Louis for the u~ndisputed champ
ionship. MINIS also knows it will
mean the loss of the "Prize
Purse" that goes to the winner Of
the World Title. Like all other
athletes, to be of championship
caliber, he must keep banging a
way. So with the long lay-off,
Charles to lose the biggest chance
he ever had in becoming the IN
disputed champion. Had he gone
through with the bout with Be-
shores when originally scheduled.
he would have had it behind him
and with no other man between
him and Louis, in the event he
won from the "Dutchman'' but
with him standing in the way, and
must comply with the contract or
forefit the title such as it is cur
rantly, he has become a question
mark as to his ability to dispose
of Beshores. The ten months lay
off is in favor of his opponent
right now. just as Dempsey found
it out that long lay-offs were
dangerous and Joe Louis also
found out that after the six
months of idleness found it's
mark in 1947, when he almost
lost to the aged and retired Jersey
Joe Walcott. And so Charles will
have to do a lot of work in Or
der to be ready for his chance of
a lifetime, to make the grade he
must jump the hurdle by Be-
shores in the August bout from
which every one will be able to
make their predictions on the fall
classic between the N. B. A.
champion and the retired champ,
the Brown Bomber.

From now on in to the Sept

eral sporting public will be hand
ing in their opinions as to the
coming championship match be-
tween N. B. A.. champion Ezzard
Charles and retired champion Joe
Louis to decide the worlds
championship.
Right now the topic is based
on how Charles will come out in
his bout with the Flying Dutch
man. Freddie Beshores in Buffa-
los Memorial Stadium on the
night of August Is in that city.
For Ezzard, it will be the first
time he has donned the gloves in
ten months.
For Charles, many of the fight
experts will be thinking of Jack
Dempsey who's three years lay
off cost him the crown to Gene
Funney in the second match be-
5ween the two. However, in
Charles it can be said he has been

Since winning it, he has fought
for the title twice in four months,
and fought five times and appear
cd in IL exhibition matches dur
ing the last year. According to the
experts he has developed into a
full fledged heavyweight and by
the time the fall bout with Louis,
he may pull a surprise despite his
i~nexperience as a veteran cham

Charles stable, is not worrying
too much about the fight with the
Brown Bomber, instead he is con-
centrating of the August Is bout
with Beshores who according to
those in the know say he is not
the softest touch in the game.
Charles also realizes to lose to
Beshores, means the loss of the
N. B. A. title and Beshores will
be the man to get the shot. at

Tow for Two
Fishing Boats
Dragged HeIplesslY by
Underwater Object Which

PORTLAND, Me-, Sept. 12-R-
Crewmen of two Portland fishing
draggers have returned from a
mysterious ocean tow ride which,
they said, scared them almost to
death off Brier Island, MS.
Shippers of the ITO foot Cherokee
and the 86-foot Evzone told a
strange story of how their vessels
were towed helplessly last Wednes-
day night by an underwater object
they could not see.
Was it submarine? Probably,
say shippers Arthur w. and Thomas
Jordan. They told newsman 1t
might have been a Russian sub but
added that their surmise was based
only on their understanding that
no American subs we're in the area
and that Canada has none.
Could it have been whale? No
the shippers say, because whales
cannot stay submerged for such
long periods.
The tow rides followed each
other. The Evzone was towed an
hour and a half, the Cherokee
about Is minutes. Both craft had
their sterns dragged beneath the
water by a terrific haul They were
freed when their cables snapped
from whatever was Juggling them.
