 ''Ezzard Charles deserves to get a return chance at the title and he's going to get it first said the unmarked, smiling Camden, N. J., veteran at news conference.
 Charles was shook up pretty much," said Walcott, who knocked out the Cincinnati Negro in 55 sec onds of the seventh round last night in another of the amazing upsets that has startled the ring world in the last month.
 Charles gets the return" said Manager Felix Bocchicchio.
 If we beat him then we'll take on Joe Louis. Joe deserves a chance, too, and we'd love to fight him. Wal colt will take care of them both and then we'll take 'em all down the line, Rocky Marciano and anybody else.

Clouting Clyde Vollmer, booed off his home town Cincinnati team, is the new Boston glamor boy, outdaz- zling such Red Star stalwarts as Ted Williams, Vern Stephens, Bob by Doerr and Dom DiMaggio.
 A much shuttled and shunted part time flychaser and pinch hit ter through seven discouraging big league seasons, the 29-year-Oid Ohioan has finally established him. self as one of the best clutch hitters in baseball.
 Vollmer, more than any other Red seeker, is responsible for Boston's spectacular climb to the top of the American League. ClimaXing a bril- liant two-week batting splurge, the strapping outfielder last night led the Red Sox to 4-3 victory over the Cleveland Indians.
 Fifth Homer
 Vollmer accounted for BoStons first run with his fifth homer in the last II games and his 1lth of the season. It came in the fifth inning and snapped scoreless duel be- tween Boston's Leo Kiely and Cleve- lands Bob Lemon. He scored what proved to be the winning run in the sixth when he walked and raced all the way home as Larry Dolby threw wild to third on Buddy Rosar's single.
 The victory gave the Red Sox a full game lead over Chicago's sec ond place White Sox.
 The Yankees moved to within q fraction of a percentage point of Chicago, whipping the White Sox, 5-1 behind the pitching of Vic Raschi and Bob Kuzava.
 Washington spoiled Sa tch ell Paige's 1851 debut with the Browns by cuffing him off for II hits in eight innings to trounce St. Louis, 7-1. Philadelphia Athletics amass- ed 20 hits to overcome Detroit, 16-9
 Reds Climb Up

 KOS Charles in Ninth

PITTSBURGH, July f9 = R - Jersey Joe Walcott, an amazing old man of the ring who wouldn't be licked, today held the worlds heavy weight championship in an astound- ing climax to an almost unbeliev- able saga of the ring.
 Today plans were in motion for a September return meeting either in Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Atlantic City, or New York. Pittsburgh, with city record turnout of 28,272 for it's first heavyweight title show at Forbes Field, looked the likely win ner of the fistic plum.
 At 37, Jersey Joe last night be- came the oldest man ever to win boxing,s most prized bauble when he flattened the superbly conditioned Charles in 55 seconds of the seventh round of their I5-round bout. A left hook to the jaw sent Charles to the canvas.
 It was the ancient Camden bat tiers fifth crack at the champion ship - two more chances than any other challenger ever got at the heavyweight crown and the devout father of six, said. T thank God for the chance and for helping me to win.
 Fighting Champion"
 I'm thankful to everyone" said Walcott who had twice seen the crown slip out of his eager fingers. I'm going to be fighting champion and Charles will get his chance.
 T got him with left hook to the jaw" said Joe with big grin on his face. Only moments before tears coursed down his cheeks as he real ized his glorious moment of triumph
 T just got hit" said the crest fallen Charles in the stiffness of a losers dressing room.
 Did I hear the count? heard five - I guess" said Charles, who had a lump under his right eye and cut on his lower lip that required two stitches.
 Planned It All
 q could have gone on and on, said Walcott. T kept banging him to the body early in the fight to bring his guard down. We had planned that all along
