NEW YORK, June 25.-Last
nights raindrops dealt a harder
psychological tattoo on Joe Louis
chin than Joe Walcott's.
For Louis is the type who would
suffer more from the enforced
postponement. Walcott's greater
sense of humor would help him
survive it.
Louis is more sensitive person
and more vain. He's more in
clined to be annoyed and irritated
than Walcott. Jersey Joe has
had to develop a lot of patience
in his lifetime, or else he wouldn't
still be trying at his age to become
the champion.
Fighters and fans alike are
undergoing a feeling of anti
climax. It's like hangover
feeling without having had the
alcohol. It's mentally painful to
wait for some one with whom
you have a date and then not
have the person show up. Physi-
Cal and mental fatigue are the
outcome.
The last-minute postponement
was the worst feature. 1t would
have been smarter managership
for the officials to have strung
along with the weatherman this
time. With the prediction of
showers in the evening, they
might better have announced
early in the afternoon that the
fight probably couldn't be held.
That would have been better
mental hygiene for the fighters
and for the public. Until the last,
both Walcott and Louis were kept
on the tenterhooks of maybe,
maybe, don't worry, maybe" An
early announcement would have
saved everyone the anxiety OF
waiting and a battle of hopes
and fears. Thousands Of fans lost
money, time and patience.
Fighting men like this require
training to a maximum degree OF
readiness. A postponement which
goes on for few days is bound
to affect their readiness. 1t may
reduce their savageness and
pitched fervor, producing a feel
ing of wanting to get 1t over with.
And fighters also are victims

ST. LOUIS, June 25.-Hit-
happy Ted Williams, in a hot
hitting streak which has zoomed
his batting average up to an
imposing AT, says his Boston
Red Sox teammates ARE con-
fident to a man we're going to
wind UP in the World Series"
The lean, lanky Red Sox out
fielder also says he has hunch
that "the rest of the American
League has a feeling Boston is
going to win the American
League pennant."
Williams, from all accounts, is
doing more than his share OF
making his hunch come true.
The leagues leading batter has
hit safely in his last II games,
including both games of yester-
dav's double header with the
Chicago White Sox.
He smashed two homers, boost
ing MS SedSUIl D ioldl w AZ, '"o
behind the league leaders, Ken
Keltner and Joe Di Maggie. He
upped his RBI leading to-
tai to 65 and further increased
his lead in runs scored and dou-
bles, scoring twice and getting
one two-base hit.
Williams two homers with a
man on base each time were the
margin of victory for the Sox in
the second game after they
dropped the opener. About the
Red Sox win streak of seven OF
their last eight games on their
Western trip, Williams said:

Mats Mix in Flag Race

By Burton Hawkins
Stor Stoff Correspondent

CLEVELAND, June 25.-Wash-
ington's chance to turn the Amer
ican League race into a jumbled
affair arrives this week end. Start
ing tonight, the Mats will battle the
! ileague-leading Cleveland Indians in
four-game series, and tie result
of that collision could transform
the pursuit of the pennant into a
confused scrap.
The Mats, who have emerged
from an eight-game losing streak to
snatch three successive decisions
will plunge into the most rugged
portion of their schedule tonight
when Early Wynn shoots for his
seventh victory at the expense OF
the Indians.
In their next 10 games the Mats
will be playing exclusively against
first division clubs. They have four
games slated with Cleveland, six
each with Philadelphia and New
York and three with Boston before
adjourning for the All-Star game.
Manager Joe Kuflel welcomed
yesterdays rain which washed out
scheduled game at Detroit. Our
relief pitchers have been overworked
and I'm glad they could get day
of rest before we meet the Indians
If we could get tough against Cleve-
land we could pick up a lot of
lost ground"
Kuhel plans to employ Sid Hud-
son, Al winner over the Chicago
White Sox in his last start, against
the Indians tomorrow and on Sun
day he'll use Ray Scarborough and
Mickey Haefner in double le-header
The Mats are slated to miss Bob
Feller in this series, but likely to
view service against Washington
are Bob Lemon, Gene Bearden and
Sam Zoldak, who have been an
moving the Mats consistently.

Are the Cleveland Indians ready

Boudreau stated recently that II
Feller won so would the Indians

Feller allowed the Yanks only

George McQuinn, Johnny Lindell

Vic Raschi stopped the Indians

Foe Tolls in Gym
By the Associoted Press

NEW YORK, June 25.-The
weatherman said "there'll be
fight tonight" as he predicted after
noon showers followed by fair
evening. The Joe Louis-Joe Walcott
l5-round heavyweight title bout,
originally set for Wednesday, has
had two 24-hour postponements be-
cause of rain.
In his official midmorning release,
the forecaster promised few scat
tered showers for late afternoon and
early evening, but that the latter
part of the evening would be fair.
The 15-round fight is slated to start
at 10 pm. (EDTJ in Yankee Stadium.
Louis awakened at $50 this morn
ing at his Pompton Lakes camp and
Immediately set out for a 3-mile
walk. He returned for brief sleep
and then ate two lamb chops for
breakfast.
Walcott, who spent the night in
New York, did six rounds of gym
nastics in the hotels gym.
Mike Jacobs, promoter of the bout,
telegraphed an invitation to Gov.
Thomas E. Dewey, Republican
presidential nominee, to attend the
bout.
The Twentieth Century Sporting
Club said at noon that sale of
tickets was running far ahead of
refunds and declared that during
the morning 1000 tickets were sold,
mostly of the $50 variety, and only
900 refunds were made.
At noon there was bright sunlight.
The police said 1000 ticket-hold-
ers had sought refunds last night
after the bout was postponed.
James Harley of Endicott, N. Y,
who came here with his wife and
son for the fight. said that "scalpers
had a field day" among those who
anticipated turning their tickets in
last night, only to find the Garden
and Goth Century Sporting Club
Offices dark.
They bought up loads of tickets
at half price or less" he explained.

of mass psychological influences.
If mass interest declines because
of postponement, their own in
terest begins to decline. 1t works
all around for a reduction Of
tension and interest.
People with a suspicious and
superstitious mind might look at
the rain as a trick of destiny
against them. However intelli-
gent man may be, he may be
subject to such unconscious fear
that something might happen
which would steal victory away
from him. : Both men may be
thinking that he surrey would
have won if he had fought on
Wednesday night. A great deal
of self pity and self excusing may
come from such thinking.
Louis is the prima donna and
he may we'll feel that everything
seems to work for Walcott, that
even the rain hinders him from
knocking Walcott out.
