Joe, Billy End
Training Grind
NEW YORK, June 18 lP) The long weeks or sweaty, monot-
enous training behind them, Heavyweight Champion Joe Louis
, and his collar-ad challenger, Billy Conn of Pittsburgh, took final
'..light workouts today, just sufficient to keep their red corpuscles
' l'rBofh concluded their boxing yesterday, the big Negro stepping
four rounds against his sparmates and Conn dancing through a
final two. If utter confidence means anything, each of them
" should score a smashing victory tomorrow night before the first
crowd of J 100 ticket-buyers in the history of priie fighting.
mm The two former soldiers, who
"-tnade a sensational scrap in
UJheir other meeting five sum-ea-ncrs
ago, will see each other
-nce before they square off un
ifier the lights at Yankee stadium
im when they appear at Madison
"-Square Garden at 11:30 a. m.
JEST) tomorrow for the official
.wcigh-in.
" Prospects are that Conn, the
21jB-year-old former light heavy
weight king, will balance the
" tiar at around 182 pounds. Louis
J expected to weigh around 206
er 208.
It might be significant that
"Louis, before he began training
for the 22nd defense of his
crown, chose 208 as the weight
to which he expected to scale
l himself down. One hundred and
" forty-four rounds of boxing and
' 466 miles of road work after he
began his grind, the big cham-
pion is precisely where he want
" ed to be.
' Conn and his entourage broke
, their New Jersey camp last
,i night and Billy came into the
city to stay in a friend's apart
" mcnt until the fight He planned
a light workout in a downtown
I gymnasium today. Louis ex-
ected to remain at Pompton
akes until just before the
weigh-in.

Team Match
Is Arranged
Georges Dusette, glorying
in the acquisition of the Pa
cific coast light heavyweight
wrest ing belt, and Martino
Angelo, the man from whom
Dusette lifted the bauble, will
meet again in the armory ring
Thursday night.
This time the match will be
a little different as each will
have a partner in the activity.
Dusette will be paired with
Joe Lynam in a tag team
match against Angelo and his
companion, Paavo Katonen.
Lynam was in Georges'
corner last Thursday night
when he dethroned Martino,
and it was Jumping Joe who
advised Dusette to whack the
Italian groaner up with rabbit
punches rather than to try to
hold him down by force. Ka
tonen acted as second in Mar
tino's corner for the big
match.
After the fight was over
both Lynam and Katonen
were embroiled in the general
squabble which took place
while ring officials were pre
senting the title belt to Du-
j sette.

Oak Lead
Hacked To
Decimals
By The Associated Press
Manager Casey Stengel mend
ed the Oakland Acorns' Infield
fences today with the echo of
a fan howl in his ears becnuse
the pesky San Francisco Seals
had virtually caught up again
in the Pacific Coast Baseball
league.
The Oaklanders held an ad
vantage of three percentage
points over the Seals at the top
of the loop, the San Francisco
club having won one more game
and lost one more than their
rivals. Oakland fus put forth a
beef over their pennant aspir
ants' failure to jluike tho per
sistent challenge.
Infield Changes
Second Baseman Tony Sabol,
Stengel let it be known, is head
ed for rest, and Bill Hurt will
likely move over from short
stop to third. Johnny Price,
whose recent performance has
been steady, probably will plug
the second ba.se gap. Ray lluinm
rick, formerly of the Philadel
phia Phillies, is ready, the fence
repairing manager said, to step
in at shortstop.
San Francisco moved into the
near-tie with the Acorns on an
8-3 win over the lust-pluce Seat
tle Rainicrs last night. Al
though they were outhit ten to
eight, the Seals reaped 12 walks
off three Rainier chuckers and
took advantage of three errors.
Al Lien, third Seal mnundsman,
got credit for the victory.
The defeat was Seattle's fourth
In a row since Jo Jo White took
over as manager of tho club.
Beavers Shut Out
Red Lynn came out of a slump
and turned in a three-hit guiue
last night for a 10-0 Los An
geles victory over the Portlund
Beavers. The Angels pounded
two Beaver hurlers for 14 hits.
Los Angeles did its most dam
age and apparently demoralized
the Beavers in the second in
ning, when the Beavers left first
uncovered on an infield hit with
the bags loaded and two out.
Before the frame was over the
Angels had put across five runs.
The other four clubs of the
league were idle last night. San
Diego begins a series against the
Acorns at Oakland, and Sacra
mento takes on the Stars at Hol
lywood, both scries opening to
night. Seattle Buys

PHILADELPHIA. June 18 (?)
Outfielder Lou Novikoff, whose
sale to Seattle of the Pacific
Coast league was announced last
night by the Philadelphia Phil
lies, said today he Is doubtful
if he will ever play in the major
leagues again.
"My sale came as a com
plete surprise," Novikoff added.
"When Manager Ben Chapman
told me I was sold I couldn't be
lieve it. I wish I could have had
a chance to play regularly again
to see what I could do but I
couldn't and that's that."
Novikoff, now 30 years old,
was used mostly as a pinch hit
ter this season. He said he
"holds no regrets as far as the
Phillies are concerned."
The Philadelphia Phillies also
announced the sale of Pitcher
Ike Pearson to Seattle in a
straight cash deal. Tho price
was not disclosed.
Manager Chapman said "Pear
son wasn't quite good enough
this season to be used often. . .
I think he can win on the coast."
