Believe Conn,
Without Punch,
To Win Fight
Liken Billy
To John Lewis,
Who Lost

When Joe Louis faces Billy Conn,
Pittsburgh Adonis, he'll be facing
man possessing many OF the
characteristics OF one OF his pre-
vious opponents John Henry
Lewis.
Conn Is very clever boxer. a
good ring general. and is former
interchangeable champion. Lew
is, who was also a former light
heavyweight champion. was SUI
perior 10 Conn as boxer and ring
general. He was considered one OF
the craftiest men ever 10 hold the
INTERCHANGEABLE title.
Louis met his lighter opponent.
John Henry Lewis, in January OF
1888 and disposed OF the Pittsburgh
battler in one round. Lewis was
never able 10 regain his top ability
after the beating given him by
Louis.
The question now before Louis
and his handlers is: will he he able
10 dispose OF Conn as easily as he
did Lewis. There are may who
think he will not. Conn. naturally.
Is included in the latter group.
The Pittsburgh Adonis believes
his boxing ability will enable him
To decision Louis in the 15-round
bout scheduled for June IL in Yam
kee Stadium New York. And since
his technical eight-round knockout
OF Buddy Knox two weeks ago.
Conn has convinced himself that he
has the power 10 stop Louis.
But can good little man beat
good big man.
That's one OF the questions which
has been bobbine up and down
through the history OF boxing. or
course there were men like Sam
1Angford. Joe Wolcott and others
who chopped big men down 10 their
size. But they were the exceptions.
Although It is generally agreed
that Conn Is an excellent boxer.
fight experts. in the majority OF in
stances. are not willing 10 concede
him the victory. Notwithstanding
his pre-fght talk. They believe he
is without sufficient heavy punch
ing power TO stop the attack OF the
heavyweight champion.
The experts point to the Louis
Lewis fight in which good boxer
was unable TO stand M under the
heavy bombardment OF the champ
ion. They think Conn will go the
way OF Lewis
