Billy Conn Baksi, a big, strong, rugged fellow, game enough and a pretty good puncher, has had some time in which to iron out a few kinks and polish off a number of rough spots. He was at least a prospect when he first came along, but just how much polishing he can absorb is another guess. His main needs have been more speed and much more cleverness, which only come through hard work along these two important lines. These two qualities don't look up and knock. In their last meeting Savold was much the smoother competitor, but Baksi still proved that he had certain possibilities that could be car ried much further with any touch of smartness or ambition.

Conn could always afford to put on few pounds without losing any epced. I hear that he Is now up IBS round pounds. It would be no trouble to boll this down to 180, which should be his more effective weight. The rituburgh entry has an maitng amount of vitality and too much courage for his own lally when he meets a Louis. Conn Is another who should bt a first-dai- s heavyweight at 34 or 35. provided he takes any care of hire-e- lf on the physical side. Both Louis and Conn have more than one or two years to go, before starting downhill at any rapid pace.

Army life, in the matter of keeping physically fit. Is sure to be better than civilian life. I know Louis has been boxing in army shows for the last two years. He is over his old fighting weight by some eight pounds, maybe ten pounds, but that will be easy to take off. Louis never gets far off the proper road. The primrose trail has never appealed to him. Outside of Gene Tunney, I'd say that Louis has kept In better shape, year after year, than any fighter I've known. Certainly old Ruby Roberts, winning the title at 35, was no stickler for the straight- path. Louis won't be as fast as be was a few yeara ago. But be will still have most of his punching power and most of bis ring skill. lie will keep most of his ring Instinct. Ilia reflexes won't be quite as rapid, but they will still do In a pinch. After all, Jack Dempscy had a three-yea- r rest between his Firpo nd Tunney contests, without an intervening fight. Jack, in th!a long layoff, did nothing like the ring worn joe Louis has been doing in the army. He was in nothing like the same shape that Louis It today, and will be for two or three years more. My guess would be thst Louis t 34 or 35 wlU stm be something to beat Billy Conn is harder to guess. Not so much has been heard about his rmy life or his army work.

RAISING Joe Louis and Billy Conn still have some time on ahead in which to retain a good part of their stuff. After all, Bob Fitzsimmons was 35 years old when he knocked out Jim Corbett at Carson City. Fitz. with a pair of shattered hands, was still good at the age of 40. Corbett was close to 34 when he carried Jim Jeffries into the 23rd round at Coney Island. It will be several years before Louis and Conn are as old as Fitz and Corbett were in two of their greatest By J.MILLAR WATT OP THREE SEASICK. ) stop! And No Kidding KIOYV YAGOTME nr.
