Apostolic WANTS
QUICK ACTION
WITH BILL CONN
FIOOred Three Times, Win.
ner Comes on to Beat
MeIiO Bettina
BY JACK CUDDY
United Press staff Correspondent

UNITED Press Stan Correspondent
New York, Jan. 6-(UP)-Fred
Apostoli says, "It's Billy Conn In a
hurry or the sticks"
What Apostol means is this: he
figures his upset victory last night
over Melio Bettina, former light
heavyweight champion, at Madison
Square Garden, entities him to o
quick title shot at Conn, current
light heavyweight champion.
And If Conn will not grant Apos-
toll this title shot, the nard-hitting
Italian from San Francisco will
start taking bouts Of lesser import
anoe around the country.
Apostoli and his manager, Larry
White, believe Frisco Fred deserves
o title shot because OF his uneX-
pected l2-round decision last night
over Bettina. Manager White says,
"Apostoli did something that no one
else ever accomplishments that
includes Conn. He floored Bettina
for the count Of nine In the 10th
round. Conn went 80 rounds with
Bettina and never had him on the
floor"
okayl But why shouldn't Apostoll
next tangle with Gus LesneVich Of
New Jersey to prove his rights TO
O shot at Conn's title?
Pilot White says, Were not In
terested In Lesnevich. Promoter
Mike Jacobs assured us that II
Apostoli beat Bettina, he would be
given o title shot ct Conn. It doesn' =
matter 10 US that the odds were 9-5
and 81 against Fred when he
started TO flght Bettlna last night"
Apostolic won the l2-round decl-
sion last night after rising from
the floor three times In the flrst
three rounds. Frisco Fred took no
count In the first round, nine In
the second and nine In the third,
Although Apostoli floored Bettina
In the 10th, he won O split decision
after O close, slam-bang brawl, In
which Referee Johnny McAvoy and
Judge Artie Me0oVern voted for the
Californian, and Judge Charlie
Draycott ballotted for o draw.
Ringside score sheets OF the bards
OF biff were In disagreement. But
virtually oil admitted that Bettiha
could have lost the fight because
of his holding tactics In the last
four rounds, when he elamped elbow
locks, ETC., on Apostolic TO prevent
n possible kayo. This holding caused
little MeAvoy, the referee, to do
more work than either fighter.
