BY GEORGE Huber

About $500 fight fans in WASH

At the Warner, which was try

were no complaints on that score.

technically, to the previous one,

Theater viewers had q good
look at everything that went on.
The left with which WalcottI
dropped Marciano in the first
round was easily seen, and so was
the right with which Marcianol
finally ended the bout in the 18th.
The only thing theater tele-
vision didn't show well, and this
holds true for home television asI
well. was the bloody condition of
both fighters. Announcer Bill
Corum kept mentioning the blood
from cuts around eyes and onl
Marciano'S forehead, but It'll
couldn't be seen on the televisionl
screen. About the only sign of
blood were dark smears on Wal
colts white ring trunks.
The only complaints heard at
the Warner were about the $3.60l
admission price. which is the most
ever charged here. To get the
show, each theater had to pay 81
per seat to the fight promoters,
and also had to forego two eve
ming performances of their regu-
lar show.
Altogether, so theaters in 81
cities showed the fight, with prac-
tically all Of them doing capacity
business. some at prices up to

duck. Joe seemed to be hurt so
badly that wave Of apprehension
swept through the crowd, but the
dethroned champion came around
quickly and left the ring under his
own power. No title-holder ever
went out more gallantly. not even
the great John L. Sullivan when he
apologized to his hackers for his
defeat by the upstart Corbett at
New Orleans back in 1892.
Staggered Joe in Tenth.
Marciano hadn't looked too
good before he got in the finishing
punches, because If he was an
other Dempsey he might well have
finished Walcott in the 10th round
when he had old Joe in serious
trouble. The Brockton Italians
ret1exes certainly are not COM

Mhuier even If his knockout punch
iSthe best since Joe Louis heyday.
But Rocky can take a punch,
all right, make no mistake about
that. For Walcott nailed him in
the very first round with a jolting
left hook after a furry of right
hand punches which indicated
Jersey Joe was trying to end the
fight in a hurry. Marciano went
down and took three-count-
the first time he ever had been on
the floor in a professional career
which has seen him win 43
straight fights, 38 by knockoutS.
Marciano came back strong aft
er that inauspicious start and
punished the old champion Sc
verely i'm the midsection during
the next few rounds. Nevertheless,
Jersey Joe was piling up points,
and on occasion he gave his back
ers cause to pull for a knockout.
Both Cut in Sixth.
In the sixth round the fight
really got bloody and it stayed
that way. First Walcott opened
a cash above the bridge Of Rocky's
nose and gore spread all over the
champions white trunks. Then
Marciano clipped Walcott under
the left eye to even the score.
Two rounds later Walcott cut
Rocky's left eye and then Mar
ciano shed some more blood when
the two fighters heads collided
and Rocky was the chief sufferer
with cut high on his scalp.
The two best rounds of the fight
and they were among the most
spirited since the seventh round
of the second Dempsey -Tunney
fight in Chicago-were the 10th
and 18th. It was the 10th that
convinced Rocky's most verbose
admirers that he was little short

Brockton boy had half a dozen
chances to finish the old timer.
