Midd|eweight Glass
Holds None Able
To Push Him
N.B,A. Champ BewiIdered
By Pittsbureher in
12-Round Serop
BY GAYLE TALBOT,
Associated Press Sports Writer.


NEW YORK, May 13.-They're
going to have to supply bigger game
for Billy Conn. the Pittsburgh Kid,
after the terrific beating he dealt
out to Solly Krieger, the N. B. A.
middleweight king, in their 12-
round bout at the Garden last
night.
He must have proved to nearly
everybodys satisfaction by this time
that he can knock the daylghts
out of all the FOUNDERS they
can throw into the ring with him.
In his last four important fights,
Billy has whipped Krieger twice and
Fred Apostoli, champion in New
York State. the same number of
times. If they keep matching him
with middleweights. one of these
nights the kid will be had up for
assault and battery.
Krieger Is Outclassed.
krieger didn't belong in the same
ring with Conn. even though Billy
plainly wasn't at his best. He has
been troubled with infected tonsils
lately and was on his way back
home today to have them out. He
weighed 1904 last night to
Griegers l66, but thinks he might
sprout up to solid 1870 without the
bad tonsils. If Conn ever does
weigh that much. he is going to
make lot of heavyweights take to
the woods.
SollY tried so hard it almost hurt
to watch him. He lunged at his
nimble rival round after round.
swinging for dear life. but all he
got for his most heroic efforts was
a painful beating, a confused look
on his face and a load of sarcasm
from the 10000 witnesses to his
plight.
Does Well to Stay on Feet.
There wasn't a knockdown, though
it was strange that Solly kept his
feet under the barrage of left-righls
that poured onto his granite Jaw IN
the late rounds. BY a conservative
estimate, Conn captured nine cha,.-
tiers, krleger gained one and a cou-
pie could have been called even.
Neither was cut. but SoliyS face was
swollen and battered at the end.
Conn's speed was so immeasurably
greater that he let himself go only
a half dozen times in the entire
scrap. including hristling minute
at the very end when obviously he
was trying to stretch krieger on the
canvas. He couldn't do that, but. as
his little manager, Johnny Ray
asked in the dressing room. who
can?"
All Conn lacks to make him a SEN
sation is little more weight and
knockout wallop Ray thinks the
wallop will come with the weight
though there is the less happy pos
slbllitv that added poundage might
take away some of Billys remark
able speed.
