Joe Louis, Billy Conn To Fight In _ Yankee Stadium

The bout will give the Pittsburgh. fighter his second shot at Louis‘ crown Just five years and one day after the first meeting In 1941. Conn then came closer than any other challenger to detlu-oning the Brown Bomber. until Louis knock- ed him out in the 13th round.

That battle was held in the Polo Grounds, across the Harlem River from the. Bronx Borough Stadium. before a crowd of 60,071 and o. gate of $451,743. Thai; “takc". Jacobs said today, will be chicken feed compared to the prob- able gate for the June 19 go, an event that long has been expect- ed to keynote the post-war sports boom in the United States.

The promoter said that with lin- provemcnts now being built al; the Stadiunr, the huge baiiyard will seat more than 100.000 fans for a boxing match. And with a. $100 rinBSide “top" in prospect, Jacobs thought the total receipts would pass the all-time high of $2,658,- 660 paid by 104.913 fans who saw the second Jack Dempsey-Gene Tunnev bout in Chicago 19 years ago. Tops was $40 for ringside for that battle.

Only one other boxing match ever drew more than 100.000 fans -thc first Dempsey-Tunney bout in Philadelphia which attracted 120,757. Yankee Stadium has been host to three $1,000,000’ bouts. headed by the $1,083,530 paid to

see the Dempsey-Jack Sharkey fight in 1927. The others were Louis’ return bout with Max

Schmeling and his go with Max Baer.

Louis last put his title on the line March 27, 1942 when he took ample Abe Simon apart in six rounds for the benefit oi’ army em- ergency relief. Since then Louis. like Conn, has been in the army and both have put on hundreds

of exhibitions in various amy theatres. Both recently were dis- charged.
