conn OPINES
zoe IS SLOW"
twill Take Care of Him in
June" Says COcky
Challenger
BY JACK CUDDY
United Press Staff Correspondent

Um1yeu kre8S starr correspondent
Fort Dix, N, j., March % --(UP)--
r. may be wishful thinking, but
Private Billy Conn claims that Pri-
vate Joe Louis has slowed up"
That's what Conn, In his snappy
new army uniform, said yesterday
while watching the heavyweight
champion train for Fridays title de-
Tense against big Abe Simon at
Madison Square Garden.
Did Pittsburgh Billy blame army
life for Louis alleged retogression !?
Hell, mol" said quick-thinking
Conn. "Are you forgetting that I'm
a soldier, myself? No---He's slowed
up simply because oh. age is catch
ing up with him." Louis will be 20
In May.
Only Conn, who happens to be the
No. challenger, noted that bomb
er Joe was distinctly off form.
Everyone else thought the dark dy-
namiter worked as usual during his
six rounds with four sparmateS. The
1000 soldiers. who were banked
around the sides Of the new sports
arena, applauded Justify between
unds--though quiet as mice under
orders Of husky Mp's during the
actual sparring.
Different Guy
Private Conn, who is stationed at
Fort Wadsworth, N. Y, said, "He
looks so slow, can't believe he's the
guy who knocked me out last June.
He's lost his stuff, for sure, and I'll
take good care of him when we fight
again this June"
What about Louis and Simon Fri
day night? !.
We1l--Conn figured Louis might
have some trouble with the New
York Giant who went 10 rounds
with jolting Joe last March. "but I
guess Louis has enough stuff left to
put him away again."
Eddie Blunt, a 220-pound negro
heavyweight from New York, did not
share Conn's apparent disrespect for
Louis. Blunt, the third sparthate to
face Louis, made the mistake Of
poking his thumb in the champions
eye.
This gesture Infatuated Louis. He
snarled, Don evah do that" Then
he smashed big Eddie in the puss
with two left hooks that sent him
careening sideways into the ropes.
Trainer Mamie Seamon, mercitul
man, Immediately shouted "time!"
Louis, down to 208 pounds, will
complete training with four rounds
today, four tomorrow and four Wed"
nesday.

West opened the eight Of clubs.
dummy played the nine and East's
jack forced out South's ace. With
II tricks in top cards. South could
play for a 3-3 break in either spades
or hearts, for a finesse of the club
10, or to drop a heart honor on
either the king or ace of that suit.
After some thought. he decided
to combine several lines Of play.
Hence, he led heart to dummy's
king, returned to his hand with the
diamond queen and led low heart.
West won with the jack and
returned the seven of clubs, dummy
winning with the king.
South next entered his hand with
the spade ace and laid down the
ace of hearts, discarding a low club
from dummy. Had both opponents
followed suit, the rest of his hearts
would have been good and the hand
could have been spread. But when
East failed to follow suit, South had
to play for a 3-3 spade break or a
SuCCeSSIul Squeeze.
Before trying out the spades. he
ran dummy's three high diamonds.
discarding two hearts from his own
hand. West found 1t possible to
discard a club on the third round OF
diamonds but was squeezed on the
last round. If he discarded the
queen of hearts, South would win
his twelfth trick with the heart 10;
and if he discarded a spade, dummy
would win the twelfth trick with
low spade.

LITTLE STORIES FOR BEDTIME

that Redtail was doing and hadn't
seen him at all. He knew that Red
tail would just as soon have Shadow
the Weasel for dinner as himself
and very daring plan had popped
into his head.
II may as we'll be caught by Red
tail as Shadow" he thought as he
ran up the tree, but if my plan
works out right I won't be caught
by either. Anyway 1t is my very
last chance"
Up the tree he scrambled and
after him went Shadow the Weasel.
Shadow had been so intent on
catching Chatterer that he had not
noticed old Redtail, which was just
as Chatterer had hoped. Up. up
he scrambled. straight past old Red
tail, but as he passed he pulled one
Of Redtail's long tail feathers, then
ran on to the top Of the tree and
with the last bit Of strength he had
left leaped to . neighboring spruce
tree. where hidden by the thick
branches he stopped to rest and see
what would happen.
OF course when he felt his tail
pulled old Redtail was wide awake
in flash and Of course he looked
down to see who had dared to pull
his tail. There just below him was
Shadow the Weasel, who had just
that minute discovered who was
sitting there. Old Redtatl hissed

