With the four-game, two-day Indianapolis series crowding a lot of concentrated catching on Giuliani's shoulders, Sheehan said the home Burt Weil, 37-year-old Cin nn cinnati housewife and three- UYJUYI gEEMS to me, many sports critics are overly enthusiastic in their appraisal of Billy Conn's boxing skill in picking him to defeat Joe Louis in their 15-round fight at New York Wednesday night.

Some writers rank Conn as the equal of James J. Corbett as a scientific exponent of pugilism. Others rate the handsome Pittsburgh Irishman on a par with Gene Tunney. Placing Conn on the same level with Corbett and Tunney is a laugh. Some of the scribes comparing Billy with Corbett never saw time Ohio champion, fought their way Friday to the finals of the twelfth annual Women's Western Open golf championship.

They staged their 36-hole scrap YOU'RE RIGHT! HE LOST for the crown today over Cincinnati country club's hilly, rain-soaked course.

Another doubleheader with the Tribe is on tap for the same time Sunday, which is Father's Day. the difference being that Mama will be admitted for 15 cents today but Dad will be just another face at the ticket window on the Sabbath. His pitching staff thoroughly rested by a two-day rainout which postponed both ends of the brief Louisville series, Manager Tom Sheehan said he'd throw Harry Kelley and Chief Hogsctt against the club which the Kcls have victimized six times this year compared to two defeats and one tie. Wade Klllcfer of the Indians nominated Ray Starr, the league's only 10-game winner to date, and Bob Logan, perennial portsided pest of the Millers, for this afternoon's lobbing labors. It will be Starr's first appearance on the Nicollet rubber since 1934, when, as a Miller, he made American association history by pitching and winning a doubleheader against Columbus.

Killefer indicated, however, that he will be satisfied if Starr pitches and wins the first game of today's twin bill, leaving the rest up to Logan. Frankie Danneker will return to the Kel collection at Gentleman Jim during the time he was champion, or for several years afterward when he was still tops as a boxer among the big fellows. Veteran boxing observers who have seen champions come and go for the past half century will agree that Corbett was the cleverest and fastest heavyweight that ever graced the ring, ONE HAD TO SEE CORBETT IN HIS PRIME TO APPRECIATE HIS RING TECHNIQUE.

If sheer grit and delcrminatin, plus fair boxing and hitting ability are enough to beat Louis, then Conn stands an outside chance of winning. But, his chances aren't as bright as some of the eastern sports writers would have you believe. It must he borne in mind that Louis is a fairly clever boxer in addition to being one of the three greatest punchers in ring annals. The other two were Jack Dcnip-spy and Bob Fitisinimons.
