SAVOLD PROVES EASY VICTIM OF
 GOWNS CLASS
'Pll Box His Ears Off, " Says Billy When Asked
 About Louis
By HARRY FERGUSON (United Press Sports Editorl

New York, Nov. 3O-UP)-Lee Savold, a pleasant young man from Des MoineS, got paid $5,O0O for talk ing 8 boxing lesson last night in Madison Square Garden. It's nice work if you can get it, and for rates apply to Prof. Billy Conn, General Delivery, Pittsburgh, Pa.
 Prof. Conn began with the rudi- ments of the left jab, worked into the technique of footwork, demon- strated the left hook to head and body and then wound up with a classic exhibition of how to slip across a foul punch Savold took it. Took it for 12 long, dullish rounds and lost the decision.
 Thirteen thousand persons paid $31,170 to watch the boys who were gunning for chance at Joe Louis heavyweight title. A wee bit sur- feited by now with Prof. Conn's pedagogly, they let out listless boos occasionally, because Savold had come out of the corn belt with the reputation of being a killer-diller puncher. Somewhere along the line from Des Moines he forgot the fun damental fact that he had two arms.
 The result was that he didn't throw a right hand punch until the eighth round and then it was much, much too late. Savold did everything wrong. Being puncher, he should have slugged Instead he tried to a Oayy, r1d a ture equivalent to lying down on a railroad track just before the Twen- tieth Century Limited comes round the bend.
 Flashy
 For Conn was his usual dazzling self last night, flashing the best left in the business, moving in like a cat, hitting fast and hard coming out of clinches and sliding easily out of trouble when pinned against the ropes. Savold, peering out of a bloody eye, made futile, bewildered attempts to land blows, but the will o-the-wisp was always a step and a half ahead of him.
 Conn won the first nine rounds on the United Press score sheet, and then decided to try out his punch. He mixed it with Savold in the tenth and took stiff left that brought blood to his nose. Savol d won that round, but in the 11th Conn took command again. Savold won the 18th and last one when Billy threw left hook below the belt line.
 Sitting in the dressing room after the fight, Conn clamored for shot at Louis.
 T know I can take him." Billy said. T got it figured out this way. won't try to mix it with him like did with Savold tonight. I'll make Louis come to me and when he does I'll box his ears off"
 He was asked whether he would like to take on Maxie Baer.
 Sure" Conn said. Any of those heavyweights with reputation. l can outbox any of 'em."
 Billy came in last night at 174A pounds, and it appears now that he never will weigh much more than that.

LOOKING at Kit Reilly, Mana
Harris wished that Kit haC not led
such a starved life. She could see
what success ard emotion would
DO to her, but she said, Just as

thing you do is done with the
thought that your career comes

And you'll have to learn to dis
cipline yourself. That's the hard
part. You'll have money and time
for pleasures, but you can't af-

were other things that Mana was
going to say, but she saw that she
could not pierce the radiant Won

to more practical things:
Have you thought about . man.
ager? An agent? A coach? A
press agent?"
Kit looked properly appalled,.
DO l really have to have all those
things?"
You do. You can't get along
without them and you won't like
them, but you'll have to have
them. They'll direct your whole life
for you. You'll sing and study and
rest and perform as the strings
are manipulated for you by this
staff. You see, you are now 2 valu-
able piece Of public property and,
as such, you'll be guarded and
nourished and protected as long as

Singing is a risky business.
And, at best in any career girls

than a sea Of smiling faces across

But a career doesn't shut out
marriage" Kit protested.
Mana shrugged her shoulders. u
wouldn't advise you not to marry,
but would advise you to put it off
for little while until you orientate
yourself to this new career, Kit
Reilly. Marriage is a business all
its own which a woman usually
doesn't hare well with a Job like

She had finished with that dis
closure and drew on her gloves.

Kit said, Thanks more than /

said gruffiy, Forget it. I'm on my
way out and you're on your way
up. Come along. l want to stop at
the arranger's department for a
moment to pick up some music. I'll
meet you at the elevator"
From where she stood waiting
for Mana, Kit could see a door
marked: ANNOUNCERS.
When Mana joined her, Kit said
dreamily, What would you do if
there were a man you wanted to
see and you didn't know how to go
about letting him know that you
wanted to see him?"
IF there were a man that /
wanted to see that badly, Mana re-
