Louis today ushered in rather raggedly the biggest ballyhoo buildup of

the infant sports boom.

Often working in complete unison, the uppers and the lQwers clicked out the news that Joe had signed to fight Billy Conn “or some other

suitable opponent” next June for the title, That “other suitable opponent” gag didn’t even make the bored Joe look up from his studied stare at the action six stories down on Broadway. The champ, they say, is a pretty fair box ‘fighter, But he'd also spot you spades at looking out of windows with that deadpan expression so many of his opponents have come to detest.

Reporters were knee déep and|’

photographers were trying to elbow in close to the ‘scene of.action when Uncle Mike, freshly shaved for the occasion, made the historic announcement in his eyeteeth facsimile of Morse code. Joe, Uncle Mike proclaimed, will

will go against Conn after four months of training. Conn will sign on the similar dotted line tomorrow. Came a deep silence and Mike, a little hurt, asked testily: » “What's the matter, aren't there any questions? After alll this is going to be the biggest fight in history.” Joe still stood with his back to the assemblage, looking out the

Strongest challenges came from the Panthers of South Bend’ Riley, the team that ended Washington's 26-game victory string in the eastern wing of the Northern Indiana conference last Saturday, 6-0. It was the Panthers’ first loss since the 1942 season. But a pair of unbeaten Evansville clubs—Reitz and Central— plus the scourge of the North Central confergnce—Muncie Central's Bearcats— and the mighty Rough Riders of East Chicago Roosevelt also made strong moves for the throne held by Washington the last’ two seasons. Linton of the Wabash valley ranked as a challenger, too, although it has been tied. Riley has taken five games this season, However, before Riley wraps up the mythical state banner, it probably will have to get by the vaunted East Chicago Roosevelt team in the east-west playoffs of
