Conn Hos More Natural
Equipment Than Nova

Certainly, Conn has more natural
equipment than Nova. If he has
Nova's determination he can do a
lot with it. 1t might not be a bad
idea for hin-Whether he wins or
loses against Bettina-to lay off
active campaigning for six months
and go into the woods or to the
mountains to harden himself and
build himself up for bigger game.
Gene Tunney was just about
Conn's size when he entered seri-
ously on the business of fitting him
self for crack at Jack Dempsey
His first move in this direction was
to build up his body, strengthen his
hands and do just enough boxing
to keep his eyes and his punches
sharp. 1t was a long, hard grind
and a less determined young man
might have abandoned it somewhere
along the way. but Gene stuck-and
reaped rich reward for his toll
in his two fights with Dempsey.
Conn, up to now. seems to lack
some of the earnestness of a Tun-
ney-or a Nova. But the situation
should appeal to him. No one in
the upper heavyweight bracket
stands much of a chance with Louis
now. If some one is going to beat
Louis in the next couple of years
well, his future looms brighter than
that of any one else.

joey Archibald, midget ruler of
the featherweight division, will try
to instill little respect for the
crown in Mexican joey Silva to-
night at Griffith Stadium, where
they are scheduled to box 10 rounds
in the feature bout of Well-b al
anced card.
Thus far Silva. who exhibited a
granitelike chin, cast-iron chassis
and pair of remarkably durable
legs in bouts with Pete Galiano and
Al Reid, has refused to recognize
the authority of a right-hand punch.
And left hooks mean little more.
Those two opponents dubbed him

Archibald may do better tonight.
The odds are 8-5 that Joey slaps

Tony Practically Perfect

perfect. Nova met Baer in the cen
ter of the ring in the first round
and slugged it out with him. taking
all MaXs heaviest fire, which must
have been a shock to Max He
fought toe-to-toe with him for seven
rounds and then, switching to a
more skillful offense, pounded him
out of the picture in the 18th round
Nova, as Galento said, doesn't hit
as hard as he does, but he does hit
more often. If he carried Galento's S
punch he would have flattened Baer
but he hit Max often enough to
knock his face out of shape, seldom
missing as he poured punches at
him through the last three rounds.

LONDON, June 5.-The 1914
Olympic games were expected to be
awarded to London this week as
40 members of the International
Olympic Committee arrived today
to consider bids of four major cities.
Others bidding for the 18th Olym-
piad are Detroit. Rome and Laus-
anne. Switzerland.
Alympic Committee ~nbers will
meet Tuesday evening The Duke
of Gloucester will greet them at
St. James Palace
London last held the games in
1908, but British Olympic officials
point out that even then they were
forced to take them over on short
notice.
1t is possible that a fight for the
games may develop between Rome
and London. Rome originally was
scheduled to get the 1910 games
before they were awarded to Japan
The Italian committee. however
gave them up, and did not bid for
them again when the Sino-Japanese
War forced Japan to turn them over
to Finland.
Sentiment Against Rome.
Because of this series of events,
Italian officials believe they are en-
titled to the games.
Most Olympic officials oppose Civ
ing the games to Rome because. they
say, the Olympics have been tangled
up in international politics since
before the Berlin games in 1896.
The tendency now is not to give
them to any country which may
use the games to publicize the au-
thOrltarian state.
Detrolt's position is weakened by
the fact that the games were held
in Los Angeles in 1882, though
United States Olympic officials recall
that Athens had the games twice in
10 years.
Two United States delegates are
eXpected-Avery Brundage from
| Chicago and Frederick r. Coudert
OF New York. Brundage has regis
tered with the committee, but
Coudert has not yet reported
Brundage is expected to state the
case for Detroit, and it is possible he
may try to arrange to vote for
London in 1914 provided Detroit gets
the games in 1948.
Inndnn putS nm p,r<y
British officials have wasted no
opportunities to impress on dele
gates what great place London
would be for the "A games.
An elaborate program of enter
tainment has been arranged. After
a dinner tomorrow night at the
Savoy Hotel and the official opening
at the Palace Tuesday, delegates will
be taken to Aldershot in a special
train Wednesday for a military dis
play.
Thursday they will be the honored
guests at the trooping of the color.
Friday they will be taken to
Wembley Stadium, where the games
will be held if delegates vote for
London, and on that evening the
I. o. C. meeting will close with an
official banquet given by the British
government, at which Lord Halifax
the foreign secretary, will be present

At least three trips to Washing
ton on the part of Mr. Armstrong
failed to shake Col. Somervell from
his position. he testified. At length,
he did agree to admit trucks as late
as the 1880 models, the witness said.
Early in the efforts by the Bronx
Trucking Association to get the
specifications changed, Mr.. Arm
strong reported, Col. Somervell, see
ing him at the instance of the w.
P. A. headquarters here, remarked:
You can say anything you want.

