NEW YORK, Sept. IS tUP)-
The widely advertised Louis-Conn
heavyweight title fight Oct. II has
been waited into such a govern
mental detour that even John
Kieran of the New York Times -
radio quiz program eXpert-can't
pop up with the answer.
Kieran, chairman of the sports
writer's committee in charge of the
fight and president of War Box
ing, inc, the promoting committee,
says, We don't know what the
shooting ssall about
Kieran referred to yesterdays
statement by Secretary of War
Henry l.. Stimson who suddnly an
nounced that he would personally
investigate the shocking" details
of the scheduled fight between
Sgt. Joe Louis and Corp. Billy Conn.
IN SAME BOAT
We are virtually in the same boat
with Kieran, since we were a mem
Der of the ultimate committee that
voted for Louis and Conn together
to get a total of S135,43153 from
the fight.
We do not know the details that
shocked Secretary StimSon, but we
can assure him that plenty of our
citizens were Surprised-to put 1t
mildly-becauSe of the fact that
one full week was required from
the time of the pay-off announce
ment to the date when Secretary
StimSon got the full details.
And there is the suspicion that
Secretary StimSon might not have
received the full details then had
not Representative Donald l.. o.
Toole of New Pork asked Congress
for an investigation Wednesday. In
fact O'Toole told the house that
the army was making a 'mockery'
of war by permitting Louis and
Conn to be paid for their efforts
as two members of the army.
HISTORY OF CASE
The history of the case is this ::
On Sept 3, it was announced that
Louis and Conn would fight a re-
turn bout at an undeSignated site.
That announcement was approved
by a small committee, composed
mostly of New York sports editors
and columnists. We did not attend
that meeting, since neither the
United Press nor Associated Press
had been put on the original COM
mittee.
Nor did we attend the commit
tees second meeting when it was
disclosed that Louis and Conn
would have TO be paid if they
fought. and at which discussion
dealt with the awarding of a ra-
dio contract for the fight broad
cast.

SPORTS PARADE: =:
Stimson's Stand Puzzles

Having been notified that we
were a committee member, we at
tended the big meeting in the Hotel
New Yorker Sept. 18. At this meet
ing it was announced that a total
of $l35, ,45153 must be paid to Louis
and Conn, otherwise the fight
would be called off. A supposed
representative of the War Depart
ment assured everyone that this
plan had been approved by the war
department, because the department
realized that in the final figuring
army relief would get about $780,
900 from the fight.
RICE WARNS WRITER'S
Despite the warnings of veteran
Grantland Rice, who was reSigning
his job as chairman of the sports
committee, everyone else voted to
stage the fight and to pay Louis
and Conn the sums mentioned.
When we walked out of that
meeting, we thought the whole
thing was settled and that the war
department had acted very wisely
in view of the aspects of a case in
which the champion had long been
promised tax fight because he
was donating two title purses to
Navy and Army relief. But Louis
had been pushed around afterwards
after the military man in New
York, who had given the promise
was shifted to a different job in
Washington.
The New York sports writer's were
quite willing to give Joe Louis a
break-and Billy Conn too-in view
of their background and particu-
larly when the break was suggested
and approved by the War Depart
ment-apparen

Farmer has just signed long

Concerning the squabble with the
New York boxing commission.
which refuses to recognize Ortiz as

of IS. Farmer has this TO say:
Jerry Giesler has just written me
asking for a photostatic copy OF
the contract that Salica and Man
uel signed"
OC;iesler is California boxing com
mission chairman
Farmer feels that some new ac-
tion on the case may soon be forth
coming. that the NY. commission,
which has been backhanded by just
about every sports writer in the
United States because Of its stand,
NAV change its decision.
Charges that the three mem
hers of the commission are the
pawns of Mike Jacobs, modern
car of professional boxing, and
that Ortiz would be recognized
as champ if the bout had been
staged in the Empire state, have
flown fast and furiOur. In MS
briefcase Farmer has bales oi
