Walcott Qives
Louis Something
To Think About j
SPORTS ROUNDUP
By Hugh Fullerton. Jr.
NEW YORK, — (/P) —In Jer
sey Joe Walcott’s training camp
at Grenloch Park, NJ. they’re
telling a story about the unex
pected appearance of George
Nicholson, Joe Louis’s chief-of
sparring-staff one afternoon—such
invasions are considered “uneth
ical” by all guys in the fight
racket who can pronounce the
word and George preserved his
incognito by coming equipped with
a 1947 season pass to the amuse
ment park made out in another j
guy’s name.
Walcott gave Nicholson a big j
welcome and a seat by the ring
side, then proceeded to knock■
sparmate Austin Johnson almost
into George’s lap with a right to !
the chops—then Jersey Joe stalked
over to trainer Danny Florio and
said: “Go tell Nichols on to take:
that back to Louis.”
Weak End Notes
Gaudiest, and best, promotional
job seen lately is Otis Dypwick’s
press book for the National Col- j
legiate Track Meet—it has every
thing but the morning l>ne—and
you can always get that ir: Min
neapolis. A book to be published
next month, which should have
a good sale is “gameship: The
Art of Winning Games Without
Actually Cheating.”— While the
East’s best college baseball teams
were engaging in the N.C.A.A.
playoff at Winston-Salem, N.C.,
the loud speakers blared the tune:
“I’ve Got A Gal In Kalamazoo.”
—That’s where the National Fin
als will be played—and the gal
probably remembers those nice
boys from California.
