Black credited his no-hit game
against the Philadelphia Athletics
on July 10, l947, to Alcoholics
Anonymous. On the down grade
after playing with the Athletics, he
was given another chance by Tribe
President Bill Veeck late in 1916.
Veeck said he would bring him
back from Milwaukee if he would
get back in condition. So Black
joined Alcoholics Anonymous.
Il owe everything to the A. A."
he said after his no-hit game.

Pitching in 10 games this year, he
won two and lost two. During the
two innings he pitched yesterday he
allowed only two hits and held the

Stars who have been knocking al

Brown Highly Respected.
Brown yesterday decisively de-
feated Colin Long, Australian Davis

Cochell and Seixas give indica-

this championship. Each, possess

Likas Is Smooth Racketer.
Likas and Gonzales present sharp
contrasts in the type of game they
play. Likas is a smooth and eff

strokes are made with a minimum
effort, have good but not over

the ball where his opponent least

Jimmy Bivins' advice to Ezsard
Charles Is to stay among the light
heavyweights. He couldn't do a
thing to those real big fighters.
said Bivins after last nights Grifnth
Stadium fight in which the u.s.
pound Charles did enough things to
the 1881 pound Bivins to get a
unanimous decision after 10 rounds.
Those weights put both barely over
the 175-pound light-heavy limit.
Jake Mintz Charles manager,
thinks differently. Gentlemen. you
are looking at the next heavyweight
champion of the world he an
nounced solemnly to the dressing
room mob. This man Is the best
fighter In the world, except Joe
Louis. If Mr.. Louis changes his
mind about retiring, we are ready
to oblige him.,
1t was = good speech and 1t was
we'll received. and Jake was happy
Almost everybody there agreed with
Jake's sentiments, they having been
expressed before a crowd made up
almost 100 per cent Of Charles ad-
mirers. A few newspapermen and
Sol Strauss, acting promoter for
New York's Twentieth Century
Sporting Club, were about the only
neutrals within hearing, and Strauss
didn't appear exactly neutral.
He could be the next champion
if he gets past Baksi," said Sol, who
is promoting meeting between
Charles and Joe Baksi early IN NO
vember. After that. who Is there
for him to hight"
The winner of the Jersey Joe
Walcott- Lesnevich fght was
suggested as q possibility.
Sol acted as though he didn't
consider that an important fight
"Walcott? He lost his last two
fights. Lesnevich? He got himself
beat by a light-heavyweight you
never heard of over in England
Business rivalry might be the res'
son for Strauss lack Of enthusiasm
for Walcott or Lesnevich. Then

zation which is moving into New
York to challenge the long -estab-
lished Twentieth Century.

round which he won handily gave
Charles much of his edge. Referee
Ray Bowen scored 1t s0-82. Judge
Bob Kilmartin called 1t 1898, and
Judge DR.. Joe Trigg said 94-ss.
Charles lost four points for low
blows in the second and eighth
rounds.
Charles, in fact. looked lazy and
didn't open up except when Bivins
landed blow or two and hurt him
slightly. When he got going good
along about the third round he did
fairly well. He was getting off ahead
Of Bivins and scoring frequently
with body blows. That was the way
it went most of the way When
Bivins opened up, Charles opened up
bit more to Keep In front.
There were no knockdowns and
nothing really close to one. Charles
spun Bivins around with left to
the head in the seventh, but Bivins
wasn't hurt much and slugged it
out with him toward the end. In
the tenth Charles went all out for
the first time and really showed
mis- edge over Bivins He pounded
away at Bivins' body, but Jimmy
was in>shape to finish okay.
The general impression was that
If Charles is next heavyweight cham

Of lack OF real competition.

He said he considers Western
European unity the basis of Euro

1T seems to me that the time has
come when it is politically feasible
