Joe Louis, a ring-weary veteran of 32, will defend his heavyweight title for the 22nd time tonight lit the Yankees' bull purk, and be very likely will leavo Billy Conn a quivering mass In the resin somewhere ubout the fourth round. The indelible impression after watching the big negro and his slighter but dend giimo 28-ycur-old opponent from Pittsburgh train for tho puat 10 duys Is thut Louis still curries too many buzookus for Ullly, just as he did another Juno night flvo ycurt ugo. Although ho hua not (ought seriously (or (our years, Loula will enter the ring tonight a bvuutifully trulned speci men. Veterans of the fight gumc who doubted that Joe could bridge the chnsm of lime and whip himself into any thing approaching his prewar form have watched his closing workouts in open-mouthed iiiour.cmcut. The big mun who bus held the crown for nine years still hits fast and with paralyzing force. His legs still look trim, and he shuffles about ,011 his largo feet about as swiftly as ever. As (or Hilly Conn, he will curry Into the ring no nienaiirubly greater weapons limn be hud that oilier blazing night when he went down under a hurricane of blows In the 13th round. Hilly still has 1 fighting heart the size of a pumpkin, ho is utterly (earless of Joe Louis, he is (ast and he thinks he can win. McEuinWill i Meet Kiser I Jack Klser, the slender bronz- ed young man who makes his living wrestling, and an old cus-! tomer, Texas Ullly McEuln. have been paired to (crap tho warm-; up bout Thursday night. ! This prelim will be for (our 1 rounds and will presage the eve-1 nlnu" a muln event tiff, a tag 1 Icniu match. I Coupled for the tag mutch will bo Joe Lynum and the new 1 Pacific const junior heavy chum- j pion, Georges Uusettc. Lynam ! gets a share of the credit fori Uusette's gaining the belt us lie was In Georges' corner with ad- i vice last Thursday night. Opposing those boys will be ' the ex-chump, Mnrtlno Angelo, and his more or less silent part-1 nor of the championship bout,! I'aiivo Katoncn. This will bo the third tng team mulched for the local arena since It was Inaugurated by the late Hod Dawson last winter. Dawson's partner for tho first match was ex-candldntc for Sis kiyou county sheriff, Pete Bel castro. Rules (or a tag match arc sim ple. There are two men on a team, but only ono is allowed In tho squared circle at a time, while his partner must stay out side on the apron. When the (Ightlng partner gels tired or in a bad way, it is up to him to angle over toward his corner and touch the outstretched hand of his runnins mute, u-hn thmi I mny come in and assume the light. The bout will go until one side has two (alls scored against Also possibly on the credit side, Billy has put on a (cw rugged pounds, which might help him take a punch better and hit a little hurdcr. Billy and his handlers insist he Is ready to step around Louis tonight and box him dizzy. Billy points out he was well ahead on points when Joe tagged him in their other (ight, and he has sworn by all the coal in the Pittsburgh district that he will not try to slug with the lightning this time. "Louis' punches don't leave you dead, anyway," he said one day recently. "Ho hits hard, sure. But don't (orgct he had to hit me about 20 more times after that drat right to the jaw be(oro he put me down. He won't get the chance this time." Louis has made only one promise: that he will "go out throwing punches" tonight. But he expects to win in an early round, and all his training has been toward that end. For publication he has predicted that "Billy won't be around for long." Privately, he has picked the third round as the one in which he might catch up with his elusive rival. "I trained (or a knockout," lie sums it up. "Conn trained for the newspapers." , The odds against Conn being the new champion were hovering around 12-to-5, and it was thought they might soar above l-to-3 by nightfall.

Louis In Six About this time, because if we put It off any later it would be cheating, we would like to predict that Billy Conn is wast ing his time and Joe Louis should knock him kicking in or near the sixth round. We have made a couple of token wag ers, of a mil lion dollars each you know, the "I'll betcha a mil lion bucks that . . ." kind t hat Louis will retain the heavyweight title, one giving three to one that Louis wins somehow and some time and the other even money that Conn isn't around to answer the bell (or the 10th round. In fact, we think the 10th round stipulation is slightly out of proportion, figuring that Conn will be through for the night by the sixth. The big brawl will be broad cast over KFLW starting at 6 d. m. tonight. Don Dumphy and Bill Corum will attempt to give radio listeners a word pic ture of what they would be see ing if they had plunked down $100 bucks for a ringside seat, as many did, we hear. For the past three weeks the Associated Press wire every day has been carrying stories from the training camps, one by Uayle Talbot and one by Sid Feder. Every day these stories have pic tured Conn as working hard, mauling his sparring mates, plot ting victory and not being afraid of Louis, and also every day these stories have pictured Louis as working hard, mauling his sparring mates, plotting victory and not being afraid of Conn. But despite the hard work, mauling, plotting and courage displayed, the odds today back in New York are reported lo be 13 to 5 in favor of Louis. Hugh Fullcrton comes up with this bit of skullduezerv to throw at people who say Louis is too old. Bob Fitzsimmons and Jack Johnson were both 37 years old when they were dethroned, and Jess Willard was 36, which still gives Louis,' at 32, four more years of activity. On the other hand, five former champs were older than Conn (28) when they won the title. Best comparison Is the fight in Snapp Gets Decision Over Billy Sunday By HALE SCARBROUGH Billy Sunday, opponent (or LVsal Snapp In the armory main event boxing match last night, met excellent (ighting with raw courage but courage alone wasn't enough and Snapp, the popular lightheavy from Mer rill, walked away with a unani mous decision at the end of five rounds. In making his first postwar fight here, Snapp gave an exhi bition of skillful boxing plus a damaging punch in either hand, but Sunday, tough aa whit lea ther, stayed in and made it one of the best bouts of the current armory season. Sunday s best round was the fourth when he rushed in and traded punches with the heavier Snapp ail the way through, and also took a couple of long rights to the face that by rights should have floor-: ed him. In the fifth round Snapp caught Billy in a crouch and sent him to the canvas for an ' eight-count with a left to the I jaw, then a few seconds later ! the Chiloquin Indian went down for five under another left, but at the bell he was standing up ; and taking everything coming his way, j LeRoy Barkley of Chiloquin ' crouched and weaved to a unan imous decision over Johnny Mil ler In the other five-round light heavy bout. Barkley never stopped moving while he rained blows to Miller's body. Down Twic In the third round Miller went down twice under rib punches, but in the fourth and fifth seemed to be getting stronger as time ran out. Two hurried knockout spot ted the prelims. Bobby Barney took a right hand smash from Don Reynolds off the ropes early in the opening round of their lightheavy encounter, and rested on the canvas while Ref eree Wally Moss counted. At nine he started to get up but the count of 10 caught him still with a knee on the deck. In the next fight between middleweights Johnny Jones and Pete Gordon, the latter caught a rushing left jolt to the chin in the third and sprawled on the canvas. He was also try ing to get to his feet when th count ended. Ex-Sailor Stopptd . A four - round special event bout put Teddy' Roosevelt in against Jack Dodge and Roose velt, improving with every (ight, decisioned the ex-tailor al though he wasn't able to get him off his feet. The opener between Paul Wilson and Herbert Sncll went to a lightweight decision for Snell who blooded Wilson's nose in the first round, then hacked a cut over his eye in the last. which Tunney (27) beat Dempsey (31).
