THE CIGARETTE OF COSTLIER You can Imagine a tidal wave, with the white surf crashing down. You can imagine a hurricane, In the heart of a shattered town. You can imagine an earthquake, as the reeling earth is spun. But can you Imagine Joe Louis with four grenades and a gun? FOR the moment there is the that Soldiers Two might even provide snappier reading than Kipling's "Soldiers Three." Soldiers Two are Private Joe Louis and Private Billy Conn, who this next summer will give some war reiief fund more financial aid than any other pair in sport could hope to furnish, in or out of uniform. A second Louis-Con- n outdoor show should be good for at least a $600,000 gate, the largest take any single war fund will approach this season. It Is the one major natural left. The Second Visit In the ring at Madison Square Garden recently, the contrast be-tween slender, alert Billy Conn and the pachydermic Abe Simon was startling. Simon was facing his second Louis visit, while Conn's second trip was on ahead. Conn and Simon were 80 pounds apart in weight and a " Privates Billy Conn and Joe Louis world apart in speed and skill. The contrast was a case of the rapier and the falling redwood. How Conn will make out In his second visit is something you'll be hearing about through many weeks ahead until Conn and Louis supply the answer. Whatever happens then. It will be a much more active eve-ning than Simon could offer. There will be 80 pounds less target enH far ffrAatnl" 1nsivpnpss In frnnt of the Louis barrage. And a far better fighter. Early Debating In the course of the next two or three months army life and army food will add several pounds to the present weight of both men. At least, it usually does, except in the case of the overfat. . Conn can stand additional weight better than Louis can. Joe looked physically perfect at 207, so far as hand speed and power go. His mls-- 1 takes were due to an overeagerness that upset part of his timing. Just how much speed he will lose at 212 or 215 Is a guess that belongs to the future. Conn could stand an extra five or " six" pounds, without speed cost. Ap-pearing for a minute or so in the ring just before last Friday's fight, Private Bill in his uniform looked to be thinner than half a toothpick. Conn 'still believes the best punch he landed in his first Louis fight was the blow that cost him the scrap. "When I nailed Joe near the end of the twelfth round." he said again. 'I knew I had hurt him. I knew he was tired. It was the best punch I had planted in the fight. Right there is where I made my mistake. I decided to get tough instead of getting smart. I honestly thought I could knock him out." These are merely some of the angles that will come up when the two famous army privates meet again. Power vs. Speed Hard punchers always have had their main trouble tangling up with speed 6r better boxing skill. You may recall the fact that In their 20 rounds Jack Dempscy could win only something like two rounds against Gene Tunney. Jack had 35 rounds in which to draw a bead on Tunney and Tom Gibbons with only one knockdown. And Harry Greb was a green mamba against the big fellows, as long as he had two eyes. Joe Louis had far more trouble with Billy Conn than he ever had against the mammoths and the mastodons. It took him 21 rounds, or thereabouts, to leave Bob Pastor flattened in the pleasant meadows. There is no intention here to sug-gest this far in advance that Conn has an even chance to win. But there are at least the possibilities of another big-tim- e thriller, especially when it is private soldier against private soldier for the largest re-lief gate any single contest has yet offered. Louis and Conn are sure to be sports major party for 1942 first, as a spectacle; second, as the more important contribution to the gen-eral good of a much tougher and a much bigger game the matter of needed relief; (Released by Western Newspaper Union.) THERE'S a touch of silver In the hovering over the tribal home of the Cleveland In-diansthey haven't been picked to win the American league pennant. And for good reason. No one knows for sure Just how muck the absence of Rapid Robert Feller will Influence the Indians' destiny in 1942. If the slack created by his enlistment In the navy Is taken np by other pitchers, the team will cause plenty of trouble. Most sports fans want the Indians to come through this year. Lou Boudreau, putting in his first year as manager, seems to have won the complete confidence of his men. That, in itself, is a major achieve-ment. The Boudreau is little more than a youngster in the baseball world, yet he has the calm confidence of a veteran pilot. And the Indians aren't known as a group of Pollyannas. Good Judgment Baseball men appreciate Bou-drca-smartness in selecting a pair of veterans like Burt Shotten and Oscar Melillo to be bis coaches. They are capable subordinates and can provide plenty of assistance. Feller's absence isn't the only In-dian problem. That is proved by the fact that the Tribe was lucky to LOU BOUDREAU N finish In a fourth place tie with De-troit in 1941 when Bob won 25. It Isn't logical to talk about pos-sible Improvement In the Tribe until It's proved that other pitchers have a good chance of winning most of the 25 games which would have been Feller's. Boudreau is fairly opti-mistic about his hurlers both vet-erans and newcomers. Among the former are Al Milnar, Al Smith, Jim Bagby, Harry Eisenstat and Mel Harder. The latter group Includes such artists as Ray Poat, Red Em-bre- e, Fete Center and Tom Ferrlck. Poat played ball with Boudreau at the University of Illinois. A right-hander, he was a star in the Three-Ey- e league last season, winning 17 while losing 6 games. He stands high with the Indians not because of his past record but because he looked consistently good in spring training camp. He has a fast ball, sharp curve and at least average control, perhaps better than that Ferrick won 8 and lost 10 for Philadelphia last year, but the In-dians look to him for his share of wins, either in a starting or relief role. Embree, bought from Wilkes-Barr- e, boasts a sensational minor league record. He won 21 and lost 5 in 1941. Job for Veterans Center, recalled from Wilkes-Barr- e, won 14 and lost 8 last sea-son. For some reason he hasn't been ranked as high as Embree, Ferrick or Poat, but on the basis of his early season showing he'll have a good chance to prove himself. While the newcomers will have a big job on their hands, a good share of Boudreau's pitching this season will come from Harder, Bagby, Smith, Eisenstat, Milnar and Joe Heving. Others on the roster who may give additional aid are Dewey Adkins, Millard Howell, Vernon Kennedy, Joe Krakauskas, Chubby Dean and Clint Brown. Another performer who will bear watching is Steve Gromek, who came up from Flint, Mich., with a 1941 record of 14 wins and 2 losses. In the opinion of Gordon Cobbledick, Cleveland sports writer, "If there's 'another Feller' in sight it would be Gromek." It's entirely possible that Cleve-land may finish out of the first divi-sion. On papet, Lou doesn't have the team that Oscar Vitt had in 1940, or Roger Peckinpaugh had in 1941. But Lou won't be downed with-out a bitter struggle. He has the spirit and intelligence necessary for a manager. What's just as impor-tant, at least in Cleveland, is his ability to get along with fellow ball players. The Indians' catching leaves something to be desired. At the present writing Gene Desautels looks like the No. 1 boy behind the plate. However, he can't take any-thing for granted. Otto Denning, bought from Minneapolis, is crowd-ing Desautels through his ability to hit. Neither of them will lead American league hitters. Desautels hit .201 last season with the Indians while Denning hit .260 for Minneapo-lis. Jim Hcgan, another possibility, also came up from the minors, hit .212 in 1941. Much will depend on the eventual catching strength. Buys First Poppy Five-year-o- ld Geraldine Reynolds is shown presenting President Roosevelt with the first Buddy pop-py of the 1942 campaign.
