SPORTS PARADE
By HENRY McLEMORE

NEW YORK, July IA. (UP)-Billy
Conn, a fugitive from a collar ad,
is the new light heavyweight cham
pion of the world, having won the
title last night by beating Melio
Bettina in a l5-round bout in Mad
ison Square Garden.
Come to think OF 1t, beating
is harly the word 10 use in describ-
ing what Conn did to Bettina. Conn
never will beat anyone. He isn't
that sort OF fighter. He is a
claSsicist with a capital "C' and
has a style remindful Of the ballet
Russe-all grace and rhythm and
that sort Of thing.
His left hand is Conn'S best wea-
pom and it Is thing OF beauty,
not brutality. He flicks it with the
flowing smoothness, of a swan bob
bing its neck, ana when 1t lands
it is scarcely damaging enough to
cause the judges to credit him with
landing a punch. Lovely to look at,
yes; pleasing to the connoiSSelirs
of the manly art, certainly; but not
of sufficient power to hurt an op-
ponent. He must have brushed his
left against Bettina'S right cheek
a thousand times last night, yet
when the upstate New York Italian
left the ring his face was only
lightly flushed, as though some one
had daubed him gently with rouge.
Conn's footwork is lovely, too. He
seems to float about the ring, so
effortlesSly does he move forward,
backward and sideways. But his
footwork never Is directed toward
getting him set to throw solid
punch. He never settles himself and
lets fly with the power that his ITO
pounds of Irish muscle might pos
sess. He seems content to present
pretty picture. To- win on points,
to harrass and harry his foe rather
than beat him down.
Which, suppose, is all right.
Perhaps the fight game could use
an esthete or two. But let us not
be SO brash as to couple Conn's
name with that Of Joe Louis, and
speak of q heavyweight title bout
between the two as soon as Conn
adds a few more. pounds. Louis
would ruin the Pittsburgher. He
would shuttle right on through that
beautiful exterior that Conn per-
sents and break him in two with
the first punch he landed.
1t wouldn't mater what kind OF
4 punch it was, either. A hook to
the body or the head, or a right to
the same spots would finish Conn.
And quickly.
Bettina had him in trouble sew
eral times last night, and all Bet
tina has is an awkward stance, and
a mediocre assortment of round
house punches. Even so, thought
he fought well enough to earn
draw, and that the fight was much
too close to warrant passing of
title. He was all over Conn like
paper on a wall in the final round,
and this closing aggressiveness, to
me, at least, earned him the right
to an even break. He was the
stronger of the two at the finish,
and am one of those rugged indi-
viduals who believes that the con-
dition of the fighters at the finish
Is slightly more important than
dozen of two Intellectual pops in
the face. ...
In wining the first four rounds
of the fight Bettina landed more
substantial punches, inflicted more
damage, than Conn did in winning
seven or SO.
But let's not get. excited. No one
ever has over the light-heavyweight
division and il iS tan late tn ctart

In the book stores it is hard to get copies of books by the war corre- spondents-"Days of Our Years" or Inside Asia, for instance. Although the books aren't there, the clerks can tell you how the war should be fought, and anything else that you want to know.
 At dinner last evening. I met a young French officer who had drag ged his uniform out of the trunk. and was on his way back to rejoin his regiment. He was a reservist. a lieutenant. and has been in this country four years with the excep- tion of annual visits to get in his service periods. During dinner he made one remark that lodged in my memory. The French people, he said mo longer think of the Ger mans in the same vein that the war is remembered We feel sorry for the German people. But we shall soon be fighting them. and the fighting will be all the more terrible. We do not underestimate the strength. or the courage of the Ger mans. They are great fighters. But in the end of course we and our allies will win"

All New Workers Are Talk inQ About ConfliCt-
 Going Nuts
By GEORGE TUCKER

NEW YORK, Oct. 3.-The early days of this war are unfolding in New York like the closing pages of an Ernest Hemingway novel. Tn Hemingway novels people do a lot of walking around and indulge in a lot of spontaneous conversation.
 The other night I climbed into an elevator and was on my way to the 20th floor of a hotel. On the way up said to the operator. a man of ancut 50: What do you think about the war?'
 That was a mistake. He turned on me and began gesturing excit- edly. There will be no war. Ger many will stop it. If England and France would let Germany alone there would be no trouble He said ten times this much in half the time it has taken you to read this little. He had me backed into a corner. I didn't know whether he would hit me CT not.
 Ten minutes later I came down in the elevator, unfortunately. with the same man, but I did not mention the war, or anything else. Outside met a couple of people I knew with several didn't know. arguing on curb Il was Russia this, and France that. and MT. Chamberlain the other Not a one of them but knew the exact tactics to pursue to win the war Each of them knew exactly why one side or the other would lose. A taxi driver, total stranger, leaned out of his cab and yelled, You're all nuts, and so is everybody nuts, me. too, and drove on. His radio was blasting out barrage Of news reports from War saw.

