Pihsburgher Takes
Bitter BrawI Only
By Slim Margin
Scores With Left Job
After Bad Beating
In Early Rounds
BY GAYLE TALBOT,
AssociatAd Press eports Writer.

NEW YORK, July 14.-There was
neither Joy nor band music In
Beacon, N. Y, today, for Melio
Bettina blew his light-heavyweight
title to Billy Conn Of Pittsburgh
last night in Madison Square Gar
den.
The Beaconites, who hadn't boast
ed a champion since George WASH
ington was in their midst during the
Revolution, came down In q special
train with two bands to support
their squat, dark idol - but the
Judges voted unanimously for Conn
at the close of a hard Is rounds.
The Pittsburgher, scoring his
fourth decision in as many starts in
New York, whitfield his way to VIC
tory with left jab after taking a
sound beating for the first hve
rounds. That is, he did In the opin-
ion of three judges, who collectively
voted Bettina only seven rounds
against eight for the slim boy from
the West.
Good Enough for Return Bout.
The Associated Press scored the
thing dead even-seven rounds for
each fighter and one round even.
BY that tabulation Melio would have
retained the crown that he and his
fellow-Beaconites have treasured
since the New York State Athletic
Commission bestowed 1t upon him
six months ago.
Melio, who had been badly under
rated, came out of the scrap crying
bitterly. His manager, Jimmy Grip
po, was raving about having been
denied impartial officials." Earlier
in the day he had asked that only
one of the officials be Of Irish de-
scent, and he evidently thought they
had rung in an extra Irishman on
him.
But whoever was right about the
scoring (and after all the three men
whose opinions counted were unan-
imous), 1t was a good flght-good
enough for a return in the opinion
Of the 1925 who paid to see it.

Double Victory Puts
Leading kaysees 4
Up on MilIers
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
There was big gap In the Ameri-
can Association race today between
first-place Kansas City and those
ever-challening Minneapolis Millers
"a gap extending two and a half
games.
And that was mighty big to the
Blues, who have been harried for
weeks by the Millers although man
aging to keep the lead.
Their f1rst-place margin was but a
half game until last night, when they
won double-header from Columbus
while Minneapolis fell twice before
indianapolis, s to S and 3 to1.
Two workmanlike pitching per-
formances brought Kansas City its
victories, 6 to 2 and 4 to 2. Al Pie
chota allowed five hits in the seven
inning opening game. Tom Refs per-
mitted six in the afterpiece.

Return Match for Bena Favored After Heavy Title Loss to Conn
Conn Wins World Title Hard Way in Year:
Coins Heights Without Prep Beotinq chomps Often

He traded swings no less than
IL times with champions or
former champions and on nine
occasions came of winner, but
not until last night did he have
an opportunity to grab of q
crown.
Most mitt stars go through an
apprenticeship in the amateur
ranks, but Conn never tossed
punches for a merchandise certi-
flcate or the inevitable timepiece.
He took his lessons from Johnny
Ray, masterful lightweight ring
man, and when his tutor felt the
time was ripe, Billy went to the
ring wars for the first time in
1895.
His development was rapid, but
1t was not until early this year,
when he crashed the big time in
New York against Fred Aposton,

Airplane Manufacturer
And Rail Lines Benefited

It can be pointed out. for example,
that airplane manufacturers are do
ing a thriving business. They are
selling airplanes for war purposes
and they are selling them here, as
well. Likewise, the official reports
show how the industries producing
airplane parts and equipment and
certain other types Of war material
are rushing their products through
to q finished state.
The rail lines have benefited.
Through a stretch Of six consecu-
tive weeks, car loadings-an accu-
rate business barometer-have ex-
ceeded 100000 cars for each seven
day period, and then dropped off.
In this case, car loadings have
shown q vast bulk movement but
one must examine the commodities
hauled to calculate what conditions
are. It IL to be noted that there
were exceedingly heavy shipments
