I pick Bob Pastor.
Don't ask me why I like Pas
tor over Billy Conn, because
choosing between them Is like
naming the more handsome Of
Siamese twins, or selecting
which pea in a pod is most
likely to succeed.

Then there Is the matter of
speed Conn is faster than a
whippet late for supper. and
Pastor is only a shade less
speedy with his hands and feet.
There is nothing to choose be-
tween the courage of the Pitts
burgh Adonis and the New
Yorker. Conn has proved in a
score of fights that he has his
fun share of fighting heart. and
one had only to see Pastor get
off the floor four times In the
first round of his Detroit bout
with Joe Louis to know that
there is no chicken" in his
makeup.
So, why do I like Pastor7

because l feel that Pastor is the
smarter of the two. Not smarter
in book learning, but smarter
In the ways OF the ring. The

It no longer seems to be a ques-
ton of whether Seattle will win
the Pacific Coast league pennant,
but rather a question Of how wide
margin.
The Rainiers have a is game
edge on the second place Oakland

Sacramento's Cardinals.
Oakland, on the other hand,
has another tough customer In

NEW YORK-Two young men

by Joe Louis next month.
Billy Conn, light heavyweight
champion of the world and the
fanciest boxer In. the business, is
an 8 to 5 favorite over Bob Pastor.
Just why the odds are to 5 is
hard to explain because this one
looks closer than a vest to a shirt.

The lack of interest in the fight
has spread over New York like
fog off the Hudson. Neither Conn
nor Pastor could punch his way
through a lace curtain and at the
gate they still pay off on the old
sockeroo. Only one segment of
the population is excited-the old
time boxing fans who like to see
