Monroe is Opponent
in Lost Loop Meet

Without a victory to their
credit, Mount Clemens highs
swimmers engaged Monroe this
afternoon in the local pool in the
last Border Cities League meet
for the Bathers.
The Trojans have one victory
in three starts to their credit
and were seeking a 500 average
and tie for third place. The
meet is the semi-final for the
locals, who have only an en-
gagement with Pontiac in the
home pool next Friday left on
their schedule.
Wyandotte's defending cham
pions are pacing the loop with
three wins and no defeats, but
Fordson with only one loss
against a trio of wins, is expect
ed to wind up with the title.

valuable piece of bric-a-brac In

Sweet William COLI les with
Humping Tony Zalr il Madison
Square Garden along about 10
pm. (EWT), and, while all
signs point to a victory for the
Smokytown Irishman, there's
always the possibility one of
those accidents might happen.
If the middleweight boss pulls
one of these, it would go a long
way toward singing a swan song
for Billy's shot at the heavy
weight championship and po-
tential half-million-dol gate
with Joe Louis in their sched-
uled return match this June.
For Tony, defeat wouldn't be
too tough to take. After all, he's
only a middleweight and if he
loses, it can be brushed off with
the explanation that he didn't
pick on someone his size. He ex-
poets to come in at 1853 and the
contracts call for Conn to weigh
no more than IT'S. This may
cause some confusion at the Of
fetal weigh-in at 1890, because
Sweet William wound up his
training yesterday scaling in the
neighborhood of 178. Zane's
manager, Sam Plan, said if Conn
were that heavy there would be
considerable noise coming from
his corner.
HOT FIGHT SEEN
What with Billy supposed to
be somewhat peeved at Tony
and Tony ditto at Billy, this
shindig promises to be more
than hot game of patty-cake.
The result is that the faithful
having been doing pretty we'll by
the box office, and promoter
Mike Jacobs figures some 10000
or $4,000 customers will chip in
to a pot of $4,000 or more.
The majority of these citizens
expect to see Conn do quite a
painting and decorating job on

Ind. The betting boys and girls
have Billy / to 5 favorite, with
very little investing going on
by the folks with a bob or two.
This corners tabs Billy as such
good thing" he'll probably
stop Zale, say in nine rounds or
so, even though, as a kayo spe-
cialist, Conn l. said to ne quite a

The Bathers started hot, scor-

slowed up faster than the Nazis

CONFIDENCE EBBS
Though they defeated Monroe,
1851, in the first meeting of the
two teams in January, the locals
rank as only slight favorites to-
night on their home court. Their
performance during the last
three game has been frankly
disappointing and confidence in
the team has ebbed.
Bob Plegue's graduation has
caused considerable difficulties
both in rebounding and shooting
for Coach Ernest Buckholz'
team, as the big forward came
through in the scoring column
when Ralph Siewert was having
an off night.
Slated to fill his spot tonight
is Bob White, in a guard posi-
ton. White gave the locals big
boost in December game with
Ferndale when Plegue was alb
sent, but was absent from the
regular lineup until the Port
Huron game on Tuesday. Johnny
Raspet is expected to see some
action at the guard post.

game while the locals have only
two victories in six starts. The

while White and Ken Strass-
