Conn Just Can't Figure Losing;
Joe Holding Out, Hoosmon Says

POMPTON LAKES, N. j., June
14.-A Hoosman, one of four big
clever Negro fighters who have been
helping Joe Louis sharpen his
batting eye here for the past "A
days, is convinced that the cham
pion is holding out 4 few secret
weapons to use on Billy Conn next
Wednesday night.
I'm sure Joe's using little
camouflage." was the way the tall
Los Angeles stylist put it. Just
every now and then he shows me
enough in there for me to know he
isn't doing his best all the time
He's much faster than when he
started training and he can hit
plenty sharp when he's a mind to-.
There's not a doubt in Hoosman's
mind that Louis will catch Conn
fairly early, though he admits to a
great admiration for Billy after
having dropped over to his camp
several times to watch him box.
Hes a fine little fighter" he said
seriously. Its too bad he has tc
fight big men like Joe who hits sc
much harder than he can. Nobody,
going to keep Joe from hitting him
I know"
Louis looked about so per cent
better yesterday than on Tuesday
He still wasn't trying to sail in anc
drop his partners, but he never left
any doubt who was boss.
Jack Dempsey looked Louis ovel
very carefully and opined that
while Joe looked strong he could d.
with bit more speed.

GREENWOOD LAKE, N. j., June
13-Joe Louis could just as well be
guy fishing in sampan in Siam,
for all the attention Billy Conn gives
him and what he does or how he
looks.
You practically have to drag any

he's that unconcerned.
And as for thinking about Louis,
once his daily clouting chores are
done, Billy is interested only in the
order of their Importance, with (a)
gin-rummy, (b) poker and tc) a
little game of skill and chance
known as skin" which means you
can be very\well peeled playing it.
He hasn't lost even a little bit OF
the confidence he brought with him
when he came swinging down the
pike out of Pittsburgh, puny mid
dleweight, and went on to drive
within three short foxtrots Of taking
the Bomber's crown back in Al
This is the unwavering conviction
that he can beat any man whoever
walked, using fists alone.
He feels that the reason Joe
turned the lights out on him in the
18th round of their last scramble
was because he made the mistake Of
trying to slug it out, thereby giving
Louis a sucker shot," and Joe
cashed in. And, since he doesn't
expect TO make the same mistake
again, he doesn't see any reason fol-
changing his mind for Wednesday S
affy-puil.
IN either win or get killed try
ing he grinned after you finally
got him to speak small piece
about Joe, land I'm not figuring on
getting killed, unless maybe there's

The preseason prediction that
baseball was in for its biggest year
financially was borne out today
with the disclosure that with only
third of the season gone, ex-
actly 6,29S, 900 fans-more than twice
last years attendance at this cor

way into the Is major league ball
parks.
Not only is new attendance
mark for the year a virtual Ger
tainty, but if the fans continue to
flock to the games, last years rec
ord breaking attendance of TO-
95l SOP may be more than doubled.
AS the majors took one-day
vacation" while the intersectional
rivals prepared to clash for the
fourth time, the Yankees amazing
home total Of 1.113,849 for "a home
games was much the best. Never
before has any team hit the million
mark at this early date. In all of
their II home tits last year. the
Yanks attracted only 381,845 fans
Yanks Threaten Major Record.
Already the Bronx Bombers are
within 1853 of the all-time Ameri-

1920. With 43 games remaining,
they are reasonably certain to sur
pass the major league mark of l.
485 166 set by the Chicago Cubs of
1929. Four times this season the
Yanks topped $4,000 with their g.

mark. In four contests under the

their main attractions, rank Sec
ond to the Yankees at the gate with

ready tops the Red Sox entire home
attendance last year when they drew
603794 for II engagements.
The Chicago Cubs, defending Ma
