SQUASH_MATCH

BILLY CONN

London. Feb. 12. Within the next few we ka Joe Louis, world heavyweight champion, and his challenger, Billy Conn, will be getting down to serious training for their title fight at the Yankee Sta- dium, Now York, on June 19.

So far, there is little to go on the with regard to assessing chances of either man, but the general iden appears to be that the champion will try his best to knockout his opponent as ECOU as possible, realising that Conn should last better, being the younger man, and bearing in mited Conn was well aheul on points in their first encounter until he made the fats! mistake of trying to mix it with Louia.

The champion has alrewly de- clared that he must win by knockout at the earlicat ment,

better as "Conn i boxer." Hoth are a long way from their best form at the mo- ment, which is natural, since both have been in the services and some years since they had a serious encounter. and the terms of Mike Jacobs' contract forbids them warming up con- Lests before their championship bout.
