has gone back or is as good as last
year.
The featherweight crown is con-
sidered to be tanned with Willie Pep,
fighting man, as champ consider
ed by many to be only second best
to Sandy Saddler. Saddler kayoed
Pep in four the first time they met
for the crown, but in the return
match, a bleeding weary Pep was
victor over an outsmarted Saddler.
Nobody seems to be able to get back
in the ring again, however.
AS viewed from this corner the
boxing business is not in the best of
shape. New fighters and new blood
are needed - fast.

TITLEHOLDERS LACK
AUTHORITY IN RING

The heavyweight championship is
typical of the whole setup in boxing
today, The September Lee Savold-
Bruce Woodcock bout in London
will add second champion to the
list - a champion who is likely not
to be as impressive as Charles.
In fact. Savold has been on the
receiving end of beatings almost as
often as he has dished them out.
Woodcock is a hustling fighter, but
that is about all that can be said
0f him.
The IT'S pound division is worse
than the big boys section. Freddie
Mills is champion, but does not seem
ready to defend his title. joey Maxim
is the so-called American king-pin
but he is a powderpuff puncher.
Lesnevich. although scheduled to
fight Charles August II, is also
signed to meet Maxim in Cincinnati
September 10 for the American
crown. The question is - is oil Gus
seeking a title or merely the money
in the two title bouts? Judging by
his latest performances, he is about
through as a champion.
Jake L.aMotta has cleared up the
middleweight muddle. but there is
some doubt as to how long he can
hold on. The Ray Robinson-Kid Cav
ilan bout cleared up questions about
the welterweight division.
Ike williams, lightweight king
who was fighter Of the year for 194S
has not lived up to his honor so far
this year. His July rs bout with En-
riQue Bolanos will tell whether he

CHARLES TO MEET
LESNEVICH - AT LAST

Announcement that Ezzard
Charles will defend his title against
Gus Lesnevich comes as a great
surprise to many. This is true espec-
lally when one considers that old
Gus has lost his last two fights -
both to men who do not rate as
real heavyweight champions.
This proposed fight is even more
remarkable from numerous other
angles.
First, Charles is giving Lesnevich
AM opportunity Gus never gave him
when he had his IT'S pound title.
Ever since World War II, Charles
has sought chance to fight him in
vain although he was rated No.
challenger.
Charles is taking only rs percent
of the receipts, and Lesnevich is al.
so receiving rs percent of the gate.
1t Is unusual for a champion to de.
fend his title and not receive the
lions share of the purpse.
Speaking Of titles, Of course, this
will be the first time champion is
risking his crown in a place he is
not recognized as king-pin. Although
Yankee stadium will be the scene Of
battle the New York State Athletic
commission does not recognize the
MIA champion.

not recognize either man as cham.

That will not be determined by one

In fact the promoters of the bout,
the international Boxing Club, is
not going to advertise the affair as
the worlds heavyweight champion
ship fight, but will merely bill it as
one for heavyweight championship.

Travel Unusualities
From North Carolina
He Dried Them Up

The Eastern Band of Cherokees in
the Smokes of North Carolina were
really tee-totalers for while. Their
chief, Yonaguska, once went into a
24-hour trance and was believed
dead. In the midst of preparations
for his burial he revived and said he
had been to the Spirit World and
talked to tribe members who had
gone before. So great was his pres
tige that until he finally died, Cher
okees listened reverently to his ad-
vice.
AS one result his celestial journ-
ey, he wrote out and signed a tenn
perance pledge, which was immed-
lately signed by members of his
council. For many years, no Chero-
kee would touch a drop of liquor.

DEVILS TRAMPINC GROUND

If you're interested in superna-
tural yarns, and happen to be on
US sol in Chatham county, N. c.,
ask about the Devils Tramping
Ground. This is a hard-packed circu-
lar path about 35 feet in diameter,
with Sandhill wire grass growing
within the circle. Not sprig of the
grass grows outside the circle. Local
superstition says the path was made
by Satan and his followers during
midnight dancing orgy.
Skeptics say some popularity of
the soil has preserved the ring.
Plausible also, is the theory that the
path originally was beaten by In
dians in ceremonial dances. And
ever since, they point out, visitors to
the place invariably make few
turns around the path and thus keep
it hard packed.
incidentally, a somewhat similar
is "Devil's Hoof-
prints" near ancient Bath on the
coast of North Carolina. Here eight
in the soil have persist
ed for over century, despite all ef-
forts to keep them covered. They
were made by the last two
desperate leaps of horse in throw
ing his blasphemous rider.

British Leader Will Be

Dinner Tomorrow

Winston Churchill, who will be
President Truman's guest at 4

due to arrive ifr New York this
afternoon aboard the liner Queen

Great Britain's war time Prime
Minister is visiting the United
States primarily to make an ad-
dress March 81 at the Massachu-
sets Institute Of Technology on
the promise and realization of the
Goth century.
He expects to leave New York
tomorrow for Washington and re-
turn to New York after dinner
with the President.
The White House announced
yesterday that President and Mrs
Truman will give a small "black
tie" dinner for Mr.. and Mrs
Churchill at the Blair House to-
morrow evening.
Mr.. Truman also had been
scheduled to make a speech al
NIT on the day following Mr.
Churchill's address there, but this
was Cancelled Monday.
White House Press Secretary
Charles G. Ross said the March
81 arrival here of British Foreign
Minister Bevin has nothing to dc
with cancellation of the Presi-
dents NIT speech. Published re-
ports had limited that the speech
was Cancelled for fear a meeting
there between the President and
Mr.. Churchill might embarrass
Mr.. Bevin.
In denying these reports. Mr.
Ross said reasons for the cancel
lation had been fully stated-the
pressure of official duties.
Mr.. Churchill plans to remain
in this country until April 2. He
will be a guest of Bernard NJ

he met in visits here during
World War II.
Accompany Mr.. Churchill are
