Jersey Joe Old Man Rivers knock
out over Ezzard Charles for the
heavyweight championship at
Pittsburgh.
ROBINSON SEEMED to be in
vincible so interest had been wiped
out of middleweight competition
when, To-, and behold with a spas
modic jerk of surprise, Turpin
outpointed Robinson in a Is
round. If that wasn't enough, Wal
colt belted Charles bow-legged and
supine in seven rounds to shatter
two myths: that Charles was a
good fighter in spite of what your
eyes told you that Walcott never
could fight in the first place.
Let's be honest. He never could
fight much, but he still could
fight and did fight enough to de-
throne the champion so convinc-
ingly that you wonder how he,
Walcott, ever lost four previous
challenges. You also wonder how
Charles ever won the title in the
first place by beating Walcott and
then kept it by beating him again.

three separate occasions.
The first time he fought Louis,
in their title bout of December,
1947, he knocked the Brown Bonn
Der down twice. The next time,
the following June, he floored
him once. But Jersey Joe re-
members best the time Louis was
training for his first bout with
Schmeling. Jersey Joe, then pick
ing up whatever small change he
could find to feed and clothe his
family, won a job as sparring
partner for Louis at Lakewood,
N. j., the job lasted only one day.

right hand punch the first round
went against him." Walcott re-
calls. "They paid me $25 and
hustled me out of there for
good.
The paths of Walcott and Louis
we're to cross again. Jersey Joe,
having won two out of three from
Jack Kearns' Tiger Joey Maxim,
earned the 1947 title go against
the Bomber. His controversial
split-decision loss to Louis that
night led to their rematch the
following June, in which Louis
triumphed on an 11th-round
knockout.
BUT THE FOLLOWING Winter
Ezzard Charles also beat Maxim,
and when Louis announced the
next day that he was retiring
from the ring, Charles and Wal
colt were paired in a natural run
off for the vacated crown. Louis
himself Joined the then newly
formed international Boxing Club
as director of boxing and promot-
ed the Charles Walcott fight.
Even as a promoter, Louis
could not cast aside the candor for
which he was famous. A few days
before the first Charles-Walcott
fight, which was held in Chicago
in June, 1949, a group of report
ers. asked Louis how the advance
sale was going. "Terrible," the
Brown Bomber replied, pleasant
ly.
Walcott and Charles had train
ed at Momence, Illinois, amid such
fanfare, during which their man
ayers manned the Kankakee River
which flowed by both training
camps, on the suspicion that spies
from the rival camp were coming
by boat.
BUT THE FIGHT itself was
dull spectacle, won by Charles or
a unanimous decision after Wal
colt had spent much of the bout
counter-marching around the ring
There seemed no hope for Jersey
Joe after that, but Charles, having

Britain Seeks u. S. Aid as Mid East Tensions Rise

some leaders here openly expressed
the view that the murder might
prove more serious to the world
than the Korean war.
A weeks reflection has left their
opinions unchanged. Abdullah was
the only Moslem chief of state in
the area who had the arms. the
men, the cunning and the will to
balance dynastic rivalry and ram
pant nationalism with wisdom and
power.
Deep down, the British doubt
whether any successor to the mur-
dered King, even with the help
of the British-led Arab legion, can
beat down any open bid by the
former Mufti of Jerusalem, Hal
Amin ell Husseini, to win control
of Jordan with the aid of PaleS-
tinian Arab followers. There are
about 100000 Palestinian Arabs
in refugee camps in Jordan.
against an original population of
about 100000.
In the past. Britain and the
United States have been at odds
over problems of the area. Britain
hopes a new arrangement can be
made that will be more than a
paper accord. and that the United
States will use its influence with
such countries as Egypt and Saudi
Arabia.

maintained by some working al
rangement between Britain and
Premier Mohammed Mossadegh S
nationalistic government.
Since the war, Britain's influ-
ence in the area has been weak
ening. She has lost her Palestine
mandate, is in process of losing
at least a considerable hold over
Iranian oil, her biggest foreign
| investment, and is being pressed
steadily by the Egyptians to quit
the Suez Canal zone and the
Sudan.
Abdullah's assassination was
only one in a long series in the
Middle East since the seven
nation Arab League was launched
in 1914 with British encourage
ment. Extremists have murdered
king, Syrian president, four
premierS. a United Nations medi-
ator, and several other politically
prominent persons. and have at
tempted many other shootings.
Disorders Favor Russia.
If this sort of pistol-shot poll
tics continues, the British fear 1t
will destroy all cooperation with
the West, replace order with gun
rule and create conditions which
could be favorable only to Russia
and the Communists.
