JOE LOUIS
BILLY CONN
Joe Louis Going Out For Kayo
NEW YORK, June 10 (!) 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

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

team, but only ono is allowed
In tho squared circle at a time,
while his partner must stay out

(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.

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.
