Social Service Center
To Aid Registrars
Is Under Discussion
Chest Agency Considers
information Unit for
Personal Problems

Discussions to determine the prac-
ticability of establishing social
service information center here to
which local selective service boards
might refer men having personal or
family problems have been in
augurated by the Family Service
Association, Community Chest
member agency and Washington
affiliate of the Family Welfare AS
sociation of America.
No definite proposals have been
acted on, however, according to
William H. Savin, executive of the
Family Service Association.
Inauguration of a Nation wide
program Of cooperative effort, led
by public and private family well
fare organizations, to set up ma
chinery designed particularly for
the convenience of selective service
registrantS needing assistance in
health or other personal matters
was announced today by the New
York City headquarters of the Fam
lily Welfare Association of America.
That organization made public
letter to State directors of selective
service from Brig. Gen. Lewis B.
Hershey, deputy director of the
National SeleCtime Service System,
in which he pledged governmental
cooperation and explained in part:
There is no question but that
the services offered by these agen-
cies can be of great benefit and
assistance, and it is expected that
# local boards inform their regis
trants about them many registrants
will avail themselves of the services
and will derive great benefit there
from.
In order not to intrude into the
private affairs of registrants, and
in order not to violate the pro-
visions of the regulations prohibit
ing the disclosure of confidential
information, it is believed that local
selective service boards should con-
fine their activities in this respect
10 merely acquainting their regis
trants with the available services,
leaving it entirely up to the par
ticular registrants to determine
whether or not they desire to avail
themselves of the aid and assistance
offered by these agencies"

Conn Confident
OF Crown Win
ByDecision
Feels Louis Has Lost
Power and Cont Hurt
Badly With One Lick
BY GAYLE TALBOT,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

POMPTON LAKES, June H.
Billy Conn Of Pittsburgh is basing
his belief that he will win the
heavyweight championship from
Joe Louis next Wednesday night
largely on the conviction that the
Negro has lost 80 per cent" of his
punch and no longer can hurt an
opponent seriously with one lick.
For those who have been won
dering how little fellow like Billy
could be so cocksure of whipping
the big man known as the Bomber,
that explains lot. Both Billy and
his manager, Johnny Ray, are alb
solutely convinced that Louis has
slipped badly In the last year and
is ripe for the taking.
Honest" swors Johnny, 'T shut
my eyes and was afraid to look every
time Buddy Baer hit him the other
night IN Washington. I could rust
see us losing this shot at the cham
peenship."
And who's he been killing with
one punch lately?" chimed in the
challenger. The guy can't hit like
he used to. He hit Baer with
everything he had 40 times and he
didn't even mark him up"
Claim Louis Is Worried.
Hes lost so per cent Of his
punch, easy" continued Ray. And
ne knows 1t, too. He's plenty wor-
ried. He's working harder than he
ever did IN his life. Told some fell
lows yesterday he wished he had
TWO more days to train than he's
got. He knows this time he's fight.
ing a guy who's going to keep on
lighting him for IS rounds. He's
plenty worried, too, about that cut
ne got over his eye against Baer.
Ihats going to make a nice target"
Conn is training hard, preparing
MS body to go at top speed for IS
rounds. He already is in superb
condition, almost at the peak. Yes
teroay, Tor instance, he fought eight
hard rounds against four partners.
a couple OF whom were 200-pounders,
ana then put in two more rounds
on the heavy bag and shadow
boxing
A minute after he had finished he
sat on a rubbing table and talked
without trace Of weariness, his
breathing almost normal. Jim Brad
dock, the ex-champion, said that 10
such rounds, using heavy gloves,
were equal to Is of actual fighting,
and Jim should know.
Expects Decision Win.
At any rate, Conn makes no secret
Of the fact that he expects to win
by a decision. He says nothing
about knocking Louis out, though
he insists he has better punch
than generally is believed.
The main impression this observer
carried away from Billys camp was
that he still looked mighty small to
/ be fighting Joe Louis. That, and the
| renewed knowledge that he is not
particularly hard to hit. While
Conn is smart, clever fighter, he
is by no means a will o. the wisp.
His partners all were hopping him
yesterday
The truth is that Billy likes to
fight, not box, and it is difficult TO
believe he will change suddenly
when he faces Louis.