CALENTO SAYS BRESCIN QUIT
 IN FIRST ROUND
Through Carryin' Guys'' Shorts l-ROund K. O.
 Winner
By HENRY SUPER

(United Press Staff COrreSpOndent)
 New York, Jan. 20-(UP)-The beer taps were wide open and the customers stood 10 deep around the bar in Tony Galento's tavern over in Orange, N. J., early today, listening to the fat man who walks like a bar rel repeat over and over:
 Get me dat bum Joe Louis. I'll moider him. Devil hold me for man. slaughter"
 It was @ gaudy affair, typically Galento. It seemed like something that belogned back in the era of the Sullivans and Corbetts; a rough, tough party dedicated to Tony's one round knockout" last night of Jorge Brescia, mild bull". from the Pampas.
 And if anyone who saw Galento perform in the Newark armory had dared venture that maybe Louis would do the murdering, it would have been like climbing into an electric chair and throwing the switch himself.
 But in the minds of many who saw the fight there was the ques- tion: "Is Galento a superman or just phoney?" Last nights affair proved nothing.
 Brescia Quit?
 It drew 9,087 persons and lasted exactly one minute and Al seconds Galento threw couple of left hooks to the stomach and Brescia winced The left flashed again and Brescia went down for no count. Another left-many claimed they never even saw tito the stomach and Brescia was on the floor, grimacing as it seemed the man was dying.
 The referee counted 10 and he snapped to his feet as if he'd just stepped out of a shower.
 Galento was mad. He claimed Brescia quit. Brescia said he was struck a low blow that temporarily paralyzed him--for 10 seconds.
 I'm through carryin' guys" Gal ento said. T hits this bum with an easy one, sorta settin' him up. And what's he do? He gifts himself counted out. Hereafter I'm gonna give dem everything I got insteada tryin' to finish dem easy like" Modest Antonio
 He spent more than half an hour in his dressing room trying to con- vince everyone that he is 8 great fighter. Promoter Mike Jacobs was there and he told Galento: "You don't have to explain, Tony. You knocked the guy outP Waht more do they want?"
 Galento probably will get chance to prove how good he is in 8 couple of months. Jacobs indicated he plan. ned to match Tony with Lou Nova the young Californian who recent! defeated Tommy Farr. The figh will be in Madison Square Garde1 and, if 1t comes of, Galento will b, strictly on his own.
 Before that, Galento has date with Natey Brown (Feb. 3 in De. troit) and Abe Feldman (Feb. 22 1T Miami).
 "Just bums," he said. "De bott of dem. Deyre all bums-Louis Baer, Nova. All but Galento. IT be de next heavyweight champ"

Oakville, WatertoWn S-p-o-r-t-s
(By Robert .. Palmer, Jr.)

Oakville, Jan. 19-Adding the Wa terville A. O., Brooklyn Indies and Kelly's Big Five to their list of vic- tins, during the past week, the ram- paging Oakville Dukes boosted their seasons mark to IA wins in IT starts which in case you should ask is splendid going and even if you do not care to ask, it is still travelling at a mighty fast clip.
 The Waterville game was one of those rip-roaring affairs with the lead changing hands several times before the Dukes finally spurted and won out 36-33. It was all Ray Beauty for the Blue as the diminu- tive forward tailed 17 points before retiring with two painfully injured fingers. George Pierce's nine points also were of great importance to the victors.
 The Indies, surprisingly enough, for they were expected to cut some fancy capers on the court this sea- son, proved to be weak sisters and the locals tagged @ 39-21 win on their button. The less said about that one the better.
 Running true to their promise of offering the Dukes much stiffer com- petition in the second round, @ stub- born Kelly's Five outplayed the champions for three and one-half periods only ot lose out in the final two minutes of play in a thrill packed Town league game at Water- town high school gymnasium Tues day night.
 With the score knotted at 23 all, the Piercemen rang the bell for five consecutive points, the ball game and their eighth straight league victory. It was the toughest assignment of the season for the blue and gold, even exceeding their nip and tuck battle with the Kiesels a fortnight ago. Pierce again tailed nine points to pace the victors. It looks like the managers of rivals teams weren't fooling when they decreed to get the Dukes at all costs. Kelly's team made @ gallant stand and lost, 1t now re- mains to be seen what team will be the first to stop Lou pierce's team, If any.
 Just who the Dukes have booked next is not known to the writer but their next league opponent will be the much improved Princeton A. A., headed by the veteran Hennie Darlington. However, 1t is probable that some suitable foe will be played on Monday evening at Barnard school.
 The Oakville A. A. also has an eight game streak, but 'tis far dif- ferent from the Dukes victory spell. The A. A. has yet to win @ game and the outlook for them to do so isn't at all bright.
 However, the A. A. must be given credit. Early in the fall the club was slated to have an exceptionally strong lineup, but before they could gather their talent together, some other manager had stole 1t away. Rather than leave the league with seven teams by withdrawing, the old CT members of the club decided to field team, and although we can- not say 1t resembles what one would call @ formidable hop array, they are in there trying.
 Adios, my friends.

SNOW.TRAIN DUE
 AT BRATTLEBORO

New Haven, Jan. 20-The New Haven railroad has its plans all ready for the running of Connecti- cuts first snow train of the season to Brattleboro, Vermont, waiting only upon the long expected snow fall to eventuate. Originally sched- uled for last Sunday, the train was cancelled when Brattleboro failed to be within the area visited by the heavy snowfall last Friday, getting only two or three inches, as com pared with six or seven inches along the coast. There has been no snow since then and unless a good fall de- velops before Sunday another can- cellation will be necessary.
 However, we are all set to operate if we get the snow" said Charles E. Williams, district passenger agent for the railroad, land Brattleboro is an ideal spot for the skier, whether he is expert or novice. The terrain Is mostly open ana rolling, with many wooded slopes and open wide roomy areas for all classes of skiers Four ski tows are in operation there all with convenient bus service from the railroad station. The nearest one Is the Guilford street area which is served by @ 1,100-foot tow. Numer- ous wooded raods provide interesting cross-country skiing"
 This years snow train will not be equipped with sports service cal but will have @ dining car serving low priced meals at breakfast, lunch and dinner.
 Definite word as to whether ol not this weeks snow train will bt operated may be obtained Saturday from the local ticket agent.
