Fight Is Johnny's First

CHICAGO. June 5.-Heavyweieht
Johnny Paychek of Des Moines has
been kayoed only once in his career,
but he got more headlines out Of
that one incident than out of all
his other fights combined.
Tonight Paychek makes his first
ring appearance on the comeback
trail-his first effort to redeem him.
self since Champion Joe Louis fiat
tened him in the second round two
months Ago,
His opponent, Altus Allen, young
Chicago Negro, turned pro several
months after winning the light
heavy championship in the inter-
national Golden Gloves matches in
1899 The battle is set for 10 rounds
in the Coliseum.
Paychek, like Allen. got his anna
teur training in Golden Gloves COM
petition, in which he won the heavy
weight title. The fight figures to
60 the distance. since neither fighter
is known as hard hitter, although
both have shown flashes of sharp
boxing ability.
Paychek should have about four

The battle, last indoor show of

Conn., Coin Main Goal, Turning
To Heavy Ranks After Bout
With Lesnevich Tonight

will make his third defense of the
l75-pound championship tonight his
last. Hereafter, Conn says, he will
campaign among the big boys for
better or for worse.
Conn. who climbed to the cham
pionship only II months ago, meets
a man he has already conquered
Gus Lesnevich of Chffside Park.
N. J. They fight over the l5-round
route at Olympia indoor stadium and
Co-promoters Mike Jacobs and John
Nelson talk of a turnout of 10000
customers and gate receipts of
around $4,000. The threat of con-
tinued hot weather caused the pro-
moters to revise downward their
original estimate of a S50,0OO gate.
Growing Heavier Steadily.
The charm of coin is not Conn S
only reason for quitting as the 18th
lght-heavyweight champion in his
tory. In recent months the 6 foot
l inch battler has filled out physical
ly and appears destined to grow into
full-f1edged heavyweight.
The ballyhoo for tonight's fight
has been concerned not with the
engagement at hand but with the
possibility of bout between either
Conn or Lesnevich and Heavyweight
Champion Joe Louis in Detroit in
September.
In fact the publicity about Conn
growing up became so heavy that
John J. Hettche. chairman of the
Michigan Boxing Commission.
feared the fight might wind up as
an overweight match and insisted
upon each battler posting a s25O0
weight guarantee bond. They weigh
in at l pm. tE. S. IT,, and train
ers of champion and challenger say
their men will scale under the 175-
pound limit.
Following Lead of Others.
Conn will not be the first light
heavyweight to quit his title for
competition among the heavy
weights, but precedent is against
his chances for success.
Georges Carpenter, Jack Delaney
and Tommy Loughran are among
the men who found the heavy
weight division no soft touch after
mopping up in their own class.
Conn, who won the title from
Melio Bettina last July 13, came
with a rush in the closing rounds
to beat Lesnevich in New York last
November IT. At that time Les
nevich had not fought for nearly
six months, and his followers blamed
his defeat on lack of endurance
and sense of pace.
Both Conn and Lesnevich have
fought but once this year. Gus made
his Detroit debut on January l by
winning a hair-line decision from
Dave Clark, Detroit Negro. Conn
won an overweight match from
Henry Cooper at New York on
January 10.
The fighters will enter the ring
at $50 pm. (E. 8. TJ.