Harris, Tough Scorpio> Spurns
AstroIogy as an Aid to Mats;
Chose's WIdness Is Costly

You may feel you are caught in
some kind of cul-de-sac You may
feel you are thrashing around with
out really seeing what it is that op-
poses you"
That cul-de-sac business is a bit
over our head, but Clark Griffith
ought to sue the Yankees for $4,000
if Sundra can't see those fellows up
at that plate. 1t says, too, that
Steve should enroll in classes or go
to a lecture series to improve his
mind, but all Sundra says to that
is, "Huh?".
We tried to learn when Cement
Jimmy Pofahl is going to get hit,
but all it says is for the Mats short
stop to meet more people face to
face" Jimmy is following instruc-
tions. We bet no other major league
shortstop has met as many fellows
face to face between the hours of
to S. Jimmy can strike up con-
versation quite frequently during
the afternoon, because it seems
somebody always is arriving at Sec
ond base.
One fellow who consulted as
tronomy quite by accident yesterday
was little Roy Weatherly, Cleve-
lands center fielder. Roy was
whacked high on the head by one of
ChaSeS fast balls in the fourth in
ming and was rushed to Lakeside
Hospital. He received a slight
conclusion and will be lost to the
Indians for three or four days.
Revenge Disavowed.
There have been words between
the Mats and Weatherly this sea-
son-occasioned by Roy Spiking
Cecil Travis earlier in the year
but the Mats were sincerely sorry
over the accident, and Chase visibly
was upset. He previously had
walked jeff Heath, and after beam
ing Weatherly he Immediately
pitched a three-run homer to Hal
Trosky.
Il have had blister on the Sec
ond finger of my left hand for
some time" said Chase, "and I
find it painful and hard to grip
the ball. 1t got away and sailed
on Weatherly, and I'm terribly sor-
ry. I was afraid they would think
I was trying to get even, but 1
wasn't. 1t was an accident, that's
all"
Chase, incidentally, lost his eighth
start since beating the Yankees on
April 18. Ken and Arnold Ander-.
son were slammed for II hits, while
Roger Cramer obtained half of
Washington's eight hits off Al
Smith. 1t was the Mats Goth defeat
in their last % games.
The Mats were to complete their
Western trip with game here to-
day, but will be idle tomorrow. De-
troit will invade Griffith Stadium
for the first of a three-game series
starting Saturday.

Says Billy Talks Too Much

much" Which does not exactly add
up to a game of gin rummy for
Brother Bill.
Odd part about an interview with
this new Louis-he can talk now
is that he refuses to name the round
he expects to stop the Pittsburgh
pretty boy, and that he admits he
may have slowed up some-"but I'm
still faster than that Conn"
Bomber in Fine Trim.
"All 1 know" he says, "they's
gonna be a knockout. It'll come
somewhere along the line One of us

Although no one up here is taking
Conn lightly, all are agreed there's
one very pleasant prospect besides
the view of the lake you get from
Joe's cottage. This is the old Brown
Bomber as far as condition goes.
He finished up today's workout

CHICAGO, June 12.-Baseball
players and executives waited
quietly, but anxiously, today a
Federal ruling on the draft de-
ferment plea of Johnny Rigney-
a decision that may have a pro-
found effect on the major league
pennant races.
The big, strong arm pitcher of
the Chicago White Sox was
tabled for an Army uniform
June 20, but requested and OBJ
tanned a 60-day deferment from
his local draft board.
Paul @. Armstrong, State Sc
lective service director. stepped
in, however, and moved to block
the deferment, declaring Rigney
had no more right to avoid in
duction now than thousands of
other youths. He has asked
President Roosevelt. through
draft officials Ia Warrington, for
q ruling.
Evening star., 1941-06-12

Rigney claimed immediate in
duction would rob him of four
elevenths of his $4,000 salary.
He said he had planned to be
married soon to Dorothy Comis-
key, treasurer and part owner
of the White Sox, and that two
more months of pitching would
enable him to provide for her
while he underwent his year OF
military training.
White SoX officials declined to
comment, stating simply that the
case was strictly between Rigney
and the draft authorities.
Rigney is the first player
known to have asked deferment
on a plea of unusual individual
hardship" but many others have
expressed similar opinions off the
record. They contend that since
baseball is q seasonal occupation
the players should be given sps.

GREENWOOD LAKE, N. Y, June
12.-It is a matter for argument
whether Joe Louis has more pooh
poohs for Billy Conn's smart
cracks" or his powder puff punch
ing"
The cracks" have steamed the
Bomber up so much he is all out
to END next Wednesday nights Polo
Grounds tussle with the first punch,
If he can. His sparring partners
are all banged up from catching
what he promises to deal off the
arm to Billy.
The Conn clouting power appar-
emily has Joe worried about as much
as slap in the face from a butter
fly wing. He is so afraid of it, in
from stylish, skill-stressing defense
to a cut-loose- blow -the-man-
down idea. 1t is clear he is willing
to take chances on getting hit in
order to drop bomb or two himself
in this fight, because he's mighty
burned up at Billy Boy and feels
ne has nothing to fear from Conn's
thumps.
Joe Furnishes Sparmates.
He was peeved at Max Schmeling,
too, when he was training for his
revenge, but this is different. Then
he stressed caution. This time he's
moving in on every sparmate
crowding them every second, even
taking a belt or two on the whiskers
to get in one good one.
He'll tell you he respects Conn as
hitter, that even raindrop can
hurt you if it keeps hittin' you nuff. y

sarily fly off the handle in the ring
