MONDAY, INR AY, FUNG. 16, 1941 Dillon Graham Sa: Says Cona’s Speed, Jabs Will Whip Bon Bombe Sells Camp Visitors; Tells How He'll Fight Heavy- weight Champ Billy’s Confidence ‘YANKEES WHIP INDIANS; CARDS DODGERS, SPLIT | RED sox BUMP CHISOX By DILLON GRAHAM Sports Editor, AP Feature Service POMPTON LAKE, N. J., June 16.—Billy Conn threw his chick- | en bone on the floor and pushed his chair back from the rough, typewriter-laden press room ble. “Here”, he said, how Joe goes”. Conn was fresh from a work- out, rubdown, and shower at his training camp here and wore slacks and a sports jacket. He/ had sniffed at the kitchen door | and grabbed half a fowl, then| wolfed it ashe sat among the | beer-drinking boxing writers, ta- “TIl show you Someone had asked the Pitts- burgh Adonis hew he expected to weather Louis’ blows. Conn, you know, challenges for the heavy- weight championship in a_15- rounder at New York’s Polo Grounds Wednesday night. “Louis shouldn’t ever hit me”, Billy declared. “Not the way he fights. See, here’s how he goes”. Billy, his hair wet and tousled from his shower, walked over to the corner, slumped into the fa- miliar Louis crouch with hands up high, almost touching. Then he began moving for- ward in that curious little hip- pety-hop, feet - close - together, shuffling movement with which the Brown Bomber stalks his foes. A boxing writer laughed. “I’ve been watching Louis for seven years but I’ve never seen anyone is well as Billy does”. Billy yelled, “this is position can hit a fast-moving man. like.me? Not on your life. ‘The guy shouldn't ever hit me”. | “Aw, Billy”, another writer | said, “Joe's bound to hit you”. | “Sure, he'll touch me with | some glancing blows, but I mean he'll never land a full, clean blow at my chin”, Conn explained. “And don't let anyone kid you into believing that if he does hit me I'll get my temper up and slug with him. I know I did that with Apostilo and some of the other boys, but I knew I could hit as hard as they could. I can't hit with Louis and I ain’t gonna try. There'll be visions of a mil- lion bucks dancing before my eyes that night and I can ditch my Irish pride for that kind of cabbage. “I never have any trouble with those big, slow-footed guys. I handled that Lesnevich pretty well. didn’t I? And how about Savold? Say, the guy didn't touch me until I let him. “There I was, away out front on points, and the guy hadi’t got near me. It was a lousy fight and the fans started clapping. I said to myself, ‘Well, Billy, you're the light heavy champ. It’s up to you to give them a fight’. So I waded into Savold and traded punches | with him. “But that guy broke my nose. | I thought my head was coming! off. When I went back to the cor- ner, I said to Johnny (Johnny | Ray, his manager): ‘Oh, my poor | head, Johnny, that guy liked to knocked it off, He can punch. . . | but he ain’ta gonna hit me no more, no more’. And he didn’t”, Billy said. “But next time it's Mr. Louis’ furn. He's the champion and it’s ue to him fo force the go- tng. When the fans start clap- ping, it's up to Louis to do something about it. That clap- ping is going to worry Louis, mot me. “T'm a-gonna stick him with my left, and run. PH jab his nog. gin off Billy's not going to take anv chances. “But”, he said, “Pm not going ta miss anv opportunities. If I feint him and he lets one go and leaves himself open I'll sock him with ao right uppercut. There's a difference between taking chances and socking an open spot “The guy starts off holding that left hand high, but some- times he later drops it. Boy, if he drops it agninst me, Pm gonna pep him “He's easy to hit with @ right Hell, even strangers and passers. by could sock him with a right”.

