From His First Visit
star stan Photos BY Ranny Rouss.

Rocky Marciano. the heavy
weight champion, arrives in
Washington today as a prelude
to working as referee tomorrow
night in one Of the supporting
matches on the Willie Troy Ell
bridge Thompson fight card at
Turner's Arena.
This visit to the Capital Is
quite different from q previous
Marciano excursion here. An q
preliminary fighter with only
eight bouts behind him. he came
here September 80. t948. to ap-
pear on a Sonny Boy West card
promoted by Goldie Ahearn.
He knocked out his opponent,
one Gil Cardione, in the first
round. earning q one-sentence
notice at the bottom Of the fight
story in the newspapers the fol-
lowing day.
Today, Rocky will be treated
to all the Difference accorded a
champion In press and radio in
terviews and poses for photogra-
pliers at his Statier Hotel suite.
He didn't stay In the Statler on
that 1948 visit, either. In fact,
he went back to New York on the
night train.
As for tomorrow nights main
event, Troy, the sixth-ranking
middleweight, is slightly favored
over Thompson, an unranked
light-heavy. despite Thompson
weight edge.
Troy has won three straight
fights here by snockouts.
Thompson lost his last Washing
ton showing on a split decision
to Joe Cannon after q fine fight
and two weeks ago returned to
winning form with q knockout
over Bill Godfrey In Birming-
ham.
Preliminaries already booked
for tomorrow night include Kid
Crockett against Johnny Shields,
heavyweightS: Bulldog Drum
mond against Jimmy Thomp-
son, light-heavies. and Syl Tenn
pie against Baby Face Gray,
lightweights.
