Billy Conn, light heavyweight

fanciest boxer in the business, is
an 8-to-5 favorite over Bob Pas-

is hard to explain because this one
looks closer than a vest to a shirt.

fog off the Hudson. Neither Conn
nor Pastor. could punch his way
through a lace curtain and at the
gate they still pay off on the old ;
sockeroo. Only one segment of
the population isxcited the old-
time boxing fans who like to see
jabbing, blocking and footwork
in preference to blood and a
knockout punch.
They're bound to get a load of
the fancy stuff this evening. Conn,
weighing more than he ever has
in his life but still unable to get
to 180, has a dazzling left hand.
Whether he is hooking or Jab-
bing with it, there is a sting to
it but nothing more than a sting.
The Pittsburgh kid can't hit hard
enough with it to set up his op-
ponent for a finishing right.
But it’s worth a fair price t
see Conn work because pone of
the big ones move around the
ring with the speed and ease that
he does. Reports out of his train-
hall it probably is Steve O'Neill.

WACO. (Spl).—That famous
passing combination of Rill Pat-
terson to Sam Boyd which struck
fear in the hearts of all gridiron
opponents of Baylor University
for three years will be intact
again, this fall ... when the . Pitts-
burgh Steelers of the National
Professional Football League,
take the field.
President Arthur Rooney of
the Steelers has announced that
he has given the Chicago Bears,
present owners of Patterson, the
opportunity to take the Steelers’
first pick in the draft next year,
in exchange for Bullet Bill.
Boyd, rangy glue-fingered end,
was the Steelers’ best wingman
last season. The touchdown- com-
bination is expected to get back
into the swing of things in rapid
time.

cellar-dwelling Liners who invade
the local ball orchard for a two-
game stand tonight.
The Oilers were handed an old-
fashioned shellacking by the Tro-
jans last night, booting a chance
to move into the top-spot. As a
result the Atzmen slipped two
games back of the Rose City nine
but were determined to take up
the slack in the four-game home
stay opening tonight while the
Trojans are playing on foreign
soil. Marshall will follow the
Liners here.
Skipper Jake will send Frankie
Masters to the hillock against the
Liners tonight in the local opener
, while Texarkana's tosser has not
been named. Jim Evans, who has
chalked up two victories over the
Oilers during recent weeks, may
get Manager Wally Kopp’s . nod, .
however, as he hasn’t pitched in
several days,
Grover Miller limited the Oilers
to three measley bingles last night
in achieving his 16th win of the
season as Tyler won handily, 10-1.
The Trojans spanked Bob Crow
and Dutch Gravenmier for 13
binnles, starting their scoring bee 1
in the third round with a five-
run outburst, Two more tallies
were shoved over in the fourth
and three in the fifth while the
Oilers threatened but once, in the
eighth when they marked up their
. lon run.
Crow was a surprise starfer for
the Oilers. He has been playing
the outfield for several days due
to the injury of Ford Mullen, but
Skipner Jake decided to press
him into mound service and send
Hurler Jim Steger to the garden.
Crow got by fairly well at the
start but got into trouble in the
third while receiving rather shakv
support from his mates and finally
went1 to the showers in favor of
the rookie tosser in the fifth.
Valencia with four safeties led
I he Tyler attock. Manager Som
Hancock smacked a home run for
the Trninns’ most potent blow of
