IBC 70 Study D. {. Bid
For Heavy Title Bout.
Norris Tells Miller

Jim Norris. president Of the
International Boxing Club, has
assured Heinie Miller. chairman
of the District Boxing Commits
sion, that Washington will be CIV
en- every consideration as the site
for the Jersey Joe Walcott-Rocky
Marciano heavyweight title bout
next month.
Norris sent Miller a wire last
night in reply to the chairman'S
request that Washington be given
the fight. Miller put in the bid
Thursday. .,r
"And there's no reason why we
shouldn't get it," Miller said to-
day. AT Griffith Stadium we
could seat as many for a fight as
at Yankee Stadium. And we have
the finest officials in the world
here. Not only that. but it would
give Congress. which has been in
vestigating boxing. a chance to
see a clean. decent fight, run by
clean. decent people. There are
no politics in boxing here"
Whether Washington gets the
bout remains to be , seen. New
Jersey and Pennsylvania also have
the welcome mat out. In WASH
|ington's favor is Miller's position
as secretary of the National Box
ing Association. which rated WAL
colt the No. l contender when
very few others considered him at
all.
why at that time nobody else
thought he could fight" Miller
says. when we rated him No. /
challenger, he was so grateful he
fell all over himself. And don't
overlook the fact that in a heavy
weight title bout the guy with the
title has a lot to say about where
he'll fight to keep it"

Redskins Staff HuddIe Called
On Timing of First Squad Cut
By Lewis +. Atchison
R.eHf

Los ANGELES, Aug. 9.-Head
Coach Dick Todd called q meeting
of the Redskins staff today to de-
eide when to make the first cut
in the squad. Todd favors dropping
the unsuccessful candidates i'm
mediately. but his aides are argu-
ing against this.
Several players. obviously below
pro caliber, may be carried merely
for relief work in the opening
game, although Todd frowns on
this idea. His theory is that the
men who are going to stick need
all the work they can get. How
ever, a few doubtful cases won't
be settled until the Redskins meet
outside opposition.
With most OF the men near
their physical peak, Todd plans to
discontinue double workouts after
Monday. Night meetings also
have been shortened and will be
eliminated. except when situations
requiring discussion and explana-
tionS arise.
Al Demao, veteran center, was
due here today. Center Tony
Momsen from Pittsburgh and
Tackle Paul Mitchell from Dallas
checked in officially yesterday.
Mitchell had been idle two days
pending completion of contract
negotiations. The arrival of the
three isn't expected to change
rodds plans for the San Francisco
game. inasmuch as only Demao
will be sufficiently familiar with
the Redskins system Of play.
Offensive center in that game
may be Jim Brasher, former
Maryland linebacker. The lean,
190-pound Texan is listed as al
center, but he was used chiefly
on defense at Maryland. He
shapes up as the best of the lot
here despite his comparative lack
Of heft.
The complete lineup for the
game will be settled next week
when the Redskins begin rehears-
ing kickoffs and punts. They're
still looking for a kickoff man with
power and an accurate field goal
booter.

Alex keI|ner Pitches
For Athletics Tonight
Against PorferfieId
By Burton Howkins

Bob Porterfield will pitch for
the Mats tonight and if they pro-
vide him with a run he'll be
inclined to protect it like pound
of platinum. Shut out six times
this season. Porterfield will be
opposed by the left-handed Alex
Kellner in the opener Of what is
now a four-game series with the
ambitious Athletics.
Porterfield has been involved in
four 10 games this year and
emerged the winner only once, but
in bidding for his ninth victory
he'll get a break. He won't be
required to take the mound
against Bobby Shantz. the mighty
mite who has whipped the Mats
three times and Porterfleld twice.
Shantz won't see action until
tomorrow afternoon, when he'll
team with Harry Byrd against the
Mats in a double-h and 1t
comes as no joyful news to the
Mats that they'll be seeing him
again Friday night in Phila-
delphia.
Will Skip Red Sox.
I'm going to give Bobby four
days rest before his next start"
Manager Jimmy Dykes said. II
won't pitch him at Boston,"
Thus Shantz, who will be striv-
ing for his 21st win tomorrow. is
calculated to sell out Shibe Park
for the second straight time.
When he whipped the Red Sox
recently, they turned away Gus
toners in Philadelphia.
OF course. Bobby could pack
them in Boston, too, but the short
left-f1eld fence there is an addi-
tional hazard for any lefthander
and, in addition, if he pitches at
home the AS get much larger
share of the gate.
Rolling now after their CUSTOM
ary slow start. the Athletics
have moved within a game-and-
a-half of the fourth-place Mats
The AS have won 10 of their last
80 games and are threatening to
duplicate their strong finish of
1851. The Philadelphians also
closed with a rush last year, cap
turing Is of their last 36 games.
Dykes, like almost every one
else, regards the Yankees as the
club to beat, but he fears the Red
Sox, too.
"Those Red Sox will be tough"
Jimmy said. Seems like they
have dozens of 6-foot right
handed hitters to send against US
and when we're playing in Bos-
ton, where the leftfield fence is
short, all those fellows look like
9-footers."
Needs Pitching Help.
Despite Shantz and his 20-3
record, Dykes is skeptical about
his pitching. ''Kellner's been go
ing all right" the AS mangaer-
said. "but Harry Byrd has been,
cratic. Byrd is going to be fine
pitcher and he's done wonderfully
as a rookie. but the other fellows
haven't been coming through for
us. Well need help from our
pitchers If we are going to keep
moving up"
The AS have the leagues lead
ing hitter in Ferris Fain, batting
.344. Fain has made a tremendous
comeback in bid to repeat as
the American League batting
champion. He was hitless in his
first 81 attempts this season, and
latter three weeks was batting .125,
but he now has q 15-point bulge
over his closest rival, Gene Wood
ling Of the Yankees. Fain also is
leading the league in doubles
with 80.
Wet grounds and threatening
weather forced postponement of
last nights scheduled game be-
tween the Mats and AS. The game
will be made up as part Of a twi-
might doubleheader September 2.

