ST. LOUIS, Mar. 1.-The st.
Louis Cardinals and Browns who
have shared Sportsman's Park
peacefully for % years may have
reached a parting.
The American League Browns,
who own the time-worn baseoal
property, served notice on the
National League Cardinals yester-
day to vacate April /.
AS a result the Cards, who
opened spring training in st. Pc
tersburg, Fla, today, may t1nd
themselves without park In
which to play their home games.
The order to vacate came in the
form of legal notice published by
the Dodier Realty & Investment
Co., which is controlled by the
Browns.
The lease was signed in 1887
and had two more years to run.
The notice made no mention OF
demand for increased rental, but
it is known that for some time
the Browns have been trying to
negotiate a new agreement where
by the Cards would pay more a
wear than the $4,000 they now
are paying.
Another bone of contention be-
tween the two clubs is the Car
dinals' policy of broadcasting their
road games. The Browns claim
these broadcasts curtail attend
ance at Browns home games.

The Touchdown Club voted
against, sponsoring the $4,000
National Capital Open golf
tournament at Prince Georges
July l through 4 at its regular
meeting at the club last night.
The host club had asked the
Touchdowners to take over the
promotion and operation of the
tournament and guarantee at
least half the $4,000 needed
for prize money, the clinic and
operating expenses.
Carroll Bird, president OF the
Touchdown Club, said the COM
mittee report indicated the club
would not lose any money on
the event. but the principal rea-
son for turning 1T down was
that the club did not have suf-
ficient manpoWer, particularly
over holiday, to properly stage
the tournament.
AL Houghton, Prince Georges
pro, said today he had one or
two additional sources to con-
tact before the club would give

Charles Adds Nothinq
To Prestige in His
Win Over Maxim
BY the Associated Press

CINCINNATI, March 1.-Ezzard
Charles outpointed joey Maxim
in a 15-round split decision boxing
bout here last night, but it is
doubtful if he added anything to
his prestige as an outstanding
challenger for the world heavy
weight title.
| The slender, hard punching
Cincinnati Negro had to come
from behind to cop the nod of the
three judges. Many of the 14062
fans who paid a gross S72,818 to
see the match, yelled their disap-
proval to the highest part OF the
new Cincinnati Garden.
Judges George Behle and Joe
Blink saw Charles as the winner
by 1863 and 70-65 points respec-
lively. Judge Charles Conver had
it even at TOTO. The Associated
Press score card had eight rounds
for Charles, nve tor Maxim and
two even.
Charles, weighing 1879 pounos
the heaviest he ever has scaled
showed two giaring weaknesses.
He was a sucker for left hook
and he could not get away from
Maxim's left jao.
Ebony Ez7 gambled on a win
against the housekeeping C'eve-
lander, who weighed 1874. He had
little to gain. because after his
knockout victory over Joe Baksi
in Madison Square G.lden several
months ago Louis. himself. had
rated him as Just about the fore
most contender.
All he did gainfully, it seemed
in the press box, was TO aed tc
his bank account.
Some of the sports writer's gave
their Unofficial decision 20 Maxim
who was always busy, iabbing
hooking and falling in while
Charles carried the bout to him.
Maxim was not so hot in the
opening 1ouros. Charles. bent or
an early knockout, pursued him
around the ring and smacked the
Clevelander around.
But, beginning with the fifth
round. joey began turning on the
steam and in the fifth he COM
pletely outboxed Charles, making
him miss repeatedly. Meanwhile,
the rapier-like left opened an old
cut over Charles left eye, bloodied
his nose, and set him back on his
heels.
Maxim carried his attack
through the sixth, seventh and
eighth, then slowed down.
However, Charles, great guy to
keep trying. then began to catch
up and in the last three rounds
moved ahead.
