tt town's amateur boxlns “audits-grained their‘ winnins streak to three straight in Inter-

City competition when they were returned the winners in seven out of the eight inter-city bouts against lnghill staged at the Sporting $1: last night. The local fghting team scored two knockouts and were awarded the judges’ decision in five other bouts to register a drvlsive victory whllc the Spring- hlll team gained their only win when Kid Smith took_ a decision m,“ young Benny Binns ln the second bout on the card. The fi hters took their cue from the relfminsry ‘between Kid Reid md obo Mills which quickly re- solved into a slulzsins motoil no soon as the fighters squared off and carried right through to the main event providing action all the way. the only delay in the pro- ceedings coming when the Poul- ton-Blah; Hayden bout was de- clared a “no contest" by the referee.

Main Event

The main event between Allie Fraser, 106 of wringhill who en- tered the rhig with a; string of twelve consecutive victories and Lloyd Martin, 158. proved to ne just that as the boys staged a rugged pier 6 brawl in three action-filled rounds that had the crowd shout- lng their encoura t as Mar- tin took the decision. The Spring- l-liil battier started off with a rush and for a while it looked as though Martin would be no. 13 on his hit parade but he weathered the storm wisely saying himself for the next two rounds. Martin took the offen- sive at the start of the second and

siu ged it out toe-to-toe with hlsl chant of

er nentand as the round ded ad Fraser groggy in his own corner and was pummeillng him t will. The fighters entered lhe i st round on even terms ‘.:'_'t the Charlottetown fighter had more staying power and was sw a close decision. Both udxes voted for Martin but only

y narrow margins. "

Barlou started out as though he was going to give Mc- Closkey a busy evening but a few exchange-s and he wml. clown to stay. McCloskey weighed 147 and Barlou 147 1-2.

NEW YORK. June l8- (CP)-— S ed and power collide tomorrow n ght at New York's Yankee Stad- ium when Joe Louis, world's heavyweight boxing champion. makes his first post-war defence of the title against Pittsburgh Billy Cmn in a lo-round bout that will be witnessed by an estimated 65.- 000 fans paying more than $2,500,-

000.

Louls. despite his 30 years. is a 2 l-Z-to-l shot to flatten Conn as he did five years ago in their first encounter. The big Detroit negro,| making his 22nd defence of the title he won from Jim Braddock in 1937. is given the edge on his out- standing knockout record arld on Billy's lnabillty-—so far-—to land lethal blows.

Conn. 28, has shown up better .n training than his rival and is fast and clever. He will weigh in at 180 pounds to Louis’ 20B—a six- pound increase over his weight ln the 1941 battle.

Gamblers are betting 8 to 5 that Louis will chill Conn somewhere in the first 10 rounds and are offer- ing the same price that if the bout goes the distance Conn will gel the decision.

Although the fight has been ballyhooed as the greatest—llnan- cl-ally-of all time, it was an open question tonight whether box of- fice returns would break the re- cord established by the second Dempsey-Tunney bout in 1927 when the gate was $2.658.660. New York- ers have been remarkably cool to tomorrow night's event and almost 80 per cent of the advance sale was made to out-of-towners.

On the whole. the scale of prices from $100 at ringside to $10 in the ball park bleachers was looked on with disfavor hy flght-uzise natives of New York. It was reported that the $30 and S50 seats were going begging.

Weather forecasts were for show- ers tomorrow morning but with the evening clear and cool. If a postponement is necessary. the fight will be set over until Thurs-

day.

Barring a postponement. Louis and Conn wil answer the first- round bell at 10 p.m. E.D.T.—I1
