‘Conn Again Billy Lacks Punch to Risk

. out of gas—where does he go from

pounds in the 13th round he hit

Proves He's J ust Bc Boxer

Meeting Joe Louis; Gives 4 esnevich Lesson.

By HARRY FERGUSON United Press Sports Kditor NEW YORK, Nov. 18.—Billy Conn still is light heavyweight champion of the world but—like an automobile

here? The Pittsburgh kid retained his title at Madison Square Garden last night in 15 heart-stopping rounds, 15 rounds of flawless boxing against

a tough and rugged guy named Gus|

Lesnevich. But the victory only showed again that Conn can’t punch hard enough to go against heavyweights. Lesnevich looked good for the first three rounds, but after that he was a novice taking a boxing lesson from a boy with the swiftest, surest left hand that has shown around these parts in five years. There have been stories that Conn would grow bigger, would pick up power as he grew, but last night he weighed only 171%

Lesnevich with everything except the microphones that hung above his head. Gus took it and came on for more.

Short of Opponents

Billy Conn

The victory leaves Billy sort of suspended in midajr. He has whipped all the good middleweights and light heavyweights in sight. He has proved that he has a fighting héart, and in the 10th round last night he proved that he could take one on the button and stay in the fight. Lesnevich put across a hard right that rattled Conn’s teeth and sent him back on his heels, but Billy came out stabbing with that picture book left and fought his way out of danger. The sign post points to an invasion of the heavyweight ranks for Conn, but there are not many who want to see Billy in there against Joe Louis unless some more weight is added to that graceful, lanky form. For one thing, Conn is a slow starter and three or four of Louis’ jabs and rights wouldn't add anything to Billy’s speed. He probably would be fogged up before he could get under way with his dazzling footwork and his waspy left.

Stinging Left Hook

It was a great show that Conn and Lesnevich staged. Gus is one of those solid, plodding boys who hits hard with either hand and who is willing to take three to land one. Last night it was a stinging left hook which came flashing at him from all angles that brought about his downfall. That left hook is a comparatively new weapon in the Conn arsenal. Up until now he has been a jabber—and what a jab it is!— standing up straight and fighting like somebody out of one of those old-time boxing prints. Last night he threw hooks, leaping through the air half the time to do it, and then came through with a short, chopping right to the head.

Young Stecher on Tuesday Mat Bill

Young Joe Stecher will be in the semi-windup on the Armory grappling card next Tuesday night. Young Joe, scaling 228 pounds, is six feet, two inches tall and fea-

George Tragos, 218, St. Louis. A few weeks ago, Everett Marshall, 224, La Junta, Colo, announced that he had started a drive which he figures will bring him the heavyweight title. Everett, a former champ, will top next Tuesday night’s bill and attempt to demonstrate just what can be expected of him. Facing Everett will be Wally Dusek, 229, one of the five “Rioting Dusek” brothers from Nebraska. Wally, like his four brothers, is a “toughie.” Also to see action will be Walter (Sneeze) Achiu, 180, Chinese wrestler. His opponent has not been named

if extended

Editor’ Note—This is the last of six articles on the food stamp plan, >

Distribution of surplus commodities to relief families is: not new. The Government has been doing it for five years, but doing it through local public-welfare commissaries. Last year it spent $68,000,000 for this purpose. This direct distribution system, which is being supplanted by the stamp plan of grocer distribution, has beén criticized as inefficient and wasteful. Grocers have complained of the competion. : Visions 15,000,000 in Plan

Many times $68,000,000 would be

spent anuually if the plan were made nation-wide. Milo Perkins, head bf the Federal Surplus Commodities Corp. which has charge of the stamp plan, estimates a total of 20,000,000 persons on the various kinds of relief, local and Federal. He said that on a basis of the present 75 per cent average participation in test cities this would mean that 15,000,000 people would

be included in a national plan.

Two dollars a month per person, or $24 a year, is the minimum Government expenditure in free bluestamp distribution for the purchase of surplus farm commodities. With 15 million participating, that would be $360,000,000 annually.

Advantages Weighed

Against the cost of the stamp plan are weighed: the advantages. There is a real concern among: people generally over the problem of want in a land of plenty—a glut of farm produce with no markets, and millions of people in the cities with only a pittance of food, and that supplied by the Government. i any ‘bankers and businessmen have learned for the first time, through their experience in helping set up the stamp plan in their cities, how little thousands of people in their communities exist on—an average of a dollar a week for food on relief, which means 5 cents a meal. To this the free blue-stamp distribution will add 2% cents, making the allowance 7% cents a meal.