Decision 10 Layne
by the Associoisd Press

OGDEN. Utah, Aug. 9-Husky,
young Rex Layne bulled his way
over. Ezzard Charles, ex-heavy-
weight champion. last night in
a 10-round decision which threw
the Charles camp into an uproar
Jack Dempsey. former heavy
weight champion who was the
referee and sole judge. held up
Layne's hand in the victory sign
as thundershowers deluged Ogden
Stadium.
Immediately afterward. Charles
co-manager, Jake Mintz, rushed
into the ring, berated Dempsey and
shouted. This is the lousiest de-
cision I've ever SEEN"
Later. Dempsey told a reporter
that II called them just like I saw
them. I'm sorry that Mintz or
anyone else didn't like the deci-
sion. I'm sorry"
Dempsey said Layne was the
aggressor all the way, adding:
That boy is an entirely different
looking fighter. He has really i'm
proved"
Layne weighed 1876 and Charles
100 for the outdoor fight which
Promoter Ken Mayne said drew
more than $4,000 fans. Mayne
said he would not have an ac-
curate count until later. but esti-
mated the gate would top $780,
900. Each fighter will receive IS
per cent.
Layne Shows Good Left.
Layne, always strong with his
right. showed a potent left hand
as he doggedly kept after the
elusive, left-jabbing Charles.
The fight tempo hit it's hottest
pace in the eighth round, when
both fighters landed telling blows.
The 31-year-old Cincinnati Ne
gro flicked a left which cut Layne's
lip in the ninth. Charles kept
boring in at fast pace, behind
his sizzling left. and the battle
ended in a last-round furry.
But the verbal fight had Just
begun.
Mintz claimed the only way
Charles could have won would
have been by knocking out Layne
Co-Manager Tom Tannas said he
was very disappointed"
Some Of the ringsiders also dis
agreed with Dempsey's card of
seven even rounds, two for Layne
and one for Charles.
'Uncr0wned Champion
In his dressing room. Layne, the
24-year-old Utah stronghoy, who
lost by a technical knockout in his
first fight with Charles, said the
sx-champion "hurt me several
times" But Layne thought he
scored a solid victory. So did his

Jersey Joe Walcott."
JenSon said he will now try to
line up a Layne- e-Walcott bout in
After the fight,- Charles declared.
"Layne didn't even know the fight
was over" Then he added softly.
There will be another time"
Ray Arcel, Charles trainer, also
Joined the fight post-mortem.
Instead of adding dignity to the
fight game, Dempsey has added
disgrace" he said.
But the brunt of the attack on
Dempsey was made by Mintz. In
obvious anger, the balding little
manager rushed to the ringside
press row after Dempsey had
turned his back and left the sta
dium.
TITS the worst decision I ever
saw" he shouted. Charles was
ahead by at least three rounds. It
was a political steal. Layne was
holding on and grabbing for dear
life. Dempsey is a thief. Charles
Is still the greatest fighter in the
world"

CIVIL RIGHTS is definitely
one of the chief reasons why Mr..
Truman is being forced out of
the race. The graft and cor
ruption are large factors, but
not insurmountable. No one had
more graft and corruption and
questioned loyalty generals as
we'll as cabinet mem than Abe
Lincoln. And there are other
examples. Much is due to the
times. But Mr.. Truman's de-
cision could be a "party COM
promise" 1t is what the south
demands.

RALPH McGILL, the gifted
editor of the Atlanta Constitu-
ton, admitted last week that a
big issue was Civil Rights. He
said the south would battle
Truman to the end. He said
the Dixiecrats even preferred
Taft because Taft was luke warm
about civil rights legislation.
McGill said the south would
have "a lot to say" about the
1852 party nominee. Dixie went
out to stop Truman in 1s4s.
Credit the south with an assist
this year.

COLORED AMERICANS hate
graft and corruption as much
as anyone else. But let us not
be fooled by the issues. When
Truman steps down we will be
losing a champion for civil
rights. No matter what else is
said, the fact remains Truman
had courage to at least attempt
measures that other and more
tavorably situated presidents re-
fused to even touch. And for
this, he was great. 1t may be

One self-denying act, one word
That eased the heart of Him that heard,
One glance most kind
That fell like sunshine where it went
Then we may count the day well spent.
But if through all the livelong day
We've done no thing that we can trace,
If through it all
We've done nothing that we can trace,

That helped some soul and nothing cost
Then count that day as worse than lost.
