Comeback Trys Won't Furnish Any Luster To Heavyweight Scene Recent announcements that a couple of discredited pugs Intend to hit the comeback trail doesn't add any gloss to the discouraging world's heavyweight boxing picture. Both Billy Conn and Mnxle ckiimeltnn are swinging axes (while photographers arc about) In attempts at training, but neither can be counted on to furnish anything material as a threat to the champ, Joe Louis. Joe's recent revelation that he will retire after the '48 punch season might have something to do with druggt!g Conn out of retirement, but with Schmcllng it's probably a matter of money. The Black Uhlan Is said not to have much of the good U. S. kala ha made In pre-war duys left. For one thing, he was on the wrong team during the big conflict. Whatever their reasons, chances are almost nil that either Conn or Schmellng will ever be first-raters In the ring again, either In ability or In favor of the fans. Schmellng should be barred from ever coming to the United States again. , Joe Louis, who la now making his expenses pummellng exhibition opponents, can look over the heavyweight field without a worry In the world. Somewhere I've read that the only logical opponents for him are Lil Abner, Joe Palooka and Alley Oop. ... Little Better Than Comic Heroes The heavyweight situation Is almost that bad. You can list a dutch mlght-be challengers and find feet of clay ou all of 'em. For Instance: Mello Bettlna was right In the running until he was chilled by Ous Lesnevlch In less than half a round last week, although Bettlna was beaten twice by Fox in earlier matches. Billy Fox, a youngster of 21 years, was riding on the crest of a fabulous number of knockouts until he was flattened by Lesnevlch several months ago. Freddie Mills, the Britisher, was getting his raves until he was stopped by Lesnevlch In London. Joe Kahut, the Woodburn, Ore., favorite son. was also getting the big build-up until Lesnevlch almost murdered him over a year ago. Since that time Kahut has gone steadily down and Is now probably out of the fight game with a chipped elbow. All these instances point the finger at Ous Lesnevlch, but Qui. as llghtheavy champ, apparently prefers to stay close to the ns-pouwt mark and knock off the strays from the heavyweight division. His next will probably be one Easard Charles of Cincinnati. . Mauriello Rebuilding His Rep But there are others who aspire to the heights In Louis' tone of defense. Taml Mauriello, once chastised by Louis, is batting around the fight clubs regaining his rep at the expense of second and third raters. He d like to try again. Jersey Joe Walcott Is one of the most frequently mentioned targets for Louis' fists, but a title bout for that aged campaigner has not come to pass. Walcott, among other things, has beaten and been beaten by Elmer (Violent) Ray, beat Jlmmle Blvlns, declsloned Joe Baksl and even retired from the ring once. He Isn't, and rightfully so, taken seriously. Bruce Woodcock was beaten by Mauriello and knocked out by Baksl. Joe Baksl, showing admiral perception, has declared he won't fight Louis. It goes around In circles but there's not much hope of Louis getting dizzy. Bill Hdyward Retires After 44-Year Career SEATTLE. May 31 (XI Oregon's Bill Hayward, 79 years young, will end his long career as a track coach today. The veteran mentor told the Puget Sound Sportswrlters and Sportscasters association last night: "This Is my last season. I've had more fun with the boys than I can find words to describe, but you can say for me this Is my final northern division meet." Hayward's announcement that he intended to retire after 44 years of coaching track brought Immediate expressions oi regret ana many tributes. Washington's Hec Edmundson said this of Hayward: Tve been associates in tract with him for a long time. I've run for him and I ve coached teams to oppose his Oregon atnietes, ana down through the years I've grown to believe hes surely one oi tne finest students of track in this country." Edmundson was a memoer or a Hayward-coached team of North west athletes which competed against a band of eastern stars during the Alaska Yukon Pacific exposition in 10. Others present at the sports- writers' session Included Washing ton State, Jlggs Dahlbcrg of Mon tana.
