Miss GULL six weeks ago had
attained an average of 121-43 which
was 27 pins higher than the national
mark rolled by Ida Simmons of

raines brilliant squirt Mrs. Rose
also had scared above the national
record.

Conn and Pilot Angry
As Jacobs Puts Off
Scrap for Title
Both See Sure Victory
If June Bout Is Held;
Soy Joe Has Slipped
3, the Associate Press.

q! the ASSOCldleQ Press.
PITTSBURGH, April II. The
maddest guy in the fistic world to-
day is Billy Command because he
figures the lush heavyweight title is
right within his grasp and yet no
word from Promoter Mike Jacobs
that his fight with Joe Louis is on ~
Jacobs had said the scrap would
be held in June, but now, for rea-
sons best known to himself, he
wants it postponed to July.
Which rubbed the fur the wrong
way on both Conn and his manager,
Johnny Ray. Johnny says June
would be the better month from the
financial angle. Conn would be at
his peak then and might suffer from
the months lay-over if the fight is
postponed.
Many sport experts think the
slim l75-pound dancing master of
the ring would be mismatched
against the 200-pound heavyweight
champion, but Conn is among the
group contending that good man
weighing IT'S can take on any one,
no matter how big.
Billy said that after watching
Tony Music stick around" with
Louis, I'm positive I'm going to
be the next heavyweight cham
pion."
Joe has slipped badly" he eluci-
dated. He caught Music hundred
times with his Sunday punches, and
Music stood up.
Here's how I'll lick him: I'll
stab him silly. Joe is slow afoot,
and he has to get set to punch.
He'll never do that with me in
there"
