Ev McNelYs Kinsmen squad fur- nished positive lproof last night that they will be very much in the hunt for junior baseball honors. Unlmpressive in their first few out- ings nevertheless McNeill has kept working away at them and their victory last night over the Reece, team, considered to be the one to beat out, showed the results of painstaking coaching work.

‘If ~0- 0 sl-

Kinsmen last nlg-ht looked like an altogether different squad than the one that absorbed s terrific lacing in two previous cracks at the Ryan- coached Anny team. strong defen- sively they came up with a couple of brilliant plays when their smart young llurler Currie seemed about tc get into deep dlflfcultles and if they can turn in like performances in succeeding tilts they are going to prove plenty tough to knock off.

And by their performance last night the league new takes on a far different complexion. It was being strongly felt that Reece would make a walksway of the league due to their undoubted hitting strength; Knights of Col- umbus squad were given an out- side chance but new with the Kinsmen showing definite results and with Knights also getting stronger every time out, it will not be at all surprising if Reece have o, tough time on their hands in en- deavoring to stay at the top of the heap.

B! WHTNIY MARTIN

NEW YORK, June 21—(AP)— It is our guess that Joe Louis will knock out Jersey Joe Welcott in about the ninth round of their heavyweight championship bout at Yankee Stadium Wednesday night.

It's juet a guess, lmderetandsnd we may be wrong as stealing. Pro- bably are, for that matter, since if Louis himself won't pick a round, it is rather lmpertinent for us to try to do it.

Here's our masoning:

Louis is the champion, and it's always "s pretty fair ides. to string aloud with s. champion. You can be wrong only once.

for the fight last December. l-Ie wasn't given any chance, so it was his chance to catch lnuis un- awares, and the only way he could do that was to be as keen. as a razor. Louis thought he had a set- up, and undoubtedly was lax in his conditioning, and he was so sur- prised when he found that Wal- cctt wasn't a setup that it was too late to do anything about it.

The some two guys will be in there again as were in there in December. with this difference: Figuring that Walcott was at his best in the first fight, it is reason- able to believe he won't be my better this time. 1.01115 wasn't at his best. and will be an improved fighter this time.

And. although a lot of folks think otherwise. s. Louis who was not at his best the last time won over a W-aloott who was at his best.

Louis was caught unawares by Walcoti/s eccentric style in their first meeting, He enters the ring this time knowing just what to expect.

Threatening rain and labia- sou’s failure to make the regu- lation I41 pounds forced the postponement.

The Ill-round battle had been let for Coualskey Park tonight.

Robinson, the champion, showing up half sn hour late for the weighing-in, pleaded that he did not have sufficient time to regain the 14'! pound notch. Ile said he weighed 151%, but unofficially it was said he was four pounds over that figure. He refused to get on the scales, while Docuecn, the boxing ' ‘ from New Orleans, tipped an even 141.

George Gslnford. Robinson's manager, agreed to poet an additional $4,000 as a gunn- tee that the title bolder will make the prescribed weight by noon next Monday.

Otis Gulgct. s cal-manager of Docusen. after insisting that Robinson's title should be vso- ated, accepted the postpone- ment mainly because threat- ening weather made it doubt- ful if the bout could be fought.
