NEW YORK. June l8.-R:lly
Conn, fugitive from a Buster Brown
collar, will put aside his plavtoys
tonight and HE himself to real
grown-up party at the Polo Grounds,
where he meets ice Louis III
scheduled l5-round bout for the
heavyweight championship of the
world
Actually. the cockr Pittsburgh
stoker will be ettendir2 his first
meeting of the celebrated Bum of
the Month Club, but with typical
Conn confidence cX~ccts to be
elected president on the first ballot.
This would be strictly against rar-
liamentary procedure as prac+iCed
by the present incumbent ano con-
trary to better judgment of the
sporting gentry. which has Lstab-
lished Louis the favorite, but the
youthful ward-healer has his VIC
tory speech already written.
The customers soft sentiment will
be with Conn, but not tlieir hard
cash. That goes on the champ who
seems to be a good investment, as
sound as a defense bord But the
fans can't help liking Billy because
they know he'll have to be carried
out of the ring on a shutter if he
loses. He won't quit; he il give
them good, hard gallop for their
money.
History Against Challenger.
History is against the verbose
challenger and history has habit
Of repeating. Four light-heavy =
weight champions have challenged
for the heavyweight diadem and

appear to be strong enough to shat
ter this precedent,
Philadelphia Jack OBrien was
the first to try to oust the champ
upstairs, in this case Tommy Burl.s.
but had to be satisfied with 20
round draw. Georges Carpenter
made mighty effort to unhorse
Jack Dempsey in their epic duel at
Boyle's 80 Acres in 1921 but, after
giving the champ a brisk belt on
the whiskers, himself was chilled.
Georges was a good boxer, clever
song and dance man and hand
some devil to boot, but he didn't
have the old persuader in his mitt
and the lack of a punch beat him
just as most experts figure it'll beat
Conn.
After him came Tommy Lough-
ran, an artist with the big gloves,
to challenge ponderous Primo Car
nera at Miami Thomas was TALL
courageous and possessed of a jab
as cutting as back-fense gossip
while Da Preem was big, awkward
and not exactly Phi. D. in the Sec
ond story. He couldn't punch
either, but his Sunday sock was bet
ter than Loughran's and, combined
with his huge bulk, it was sufficient
to stave off Tommy's challenge.
The last light-heavy to reach for
all the marbles was John Henry
Lewis, another cutie who mopped
up everything in his class and went
hunting for Louis. He found him,
unfortunately, one night in Mad
ison Square Garden, and it was
soon after the first bell Changed that
the broom and bucket brigade
marched in and swept up the pieces.
They say John Henry never did find
that last particle of chin.

him and physically inferior to his
opponent. Conn must take his
chances against a puncher hailed

Snaky Tribe
As and Mats Seen as
Soft Spot Between
Yankee and Bosox
BY JUDSON BAILEY,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

This is the only Eastern trip all
season in which the Cleveland
Indians do not have to tackle the
dangerous New York Yankees and
Boston Red Sox in succession.
The schedule for this particular
jaunt has the Tribe travelling from
New York to Philadelphia to Wash
ington to Boston-Manage Roger
Peckinpaugh is mighty happy
man about it today.
The Indians lost three straight in
New York to the Yankees. saw their
American League lead shaved to a
single game, and were staggering on
the edge of precipice when they
left the big town. They probably
would have been easy prey for the
roaring Red SoX.
Instead they got breathing spell
last night against the Athletics.
Although it was what might be
termed a short breath, they came
out with 80 victory and gained
another full game on the Yankees,
whose eight-game winning streak
was snapped.
Heving Wins First Start
Peckinpaugh took advantage of
the letup against the sixth-place AS
by starting husky Joe Heving on
the mound. The big right handler
is relief specialist and this was
his first start Of the season. He
had to get himself into a jam to
feel at home and did promptly
by serving up Bob Johnsons 14th
home run of the season with one
on in the first inning.
After that he allowed only seven
hits and no more runs.
The Indians wormed their way to
victory when Phil Marchildon wild
pitched the winning run across in
the eighth. Hal Trosky, who had
been in batting slump, hit homer
for one of Cleveland'S other runs.
Another benefit of this segment of
the schedule is that it will allow
Bob Feller to face every Eastern
club this trip, the first time he hes
been able to do it in regular turn
since he has been with the Tribe.
Eigney Fades in Farewell
The defeat of the Yankees was
an 81 decision handed down by
the Chicago White Sox. They
started Johnny Rigney on the
mound for his farewell pitching
appearance before being inducted
into the Army Friday He made
three hits himself and held the
Yanks to three in the first six
innings, but fell apart to give up
five runs n the seventh and eighth.
Finally, he had to be removed with
the score tied and Jack Hallett
received credit for the victory.
There were 20 hits in the game
and all of them except a homer
by Charley Keller were singles
Joe Di Maggie extended his hitting
streak to 80 games

Education Stressed
In Discussion of
Household Jobs

Education was stressed as the kew
note to the solution of the problems
of household employment in a talk
yesterday by Miss Mary Robinson of
the Woman's Bureau of the Labor
Department before members of the
Washington League of Women
Shoppers.
Miss Robinson and Mrs. Melvin
Hall addressed the first of a series of
meetings for discussion of household
employment to be held by the league
at the home of Mrs. Gardner Jack
son in Chevy Chase.
The educational program she ad-
vocated should reach not only the
employer and the employe, but the
public as well, and would prove
beneficial to all groups, Miss Robin
son said
Factors which have contributed to
problems in household employment
listed by Miss Robinson included
lack of Standardization in regard to
training facilities and occupational
requirements, lack of understanding
of the situation in regard to the
general labor market, lack of legal
safeguards for workers and lack of a
co-ordinated program, both locally
and nationally.
A desirable program would have as
principal features, she said, the edu-
cation of the public in regard to the
position of household employment in
the occupational setup, the attrac-
ton of desirable recruits, a carefully
co-ordinated program of training for
both employers and employees, the
development of satisfactory stand
ards as to hours, wages and working
conditions, scientific placement Of
workers with an adequate follow-up
system Of adjustment, health meas
ures to protect both employers and
employees and legal safeguards for
workers.
Mrs. Hall discussed vocational
schools and training facilities for
household workers in the District.
