NEW YORK, June 26.-Picking
on Joe Louis, world heavyweight
ring champion, more than single

Jersey Joe Walcott tried Friday

the refrain he started months ago
in losing a split decision to the
champion and Jersey Joe got just
exactly what nine other fellows
got who figured they could do
better in a second battle with
Louis.
Walcott outboxed Louis. He had
the champion at a decided dfsad-
vantage for 10 rounds. Only Louis
aggressiveness, his willingness to
keep coming in, to carry the fight,
kept him in the running. Jersey
Joe landed many the greater mum.
Der of telling punches in those
first ten. He dropped Louis to
the canvas in the third-for the
count of one.
But in the 18th, the roof fell

Crews Destruction of Gardens

nothing about what was happening
at darlington today but declared
that the company had found the
gardens proved to be more Of an
eyesore than anything else. He said
only about a tenth Of the tenants
who planted gardens cared for them
properly and the result was a cror
of weeds detracting from the beauty
of the development.
J. B. Howell, assistant manager
at darlington, said the only things
ordered cut were flowers and plants
not on the list of permitted shrub
berry. -
When told of complaints that
some shrubbery on that list was cut
down, he said possibly the shrubbery
was too small to be recognized. Mr..
Howell declared that last winter
tenants were informed they would
not be permitted to raise flowers.
He said he did not know OF any
specific order to cut down the
flowers, but believed the workmen
were busy today because q shipment
Of sod had been received.
TT has been our plan all along 70
sod right UP to the sides OF the
