June 8 (AP). Billy Conn, the classic young boxer from Pittsburgh, is bo convincingly certain that he will win the heavyweight championship from Joe Louis on June 18 that he has even this charter member of the Louis-is-terrific club beginning to waver to and fro.

Billy has grown up remarkably In recent months. Not physically, for he finally has given up hope of outgrowing his natural 180 pounds, but mentally. Now, instead of making flip cracks about his opponents and refusing to admit that anybody else can fight a lick, he sits and tells with the cold detachment of a surgeon how he will defeat the big Negro. He sounds like a much more dangerous Billy Conn than was the slim-waisted firebrand who used to fly into a cursing rage when hit solidly and slug away like a back-alley fighter. "I've always been that way," Conn smiled.

"I know, you think IH do that with Louis, too, and get my head knocked off. But I won't. Ill fool you and Louis and everybody else this time. I want that championship and I want to be on easy street too much to let my pride stop me. "Maybe he'll knock me down.

I know Joe can punch, and he's a great fighter. But if he does put me down I'll guarantee you I'll take a full nine-count, and when I get up I won't be standing there i with my hands hanging down. "I'll be stepping around and giving him this with my hands and making his miss. Joe doesn't knock anybody out with one punch and I think I'm a little better boxer than these guys he's been putting away. "I only hope he keeps waiting for me to get mad or careless.

By the time he finds out different III have that championship. Ill holler in that radio: "Easy street, here 1 come. Here comes Billy, Conn. "Whv Hn think ran take punches and keep on stepping around him? Because I took all Lee Savold had and because I don't think Louis can hit a bit harder than Savold. That's why.

Savold broke my nose the first time he hit me, and another time he caught me one on the head that I thought my brains were coming out the other side. But you saw how I tied him up and went on feeding him left hooks." For that matter, it is necessary only to look at Billy to know he has been able to protect himself. Except for the scars of old cuts about his eyes, his face is almost unmarked. In street clothes, few persons would take him for a fighter. Unusually wide shoulders and big wrists and hands are about the only give-away.

Miller Is Medalist In Excelsior Meet EXCELSIOR SPRINGS, June 6 (AP). Clancy Miller, Atchison, won medalist honors yesterday in the twenty-fifth annual Excelsior Springs invitational golf tournament, shooting a two-imder-par 71. Miller took the medal away from Percy Gill, Rolla, who previously carded 72. Next in the field of 68 players were Hi Myers, Kansas City, with an even par 73, and Glenn Oatman and Hap Gardner, Kansas City, and Hudson McGuire, Leavenworth, each with 74.

After several warnings, Spandle stopped the match and raised Szabo's hand.

Then followed the usual ringside wrangling, with Stecher in the middle of it, vehemently protesting. But the decision stood. Nagurski admitted that he had been using the illegal hold, but said he should have received two warnings before being disqualified, and that Szabo should have been disqualified for hitting with his fist. And Stecher said Nagurski hadn't grabbed the ropes at all. which would have made the hold legal.

Anyway, it was nothing new. Nagurski weighed ,235, and Szabo, who won his title in the strange role of filling in for the original challenger, "Ruffjr Silver- stein, who was incapacitated by boils, came into the ring at 218.

The return bout, if as expected, nothing serious happens in June, would be a natural. All Set for the 'Triple Crown" Tet. ACCORDING to all reasonable conjecture Whirlaway's effort to complete his "triple crown" by winning the Belmont Stakes Saturday should be his easiest That powerhouse stretch drive following a slow beginning, which featured his Derby and Preakness victories, wil' be favored in the Belmont by the mile and one-half distance There is every reason to believe that Whirly will like the route. However, there's always the chance that other contenders may like it even better Beyond question, however, Whirly has sold himself heavily to the racing public He is perhaps the most colorful horse since Man O'War because of his sensational finishing power And he'll go to the Belmont post at odds-on, no matter what the field. If he wins, he'll join Sir Barton, Gallant Fox, Omaha and War Admiral in the Hall of Fame, which includes Triple Crown victors.

