He must have bruised his left against Bettina's right check a thousand times last night, et when the upstate New York Italian left the ring his face was only lightly flushed, as though someone had daubled him genliy with rouge. Conn's footwork is lovely, too. He seems to float about the ring, so effortlessly does he move forward, backward and sideways. But his footwork never is directed toward getting him set to throw a sclid punch, lie never settles himself and lets fly with the power that his 170 pounds of Irish must posses. He seems to present a pretty pieture, on points, to harass and harry his foe rather than beat him down. Which, I suppose, is all right Pei haps the fight game could use! an esthete or two But let us not be so brash as to couple Conn's name with that of Joe Louis, and speak of a heavyweight title bout between the tvfro as soon as Conn adds a few more pounds. Lotus would ruin the Pittsburgher. He would shuffle right on through that beautiful exterior that Conn presents and break him in two with the first punch he landed. It wouldn't matter what kind of a punch it was, either. A hook to the body or the head, or a right to the same spots would finish Conn, and quickly. Bettina had hnn in trouble several times last nght, and all Bettina hus is an awkward stance,a big heart, and a mediocre assortment fo roundhouse punches In winning the first four rounds of the fight Bettina landed more substantial punches, inflicted more damage, than Conn did in winning Route BY HARRY FERGUSON Unites! Press Sports Editor NEW YORK, July 14 (I P) Sure and Mother Machrce's Irish eyes should be smiling at the shamrocks where the River Shannon flows today, for one of Erin's fighting boys has lucked his way into the light heavyweight championship ot the world. Theres no other word except luck for the victory that Irish Billy Conn won last night in the din made by 15,000 rasping throats at Madison Square Garden. He took the decision away from light heavyweight champion Melio Bettina, but a counle of punches one way or the other could have turned victory into defeat for him. Some Question The fight was that close. And even though the referee and the two judges were unanimous in giving the decision to Conn, there were competent observers at the ringside who thought Bettina deserved the nod. The United Press score sheet gave Conn seven rounds, Bettina seven rounds, and called the 10th round even. Bettina forced the fighting at the start He forced it in the last round, piling Ccnn into the ropes and slamming away at him with both hands. But in between the first and the 15th rounds Conn got the range and his picture-boo- k left jab was in Bettina's face so much that it looked like Melio was eating a sandwich made out of fist and leather. Wants Return Bout Jimmy Grippo, Bettina's manager, screamed fo ra return bout today. There probably will be on because the 4,000 persons who came down from Bettina's home town of Beacon, N. Y., went back convinced that their man had the better of it. For the first 12 minutes of the fight they were getting ready to light the bonfires on the main street of Beacon. Bettina was win, ning going away. In the fifth Billy got going Ho Pocatello Continues straightened Bettina up with a left that landed three times before Melio could get his hands up.

Great Exhibition PIONEER LEAGl K But the Pittsburgh kid had th range now and in the next four rounds he gave as great an exhibition of boxing as anyone would want to see.
