Conn Decisions
Lesl,e'vich in
Title Defense

DETROIT. June 6. oUPl-Billy
Conn. after defending his light
heavy crown against Gus Lesne-
vich last night was in the market
today for some extra weight and
q glove with a brickbat tip
The poundage is incidental but
the glove with a good stiff jolt is
vital if he expects to get past Bob
Pastor or Lee Savold. one of whom
he will face in his first step toward
Heavyweight Champion Joe Louis.
Last night before a crowd of co.'s
at Olympia Stadium, Conn would
have given anything for knockout
punch. He had everything else-full
command OF boxing science. perfect
condition and the craze to win
but as he said in his dressing room
after the fight:
Il was trying for a knockout in
those last two rounds but I couldn't
hit him hard enough
In the last two rounds Conn hit
the New Jersey challenger with
everything except the water buck
ct. He pumped left and right hooks
into the fading Lesnevich until
both were slipping and sliding into
the ropes He popped a countless
string of left jabs until the eyes Of
the challenger were nearly swollen
shut. He had the crowd on its feet
for knockout, but he
couldn't deliver.

December. It's the one time the
lake ice is frozen deep enough to
hold up marching columns. At
other times, an invading army
could be cut up, and its units
beaten by guerillas.
Dame Nature almost beat the
Russians, because she sent the
worst package of weather in so
years to northern Europe.
In Scandinavia, the Germans
are playing the weather to the
hilt, and the law of averages, too.
Usually, the fog closes in 40
percent of the time along the
coast of Norway at this time of
year. Add to that some 10 hours
of darkness in every "a, and you
have increased hiding time for
German transports and naval units
perhaps up to 60 percent of the
time.
That's just what the Germans
want to slip past the British fleet.
German ships navigate along the
Norwegian coast only during fog
or darkness. When the weather
clears they hide in fjords.
