Louis is an almost unanimous choice to win by an early knock-out tonight in his scheduled 15-round battle with Challenger Al McCoy in the 12th defense ot his heavyweight crown. One of the few dissenting opinions comes from the McCoy camp where the Maine-born battler and his entourage are promising to give Louis a tussle over the entire route in this first heavyweight title battle ever to be fought in Boston or New England.

No McCoy Money But the fistic experts and the man in the street, who is expected to pack the Garden to capacity tonight, are stringing along with the champion, and, failing to find any McCoy money, are laying their bets on the round when the Bomber will administer the coup-de-grace. Most of the wagers, incidentally, are on the first few rounds. The main bout scheduled for 9 p. ro. (C.

While the consensus is for an early knockout, no one has questioned McCoy's courage and ability and the challenger, in the best physical shape of his career, is depending on these factors to aid him in getting an even break or upsetting the champion. Louis is following his customary practice of making no predictions, but the indications are that he that would brighten the coat, sharpen the teeth, and deepen the bark of old Rover.

The game will start at 8 o'clock. The contest was to have been played tomorrow night but was changed to today because the Squires will meet Algoma Wednesday night instead of Thursday as planned originally. Coach Nick Miketinac's five still has not settled down enough to warrant giving the Squires any chance to defeat the Wildcats. West won easily on its own court, 33 to 18, two weeks ago. St.

Eagle and matchmaker for the By JOHN WALTER Press-Gazette Sports Editor READ WHAT JOHN KIERAN, sports editor of the New York Times, has to say about Jimmy Conzelman, the colorful coach of the Chicago Cardinals, who made such a hit at the Traffic club banquet here recently: "It was the day before the late lamented National Football league championship playoff and George Preston Marshall's scalp was still attached firmly to his head. The chief of the Redskins was asked which coach in the league had turned in the best job during the season.

"Most tf his listeners everyone within voice range always is a listener when the Magnificent Marshall takes the floor expected him to name Jock Sutherland of the Dodgers. But George Preston is never a man to do the expected. He nominated Jimmy Conzelman of the Chicago Cardinals as having accomplished more with less material than the clever Scot from Brooklyn. "Conzelman is a fantastic character who had the Cards thinking they were the Bears in ability, although his squad consisted of 'twenty-two freshmen, eight castoffs and three Eagle scouts' his own description. They had more of that die-for-dear-old-Ratgers spirit than any club in the.

circuit, and if the shrewd Conzelman can't make his Cardinals a championship threat in the future the franchise might just as well be abandoned. "He is an incredible person, this ever-laughing man with the shaggy grey hair. He has been sports columnist, radio broadcaster, after-dinner speaker beyond compare, song writer, football coach and once even a club owner. In 1925 he was owner, advertising manager, publicity man, coach and quarterback of the Detroit Panthers, the Detroit Lions of the present setup. "But Jimmy ran out of folding money and had to turn the franchise back to the league for nothing.

Last year, when that same franchise sold for $225,000, he remarked: 'That deal alone gives you an idea of my astounding talent as a business "For more than a quarter of a century Conzelman has been connected with football in some shape or form, and in all that time he has encountered thousands of players.

So I carried the ball myself and Lynch practically drove Weir into the next lot. A halfback made the tackle some 20 yards down the field. I walked back and there was Lynch helping Weir to his feet.
