q gifl-Ifish Billy Conn makes
an about attempt tonight to
win the world heavyweight
championship from mighty Joe
Louis.
Romance WA added 20 this
Polo grounds drama OF blood
and canvas with a last-minute
Pittsburgh announcement that
the father Of Billy's fiance, Mary
Louise Smith, was objecting
vehementiy 10 their marriage
plans.
Handsome Billy politely re-
fused to discuss the affair. but
a member Of his encourage said:
Regardless Of the Pittsburgh
story. those parental objections
will end quickly If Billy wins the
Iitle-which he surely will"
Betting men were not 90 con-
fident OF this happy ending. The
price favoring Louis heightened

might be 81 when thes hard
hitting Detroit Negro and
smaller Conn enter the ring for
their 15-round battle.

He estimated that the gate
would range between 1915, 900

the largest fight crowd and gate
since the Louis-Max Schmeling

Despite the betting odds, 1t is
extremely uncertain what will
happen after Billy-the-Kid and

the square of brilliant light.
The bout may end in the first
round with Conn in the resin. Or
