Billy Conn To Meet Pastor In Bout Tonight

By Beating Reds, a.
Max Butcher Bests Walters
On Mound As Pirates Climb
Close To Giants

PITTSBURGH, Aug. 12.-LR-The
rampaging Pittsburgh Pirates cen
tinued their hot pace tonight by
beating the Cincinnati Reds and
Bucky Walters 4 to 2 before a wild
crowd of 42,254 fans that overlooked
into the outfield. 1t was their 18th
triumph in u games and moved
them within a game and a half of
the third-place New York Giants.
Big Max Butcher had the Reds
eating out of his hands peacefully
except fo- the fifth frame when
they punched three hits after two
were out to score a u and the
ninth when Ernie lombard knocked
a home run.
The game-deciding break came in
the seventh when Elbie Fletcher's
long fly fell into the right field
crowd for a ground rule double.
After Maurice Van Robays struck
out, Frankie Cuisine, sensational
young rookie second baseman, sent
Fletcher home with a single and
moved to second on the throw to the
plate.
Senior AL Lopez, the sparkplug in
the sudden Pirate squirt of the last
month, then singled Cuisine home.
Lopez had scored the first Buc run
in the sixth, which he opened with
a single, moved to second on Butch
er's single and counted on Paul
Waner's hit.
The fourth Pirate run was a re-
suit of Walters poor control. He
hit Deb CAIRNS and walked Fletcher.
Van Robays scored CAIRNS with a
sharp single.
The Reds scored first in the sixth.
Linus Frey doubled into the crowd
and counted on Frank McCormick's

PITTSBURGH BOXER
SLIGHT FAVORlTE
Winner Of Tonight's Match
To Get Crack At Louis
Title In September
BY SID FEEDER

NEW YORK, Aug. 12.-R-With
a September shot at Joe Louis as
the somewhat painful reward, Bill
ly Conn and Bob Pastor fight it
out in the Polo Grounds at 9 pm.
(E.S.T.) tomorrow in a b a e
bringing together the two best box
ers among the 'big" fellows in the
ring today.
AS a fight, it figures to be the
classiest exhibition of ring science
since Tommy Loughran and jim
my Slattery waged their 15-round
duel Is years ago, but the cash
customers aren't taking to it. Most
optimistic estimates are that 90
900 will contribute to a gross gate
of $50, 900.
Although Pastor went 81 rounds
with Louis before the Bomber's
depth charges exploded on him,
the betting fraternity has made
the light : heavyweight champion
from Pittsburgh the %favorite. The
odds, however, have nose : dived
steadily, and Billy the Kid prob
ably won't go into the ring at bet
ter than 5 to g., with even money a
possibility.
I like Conn to win over the full
15-round derby distance, but by a
margin as close as the American
league pennant race. Although he
will be lucky to weigh ITS, COM
pared to the 1872 pounds Pastor ex.
poets to pack, the Pittsburgh pref
ty boy is punching better than he
ever has before. And, while Pas.
tor has the experience against
heavyweights which Billy lacks,
Conn has been taking on speed.
This will be the 58th bout OF
Conn's skyrocketing career, which
doomed him in five years from the
f%our-round ranks of the light.
weights, to a real spot in the sun.
This factor, alone, gives Pastor
an added incentive. In the past he
has liked nothing better than tc
upset the applicant wherever il
concerned a heavyweight cham.
pionship hopeful. Tomorrow
nights party will be his 50th fight,
He has lost only fve-two to Louis.
If Conn wins, his get-togethe1
with the Brown Bomber in Sep
TENDER will be either here or in
Pittsburgh.
Promoter Jacobs has decided to
stage a third Pastor-Louis fight,
if Bobby hits the jackpot tomor-
row, either in Chicago, Washing.
ton, or in Detroit, where Bobby
went II rounds with the heavy
weight boss last September before
the roof fell in on him.
Supporting the main 60 r four
preliminary bouts with Steve Bel
loise, solid-slugging Bronx middle
weight contender, and Augie Arel-
lano of Texas tangling in h e
eight-round feature. If Belloise
trounces the Texan, he will meet
Ceferino Garcia, former New York
and California recognized middle
weight champion, here this fall. l

him tonight.
Fair-Haired Boy
But because Conn is a very saw
age fighter with a very impressive
record so far against lighter op-
ponents and mainly because he's
Irish and one white hope" that
hasn't fought Louis yet, he's the
fair.haired boy for the evening.
Tonight's battle should be a good
one. If it goes the route we be-
Iieve Conn will get the decision
and if Billy can stay out OF Pas
tors way for the first six rounds
he'll win one way or another.
Which is hedging about the WIN
ner but a good way not to lose any
dough on the outcome.
How They Hit
There are four teams in the
American league who h a as
many as five players hitting above
the 300 mark, and right nov mel
Their of these teams are holding
