M'COY LOSES
 CHAMP PIONSH|P
 TO NATE MANN
Bostonian Given But Two Rounds - Decision Un-
 pOpular--5 Rounds Even

New Haven, Conn.,, June 27-(UP) Heavyweight Nathan Mann, Ham, den, was b-ck on the comeback trail today after winning tho New England heavyweight champion ship from title-holder Al Mccoy Boston, in gruellipg 12-round bout here last night.
 More than $500 fans stood and booed the referees decision. His scorecard gave Mccoy only two rounds, Mann five, and the remain der he declared even. However ringsiders believed McCoy's final rush in the 11th and 18th rounds gave him the edge over the husky Hamden heavy, once knocked out by Joe Louis. Mann weighed 191, Mccoy 183 Ia.
 Marty Krompier, Mann's manager whose license has been revoked, was in the Arena but did not appear in the fighters dressing room or cor ner. State Athletic Commissioner Frank s. Coskey threatened to ar- rest him if he did.
 Repercussion
 A month ago, at Bridgeport, Mc- Coy was awarded a two-round tech- nical knockout over Mann in a fight which ended ir virtual riot. Mann's seconds were accused of vii plating the boxing statutes in the second round when Mann was felled four times.
 Last night, Mann looked slow He hit the harder blows, though, and once, in the 10th round, he caught Mccoy with a right while the Bos- ton fighter was off balance, and dropped him for two-count.
 Mccoy outgeneraled his opponent during the early rounds; Mann made a comeback between the fifth and ninth rounds; and it seemed that Mccoy took over the lead for the last three rounds.
 However, the referees card de- clared the final two rounds, in which Mccoy appeared to pound Mann all over the ring, even-ste- phen.

YANKEES LOSE
 UNDER LIGHTS
Pippen Holds Champs to 4 Hits and Wins 3=2 on
 Ex=FOOtballer's Bat
By GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent

New York, June 27.-OP)-The old cry, Break up the Yankees" to- day gave way to, Get the Yankees under the arc lights"
 The Athletics may have finally found the Tanks Achilles heel last night in Philadelphia when they beat the world champions, 3-2, be- fore 33,074 customers. It was the first night game the Yanks have ever played and they weren't any part of a raging cyclone.
 Henry Pippen, who pitched for Sacramento (Pacif1c Coast league) last season, set the champs down with four hits to win his first Amer ican league game after five straight defeats.
 Big Box Office
 It was the Athletics first noc- turnal trump in five attempts, and their largest crowd of the season for a day or night game. For the five games the As have played under the lights, they've drawn 90,- 072, only about 16,000 short of what they've attracted for 16 daytime games.
 The Tanks had the lead twice but couldn't hold it. Dickey's double and Gordon's single scored a run but Bump Hadley walked three men and the As tied it on Eric Tipton's sacrifice fly. Then Selkirk's triple and wild pitch made it 2-1 for the Tanks. The As tied it again in the seventh and won out in the eighth. Dee Miles single and two walks filled the sacks, and again Tipton drove out sacrifice fly which pro- duced the winning marker. Hadley allowed only four hits but he walk ed six men to Pippen's one.
 Gehringer Wins
 Slamming out IS hits, the Detroit Tigers climbed to third place by de- feating Cleveland, 11-2. Earl Averill ex-Indian, cracked a double and two singles. Charlie Gehringer's double with the bases loaded in the seventh was the blow which broke Mel Hard- CTS back. Tommy Bridges. although duoWuuS II ultS, WSut tllc. IOute tC score his 10th triumph.
 OF Man Nose Grove was in rare form as he pitched the Red Sox to 80 victory over the Senators. He gave up only seven hits in notch- ing his seventh triumph. Ted Will Hams, Red Sox rookie outfielder, hit a triple, two doubles and a sim gle in four times at bat.
 There were no National league games scheduled.
 YESTERDAYS HERO Henry Pippin, Athletics tall right-hander who won his first American league game by holding the Yankees to four hits as the As won, 3-2.

