By CHARLES DJrNkLEY
 CHICAGO, June 23-tR--Ezzard Charles, who wanted to be a ring champion ever since he started boxing at the age of IA, has realized his burning ameition.
 Last night, after l3 years of slugging his way to the top, this 1.-the 27-year-old Cincinnati Negro won the NBA version of the world heavyweight title vacated by Joe Louis by dccisively defeating Jer- sey Joe Walcott in a 15-round battle
 Charles won the unanimous de- cision of the three officials, ap- proval of the National Boxing Association, the consent of Louis and the blessing of the newly formed International Boxing Club, promoters of the bf.ut, which has ar exclusive three year contract with Charles.
 NOT RECOGNIZED YET
 But now Charles has to convince the New York Athletic commission which is on record as favoring a tournament among contenders, and Massachusetts, which does not be- long to the NBA. England, too, will have champion of it's own Sept. when the British Board of Boxing Control recognizes the win ner of the Lee Savold-B Bruce Wood- cock bout for the crown.
 The contest was fought in Com iskey Park, home of the Chicago White Sox, where l2 years ago to the night Louis won the champion ship by knocking out Jimmy Brad dock.
 The crowd of 25,392, which paid s246.546, was not disappointing to Asthur Wirtz. James D. Norris and LoMis, who formed the IBC.
 However. it was in sharp con- trast to the 45.500 fans who paid s7lS,470 to see the Brown Bomber get off the floez in the first round and zfiiatten Braddock in the eighth.
 DECISIVE VICTORY
 Charles victory over the 35-year- old Camden, NJ, family man was decisive. Walcott staked everything on a knockout blow in the first two rounds. But the faltering veteran, who one year ago was beaten into submission hy Louis. had lost much of his speed and ring cunning as the result of years absence from the ring.
 Charles fought a cautious battle.

Will Arp be put out of
business IL the antitrust
lawyers win their suit against
this company?
Absolutely! And here's
why:
A&P's retail stores will be
broken up into seven groups
and sold to new owners.
A&P's factories, which pro-
ducs many Of our fine foods,
win bs sold to still other new
owners.
None Of the stores and fac
tories can be connected In
any way. which will wipe out
the savings you now enjoy on
the foods AkP makes.
None Of the present own
ers Or management who have
made APP what it is today
can havs anything to do with
Either the stores or the tac-
tories.
So, while there may be 4

Grated by different owners
and under new management.

Robinson is no longer the nov

DOUBLE HEADER At NIcouET
PARK JUNE II FEATURES HARLEM
GLOBEHRoTTERS AND HOUSE or DAVID

Picking up In early spring where
shortly before the sensational
basketball team Of the same name
and management had left off, the
crack Harlem Globetrotters base
ball team is on the road again and
scheduled here against the original
House Of David from Benton Har-
Dor. Michigan In a daubleheader
at Nicollet Park on Sunday, June
~ at 1880 p. m
Abe saperstein's great Harlem
Globetrotters basketball team
ended It's season on April 10 with
q record Of 146 wins against only
8 defeats for the campaign, and a
22-year slate Of 3,1s4 triumphs as
against only 235 setbacks. His
baseball team can't hope to equal
that record, which stands alone in
all sportdom, but les wen on its
way to an enuable reputation.
This Is only the fourth season
Of play for the diamondeers, but
in that short span Of years they
already have attained the reputa-
ton Of being the finest Of all the
travelling novelty clubs. The Sepia
stars, like their namesalSe baske-
teers, stress showmanship and
power in copious quantities.
Travelling from coast 10 coast,
with excursions into Mexico and
Canada, the Globetrotter nine
entered this season with a three
year record Of 267 victories and
"a defeats for q percentage Of TAO.
Their first season saw them win
II and lose 40, In l947 they cap
tured n and dropped IS, and last
season, featuring a series against
the crack Honolulu HawRiians,
they reached the top with a stag
gering 119 wins against only 20
defeats. A record of 35 wins
against 10 defeats in games with
the House Of David In 1947 stamp
ed the Trotters as the best Of the
nomRd mines.
Paul Hardy, the great catcher
and leader, is again managing the
Globetrotters, whose personnel is
star studded with ranking sepia
players. The showmanship angle,
q saperstein trademark, is again
very much in evidence. The fun
making department Ia headed once
again by Ed Hamman, celebrated

came in 1905 when Walter Camp
selected him for his second An

the most cherished recognitions
any athlete can receive.
Among other honors, he was

Supplies Difference
As Dodgers Gain
BY Leonard Cohen
In the N. Y. Post


On June /, 1913, the Dodgers,
one Of the hot preseason favor
ties, were staggering around like
a bunch of New Years Eve cele-
brants. They were In seventh
place, five games out Of first, with
a poor record Of IS wins and 20
losses. Today. as they await the
opening Of their big series with
the Braves, the Brooks are third,
one game behind Boston with a
1915 mark. For that decided i'm
provement, Jackie Robinson rates
much Of the credit.
Jackie was charged with having
reported overweight and out Of
condition. His comparative lack
OF speed was reflected in his In
ability to reach his 1947 base
stealing form which enabled him
to lead the league with 20 pilfer-
ed sacks as a freshman. 1t was not
until the middle Of last June that
Robbie began TO play the brand
of ball expected from the 1947
Rookie of the Year.
But his improvement came too
late--and in many circles Jackie
bore the brunt Of the blame for
Brool1lyn's failure to win the pen
nant.
Jackie Kept Weight Down
and Average Went Up
Robbie took that criticism to
heart. His off-season activities
last winter included a minimum
of banquets and dinners. He
worked with the boys at Harlem,
Y. He had a nightly RADIO pro-
gram. He had a job two hours
every night in a Brooklyn clothing
store. He kept on the go from
morning till night &. and he
stayed slim.
He reported to camp this spring
without any troublesome excess
weight. Whereas in 194s he hadn't
stolen a single base at this stage
Of the campaign, he already has
six to his credit this year.
Though he fell into an early-sea-
son slump after the opening game,
getting but six hits in IS chances
up till May /, Jackie has snapped
out of It. Since that date he's
banged 81 hits in SO chances for a
glittering AS mark. His current
average is 1871. He, has hit 8
homers, half Of his production in
each Of the last two years 2 triples
and IL doubles.
The figures, given us by our
Arch Murray, who counts Dodger
averages instead Of sheep at night
indicate Robbies overall import
ance to the Dodgers. He and Duke
Snider gives Burt Shotton a one
two punch worthy of the name.
George Sisler rates a bow for
Robbie's new batting punch.
Jackie had quite a habit of lung
ing at the ball, but Sisler has
helped him overcome that fault.
RObbles Bat Could
Lift Brooks to Top
OF course, Robbies hasn't car
ried the club by himself. Reese,
snider, Hodges, Campanella and
Branca have been important cogs
in the machine. But Robbie, who
deserved some Of the criticism
hurled at him last year at this
time, by the same token deserves
a pat on the back for his recent
terrific pace. He really vowed
them on the last Western trip.
AS a matter Of fact, the statis-
tics show Robbie has hit .425 in IS
games against the Western clubs
and only .2S1 in 10 games against
the Eastern teams, Robbie, going
