Joe Louis Knocks Out Conn In 13th The path of roses which Billy Conn tred last night for 12 rounds as he pounded and pelted Joe Louis about the ring, became a briar patch of defeat, as the Champion came to his old fighting self and sent home the punch and also the 60,000 customers and his crown back on its pedestal. Conn had his way for 12 rounds. Joe took charge of things in the 13th, and brought them to a quick end, as the highly rated, and pre dicted champ hit the floor for the first down of the fight. Predictions were that Conn would send the Detroit boxer to his Wa terloo, charging he had lost his incentive; had been eating too much, didn't need the money and for lack of opposition was not in spired. The experts will likely explain today, that the 12 rounds of ter riific punching which Conn inflict ed upon him, brought Joe to his old self, as he waded in on the 13th round for the smashing blow that sent Billy down like the tor nadoed Bismarck. Conn was rated as a good boxer, but lacked punch. Louis had the winning punch, and retained his title. Local FFA Chapter Wins For Third Time In State .'..

Donald Budge, united States professional cham pion, is the greatest player the courts have ever seen, Such a statement comes from none other that William (Big Bill) Tilden, who should be something of an authority on the subject of tennis topnotchers. r Big Bill has ruled a few courts hirmnlf, but to his way of thinking Don is "tops," Tilden believes that Budge pos sesses more natural ability than any player he has ever seen. Perfect physical fitness and the heritage of a perfect "tennis build have aided Don Immeasurably in his climb to the top of the net heap, according to Tilden. Big Bill said; "Watch Budge in action. Despite his 185 pounds, he is exceptionally fast He is constantly moving his feet when waiting for the play, thus enabling him to make a quick break for the ball when he has diagnosed its direction. He is just a natural. "Budge is the greatest tennis player of all time," Big Bill be lieves, and his attack for 365 days in the year is the most devastating the world has ever known.' "Ellsworth Vines may have been more brilliant on certain occasions, but over the sweep of a season's play, Don is the greatest, of them aU," Tilden concluded. Tree glory takes root and even spreads; all false pretenses like flowers, fall to the ground; nor can any counterfeit .last long. Cicero.