|Dougwino Meets
 Tough Foe In Bobby Cummings

With one boy making the second appearance of his career in a local ring, and his main bout opponent never having shown here before, the Johnny Dougwillo- Bobby Cummings six round professional bout which tops the Waterbury A. 0. program Thursday is really something to look forward to, on the basis of what Dougwillo showed last week and his opponent, Cummings did the week before.
 Dougwillo, good boxer, and fair ly hard puncher got of the floor to defeat Joe T'riano of Naugatuck last week, after being on the verge of a knockout. Cummings gave Dick Tur- cote a whale of a battle at New Haven before losing the nod, two rounds on low fouls, and cutting Turcotte's eyebrow so badly that he has not boxed since. Dick will prob- ably meet the winner of the Doug- wi,lo-C Cummings go next week.
 Promising
 The attraction among the anna teur bouts is the return go featuring Joe Wallace, the walloping Wolcott farmer boy and Billy Perrin, the Bristol battler, and ex-state middle champion stopped by Wallace here, but winner over him in New Haven thereafter. This is their third and deciding fight, and from what they showed the last time out, it should be worth while watching. Then again, Wallace's last go here went less than a round when his eye brow was cut last week and his handler, Joe Mobile stopped the bout immediately by jumping into the ring.
 Other fighters from Marlboro, Mass, Windsor Locks and Bridge port will be on the card, as well as Naugatuck's new heavyweight novice Joe Morelli.

Louis In Two; Galento To Go
BY JOHN A. CLUNEY

It would be a crying shame if Antonio Domenico Galento, the beer barrel that walks like a man spoiled all that nice "build-up" by going less than the two rounds ex- pected of him tomorrow night when he tries to take the heavy weight boxing championship of the world of the noble dome of Joe Louis Barrow, the Alabama cotton picker who proved once again what a great country we are privileged to live in, by punch- ing his way from automobile lenders to the position of half- millionaire within three years.
 They've done everything but bring the Worlds Fair trylon and perisphere into the publicity pie ture to increase the "gate" to- morrow night, though I think thousands will listen to Tony drop with dull "thud" through the loud speakers in their homes. The odds" have been reduced from 10 to 1 to to |. That's supposed to be "break" for Galento, who "trained" for this fight. Louis says: He's tough" Galento says: "I'n stop him in five rounds. (He may, at that if he butts him with his head)
 And now, that the eve of the fight is here and the unbelievable is about to happen Ca third rate, fat, blubbery bar-room fighter who showed in Waterbury 12 years ago, getting a chance to lift the heavyweight title) it has not come to pass that Galento would fight on a winner take all" basis as they did in the dear old bare knuckle days, particularly if Louis is the "bum" that Galento has been calling him for two years. He may wind up in the hospital for that.

| Joe Jacobs Has Two ''New'' Ideas For Louis Tony Go
No Fair Pushing Champ Back Into Ring Says
 BallyhOOist
By HARRY FERGUSON limited Press Shorts EditOr)

New York, June 27-(UP)-YusSel- the Muscle Jacobs, minister of prop aganda and public enlightenment for Tony Galento, announced today that anybody who catches Joe Louis on the fly or the first bounce when he is knocked over the ropes tomor- row night will risk the full penalty of the law.
 The propaganda minister said he would appear before the New York boxingfi commission and ask for a special statute making it a mis- demeanor for any newspaperman in the working press section to assist Louis back into the ring.
 'The reporters should not pick Louis up, they should not shove him back into the ring" said the propa- ganda minister. "They should just let him roll"
 Sunstroke?
 Yussel-the-Musc was wearing a white tropical helmet when he de- livered that 'ukase, but several of his listeners suspected that the sun had got through the helmet and "tetched him in the haid." For the odds continued to favor Louis at 6 to and there seemed to be gen. eral suspicion around town that if anybody was going to get belted over the ropes it would be Signor Galen- to. But the propaganda minister in- sisted he was serious and pointed to historic precedents:
 Newspaper writers pushed Demp- sey back into the ring when he fought Firpo and lost the fight for Firpo," the muscle announced. "They also pushed Al Ettore back in the ring when Galento knocked him through the ropes two years ago."
 The propaganda minister, propa- gandizing very fast indeed now that the fight is only two sundowns away, then came up with another idea. He said he would carry into the ring a set of scales, approved and sealed by the department of weights and measures of the city of New York, to use in weighing the gloves worn by the gladiators. The Muscle is haunted by vague fears, he said. that Louis will get a light, thin set of gloves and that Galento will receive pair of feather beds.
 With that, the propaganda minis ter retired to quiet corner to think. More later.
 Record K. O.?
 Meanwhile, there was silence very ominous silence--from the Joe Louis camp, and there was consider able speculation on whether the Brown Bomber had grown weary of having Galento call him e bum. If he has, Louis very likely will try to break par on Galento. par being Q knockout in the first round. The present course record is held by Max schmeling. who went down under Louis fists in two minutes. four seconds.
