Em &af Sports Scramble Is On for Vacant Heavyweight Crown
Series of Fights Planned
To PickLouis' Successor
~ the Asseeiotsd Press

NEW YORK, June 26.-The scram-
BILE is on for the vacant heavyweight
championship. Right now Jersey
Joe Walcott, lightheavyweight cham
pion Gus Lesnevich and l75-pound
contender Ezzard Charles seem to
have the edge on the pack in the
chase for boxing's most priced crown.
Joe Louis created the vacancy last
night with his explosive righthand

Shortly after 10 had been counted
over the fallen challenger, the
heavyweight champion announced
he had fought his last fight. Thus

Eddie Eagan, chairman OF the

First 10 Rounds Wors
Ever Fought in Title
Match, Rice Says
-AP Wirephotos.
By GrontIond Rice

NEW YORK, June ga once
rickety planet is back on a solid
basis again. Joe Louis still is the
heavyweight champion Of the world.
The leaning Tower of Pisa still
stands. The Hanging Gardens Of
Babylon have their wild flowers and
the Tai Mahal is open for busi-
ness.
After 10 of the worst rounds ever
known in a heavyweight champion
ship fight Louis knocked out Jersey
Joe Walcott in the 18th round, with
only 4 seconds left as Jersey Joe
was counted out.
Througho the first 10 rounds nei-
ther made any pretense of putting
up a fight beyond one or two rare
flurries. Louis looked like a man
in a dream. Walcott gave the idea
he didn't want the title and wouldn t
take it.
The first two rounds were 1 series
of feeble left-hand flicks that
wouldn't have Jared a humming
bird. In the third round, Walcott
threw his first right and knocked
Louis down again.
Few Real Punches Thrown.
This was Walcott's third Louis
knockdown. proving again how wide
open Louis is for a right-hand punch
thrown by anybody who happens
to be in the same neighborhood.
In the fifth round, Walcott
threw another right-hand wallop
and this time Louis buckled to both
knees.
! These were two of the very few
real punches thrown. Most of the
fight consisted of feather-duster
antics that might have been ex-
4hibited by two children, aged 6.
! Round after round went by minus
any form of action. The $4,000
spectators who had spent over $780,
900 began to realize they were look
ing at a S. show. 1t was apparent
after the first two or three rounds
that Walcott was not going to try
! for knockout or win. All Jersey
Joe wanted was to 60 the limit
again. 1t also was apparent that
Louis had slipped at least so per
cent from his better days.
He was only a faint shadow of the
Louis that was. Louis did most OF
the stalking. but after catching up
with Walcott he was content with
weak jab or with nothing at all. 1t
was all different in the 18th round.
The siow- thinking Louis suddenly
realized the fight was coming to a
close with nothing happening.
Then Louis Got Mad.
Louis for the first time came out
on his toes, ready for action. He
reminded you of sound sleeper
VINO had suddenly been awakened.
/ The two met and began swinging.
Walcott nailed Louis with another
right. The blow had its jarrlng
effects. Louis suddenly was sore.
He began a savage assault with both
hands. 1t was slam-bang until he
finally got Walcott against the ropes.
| Walcott tried to get away, but
Louis hit him with a terrific upper
cut that started most of the trouble.
He followed this wrecking punch
with a furry of rights and lefts as
Jersey Joe finally whirled in the
air and fell fiat across the canvas.
He made a feeble attempt to get up
at 8 and 8, but finally decided the
canvas was the safest spot.

Mats AIetness Wins
4th Straight Game
As Indians Topp|e
By Burton Hawkins
Stor Stcff Correspondent

CLEVELAND, June 26-The Mats
who have encountered their share
Of i'll fortune, now are getting good
luck in big patches Washington's
four-game winning streak has been
accomplished by timely insertion of
opposition errors, but the Mats cal
culate it's about time they were
getting the breaks.
The Mats 81 victory over Detroit
on Wednesday stemmed from a
brace of errors and last night when
Washington nipped Cleveland. 3-2,
here before crowd of 81, ,408 it was
case of being more fortunate than
ferocious.
Early Wynn. who notched his sew
enth win with a six-hit perform
ance. twice saw the Mats come from
behind and figured prominently in
the seventh-i inning tWo-run rally
which assured the triumph, but
Wynn could have been 2-1 loser
except for an errant throw by Pitch
er Eob Lemon.
Cleveland had spurted into a 10
lead in the third inning on Jim
Hegan's single and Lemons double,
but the Mats locked the score in the
fourth after Ed Stewart doubled
and shifted to third when Mickey
Vernon beat out an inf1eld tap.
In that situation Earl Wooten
lifted a meek pop fly back of second
base which Joe Gordon shared, but
the alert Stewart sensed Gordon
would be out of position to throw
and broke for the plate. He scored
before Gordon's off ff-balance throw
bounded to Catcher Hogan.
Gordon's 18th homer boosted the
Indians into 81 lead in the fifth
but, with one out in the seventh, Al
Kozar looped single to center and
Johnny Sullivan tapped routine
grounder to Lemon. 1t should have
been converted into an easy double
play, but Lemons throw to second
was high and both runners were
safe.
Sulliyan's Speed Tells.
Manager Joe Kuhel ordered hit
and-run play just as AL Evans
smacked a grounder at Lemon, and
Kozar thus moved to third and Sui
livan to second. Wynn then hit a
bounder over Lemons head and be-
fore the ball descended to Gorden
Kozar had crossed the plate.
Wynn barely heat Gordon's throw
to first and Sullivan kept sprinting
as First -Baseman Eddie Robinson
held the ball and enabled Johnny
to score with what developed to be
the winning run.
Sid Hudson was to oppose Bob
Muncrief on the mound here today,
with Ray Scarborough and Mickey
Haefner slated to face the Indians
Gene Bearden and Sam zoldak in

But no, said Louis, perspiring IN
the 80-degree heat afterward.
"I1I be active in this years Pres1-

not in the ring.

is the kind of man who seems likely

was knocked out by Jack johnson.