Union Monopoly Charged.
More recent history about w. P. A.
operations in New York were related
earlier in the day in testimony about
the coat project The Interna-
tional Ladies' Garment Workers
Union holds an employment monop-
oily in connection with this project
R. w. Erickson, special investigator,
told the committee.
OF 1912 workers supplied to the
project by the union, 497, or al per
cent. were ineligible for admission
to the w. P. A. rolls, Mr.. Erickson, a
former F. B. I. investigator. testified.
The 497, none of whom. is still
associated with the project, which
continues in operation, collected
s8l ,566 63 in pay, Mr.. Erickson said.
The project was launched last Au-
gust as successor to pants
project" with which the I. L. G.. w.
U. had no authority. Both the
pants and coat projects are subdivi-
sions of the New York City sewing
projects
Change Not Explained.
j. j. McTigue, who was Mr.. Erick-
sons colleague in the coat project
inquiry, said he was stumped in his
efforts to find why the employment
process was changed in the shift
from pants to coats so that the
union became the dominant group.
Col. Sommervell told Investigators
McTigue and Erickson there was an
acute unemployment problem in
New York. which could account for
putting the matter in the hands of
the union. The colonel was re-
ported as saying the order came
| from Aubrey Williams, who was act
ing w. P. A. administrator last
August when the project was put
into operation.
Mr.. Williams. Mr. McTigue said,
remarked when he was questioned:
Il probably did give orders like
that"
The workers on the pants project
were certified by the New ork City
Home Relief Office. They made
pants that would retail for $3.50
to S." to be distributed by the city
to the needy. The coats are dis
tributed in the same way.
The 497 ineligible for relief on the
coat project got from "a few dollars
up to 1882 before they were dis
missed" Mr.. Erickson said.
When the witness said the aver
age pay was $66 a month, Repre-
sentative Taber, Republican, of New
York, observed:

Congress to regulate interstate COM
merce"
1t was a 5-to-4 decision with
! Chief Justice Hughes and Justices
McReynolds, Butler and Roberts dis
senting.
District Court Reversed.
The Reed opinion reversed a rul-
ing by the Northern New York Fed
eral District Court holding uncon-
stitutional the milk provisions of
the 1887 Agricultural Marketing Act
and an order issued by Secretary
of Agriculture Wallace regulating
the interstate sale of milk in the
New York City area.
In the Boston case. Justices Nc
Reynolds, Butler and Roberts noted
diSSents.
Justice Reeds opinion in the New
York case asserted. The power en-
joyed by the States to regulate the
prices for handling and selling COM
modities within their internal COM
merce rests with the Congress in the
commerce between the States"
Referring to an equalization pool
plan intended to give producers the
same price for their milk regardless
of its use, Justice Reed said:
''The pool is only a device reason
ably adapted to allow regulation of
the interstate market upon terms
which minimize the results of the
restrictions.
"It is ancillary to the price regu-
lation, designed, as is the price pro-
vision, to foster, protect and encour-
age interstate commerce by smooth
ing out the difficulties of the surplus
and cut-throat competition which
burdened this marketing"
Volume Of Movement Controlled.
Justice Reed went on: I'm re-
cent decision we made it clear that
volume of commodity movement
might be controlled or discouraged
"As the Congress would have,
clearly, the right to permit only lim-
tied amounts of milk to move in in
terstate commerce, we are of the
opinion it might permit the move
ment on terms of pool settlement
here provided.
Common funds for equalizing
risks are not unknown and have
not been considered violative of due
process
Justice Roberts. in his dissenting
opinion In the New York case, said
he believed Secretary Wallace S
order regulating milk marketing lis
not authorized by the act, but
If it is authorized, deprives the ap-
pellees of their property without
due process of law in violation OF
the fifth amendment"
In his dissenting opinion in the

The act unconstitutionally dele
gates legislative power to the Secre-
tary of Agriculture"

Introduction Of RivoIs
Seems TocticoI Error

Meanwhile, introducing Louis and
Galento the other night seemed to
be tactical error. The sight OF
the two of them together high
spotted the tremendous edge that
the champion will have when they
move out Of their corners on the
night of June 28-and impressed
the onlookers all over again with the
idea that the squat Italian, for all
his ruggedneSs and gameness will
have but the faintest chance to win
when Louis begins to throw those
leather grenades in his direction.
But if Tony lacks something as
contender for the title he ranks
well as a prophet.
I ran into him and Joe Jacobs at
Nova's training camp and observed
that better match than Nova and
Baer would have been Galento and
Baer.
That's right" said Joe, and I
offered Baer $4,000 for his end for
a fight under Muggsy Taylor's pro-
motion in Philadelphia, but he
wouldn't take it."
He took the Nova fight instead" +"
Tony said, He wanted no part of
me and took Nova because he
thought Lou would be a soft touch
for him. But you wait and see
Nova won't be any softer for him
than I would have been. He can't
hit as hard as can, but he hits
oftener."

Novu's Lack of Class
Bad News for Louis
By GRANTLAND RICE,


NEW YORK, June 5 (NANA0.-
The glummest spectator at the
Nova -Baer fight must have been
Joe Louis. Before the fight Louis
and Tony Galento were introduced
and everybody laughed. Then came
the fight, the complete obllteration
of Baer and the confirmation of a
rather general suspicion that, while
Nova may be ready for Louis some
day, he isn't ready for him now.
Galento a laughing stock-Baer
gone-Nova year OF so aWay-the
outlook isn't bright for rich har-
vest of gold for the champion with
in the next few months. The Ga
lento fight may draw as novelty
act. If Nova is projected into a
September match with Lou!s-even
though he doesn't rate 1.-THE bout
may pull a few kopecks into the till.
But the million dollar gate is long
way off agaln-and with million
dollar fighter at the head of the
heavyweight division.
There is, of course, Bob Pastor.
Pastor once fought 10 rounds with
Louis, outwitted him, eluded him
and at the time. did greater damage
to his reputation than Max Schme-
ling did when he knocked him out.
Since then, however, Louis has come
on amazingly and Pastor, while WIN
ming his fights. has failed to i'm
press anybody as dangerous op-
ponent for the Bomber. 1t is doubt
full if he could beat Nova-although
that would be a good match.
