JOE J A B S — It was Joe Louis, the boxer, who fared the highly touted hut disappointing challenger, Billy Conn, Wednesday night The camera of International News Service caught Joe scoring

with his famed long left jab as Conn put up a weak defense. Here it was Joe who was doing the boxing to belie pre-ftght pre­dictions made by scribes throughout the country.
