 Another Blow
 On Big FighI

WASHINGTON, June 21.-Rep. Donald L. O'Toole, the scrappy Irishman who aimed haymaker at the Louis Conn fight, followed it today with a short jab at the fisti- cuff sport in general.
 "The trouble with boxing" the New York Democrat told report CT, is that persons in authority in the various states pay no at tention to it until something like this - national fraud and scan- dal comes along"
 C'Tocle, squat, 44-yera -old Brooklynite with an athletic back ground, sent telegram to Edward Eagan, New York State Boxing Commission chairman yesterday, calling for an investigation of Wednesday nights heavyweight championship affair.
 He also demanded that purses of the fighters he held up "in jus tice to those who were swindled.
 Boring Tn Sel0er
 One more fraud tsuch as the Louis Conn bout and boxing will be ruined in the United States for many years to come" he wired Eagan.
 In an interview later, O'Toole said that promoter Mike Jacobs has an absolute monopoly on boxing, and that boxing in New Yclk has not gone into the gutter; it's gone into the sewer"
 Asserting that Jacobs ties up promising boxers with contracts to fight for him before he will agree to arrange title matches, the law maker added that the promoter also controls bouts in Madison Square Garden, the Polo Grounds and the Yankee Stadium
 Jacobs, in New York, replied to O'Too,es blast by saying that the Representative wanted compliment tary tickets and I refused him ' so now he comes hollering." This O'Toole denied and stated that his New York law partner in vited him to attend the fight as his guest but he turned it down.
 Later, O'Toole announced that he would sue Jaccbs for Sl00000 for accusing me of extortion = have instructed my New York attorney to file suit for damages

 BOB TELLER
BY JOE REIcHLER ZAP SPORTS WRITER ]

AT SfOh1S WhA4LhJ
 If the Boston Red Sox can still see through the fog that has en- gulfed them, they can take a good gander tonight at their scheduled opponent, bop Teller, who starueo them on their amazing retreat.
 Since Teller set them back on their heels June 12, the Bostonians lave dropped seven of their last eight games including last night s 20 setback at the hands of the St. Louis Browns.
 Boston lost only half game of it's lead as the runnerup New York Yankees were held to split in their double header by the Chicago White Sox A neat eight hitter by bespectacled Bill Dietrich halted the Yankees 3-l in the opan- CT as Yankee pitching ace, Spud Chandler, gunning for his 1lth victory, was forced to accept his third defeat. Floyd Bevens gained the split for the Tanks by best ing Lefty Ed Smith 6-1 in the nightcar.
 Big Three-Gants Certes
 Brooklyn's pace-setting Dodgers and the challenging St. Louis Card inals readied themselves for their crucial three game series for the National League lead which starts tonight by knocking over the Pitts burgh Pirates and Boston Braves, respectively, in easy fashion. The Brooklyn boys won 7-3 while the Cards triumphed 9-1.
 The third place. Detroit Tigers advanced to within nine and a half games off the American League pace by routing the Philadelphia Athletics 9-2 under barrage of home runs by Hank Greenberg Eddie Lake, Bob Swift and pitcher Dizzy Trout, who gathered in his seventh triumph.

FILM FLAM

1t takes less time to see the Conn-Louis movies than it did to see the fight = and the seats are more comfortable Two things the films bring out are the way Billy's hands kept dropping in the latter rounds and that Ee took a pretty good wallop just before he slipped" in the sixth round. Conn was jumping away from solid smash at close quarters when he skidded to one knee.

yERMAR(0 RETURNS
 WITH "0DD" BEAR

Capt Arthur Kinnan's charter yacht Vermarco returned here late Wednesday with "a most remark able bear" among eight Brownies ,hot on a three week hunting trip in the Chatham Straits area.
 The bear in question was almost white, although Kinnan said he would not go so far as to call 1t an albino. He. said he had never before seen a similar specimen in Southeast Alaska.
 The light-colored bear was shot Ly a member of the charter party, which included Mir and Mrs. Harry :. Baldwin and MT. and Mrs. A. R. Miller, all of Indianapolis.
 Kinnan said Baldwin, on his first trip to Alaska, openly scoffed at stories of bear large enough to look into second story windows, but returned from trip with his guide convinced that "three-story bear exist.
 Of the Brownies shot by the party, six were close to nine-foot- CTS, Kinnan said.
 He added that the Indianapolites will leave fer Skagway, Fairbanks, Dawson and Circle tomorrow. They hope to fly to Nome and Point Barrow before motoring down the Alcan Highway to catch the train it Dawson Creek and return to the United States.

 ROUNDUP
BY HUGH FULLERTON

NEW YORK, June 21-Two burning questions left by Wednes- days late unlamented Louis-Conn fight are How long will Billy's re- tirement last? And what did the size of the gate indicate?
 Conn naturally was feeling pretty bad when he announced he was all through and he's fairly well fixed in the dough department But he still is the second best heavy weight around and could pick up more than loose change by fighting the Joe Baksis, Tami Maureillos etc, next winter. He might even draw million dollar gate for fighting Louis again. Can he re- sist that?
The Daily Alaska empire., 1946-06-21

A take of nearly two million dollars from 45,0o0 customers isn't bad business, but it's hardly the three million and S0,000 that were expected Couple that with de- oreasing business at run-of-mill sports events and in otler enter tainment fields and it may mean the sports boom is ending before it was fairly under way Or it may just mean the customers want tEcir moneys worth.

DETROIT - The Congress
