Final Round

New York, June 2O-(UP)-Here is the round that told the story of the Joe Louis-Billy Conn fight:
 They came out of their corners slowly to start the eighth round. Louis laid a light left on Conn's right ear. Conn was short with a left, and Louis shook him with a IeA hook to the head. Louis landed another left hook to Billy's chin. Conn countered with right that Louis partially blocked with ms gloves. Joe drove a straight right to the face that sagged the chal- leugers knees and opened a gash beneath his left eye. They spared. Conn started left hook, but Louis beat him to the punch with a straight right to the left temple, staggering him. Conn fell into a clinch. Louis stepped back and landed a straight right to the jaw. Louis landed a short right uppercut to the chin. Louis landed terrific left hook to the jaw, flooring Conn for the full count at 2:19.

This Sporting. World
IBarnuvva Was Right
By JOHN A. cIyNEY

Though this is strictly from the observation tower of "the little man who wasn't there" have been con- strained to think that heavyweight champion Joe Louis is the most benevolent guy since the Bibles Good Samaritan. Billy Conn is quoted this morning as saying that he SPOKE TO JOE TWICE; the first time in the first round with this: Take it easy Joe, we have IS to go" and later: what are you trying to do to an old pal?" By that time, it must have daWned on the champ that the movies had enough to sell, and that Conn was trying 10 ''con" him around so that the light could go the limit, if possible. That's about when, Joe looked up at his trainer, Mamie Seamon and re- marked ::A'n going fight this round to see if he can take it" Billy couldn't; was knocked fiat on his back, counted out, and realized in his dressing room later how much he was outclassed: causing him to announce his permanent retirement From the ring. After all, he had his big chance in 1941, and what did he do to deserve another one?
 As for the $1OO seat customers Joe must have taken pity on them too, for he let Conn stay four or five rounds longer than necessary; as neither boxer threw a half dozen punches in the first three rounds. Even Joe realized how right Mir. Barnum was, with his time-tested wisecrack: there's sucker born every minute"
 O. K. So I picked Louis to belt Conn silly in three rounds; perhaps hn the first. But how did I know how Louis would feel when Conn asked him to take it easy". The only fighter Joe really hated was Max Schmeling or "Smellin' as he called the only man who knocked him out: only to last less than one round when they met again.

THE WATERBURY DEMOCRAT WATERBURY, CONN., THURSDAY JUNE 2o 1Q
TeIevision Fight Fans Got t'Breok'
By PAUL F. ELLIS

New York, June 20-(UP)-Mike Jacobs had better watch out. He may have trouble filling a telephone booth for 8 heavyweight boxing championship bout of the future.
 Thousands saw his "extraxaganza" (the announcer called 1t the stel- lar attractionO between Joe Louis and Billy Conn last night, and thanked their lucky stars they hadn't paid $1OO or even 6 for standing room.
 They saw the fight by television. Receivers as far north as Con- necticut and as far south as Wash ington.
 Though miles away from the Yankee Stadium ringside, they saw everything that went on in that A-foot square, and saw 1t much better than most of the 45, ,266 per- sons who paid their way in. And that includes most of those who had paid as high as $100.
 It was the first time that a heavyweight championship bout was televised. It was estimated that 100000 persons were in the Na- tional Broadcasting Company tele- vision audience.
 NEG had it's pre-fight worries Engineers and technicianS in charge of the cameras at the sta dium threatened to go on strike two hours before fight time. Just as the preliminary bouts got under way the trouble was ironed out at least for the night.
 The fight picked up by five cameras in the Stadium, came iT clearly and it seemed as thougt you were sitting in an elevated chair about three or four rows away Every movement of Louis and Conr was on the screen instantly. Yol could see that Joe's deadpan fact never changed; that Conn was hur in that fifth round; that Joe wa landing lefts and rights, in thu eighth round; and that Conn wa going down even before that las crusher bounced against his chin
 You could hear the roar of thu crowd; the count of the referee; tn ring of the bell.
 Those at the fight may have beer disappointed but not those wh, saw it via television, for it was al indication that one of these day Americans from coast to coast vii be seeing such big events in thei own home.
 Parties Held By NEG
 The biggest televislon party il New York City was given by NB( in a studio in which some 600 per sons sat around N home e-sized re ceivers A similar party was staget in Washington. Hundreds of pri vately owned receivers also wen tuned in.
 Pity our poor colleague, Rober Richards, whose assignment was tt watch the fight from one of MT Jacobs $1O seats virtually on tn outskirts of Poughkeepsie.
 Most of the audience agreed tha television probably will have con siderable affect on the gates fo big sports events in the future They seemed to feel that 1t wa cheaper, that you didn't have t. worry about crowds and gettint home-and that you saw everything if not more, than most of the $10 ringside customers did.