Setting Mutuel Record at Belmont. THE mutuel handle at Belmont is headed for a world record. The first 17 days of racing there saw a daily average 1 mutuel turnover of $945,000. And this week's contributions may bring the average up to $1,000,000 for the entire meeting. This is said to be a world record.

But, although the track promoters are cleaning up this year in the metropolitan area, there's a bad time coming, perhaps. Thh would result if the plan to impose Federal taxes on race track betting, now being considered in the Ways and Means Committee at Washington, becomes effective. Already a wail has gone up from Florida, where Gov, Holland recently wired a protest against further taxation of racing. The Governor pointed out that between the State and the track, 15 per cent of the mutuels is taken out of circulation. declared further taxation would wreck racing altogether.

If a 5 per cent Federal tax were- imposed, Florida race customers would be paying $1 for the privilege of betting every S3 wagered. Not even a race track nut can long stand that bankroll attrition. SOFTBALL TONIGHT'S SCHEDULE. ST. LOt IS PARK Mt.

JEff. 1020 "THE STYLE CORNER" For after 24 minutes and 31 seconds of his enagement with the Hungarian from Santa Monica, Nagurski was disqualified by Referee Lou Spandle, thereby los- ing his claim to the National Wrestling Association championship and causing his manager, Tony Stecher, to issue a statement that he would make formal protest against the verdict to the Missouri Athletic Commission today. Commission Chairman John J. Griffin, in recognizing Szabo as the N. W.

A. titleholder, himself had something to say also: "Nagurski and Stecher had both been fully warned. I went to the dressing room before the match and told them that the Bronk would be disqualified if he persisted in grabbing and. butting. The referee was absolutely within his rights.

We have few rules in Missouri, but we expect them to be obeyed." Well, that was the outcome. As for the match itself, although Nagurski, as might be gathered, used his usual football field tactics, the Californian stole the spotlight from him with some clever work that a good part of the time put the Former all-America football star on the receiving end of the rough stuff, much to the delight of the 3606 fans. Szabo's favorite hold was what he called a "halch" lock, resembling a front flying mare. What caused Nagurski's grief was his habit of grabbing the ropes Coach Bassler Is Released by Browns The first change in the Browns under Luke Sewell, new manager of the club, came today with the announcement that Johnny Bassler had been released as coach. Bassler came to the Browns this spring.

Officials said that no successor was under consideration. his arm at the catcher" he suffers so much pain he can't continue in the game. "Fortunately this is not a constant disability of the veteran," Dr. Bennett declared. "I have examined professional pitchers who after 20 years of active baseball life show no such deposits, while on the other hand I have seen youngsters of 20 to 21 years of age in whom these same changes have already occurred.

"They may develop gradually with an increase in severity or may have a sudden onset. The pitcher may be able to tell you the day and the pitch when he suffered the sudden pain in the back of his shoulder. The pain persists and he throws 'hard' only a few innings when the pain becomes so great that the arm feels The orthopedic surgeon described an operation for removal of the bony deposit, but said his experience has not been sufficient to permit him to advocate the operation with assurance a ball player could resume his profession.

He calls it a "sore shoulder," but a doctor might find it's caused by a deposit of bone on the lower edge of the socket in which the ball of the arm moves. Dr. George E. Bennett, associate professor of orthopedic surgery at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, said yesterday the disability results from the excessive use of the arm and the tremendous pull of the muscles and tendons. One of baseball's foremost fans in the medical profession.

Dr. Bennett has treated scores of pitchers for this and other arm and shoulder ailments. In a paper prepared for delivery before the American Medical As-socation, he described the bone growth in the arm socket as a disability seen only in baseball pitchers. The bone deposit resembles those in older persons with arthritis. It causes no pain or discomfort for normal function, and the pitcher can throw at moderate speed but not fast.
