THEN CAME DARKNESS;
WANTS ANOTHER MATCH
tsrecial to The citi.enl

NEW YORK. June 19.-Billy
Conn from Pittsburgh today was
just another notch on the heavy
weight champions gun.
But for II rounds last night at
the Polo Grounds, he was Billy
the Kid, the boy who spotted
mighty Joe Louis Is pounds and
the fought him the way they said
it couldn't be done-battered
and dazed him at times with
blistering punches-before Louis
sent him down and out in the
closing of the thirteenth round.
For Billy, it was a magnificent
stand, and $4,000 screaming fans
rocked the Harlem stadium as
he stood and punched it out with
one of the hardest hitters the
ring has seen.
It was Louis, though, who
came punching back from the
edge of defeat, rocked sometimes
and often bewildered, but pound
ing relentlessly at the challenger's
body until he cut him down.
Loser, according to The Associat-
ed Press, of eight of the previous
IL rounds, Louis came back when
he had to in the thirteenth, and
it was as far as Conn could go.
Louis, hurt and hanging on in
the twelfth, showed them a
champions heart in the thir-
teenth.
He belted Conn with a right to
the jaw He smashed him with
two more rights and bounced a
left hook to the jaw. Another
hook ripped open Billy's left eye
and the champion Strengthened
him with an uppercut, then
banged him with two more rights.
Another right sent the challen-
ger reeling and Louis tagged him
again with his right, then as
Conn staggered, Joe hit him once
more, and that one was hard.
Conn was trying to get up as
Referee Eddie Josephs tolled off
the 10-count, but he had been hit
too often and too hard.
Twice before, in the fifth and
the tenth, Conn reeled under a
storm of leather from the cham
pion's gloves, but each time he
rode 1t out and came back fail
ing with his own fists in the
next round.
At the end, it was Louis who
seemed tired and worried, and
in the eleventh and twelfth it
seemed Conn might do the i'm
possible and bring the champion
down.
Louis, who made his eighteenth
successful title defense by beat
ing Conn, admitted it had been
a fight.
And Conn wants to try it
again.

O'Conor. calling attention to the
State employees retirement and pen
sion system which goes into effect
Wednesday, said yesterday that

fed and unclassified State employees
and is the first general retirement
system for employees in the history
of the State, Gov.~O'Conor said.
This improvement in the ef-
ficient and economical functioning
of the State government has long
been needed" Gov. O'Conor said.
The Governor said a number of
State employees who would have re-
signed during recent months to
accept higher paying positions have
elected to remain in the State serv-
ice because of the new law.
Membership in the retirement sys-
tenn is optional with all present
employees in service October /. l94l.

State employees must join the system
with the the exception of elected
or appointed officials.

assurance that deficiencies in ma

The zeal and energy, the endurance
and the spirit of the troops have
been a model of excellence"
Mistakes to Be Corrected.
He added, There is much more
to learn but promised that "the
mistakes of the past two weeks will
be corrected"
1t. Gen. Lesley j. McNair, man.
euver director and chief of the Gen
eral Army Headquarters, expressed
equal satisfaction in calling the war
games to halt late yesterday.
The principal material deficiencies
to which Gen. Marshall referred are
weapons principally anti-tank
guns, radio sets for combat vehicles,
tanks. trucks and ammunition.
Although Gen. Marshall did not
detail the mistakes of the past
two weeks" his views undoubtedly
will be incorporated in the critique
Gen. McNair has scheduled for to-
morrow at Leesville, La. After the
first weeks problem he told officers
the most glaring weakness was the
state of small-unit training, the
fault of officer leadership.
Present Army Best.
Gen. McNair said, I'VE can never

Torrance of our troops, but the SOL

count of himself than the soldier
