Magazine's Ring Picks Start Row

Louis Named Over Conn as ‘Fighter of Year’; Garcia Gets Nod Over Hostak.

By JACK CUDDY United Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, Dec. 26.—The Ring magazine injects a couple of wallops into caulifiower controversies today | when it picks Joe Louis over Billy Conn as the “fighter of the year” and pats Cerferino Garcia on the | back for having registered “more creditable” triumphs than those of | Al Hostak. Proofs for The Ring's February issue reveal that the magazine has | given its annual merit award to | Heavyweight . Champion Joe Louis | for the third time in four years. This action is in sharp disagreement with a reecnt vote, of the Boxing Writers’ Association of New York. The writers’ organization voted the Edward Neil Memorial plaque to Light Heavyweight Champion Conn for having made the greatest contributions to the sport during 1639.

were far more important to the game than the rise of the handsome Conn, brilliant though it was. The New York writers previously had given the Eddie Neil award to Conn because he had resurrected the light heavyweight division and revived Irish fighting prestige by virtue of his triumphs during '39 in three classes. He whipped middleweight Fred Apostoli twice, wrested the light heavy title from Melio Bettina and defended it once against him, beat heavyweight Gus Dorazio. and defended against light heavyweight Gus Lesnevich, | However, Fleischer that Louis apparently attained his | peak in '39 with knockouts over [John Henry Lewis, Jack Roper, Tony Galento and Bob Pastor. Meanwhile, he raised his total ring [earnings to $1,680,000 by receiving durng the year $303,455.45. Fleischer admits that Conn is deserving of some glory and therefore calls him “the classiest fighter of the year.”

This Argument Really Hot

But this Louis-Conn controversy is mild compared to the hurly-burly existing in many quarters—particularly on the Pacific Coast—over the respective merits of the two claimants to the middleweight championship. Garcia of the Philippines and Los Angeles is recognized by the New York Commission, while Al Hostak of Seattle is recognized by the National Boxing Association. Fleischer braves assassination in Seattle by saying that Garcia turned in a better record for '39 than did Hostak, “and if Al hopes to gain universal recognition as titleholder, he'll have to put Garcia out of the way.” Fleischer then dons a bulletproof vest as follows, “but in view of the recognition given to each, we [list them on an equal basis.’ ’
