Mechanic Arts Wins
State 1941 Grown

NEWTON-The State 1941 track
schoolboy championship was neatly
annexed here last week by powerful
Mechanic Arts from Boston.
Mechanic Arts piled up 30 points to

Boston English was third and Somer-

Conn Build-Up

Something, of course, had to be
cooked up" to make the Billy Conn
chances look good come next June 18,
when boastful Bill is supposed to
create the most stupendous upset of
all time. On that date, Conn is sup
posed to prove that Joe Louis never
was champion. Conn is supposed to
develop a super skill and punch over
night that will make Louis swoon in
defeat.
Buddy Baer, of course, never even
rated the Louis match ahead of Simon
and Lou Nova. Buddy is very, very
far from being a great fighter. Yet
the way Ancil Hoffman yelled and
stomped around last week, you'd think
Buddy was a real classy fighter instead
of big ham built up good to make
the Champion look bad. Louis enabled
Buddy Baer to make cool II grand
last week. It's prbably the first time
Buddy has ever seen IL grand.
Colored sportswriters have predicted
for months that Joe Louis was in
danger of losing prestige if he con-
tinued in the ring any longer.
And look what happened last week.

Should Retire

Should Louis be "upset" next June
by Billy Conn, for example, / do not
want to take the responsibility Of
what might happen among those who
worship Louis as somewhat of an idol
Millions will never believe Conn
really beat Louis. Every real fstic
expert in the country has said there
isn't anybody in sight who can beat
Louis. It's time for Joe Louis to re.
tire.
The entire situation, blame and
otherwise, is up to the Louis manage
ment which has pulled off some blund.
ers, as witness the Buddy Baer match
And the first Schmeling contest is
still a mad mystery.
Everyone acquainted with the fact
that Louis has been a gold mine for
certain fstic shareholders can see
their side of the argument too.
But if Billy Cnn wins the heavy
weight title next June, Joe Louis had
better go over and shake hands with
Jack Johnson.
Jack at least lost the title outside
the U,S.A.

Joe Losing Out

Up until week ago, Joe Louis was
nationally acclaimed as a great cham
pion, and even finer gentleman.
The Nation had rosy visions of
Louis-his pile made, his family Sc
cure, and nobody who could beat him
folding up his fighting tent and
cauntering out to country estate to
retire amid love and kisses. If you've
ever seen Marva Louis you'll know
what | mean.
But as events have evolved since
last week, Joe Louis may not retire
with love and kisses. Joe is quite apt
to bow off the stage amidst loud
boohs and hisses!
For Joe Louis is losing both honor
and prestige in this country because
Joe Louis is today being exploited by
boxing racketeers who don't give a
hoot about Joe's honorable pledge to
his people.

the sixth and final round, Louis
smashed the challenger down twice in
succession and was on his way to a
third when the bell rang, and the cham
pion continued fighting because he
could not hear the bell because of the
bedlam of noise from the crowd. Here

Ancil Hoffman, Baer's manager

Elites Win 1st Round Against Eagles
NEWARK, N. 1.-THE Elite Giants
and the Newark Eagles tangled here
Sunday in a double header before 3400
chilled Jerseyites. The Elites went
on batting rampage in the first
game and scored Is runs before re-
liefer Hooker slipped the barrage af-
ter the sixth inning. Starting pitcher
James Hill didn't have anything on the
ball except the cover and Bill Byrd
who twirled for the victors, pitched
masterfully holding the Eagles to
three hits until the ninth without a
man reaching second base. With two
outs and two strikes, batter Pearson
lined homer into the center field
stands with one man aboard to rob
Byrd of a shutout The final score was
1872.
The second game saw the Eagles
forge to the front in the third inning
when Pearson started a rally with
tremendous clout over the left field
wall. The final score in the night cap
was Ga with the Elites stopping a 8
run rally in the seventh, the game
ending with the tying runs on base.
The batteries for the Eagles being
Manning and Mackie; for the Elites
Adams Williams and Campanella.
Campanella's home run in the first
game was one of the longest ever seen
in the park, the ball hitting the 434-
foot mark in the left center stands.
Still Thinks Eagles Shy On Pitchers
Some of the Eagles are up in arms
because of a statement in this col
umn regarding their lack of pitchers.
l am still firm in my opinion. After
Manning, Hill and Day, the Eagles
have without a doubt a question mark
pitching staff. For example:
The Elites scored 33 runs off their
pitching in three games. The Cubans
with little or no punch at all scored 7
runs in the opener. Pitching like that
will never win a pennant. Besides,