TWICE AND REDS DOWN GIANTS OF TWIN BILL (Special to The Citizen) NEW YORK, June 16.—Joe DiMaggio, extending his hitting streak to 28 consecutive games, the ninth the New York Yankees a 3-2 victory over the Cleveland In- .dians. The win shoved the Yanks up to within two games of the Tribe. Chicago White Sox continued their downward flight in the American league. Playing before a capacity crowd despite threat- ening weather, the Boston Red Sox disposed of the Chisox in both ends. of a twin bill, 8-6 and 6-4, Their second game rained out, the St. Louis Browns and Phil- adelphia Athletics staged a slug- ging bee in the opener that was featured by an Athletic uprising in the eighth to win the scrap, 10-4. Washington Senators overpow- ered the Detroit Tigers, 7-5, in the curtain-raiser of a double- header, and then dropped the nightcap, 4-2. Tigers’ victory in the second game gave them fourth place as the Chisox fell to fifth spot. Campbell’s pair of homers tied the score for Detroit in the afterpiece and Mullins’ the fourth brought home the winning runs. Breaking even in their , four- “erucial” series, the St. ;Louis Cardinals and Brooklyn Dodgers yesterday split a twin ‘pill. Brooklyn walloped the St. | | Louis nine 8-1 in the opener but were blanked by southpaw Ernie White’s two-hitter in the after- math, 3-0. White singled home the first run in the third and Hugh Casey walked in the other two in the same inning. Cincinnati Reds increased their hold on third place by drubbing the New York Giants twice, 5-2 and 6-3. Reds came from behind in the nightcap to win with a four-run rally in the eight, while Bucky Walters limited the |New Yorkers to seven hits: Boston Braves downed the Pittsburgh Pirates 5-1 in the first of a two-ply affair and then were ‘rained out in the closing game with the Pirates ahead and at bat in the third. Philadelphia Phillies and Chi- | cago Cubs divided a doublehead- Claude Passeau blanked the Phils 6-0 in the first and Phila- |delphia took the nightcap, 8-4.

You can’t hang around Billy tong and observe his sincerity in believing he'll be the next heavy- weieht champion without getting a bit enthused about him. You can’t recall the way Billy knock- ed out Pastor and Knox and bandeuffed Savold without feel- ing that he has an excellent chance agaitist Louis—against the Lotis whe took 21 rounds to catch Pastor, the Louis who was wtterly confused by the slow, ctovehine Godoy The Louis who beat Schmel- ing would. I think, beat Conn or any other fighter in short order. But that Louis was the Bomber of several years ago. Perhaps he’s gone forever. Your correspondent, with fear« some thoughts of what might happen to Conn should Louis pin him in a corner. stun him and assault him with that murderous fimishing offensive. thinks that Conn is teo fast to be cornered, that Billy will jab Joe's ears off, eut him around the eyes. con- found? him and win the heavy and Warren; weicht chompionship.

The game was called at the end of six innings to make way for ‘an Army-CCC softball contest at 3:00 o'clock, Using members of four clubs {that were active last year, the Bucs blasted two homers off the! slants of “Red” MeKay- but oth- erwise fell victims to his cunning ‘tosses.

Besides-the pair of circuit cloyts, he allowed only two other safe blows. “Brown Boy” Vargas, an | American Legion junior pitcher, ‘went the route for the Pirates, holding the Coast Guardsmen to five hits, one a double by Joe Navarro, catcher. “The pitchers of both teams turned in excellent perform- ances”, W.

Sawyer’s Barbers, tied with the Stas for second place, will take the field in the role of heavy favorites to spill the Army tonight, and a win for the NavStas would leave all three of the league leaders tied for pen- nant honors. The Stas, riding the star Plumber tosser, “Cigarette Wil- lie” Gates, scored their second victory of the season over Plumb- ers Friday night to take a place in the battle for the crown. The Plumbers, weakened by the loss of several of their play- ers, are in for more trouble if league officials tomorrow night decide to replay the controversial battle with the Barbers. Winners in the fourth match with the Barbers when the Haircutters walked off the field in the mid- dle of the fourth inning, the weakened Plumber outfit will stand a fair chance of dropping clear out of the race should the tilt be played again and NavStas whip. them tonight.
