as in broad daylight, 37-year-old Claude Passeau, who blanked the Brooks with four hits last week in Chicago, limited them to give this time in registering his sixth victory. Margin Slashed The defeat cut the Dodgers' first place National league lead to one and a half games over the idle St. Louis Cardinals and to three over the third place Cubs. With Johnny Sain matching his masterful five-hit pitching with some lusty clouting, the Boston Braves defeated the Cin cinnati Reds 4-1 under the Braves' field arc lights as 25,742 spectators glowed. In winning the Braves avenged a recent four-hit shutout inflicted on them in Cincinnati by Ewell Blackwell. who started for the Reds. Sain himself started a three-run third inning with the first of his two singles. Cleveland Downed Relief Pitcher Lum Harris won his game when he stroked a single with the bases full in the 13th inning to enable the Phila delphia Athletics to down the Cleveland Indiaas 5-3 in a noc turnal contest. Sam Chapman's seventh home run with one in the sixth put the Athletics back in the game. Rain washed out scheduled contests between the New York Giants and St. Louis Cardinals as well as the Philadelphia Phillies and Pittsburgh Pirates.

J., June 15 tP) Having pounded his ear almost continuously for 24 hours, during which the hired help around his camp trod very lightly, Joe Louis be stirred himself today and pre pared to engage in his final three training sessions for next Wednesday's title defense at Yankee Stadium. There was nothing in the quality of Joe's slumber through yesterday's daylight hours to in dicate he was worried over the outcome of his second meeting with Billy Conn. It was a deep, peaceful sleep he enjoyed under the rain-spattered eaves of the old house i n which George Washington is reputed to have rested. Only once did Joe rouse him self for any length of time, and that was to say hello to Jackie Robinson, the slugging negro second baseman of the Montreal Royals, who bids fair to be the next athletic hero of his race. "How many rounds will it take, Joe?" Jackie asked, hav ing been egged on by the corps of correspondents attached to the champion's camp. "That's what I wish I knew, Jackie," replied the champ, stroking a two-day's growth of whiskers. This wasn't anything new. "Okay, fellows, I tried," grin ned Robinson. Later, under persuasive ques tioning, Joe admitted he never felt better, or sleepier. "Honest, I think I'm in the best condition of my life," he said seriously. "I've had the best set of sparring partners I ever had. Least, I've got the most out of them. They're good boys and they've made me sharp."

SSCPQDOBTO Links Talent Clustered Going In USGA Stretch CLEVELAND. June 15 (yPV The highly touted talent was clustered for a photo finish to day as 57 professionals and sev en amateurs started down tlie decisive 36-hole stretch leading to the USGA open champion ship's gold and glory. So closely packed were the leaders at the end of the first two par-busting 18-hole rounds that a playoff for the crown duplicating the 1940 finish here loomed as a distinct possibility. The qualifying pace which cut the big field to the low 60 and ties was so hot that eight for mer champions and a flock of Loggers Next On Schedule The McCloud Loggers will come to town tomorrow to take on the Klamath Sons in their own ball field, Recreation park, in a Northern California league game scheduled to start at 1:30, This is the second home game of the season for the Sons, who were defeated 8 to 4 by Weed last Sunday before an overflow crowd at the ball park.
