Jul; 14-RUB- Billy Conn, a fugitive from a collar ad. < is the new light heavyweight champion of the world, having * won the title last night by beating Mello Beitina In a 15-round bout in Madison Square Garden. Come to think of It. “heating" is hardly the word to use in de- ' scribing what Conn did to Rettlna.' Conn never will beat anyone He Isn't that sort of a fighter. He is a classicist with a capital “C,“ and has a style remindful of the hallet ruase—all grace and rhythm and that aort of thing. His left hand Is Conn's heat weapon and It la a thing of beauty, not brutality. He nicks II with the flowing smoothness ot a swan , bobbing its neck, and when It lands it la scarcely damaging enough to cause the judges to credit him with landing a punch. Lovely to look at. yes; pleasing to the connoisseurs of the manly art. certainly; but not of sufficient 1 power to hurl an opponent. He must have brushed his left against Bettlna's right cheek a thousand times last night, yet when the upstate New York Italian left the ring his face was only lightly flushed, as though someone had daubed him gently with rouge. Conn's footwork is lovely, too. He seems to float about the ring, so effortlessly does he move forward. backward and tideways. But bls footwork never is directed toward getting him set to throw a solid punch He never settles himself and lets fly with the power that hie 170 pounds ot Irish muscle must possess He seems content to present a pretty picture, to win on points, to harass and harry his foe rather than beat him down. Which. 1 suppose. Is all right. Perhaps the fight game could use as esthete or two But let us not I* so brash as to couple Conn's uame with that ot Joe Louis, and apeak of a heavyweight title bout between the two as soon as Conn add* a few more pounds Louis would ruin the Plttshurgher He would shuffle right on . through that beautiful exterior that Conn presents and -break >»•"» p» • with the first punch he landed. It wouldu t matter what kind of a punch jt *». either, A hook to the body or the bead, or a right to the same spots would finish Conn, and quickly. Bettina had him In trouble several times last night, and all Bet Hua has Is an awkward stance, a big heart, and a mediocre assortment of roundhouse punches. Even so. I thought he fought well , enough to earn a draw, and that the fight was much too close to warrant the passing of a title. He was all over Conn Ilka paper on a wall In the final round, and this closing aggressiveness, to me. at least, earned him the right to an ven break He was the stronger
