Apostoll came tearing out of hl* corner, that angry scowl on his face, and raced acrons the riug and smashed three straight body punches Into n tall, skinny, pale opponent. The crowd howled with glee. Why. A post oil was going to break the kid in two. He waa the same old klller-dliler Fred who ate 'em alive. And then it began to happen. The pale. skitniy kid allpped expertly along the roes, circled Apo*toll and then began to pepper him with the fastest left hand seen In these parts for many a year. The crowd yelled the kid's name — Conn, Billy Conn from Pittsburgh. As Apo*toll's star set that evening. Conn's rose. Il was a close, desperate I light and Conn got the decision, but there was a genuine demand for a return bout. Thd crowd thought maybe Conn was nothing but a fancy Dan who had bad a lucky evening. The second fight also was close, and Apoatolt thinks to this day that he won It. So do lots of other persons. but the three men who coant —lhe referee and two judges- ruled otherwise Conn moved up again on the trail that waa to lead to a bout with Joe Ixtula. Apoatoll, whose title had not been at stake in either of the Conn bouts, agreed to lay the championship on the line against ('Merino Garcia, a hard punching Filipino who should have been an easy dish for Fred.
