Conn Not Seen Ready for Louis
Fight Despite K. 0. of Pastor
Tainted by BiVy's Foul Blows

18th to Pastor for the same cause
had the fading Bob been able to
rise.
The Associated Press score card
gave Conn eight of the IL rounds
before the knockout, and two of
those-the eighth and 12th-were
gifts because of Conn's wayward
punches.
Pastor went down for the first
time in the ninth from a short left
to the face, and he had taken the
count of seven when the bell rang.
In the 18th Conn clipped him with
the best blow of the fight. a steam
ing right to the chin which sent
Pastor through the ropes. He took
nine before bouncing upon rubber
legs. He won that round anyway on
a foul.
The end came after 2:54 of the
18th and it came with a barrage of
body blows, Pastor folding over like
a sack of oats at the final punch.
The ending was greeted by a
mixed chorus of booes and cheers by
the crowd, which paid S49,415 to see
the show. There was no doubt as to
who was winning the fight up to
that time, but some of the fans
didn't like that last punch. Neither
did Pastor.
Johnson says he will file a protest
with the State Athletic Commission
next Monday on the grounds that
Conn was warned three times for
low punching before the knockout.

1t wasn't that the sharpshooting

Louis, although the knockout was

BY BURTON HAWKINS.

Mr.. Clark Griffith, who frequently
has been accused of boarding what
ever portion of the Nations cur
rency he has been fortunate enough
to accumulate. has been downright
generous in at least one instance
this season. Pitcher Sid Hudson of
the Nationals will testify the en-
thusiastic old gentleman isn't keep
ing a chain around his wallet.
Griff has presented the elongated
Hudson. top rookie hurler of the
year, with two new contracts. When
Sid was being plastered repeatedly
earlier in the season and owned a
record of two victories and nine de-
feats, Griffith called him into his
Office. tore up his first contract with
the Mats, and gave him raise.
Sid started to win after that and
he continued to win. So, several
weeks later, Griff ordered him into
the Office again and gleefully hoisted
his salary second time. They were
nice gestures, not dictated by any
clause in Hudsons original contract.
He has been misunderstood on oc-
caSionS, but Griff at least has been
more than fair the past two years.
Last year he gave Pitcher Ken
Chase a bonus of $1,000 after the
semi-bald southpaw had won only
10 games and lost 19 for the Mats.
