Bomber Picked 10 Win
Despite Poor Record
In Comeback Bouts
BY the Asseeiaisd Pres,

NEW YORK. June 9J-Joe Louis
and Lee Savold, two of boxing's
elder statemen, clash at the Polo
Grounds Wednesday night in a
tight that should be short but
violent.
The bout is listed for Is rounds.
Very few of the experts be-
lieve 1t will go beyond 10. Louis
predicts he will knock out Savold
in six rounds. Savold is equally
confident of scoring a kayo, but he
refuses to name the round.
Although the 37-year-old Brown
Bomber hasn't shown much in his
five comeback fights since he lost
to Ezzard Charles, he has been
made a 12-to-5 favorite over his
35-year old rival.
There hasn't been much betting
so far and the fans haven't
stormed the ticket windows either.
The fight will not be telecast or
broadcast to home sets and the
International Boxing Club hopes
to do a rushing business in the
last few days.
Theaters to Get TelecaSt.
A telecast, however, of the scrap
will be sent over closed circuit
to selected theaters in Chicago,
Cleveland, Washington, Baltimore
and Albany. The IBC regards this
as an experiment and doesn't ex-
pect to reap much revenue. Some
day in the future, it may be the
big money-maker.

Savold Big Mystery Man.
AS for the fighters, Savold is the
big mystery man. Everyone knows,
or thinks he knows. what Louis
can do. or can't do. But Lee hasn't
boxed here in more than three
years. He hasn't gone beyond
eight rounds in nearly four years.
On December 6, 1948, the Engle-
wood IN. j. blond lost on a
fourth-round foul to Bruce Wood
cock in London. On June 6, 1850,
he knocked out Woodcock in four
rounds and won British and Span
ish recognition as worlds heavy
weight champion. That bout also
was held in London and that's the
sum total of Savold's actual fight
ing for the period.
Can he come back from such a
layoff without being rusty? Savold
is sure he can.
"Layoffs never have bothered
me-" he said. Actually, think
] have fought, better after long
layoffs. I've seen Louis fight at
least 10 times and I'm going to
knock him out"
Savold's Long Idleness Cited.
Louis, found out to his distress
that it's hard to shake off ring
rust, and he and most of the ex-
perts believe Savold is going to be
affected by his long idleness. They
point to joey Maxim as recent
example and what Charles did tc
him in Chicago.
In addition, the trim Jersey
battler has worked with medi-
ocre set of sparring partners. The
camp policy apparently is to have
Savold save his strength for the
fight. He weighs 1913 pounds, only
about a pound over what he ex-
poets to scale for Louis.

Pedestrian Protection Contest

East Cleveland has sent in it's
contest report for the National
Pedestrian Protection Contest spon-
sored by the American Automobile
Association, H. S. Weaver, Chief
of Police local contest man for the
contest, announced today.
Chief Weaver said this repre-
sented the fifth year in which East
Cleveland has participated in the
contest, conducted annually by the
AAA for cities and states in each
population class.
Last year, East Cleveland
pedestrian fatality record was one
compared to three for 1949, Chief
Weaver said. While much was done
in pedestrian protection in 1850
much more needs to be done in 1851
if East Cleveland is to improve on
its record, he urged.
The contest representative urged
that pedestrians remember the
hazards Of walking on streets and
roads during this time of year
especially at night. During winter
months, when there are more hours
East Cleveland leader. [volume] (East Cleveland, Ohio) 1942-1970, 1951-03-22

of darkness, more pedestrian fatali-
ties occur than at any other time,"
he said.
To combat this danger, Chief
Weaver urged that all pedestrians
make sure drivers can see them
while walking at night. "Wear
something white or carry some
thing white" he said. Motorists
have less visibility at night than
is generally supposed, and if you
are bundled up in dark winter
clothes, there is nothing to reflect
his headlights back to him."
He also pointed out that winter
driving conditions often make it
more difficult for the driver not
only to see the pedestrian but also
to make sudden stops.
eff everyone would take these
simple little precautions, we could
obtain a much better score in the
pedestrian safety contest. But bet
ter than that, we could save the
lives of more of our people and
prevent heartache for countless
more families" Chief Weaver said.