in the fourth, salving the sting OF
his previous failures.
His Confidence an Asset.
There is nothing timid in Jimmys
behavior. He has more than
sneaking suspicion he's good, but
that touch of ego hasn't harmed
him. It's refreshing in sense be-
cause he isn't as likely to become as
surly and doWncast as most players
in slump.
If Jimmy hits less than 280 this
season but continues to wallop run
ners home at his present pace the
Mats may discover he was a handy
guy to have around despite his
numerous flaws.
Walter Masterson, withheld from
action in yesterdays double-header
at Griffith Stadium due to a heavy
cold, was to face Cleveland in the
third tiff of the four game series
today, with Joe Dobson nominated to
toll for the Indians.
Washington won the first game
70, with some concentrated hitting
and the steady pitching Of Ken
Chase, but couldn't catch the In
dians in the nightcap and lost 80.
Mats Swat Six Straight Hits.
Trailing O-1 entering their half
of the fourth inning, the Mats linked
six successive hits to produce five
runs. Jake Early drilled a double
to right after zeke Bonura grounded
out and Bloodworth, Jimmy Pofahl,
Chase, George Case and Buddy
Lewis followed with singles.
Johnny Welaj, who stole three
bases in the first game. provided
the fielding feature of the second
when he streaked back to the flag
pole in center field for a one-handed
stab of Mack's lengthy wallop lead
ing off in the fourth inning.
BY that time, though, the Indians
had nicked Joe Haynes for three
runs. all unearned due to errors by
Case and Bloodworth, and AL Smith
clung to the advantage.
Smith, who yielded the Mats
first run in the eighth on Walkers
double and a brace of infield outs,
was reached for another run in the
ninth on Cases single, Shortstop
Lou Boudreau's wild throw and
Lewis single and retired with two
out in favor of the famed Bobby
Feller. Bob pitched only to Welaj,
who forced Lewis at second to end
the game.

Jimmy, who has been swinging

As White Sox Turn
Breaks on Yunks
BY JUDSON BAILEY,
Associated Press Sports Writer,

AsSOC!dleu tIeSS opOTIS writer.
AS long as every one is certain
the New York Yankees are going
straight to their fifth consecutive
American League pennant. it may
seem time wasted to consider Cleve-
lands improved Indians.
But team with all the sterling
qualities of the Tribe deserves to get
a word in edgewise.
Cleveland was the only one of
the American League leaders to i'm
prove its position yesterday, splitting
a double header with Washington,
2-7 and 80. This mediocre feat
brought them within half a game of
the pacemaking Boston Red Sox and
perhaps served as hint of a rising
power in the junior circuit.
The tipoff on the Tribes position
lies in the record of their pitchers.
Lefty Al Smith, rescued from the
minors this spring. got credit for
the victory in the nightcap to bring
his chart to five victories and no
defeats. AL Milnar, another left
handler, has won and lost l. Bob
Feller, the nonpareil, has won 8
and lost 2.
Match Red SOx in Slugging.
Not even the Cincinnati Reds,
supposedly with the best balanced
pitching staff in the majors can
offer three such topnotch marks.
And pitching may mean the diff
ference between Cleveland and Bos-
ton. The Red Sox are renowned
sluggers But the Indians are match
ing them. The combination of Lou
Boudreau and Ray Mack is nothing
short of miraculous, and Rollie
Hemsley has settled down to be one
of the best catchers in baseball
The Red Sox were stopped, 5-3 as
the st. Louis Browns ended 7-game
losing streak. Jimmie FoXx, who had
made only single the day before,
went hitless, although Boston got
10 off Eden Auker, three more than
the Browns.
The Yankees parade was de-
toured by the lefthanded slants of
Chicago's Ed Smith and 12-hit
onslaught topped by Joe Kuhel's
10th and 1lth homers of the season
The score was 7-3
The thrd-place Detroit Tigers also
were stopped, S6, at Philadelphia
after getting four runs in the first
frame. The AS hopped on Tommy
Bridges and three successors for
clusters of runs. among them homers
by Bob johnson and Wally Moses.
Dodgers Gain on Reds.
The Cincinnati Reds skidded to
a 5-4 defeat at the hands of the
New York Giants and lost a game
of their lead over the Brooklyn
Dodgers. 1t was the fifth consecutive
triumph for Carl Hubbell. The Giants
gave their meal ticket 3-run
start in the first inning and he
managed to keep in front, although
giving II hits.
The Dodgers trounced the St.
Louis Cardinals, 10-l, in a night
game, scoring five runs in the first,
when Pete Coscarart hit home run
with two on Vito Tamulis went
the route expertly, although Joe
Medwick hit five for FIVE" including
three doubles.
The Pittsburgh Pirates reused
out of their lethargy under the lights
to crush the Boston Bees, 14-2, be-
hind the five-hit hurting of Joe
Bowman.
The Chicago Cubs amassed IS
hits in humping the Phillies, 1876
