Today's Sport Parade

tho ninth, tenth, eleventh and twelfth rounds, Conn was on the march and Louis was in full retreat, Everything that Conn had waited for all these years seemed within hls reach--$lS0 suits, fast automo- biles, c home for the girl he hopes to marry. All he had to do was keep jabblng, keep elreling and keep say. ing, "joe, I got yu."
 The irony of the ending was that Conn, the smart guy, was out- smarted. Maybe not by Louis, but certainly by canny old Jack Black burn, Joo'S trainer, who hung hia razor scared face over the apron of the ring and saw things not vis- ible to tho eyes of men who were standing on their seats yelling and telling ono another that tho heavy- weight championship of the world was about to pass hands, Blackburn saw that Conn waS getting too con. hdent and to oeAgor, that he Wa6 missing with his left now and then and leaving his jaw wide open ca c mining camp on Saturday night, Between the 18th and i3th rounds Blackburn whispered the words Louis nodded.
 Came the 18th and Conn threw c loft hook that was six inches wide. Then tho lightning flashed and tho thunder rolled. Leuia crashed . right to the jew end Conn wobbled backward.
 "Now, now" somebody yelled in Louis corner.
 Seven punches, rights and iefts fell on ConnS jaw faster than these words can Do written. And there all of 6 sudden and to tho stunned surprise of every one except Joe Louis and Jack Blackburn, iey Conn. His great heart told him te get up, but his legs said no and kept saying no until c man in gray shouted "Ten."
 As the crowd surgod toward tho gates, c nniddlo-aged lady TO. marked: T could kiss that Billy Conn.,"

New York, June 1V-(UPl-Mike Jacobs, 0 fight promoter and Q one- time ticket broker, is reputed to have Q heart of granite and no more emotion than e eontented euttlefish idling In warm waters.
 So lt was quite a surprise Co the assembled press when he walked Into 6 dressing room in the Polo Grounds at ii;Si o'clock last night and kissed Billy Conn on the left cheek. It was . hasty, embarrassed, fatherly kiss and Uncle Mike tried to cover it up. But he couldn't and it quieted tho turmoil in that room as nothing else could have done.
 UnelO Mike was mad Ns hell when he saw everybody looking ct him, and he got madder whom Q couple of tears got loose from his eyes and started rolling, fIo leaned over quickly, whispered something to Conn and scrambled out of the Joint. I don't know what ho said, but I know what I would have said. I would have said: "Attaboy, kid"
 That's what almost everybody was saying aS they went homo under the June stars. Conn, in defeat, was their hero. He was out.weighed, out.gunned, and-believe 1t or not ---out.smarted by Joe Louis, but he gave b4,000 persons something to carry down the years, Ho gave thom tho memory of . frail Stripling who came within whisper of winning tho heavyweight championship of tho world, tho memory Of c gallant guy who lasted almost 90 minutes against the most destructive punch- or In tho business and carried the battle to him a good part of the way,
 Ther0 b one electric second of the fight that I'm slowing away among my souvenirs. It wasn't An agile piece of footwork, Q knock down or even c punch. It was four little words that Conn spoke as he raced out of his corner at the start of the ninth round and jabbed Louis on tho kisser. Conn grlnned as the jab landed, stuck his face toward Louis and said: "joe, got you"
 A baffled expression came over Louis face. He seemed almost con- vinced that Conn was speaking the truth. Then Conn set out to make good on tho boast. Ho rattled loft hooks of Louis head and jabbed the champion silly. He clreled and shot for marrow openings and never missed. On and on 1t went. Through
