But in recalling that Cooper affair, one of Conn's own warmest supporters was trying to point out that he's as good as he has to be, or wants to be . .. and that a guy like Joe Louis brings out the class in him, That can be very true.

The Pirates, by beating the Giants, 10 to 5, managed to pull up within one percentage point of the floundering sixth place New Yorkers—certainly no extraordinary achievement, But as they played their game at Forbes field last night, a drama was enacted that never before had taken its place in baseball.
