NEW York; you can't af-

Johnston spouts every minute.
on the minute. Usually he
spouts about boxing, which is
very close to his heart, which,
In turn, is very close to his
pocketbook, being as he keeps
that article sewed inside his
vest.
Johnston's latest eruption
came In mid-afternoon yester-
day and even passersby, 20
stories below his office in the
Paramount building at Times
square, paused to listen. He had
chosen for his subject the re-
fusal Of Billy Conn, the light
heavyweight champion, to meet
his heavyweight, Bob Pastor, In
Madison Square Garden ON
Dec. Is.

Today's Sports Parade

II Conn's mother or sweet
heart had been there one or
both of them would have slapped
Johnston's face, because he said
some very rough things about
the Pittsburgh Irishman and he
didn't stop to smile when he said
them.
CHARGES RUN OUT
He challenged the Irish In
Conn for one thing, saying that
he had always understood that
Irishmen liked to fight and
would take on all-comers just
for the sheer delight of a brawl.
Then, lapsing into the patois of
an Oxford don, he accused Conn
of taking a turnout powder" on
Pastor.
Translated into vulgar Eng
lish. turnout powder" simply
means 'ducking" or "scram-
ming" or avoiding a certain situ-
alton because of fear of the
consequence Of saying and meet
ing it.
HELL" Johnston said. 81 I'M
derstand that Conn doesn't want
to fight my man because he
thinks Bob Is too heavy for him.
What an excuse! Pastor weigh
ed I'LL, and Louis EOS the first
time they met, and In Detroit
this summer Bob was only 1901
to Joe's 204. Only sissies care
about weights.
Don't tell me that Conn is an
1rishman. He wouldn't have to
give more than five or six
pounds to Pastor. and what's
that? No, Conn is just afraid.
Which is all right, I guess, but
I hate to see cowardice show up
so early in a fellow. And he's
a nice looking boy, too"
Johnston to the contrary,
Conn and his board of control
probably are smart to duck Pas
tor. The best such fight could
draw would be around 500, 900
and Conn might well get licked,
Pastor being his equal as a box
er and having a decided edge
on him in experience.
SURE OF LOUIS BOUT
BY playing safe, and ignoring
Johnston's taunts. Conn can be
almost sure Of an outdoor shot
for the heavyweight champion
ship next summer. And Conn
and Louis would do half a mil
lion or more at the gate. Conn
Is personable, he has that in
tangible thing we call color,
and, not having been whacked
Ii bits by Louis, could be built
into quite a card.
OF course, he would be MUIR
dered. No fancy dan is ever
going to lick Champion Joe, and
fancy dan is just what Conn is.
He has a pretty style and
winning smile, but he can't hit.
And when a fellow can't hit,
Louis just shuffles in, brushes
past artistic but futile punches,
and lets fly.
The fragile Conn wouldn't be
In there much longer than the
echo of the referees final in
structions. One left hook, one
be the little man who wasn't
there.
But he'd get lot of money
and speaking as a man who once
had a new. bright, crisp 81 bill
right in his own hands, that
money isn't bad stuff.

Maylon's first step toward
corraling outstanding talent
for tho supporting program
was 10 book Davy Ward, Ia
coma's brilliant young wclter-
weight prospect, TO appear In
the six-round scmi-final.
The step was somewhat unpre-
cedented, since Davy graduated
into the main event ranks early
last winter and cannot be con-
sidered anything but a main
eventer In view Of his subsequent
progress.
No other conclusion can be
drawn than that Maylon prevailed
upon Wards handlers to allow
him to show his wares In the semi
windup in the interests Of Tacoma
boxing fans.
WILL COST MORE
The move Is also certain to in
volve q much greater cash outlay
for talent than would otherwise be
the case, since Ward will un-
doubtedly draw q main-eventer's
stipend even though he won't be
on top.
Moreover, Davy's opponent,
to be selected from among
four or five likely candidates,
win obviously bc entitled to
the same financial considera-
ton.

Pag|ia Aims
AtLutherans

Joe Paglia, st. Martins coach,
has been aiming at the sensational
Pacific Lutherans ever since the
Lutherans handed his Rangers a
trimming here, "a to IA, and the
return game was arranged.
So when the clubs face each
other Saturday afternoon at Stew
ems field, Olympia at 2 o'clock,
the Rangers will be in the best
form they have known this season.
Paglia, once great Santa Clara
kicker, is a capable coach. He
has the best eleven the school has
known and he intends to shoot
everything he has cooked up for
Coach Olson's spectacular aerial
bombers.
Many Tacoma fans are GER
tain to witness the game and
get their last 1899 look at
Olson's thriliers.
The Olson attack, Of course, will
be based around the throwing arm
of Mary Tommervik, the Little

the Tommervik rifle shots will be