Huge Potential Market

What nation-wide application of the stamp plan would do for the farmer, Mr. Perkins estimated in a recent speech: “The stamp plan offers a potential annual market for over 300,000,000 pounds of butter, about 352,000,000 dozens of eggs, over 25,000,000 bushels of wheat in the form of flour, over 6,000,000 bushels of corn in the form of cornmeal, about 140,000,000 pounds of rice (this has since been withdrawn from the surplus list), 87,000,000 pounds of prunes and about 2217,000,000 pounds of dry beans. For fresh fruits and vegetables there is a tremendous potential market. Given purchasing power, poor people will buy trainload after trainload of citrus, tomatoes, cabbage, peaches and other fruits and vegetables.”

COURT'S RULING MAY PARDON 300

La Porte Judge Cites 1857

Law in Indianapolis Convict’s Case.

(U. P.).—An opinion issued by

the Indiana state prison if affirmed by the high courts, Judge Mullen’s ruling was handed

down in the habeas corpus case of John N. Sullivan, 45, Indianapolis, serving 10 years for robbery. Sullivan was sentenced Feb. 24, 1930 to a one-to-10 year sentence for grand larceny. Feb. 24, 1932.

On Oct. 21, the same year, hé was senterrced to another 10-year term for robbery and grand larceny and simultaneously was returned to prison for violating parole. . According to prison interpretation

tenced to three years of his first term for parole violation before taking up his new commitment, Such a sentence was based upon a section of the Act of 1897 which set up the state reformatory. The statute states that “any prisoner at large ‘upon parole who shall commit a fresh crime and upon conviction for this new crime shall be sent anew to the reformatory or the Indiana State Prison, shall be subject to serve the second sentence after the first is served or annulled, said second sentence to commence from the termination of his liability upon the first or former sen-

1 tence.

Waits Further . Ruling

diana’s prison regulations, that the term of sentence and imprisonment of every convict shall commence from the day of his conviction and sentence. Thus Judge Mullen ruled that reference to the state prison in the statutes of 1897 was not sufficiently direct to repeal the rulings of the 1857 prison legislation. Warden Alfred Dowd of the Indiana state penitentiary said that Judge Mullen’s ruling would affect approximately 300 other convicts serving terms under similar circumstances. If the Supreme Court affirms the opinion, Mr. Dowd said, the other inmates would be eligible for veleace.

Manager Meeting Set

Governor M. Clifford Townsend, who addressed the convention and.

told league members that “a gov=

ernment can exist only so long as it serves the people wisely and honest ly,” is to meet Tuesday with the

practical city manager plan upon which the Legislature may act in

.| 1941,

This meeting on Tuesday may gies some indication of the league's ine fluence in meeting here. Perhaps the first concrete accomplishments may not come until the next Gene eral Assembly. The league is strictly non-partisan

ck, and holds no one system of govern. ‘|ment up to the laymen as a pana=.

cea for relief, budget, liquor and | other municipal problems. Nevers theless, most league members believe city government could be improved by the city and county manager plans. Home Rule Advocated

Several civic leaders and active

‘|workers in reform governments .| stated at the convention, with no

voiced opposition from league meme

Mrs. ! bers, that home rule is a goal which

should be achieved before a lasting city manager form of governm he can be successful in a community, One of these men, Murray Seae

nati, where the city manager sys

the polls, maintained that it was because home rule was achieved in Cincinnati that “our citizens were able to defeat the machine and get

rs. | the charter in effect.”

Walter Millard, National Municis pal League field secretary, advoe cated home rule and said: “With«< out home rule, wherein each -lo«

fina | cality solves its own problems for

itself instead of having a legisla= ture solve them, you will have ne workable machinery. If the league's influence is as lasting as: its leaders hope, Indi.

did last time, a plan whereby a Legislative council will be estabs lished to meet between general sese sions. Co-ordination Sought

been adopted in more than half a dozen states, -is to study pending legislation, gather factson pertinent problems, and act as an efficien group. : Back of all studies and recom mendations has been a constant underlying = irritant which was brought into the open by C. A, d | Dykstra, re-elected president of the league, in an interview yesterday, “The failure of citizens to go to

5 the polls and use their ballot, which

is their strongest weapon against ; corruption and dirty politics, is one

organization today,” he said. \ The Leagues desire is to get

\:: | People to the polls, get them in=

terested in their government and, Teas sll, to get them to fight for good government as they see it, ace cording to Mr. Dykstra. . Mr. Dykstra and the League are aware that Indiana's primary is next May. With all who are fight ing to clean. up relief, remove the graft in politics, and strengthen local government to protect democracy, they will be walehing the primary results.
