Around Boston:
 The fight fan fest and pre-fght predictions are in all of their fury and interest as the Joe Louis and Billy Conn battle approaches the date when the two gladiators will meet in fistic combat, or haven't you heard? There will be the usual corner predictions of MT. Fight Fan himself, who will, we are told, have all the fight dope necessary, and if we don't listen to his pre- dictions we are bound to go wrong. Then we have the news paper predictions. After stating
 how we'll Joe looks one day, on the next day there will be stories to the contrary, telling the world
 that the champ is on the down grade. On the other hand we have the advance notices that the chal- lenger MT. Conn is very fast and can't miss taking the crown away from the champ if he only keeps his head and boxes the champ.
 There are some people who really
 believe that Louis hasn't got a chance due to his sluggishness in the training camp. Then about
 this time there are still others who have a funny feeling that som how the fight doesn't seem to be all right. Many of the colored fans are wondering if the champ is really trying to train that is to win this fight. Some believe that the champ will not be at his best and that Billy the Kid Conn, will win by a decision and there will be big build up for a return match for Joe Lous. Take this last statement for what it's worth. What percentage would there be if the fight turns out to be just another fight with the challenger declared the winner? MONEY TALKS MY FRIENDS. This is what Billy Conn says, "The last time Joe trained for his fight with me he was boxing three or four rounds a day, "Now it must be that Joe sees trouble ahead, for he is boxing from six or eight rounds a day" 'I am," continued the cor ky Irishman, "concentrating onl

Ark, speaking before the Demo-
cratic State Convention at Olym-

Republican Party problem in my

cording to press reports. To this

1T is inconceivable to think
our great state will ever bow
to the system under which both
Senators Mcclellan and Pepper

the voters have every reason
to go to the poles in November
and repudiate this most REACT

UNCONSTITUTIONAL phase of
our American way of life and

and defeatism, so insecure is its
foundation.