Eye (?) Witness Report From | $1O Seat Fans
By ROBERT RICHARDS

New York, June 20 = (UP) - Mike Jacobs, I'm returning your $10 ticket, and you can give Yankee Stadium's centerf1eld back to Joe DiMaggio.
 I sat out there-485 feet from the solid canvas-for more than an hour last night, with the wind in my hair and six crickets in my pocket.
 looked through borrowed bin- oculars until I developed a mild tWitch in one eye. sprained my left ankle from standing on my toes, but I never did see Joe Louis knock out Billy Conn.
 Saw Oats Frank
 The bright lights cut of both fight CTS heads. All you could see was their shorts running around. Some times you could get a good view of Joe's purple pants, moving to the attack like triple dose of DOT, and once or twice even spotted Billys f1ashy shorts running in the wind.
 They were both the same color | just a pinkish blur.
 But, at least, I heard the fight on 8 portable radio.
 Once, in the middle of the third round, a spectator screamed Hey he's down. He's out"
 But 1t developed that he was look ing through the wrong end of g beer bottle. He saw 8 bug bouncing off lady's hat. Everybody Mixed Up
 Even at the beginning, we were all mixed up. Someone climbed into the ring and We all yelled: Hey that's our Joe" It turned out to be a policeman-instead of blue bathrobe.
 Yes, all I actually saw was just legs and shoes, Uncle Mike. Ina ain't too much for 10 potatoes, no even in a hot grille show.
 So, as I said before, I tuned 1T on the radio.
 The announcer said Conn clippet Joe. He said it again. I got all ex' cited. Then some guy slipped III from the shadows. He grabbed m, by the arm. You tell that man tt get 1t straight" he said. "He' wrong. I'm from Detroit, and know"
 "In run down and tell him." said. You wait right here"
 Fat Protection
 slid down two rows and hid be hind two fat ladies and a Yanke' pitcher and skipped the curren tour of the club to see the fun ant quickly tuned down the radio.
 Then a fugitive came running ur panting hard.
 Where you from, son?" I asked
 Prom the $100 section," he said "You want my ticket2"
 You go on back" l said. "Thi fight might last all night"
 But he wouldn't. Tt embarrasse me-" he said. They keep smilinl at each other. think they're il love"
 Of course, I didn't see that either As matter of fact, I didn't ever hear it on my portable radio.

Bremen Nose
 Out pAA, Hard FoughfGame
Full String of Juneau Grim son Bears Used fo
 Beat Siqnaes

Douglas FireuIen last night de- feated Pan American Airlines' Clip per team 40 to 38 in a close-fought game, the best PAA has played to date. Juneau High won over the Signacs with a 54 to B score.
 With only one more game session of the League to be played. Juneau Highs Crimson Bears stand as un- disputed champions of this years basketball competition.
 In last nights game with the Signacs, the full first ~string was removed in the first half and re- turned to the game when the score stood A to 27 in favor of Juneau at the end of the third quarter. They remained in the game until the final whistle.
 Although Signacs played their last game against the leagues strong est team with a great deal of gusto and determination, the had little chance to score against the hard hitting Bears. Goldstein and Win slow stood out as excellent defen- sive players on the Signacs and Jones was high scorer for the third consecutive game. He scored 12 points
 Juneau Highs second stringer Rude played a fast and telling game, and Sanford came up for one of the four top score ratings of the game. Mead, Aase, O'Con- nor and Sanford all made points each. Merritt and Prouty made 6 each
 PAA Bremen
 In the PAA-Douglas Bremen game, PAA played well from start to finish, showing extremely cagey strategy from the beginning of the second half. At one point Gin the third quarter) PAA was ahead by two baskets.
 Moscrip, star shooter with 16 points in the game, had able assis- tance from Conrad and Steinacfer, especially, and the other members of the team in general Moscrip not only shot well last night, but showed real ability in intercepting passes and in making fast break through. Fournie was second high man in shooting scores with 10 points to his credit.
 Douglas Firemen sparked with ex- pert basketeer McDaniels Q9 points) and good playing from every man on the team displayed their usual professional-looking game. There appeared to Ee a concentrated effort to let every man have his chance at scoring. McDaniels heavy margin of sunk baskets was not a result of con- stantly feeding him the ball. A number of the Bremen were a bit off their shooting slast night, and those who weren't were stopped by heavy guarding from PAA.
