NEW YORK. June 17 U»- I pick
Joe Louts to knock out Billy Conn to-
morrow night.
It will happen. I think, some tune
before the bell rings for the eighth
round It can happen In the first and
happen so fast that Conn won't have
a chance to throw' a punch.
Conn has speed, heart, cunning and
the the best left In boxing, but some-
where along the line 1 anus Is bound to
nail him Billy may sideslip the first
five punches and block the next four,
but the tenth one is likely to ratch
him squarely on the button When
that happens, some of the speed is
going out of his legs and he is going
to become an easier target.
Those who like Conn's chances—and
there are plenty of them argue that
this will be another Corbett-Sullivan
affair or another Dempsey-Tunney.
What they are trying to say is that a
fast little man who can box stands a
swell chance against a slugger
Taking the arguments up in the
order of their appearance, let us say
right, now that Louts is no Sullivan.
Sullnan was fat. old and ring dusty
when Corbett stabbed him out of the
title Louts is comparatively young,
fast and trained to the minute.
Nor is Conn any Tunney. Even
the boys who didn't like Gene in his
hey-day admit that he was a danger-

'By United Press,
Credit the Tulsa Oilers with the
ability to take it and come back fight-
ing
The Oilers looked like losers last
night when Houston pounded them for
five runs in the opening half of the
first inning Four Innings later, the
picture was completely reversed.
Tulsa loosened up Glenn Gardner
with a four run barrage in the third
and sent him to the showers In the next
frame, collecting five more runs. Red
Wilks took over for Gardner and was
belted out of the box In the seventh as
the Oilers got their last two markers
The final tabulation: Tulsa 11 Houston

The victory moved Tulsa to a single
I»ercentage point behind second place
Shreve|»rt as the Sports dropped one
to Fort Worth. 6 to 2 The Cats put
on early power to score five times in
the first three innings.

OG&E is CLASSIFIED AS A
AATIOAAL DEFEASE
UTILITY
OG&E supplies electricity to National De-
fense Premises. It, therefore, is classified
as a National Defense Utility, and its prop-
erty is protected by an act of the Congress
cf the United States (Chapter 926-3D, Ses-
sion 76 Congress) approved April 20, 1918.
Section 5 of the Act reads as follows:
— "That whoever, with intent lo injure, inter-
fere with, or obstruct the national defense
of the United States, shall wilfully injure
or destroy, or shall attempt to so injure or
destroy, any national-defense material,
national-defense premises, or national-
defense utilities, as herein defined, shall,
upon conviction thereof, be fined not more
than S10.000 or imprisonment not more
than ten years, or both."
In these times of emergency, it is the pa-
triotic duty of every American to report any
act or plot which endangers the nation's
safety. Thus, your electric service com-
pany feels free in requesting that you re-
port to local law enforcement agencies or
to the nearest OG&E offfcre, any person or
persons violating or planning to violate
any of the provisions of the above act, of
which you have any knowledge.
