For in addition to being a knockout puncher, Louis was also among the better boxers. So Conn bad to gamble his boxing skill and his greater speed against an opponent who could box and wreck you with either hand. Here's the story Conn told me of their only meeting: "When we came to the 12th round. 1 knew I was out in front. At least V s.u * a a . ? i icii sure i dm a lead on pointa. Then a funny thine hap pened. The 12th round was too pood for my own good. 1 outboxed Loots by a good margin in that round, adding to my lead. Near the close of the round I found a good opening and I nailed Louis square DU,y ,-om, on the chin with a right. "I saw his eyes roll and his knees sag. I knew Joe was hurt. So all I had to do in the next three rounds was to box and keep away. I know I could have done that, (or at the time Louis was a tired man. But this is where I got dumb in place ol being smart. I decided I could knock Joe out. I honestly thought he was all through. "So instead of keeping away I sailed in and started slugging with him, toe to toe. The pictures showed that, I made no effort to keep away from a fellow who could out-hit me with either hand. The great Conn wasn't willing to win a world's championship on points. He also had to be Killer Conn. "Well, I got what 1 deserved. I got knocked out. But I still figure a better boxer can handle a harder puncher, even when he is badly out weighed. These hard punchers don't like shifting, moving targets that are hard to tag." , ? ci WWACI (/?>. Ui^UggC/ Past records of the ring have usually shown the boxer can hold his own against the slugger. Jim Corbett proved it against John L. Sullivan, looking back some 53 years. Sullivan at the moment, how ever had been all through for some time, after 10 years of strong alco holic indulgence. What about Corbett and Fitz at Cflrson City? Well..'! n't forget that Ruby Robert could box as well as punch. Fitz in fact was a great box er. Jack Johnson Was another able boxer, one of the best. What abont Jack Demps#r and Gene Tunney, used as the leading example of boxer vs. pnncher? They foaght 20 rounds of which Tunney won at least 10?possibly more. But don't forget that the Dempsey of Philadelphia and Chicago was far from being the-Dempsey of Toledo. Seven years on top take their toll. Sam Langfbrd was a great fight er and a great puncher. But check Old Sam's record against 139-pound Jack Blackburn, who trained Joe Louis. Blackburn told me once that in seven fights Langford had never knocked him down. "I hurt Lang ford as much as Sam hurt me," Blackburn said. Blackburn was a master boxer, one of the greatest. Sam Langford will tell you that. Langford looked better against Jack Johnson and Harry Wills than he looked against Blackburn ? as Blackburn explained the case some years ago. ::: , . ? ? ? IID .?i uwiMUiuaDi'-' Why Conn Wasn't in Navy tlTliL T-- ? ? ttiui jue Lfouis in me army, why wasn't Billy Conn picked for the Davy? This question has been asked more than once. This is the story we get from a high navy official. "We had Coon all set to go into the ' navy. This was also O. K. with Conn. At the time we figured an army navy ring match might help out a lot in some financial war cam paign. Even if this never took place, we wanted Conn in the navy. So Conn reported at a navy re- j cruiting station. But instead of wait ing in line, Billy wandered around the -place. Finally a navy petty of- [ ficer, not knowing who Conn was, ordered him to get in line. The or der was given somewhat brusquely. ; It made no hit with Conn. In place of obeying the command. Conn told the petty officer what he thought of : him and just where he could go. And after this Conn left the navy recruiting place and went out to en list in the army." This is 100 per cent Conn. Just how Billy ever got by in taking army orders is another mystery. There is nothing the Pittsburgh fight er hates worse than taking orders, or even suggestions. He wants his own way. ? ? ? $80,000 a Year Men Ruth drew an $80,000 salary one year in baseball and that figure still remains tops in the diamond game. Walter Hagen made more than $80. 000 around that time, but no golfer in those days ever drew important money from tournament play. It is all different now. Nelson is already around the $00,000 mark this year with several big meney tournaments left in the South, aO in the $10,000 class.
