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.

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

than any other place when the
Chicago Cubs acted like any

ishing them off 5-1 before 29.

the Brooks with four hits last

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

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

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

Joe Won't
Say When
POMPTON LAKES, N. 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."
