Its Wonderful Setup
For Manaaer Ray

"And Billy don't help the family
feeling none. He gives the kid a
terrible ribbing. He's been to New
York and around couple of times
now, so he's slicker, see, and he
treats Jackie like a hayseed. The
truth is, they're both hayseeds.
But how they love to throw
punches!
Billie kids Jackie. and Jackie
won't take none of his CUFF. It's
lucky I'm smart enough not to
match 'em against each other. I'd
kill two meal-tickets with one
stone"
One thing worries the Conn
stable. Billy, the boy with the
stabbing left hand and true fight
ers instinct, who beat Aposton
twice (though the second decision
always will have q faint perfume
Of cheese for me), is too big to
fight middleweights. The light
heavyweight division is dead In
dian. The heavyweight class is the
place to make money, and the stable
is worried about Billy's failure to
gain weight. They fear he may be
full-grown now, at ITO pounds.
His weight oughta go up" NUT
ters Johnny Ray. Hes got the
build to be heavier. Oh, well, if he
don't gain, we'll just 90 on betting
these middles and light heavies.
There amt q bum south Of 100
pounds that can lick my boy"
The Conn-Ray outfit derives a
certain amount OF encouragement
from the case Of James J. Braddock,
an Irishman, constructed somewhat
like Conn, who gained weight late
in his fighting career. Braddock
fought the light heavies and lighter
heavyweights for years. He already
had been left for dead once, at the
age OF 30, before he acquired the
extra spread of shoulder and the
natural, strong" weight. that made
him a full-fledged heavy the night
he fought Joe Louis.
Maybe we'll have to wait five,
six years." says Mr.. Ray. 1T We DO,
we'll keep in shape and we won't
sneer At no purses. We're young
yet"
This is the famous managerial
"we," for Mr.. Ray is far from
young. He doesn't have to be, with
one crushing Conn for his right
hand and one crushing Conn for
his LETT.

Conn, Krieger Seeking
MuddIeweight Title
BY JOHN LARDNER,
Special Correspondent Of The Star.

NEW YORK, May IL (N.A.N.A).-
There is nothing at stake in the fight
between Billy Conn and Solomon
Krieger tonight except the over
the-weight muddleweight champion
ship Of Baluchistan.
Krieger will not risk his world
muddleweight championship Of
Seattle, Guam. and Washington, D.
G. Conn will not risk his world
championship OF Pittsburgh. Fred
erick Apostoli. the world muddle-
weight champion Of New York State
and the floor Of the Indian Ocean,
mere spectator this time, will risk
nothing whatever unless he walks
across the street to Madison Square
Garden against red light.
Fight Is Merely Fight,
But Worth Seeing
In other words, the tight is Just
fight, but well worth seeing, for the
following reasons:
/. Conn is fine fighter, a distant,
hazy threat to Joe Louis. and the
kind Of workman who thrills the old
timers. They say there has been
nothing like him since Jimmy Slat-
terry was in his brief and blazing
prime.
2. Solomon Krieger is rough and
rugged and seldom takes q back
ward step.
8. This Is 8 rubber match. Krieger
and Conn have won one apiece.
4. On the preliminary card Is
Jackie Conn. Williams young BROTH
er. who says that. If Billy fails to
whale the tar out of Joe Louis,
he will attend to the matter him
self, couple OF years later.
II don't know II Jackie can fight
or not" says William Conn "but he
certainly aims to be the champion
Of me some day"
That's correct" says Johnny Ray,
the old lightweight, who manages
the two confident Conns. THAT boy
don't kid when he gets in there to
spar with Billy. He tries to knock
the big fella's block of.
"The boys love each other, but
they love each other like q couple
OF stage 1rishmen. One Is liable to
bean the other with a dornick any
minute. I don't care how close a
couple OF Harps may be outside the
ring, when they come together with
gloves on. they want to kill each
other-for the time being.

Not The First Time

This city has experimented with straight traffic in Exchange Place be- fore. Therefore, the results of the trial that is to be given this type of traffic con- trol for a two-month period starting Mo- vember IS may somewhat parallel those of quite few years ago. At that time we recall the system was called "cow- path" traffic. And if we are not mis- taken again it didn't meet with universal approval Of course at that time we were accustomed to both right and left turns in Exchange Place which made differ ence.
 It may be shown today that having traffic sweep straight through the Gen. ter without the momentary pause for the right-hand turn will not only speed up traffic at this congested point, but will also enable pedestrian traffic, using the croSswalks to make better time. But then again we may be simply pushing bad traffic snarls away from one point to another. Traffic converging on Ex- change Place will have to seek other means getting around it to go north and south or east and west, as the case may be.
 The two-months' study will probably provide many interesting sets of figures and also the conclusion reached long ago that our streets were never built for 1889 traffic conditions.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-11-03
Postponing The Inevitable

We gather from the news stories of yesterday that the work of taking care of the old trolley tracks along North Main Street is starting before cold weather really sets in. The tracks are being covered with pavement all the way from Savings Street up to Lakewood. This is a big project and if the job is to be finished before the snow flies here in Waterbury, it will have to be rushed along at a tre- mendous speed. However, the task isn't so great as if the rails were to be up- rooted and new pavement laid.
 Ultimately we think that this will have to be done wherever there are trolley rails along our city streets. Covering them over can't be anything more than temporary job. The covering is bound to wear with the passage of much heavy traffic and when the rails begin to emerge again the dangers will be present as they are now. All of which makes one wonder if the job of covering them
