Despite Injury

(AP).-Even with a bum hand,
Lightweight Champion Joe
Brown doesn't have too many
worries about his title. And
you need look only as far as
his lopsided decision over joey
Parks to give it substance.
The 33-year-old champion
from New Orleans, nursing a
right hand he hurt in the first
round, used the 27-year-old
Parks for target practice
throughout their 10-round non-
title bout last night. Parks
was willing, but that's about
as far as his talent went.
Brown weighed 139, Parks
1862.
The cards of Referee Eddie
Brown and the two judges bore
out the mismatch. The referees
card had it seven rounds to
two for the champion with one
even, one judge had dt 9-1 and
the other official agreed with
the referee.
The 3,048 fans who paid
net gate of S6,241 expected a
better go of it. Last September,
Parks held Brown to a 10
round draw and had the cham
pion on the deck in the last
round.
The only mark of battle on
Brown was a badly bruised
middle knuckle on his right
hand. Brown said he hit
Parks on the elbow in the
opening session and the hand
hurt him the rest of the way.
Lou Viscusi, the champions
manager, said the hand might
undergo X-ray examination
today and it was almost sure
to postpone a tentative date in