he was angry-very angry.
Shadow the Weasel stopped short.
Then like flash he lodged around
to the other side of the tree. He had
no thought Of Chatterer now. Things
were changed all in lash-quite
changed. Instead Of the hunter he
was now the hunted. Old Redtail
.circled in the air just overhead and
every time he caught sight of
Shadow he swooped at him with
great cruel claws spread to clutch
him. Shadow dodged around the
trunk of the tree. He was more
angry than frightened, for his sharp
eyes had spied = little hollow in
. branch Of the chestnut tree and
he knew that once inside Of that
he would have nothing to fear. But
he was angry clear through to think
that he should be cheated out of that
dinner he had been 50 sure Of only
. few minutes before. So he
screamed ansrily at old Redtail and
then, watching his chance, scam

Chatterer the Red Squirrel, run
ming for his life and without the
least hope, suddenly saw q last
chance to escape from Shadow the
Weasel. That is he saw something
that might offer him a chance. He
couldn't be sure until he had tried
and even then he might escape from
one danger only to run right into
another equally great. What Chat
terer saw was big brown bunch
near the top Of tall chestnut tree
and he headed for that tree as fast
as ever he could go. What was that
big brown bunch? Why it was Red
tail the Hawk, who was doing there
with his head drawn down between
his shoulders dreaming of the warm
southland.
Now old Redtail is one of Chat
terers deadiest enemies. He is quite
as fond Of Red Squirrel as Is Shadow
the Weasel, though he doesn't often
try to catch one, because there are
other things to eat much easier to
get. Chatterer had had more than
one narrow escape from old Redtail
and was very much afraid of him,
yet here he was running up the very
tree in which Redtail was sitting.

home range Of red junglefowl to be
quite limited. During breeding sea-
son, they retire to the more remote
parts of the jungle. Here rivals
fight it out among themselves. The
courtship, strutting and marriage
rites seem to have a grave signifi-
canoe for these high-class birds.
Certainly, the carriage of the cocks
cannot help but convey the idea
of an unconquered race, one of
pure lineage that always will be
honored by every individual.
Junglefowl are usually seen In
pairs, except wnen flOcks gather later
in The season. Tile hen selects a
site for her nest that almost defies
finding. A dense growth of bamboo
or brake Is chosen. The nest is on
the ground, always we'll toward the
center of the denser part of the
thicket. Sometimes leaves are used
for the hollow made by the pressure
of the hens body. Sometimes, she
will go to heap of trouble and use
fine grasses and leaves, and mat
them down. Five to eight eggs are
laid, though II to IA have been
found. They resemble miniature
hens eggs. The shell is smooth
glossy and Of fine texture.
The hen broods her eggs 81 days.
The chicks are strong and quite
Wild. They are able to leave their
nursery and follow their mother as
soon as their downy coat is fiuffed
and dry. Their obedience is perfect.
Baby junglefowl have the same
little peep heard today in any barn.
yard or scientifically heated in
cubator. The father does not assist
IN brooding the eggs, but stands
guard and is instantly alert If any
foe approaches. He is quick to assume
his responsibility IN the education
OF his offspring. Since the food OF
these birds 4 is of an omnivorous
character. the youEg are taught to
seek 1t In all sorts of places. They
are fond of larvae and eggs Of
termites, and will go to much trouble
to demolish terrnite citadel.
Junglefowl living close to cul-
tivated fields are delighted with the
abundance Of food 50 easily obtained.
They usually arrive at daybreak or
late evening and feast on the miilet
and rice they ind in the field. Dur
ing the heat Of the day, they retire
to the deepest, coolest shade In the
Jungle and refresh themselves with
