bout signed contract for a with Gunnar Barlund in Chicago stadium April 4 Its arrival marks the end of a three-yea- r campaign on the part of promoters to Induce to the flashy make his Chicago debut The document also signaled the start of dike’s Jacobs scheme to stir up Interest in the central states for heavyweight title - engagement between’ Conn and Champion Joe jouis This section of the country which takes Its fighting seriously cannot visualize the slender boyish Conn whose fighting weight is only 175 pounds as a fit opBrown ponent for the Bomber’ No specific date or site have been named for the proposed Louis-Con- n encounter but June Is the month and New York is the likely site According to critics d the match has been loaned to Chicago by Jacobs (for the consideration) in an effort to instill the idea the Windy city is considered as si setting for being Conn-LouPittsburgh home of Conn is being led to believe the event eventually will be held there $40 006 Gate Regardless of the ballyhoo campaign being mapped out by Jacobs for Conn-LouBilly’s forthcoming test against Barlund is of sufficient interest to attract a crowd which likely will contribute to a 40000 gate The Pittsburgher will receive 40 per cent of the net receipts which Is $ lot of money for a lad who has not yet demonstrated his ability In Illinois This fact recalls the time Henry Armstrong made his first and last Chicago appearance in an out of the way arena against an acknowland still attracted edged ’set-u-p gate receipts of $20000 The fans paid this money to see for themselves whether Armstrong was half the fighter they had read about n the newspapers The same situation holds true in Conn’s belated appearance against Barlund Followers want to take a look at Billy the youngster who has been called a masterful boxer and speed demon They want to learn whether’ he really has a chance against Louis Barlund Is expected to give these fans a good idea of Conn’s true ability ' Big Enough Barlund an acknowledged ’ trial horse Is big enough (he weighs 195 pounds) and punches hard enough (he stopped Buddy Baer) With to keep things interesting the possible exception of Paul Damski his manager and Bar-lunfriends no one gives the big Finn a chance to come through with a victory over Conn Barlund pounded out a close decision over Altus Alien a few weeks ago for his second triumph In as many starts In Chicago Tony Mus-t- o being a previous victim Consequently fans are confident Gunnar win extend Conn although there Is a possibility the fighter from Helsingfors may not go the limit if old face cuts are reopened On June 426 1939 Jack Roper techwas awarded an eight-roun- d nical knockout over Barlund when Referee Jack Kennedy ref used - to permit him to continue because of an eye cut Barlund was ahead on points when the match ended In a rematch Barlund obtained revenge by heating Roper f ?
