Verdict 10 Conn
Over Louis Due
On His Speed
But Joe Is Majority
Choice for Triumph
With Quick Koyo
BY SID FEEDER,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

NEW YORK, June 16-For the
first time since Joe Louis began to
chop down assorted heavyweight
stock and carve it into convenient
sizes, the folks have changed their
tune from I'VE believe you" to you
gotta show us"
A majority of them still think
he's going to belt Billy Conn around
in the Polo Grounds Wednesday
night and brush off the 18th chal-
lenge to his heavyweight crown A
crowd of some 10000 will watch the
fun after contributing to a neat
gate of $500,000 or so.
But as Louis and the cocky kid
from Pittsburgh polished up their
shots and their speed today in final
brief sparring sessions at their train
ing camps, even some of Joe's boost
ers we're willing to acknowledge for
the first time that he won't have
any minutes to waste doing it on
this occasion.
Joe Must Score Early.
They know that his best chance
of knocking the stuffling out of the
Smoky City's glamor boy lies in
catching Conn before he's warmed
up No one knows that better than
the Bomber himself.
All his training has been pointed
toward a repetition of the fast fox
trot he put in on Max Schmeling
in their second fight. He has con-
centrated all his sparring along one
line-rushing his punch-absorbers
INTO a corner and then dealing dyna-
mite off his right arm.
He has told his corner Just that.
Yet I don't think he'll catch the
little man that quickly or with one
punch. That's why I pick Conn to
win the dicision. thus becoming the
10th ruler since Sullivan in the
royal heavyweight line.
But although he has slowed way
down since the night he sent Der
Moxie to hospital in 212 minutes,
and his guns no longer pack the
shells they once loaded, it is con-
ceivable that Joe may still be red
hot and rarin' for this one effort.
He still can hurt any man he hits.
but if he let's Conn escape for as
much as five rounds, the chances
are he can cash in his checks.
Conn Good Judge of Pace.

written and shouted about Buly's
habit of getting underway too slowly
and burning up the road once he
shifts to high, there has been little
made of the fact that he's the snap
piest judge of pace anywhere along
Bash boulevard.
He insists it wasn't a case of not
being able to get off faster in his
past parties with Fred Apostoli,
Melio Bettina, Lee Savold and Bob
Pastor.
Il could have let go any time from
the first minute" he says. But
took things easy until I was good
and warm. Then l poured it to
'em. didn't I? And, while was lay
ing back waiting. what did those
guys do? They punched themselves
out, so I had a soft touch in the
last seven or eight rounds each time
Il know just how fast I have to
go, and that's how fast I'll go against
Joe. I'm cinch to win the decision.
Why, he's just another guy named
Joe now"
