CHARLES
i
Gets Decision at End of 15
Cruel Rounds Over
Joe Louis
By JACK HAND
NEW YORK. Sept. 28—'®- Joe
Louis knows today that they never,
come back.
Ezzard Charles, a vastly under
rated heavyweight champion, bi.ri d
the ghost of Louis last night at
Yankee Stadium in 15 cruel round .
It was the same sad story that Jack
Dempsey and Jim Jeffries learn d
years ago. You can’t beat Father
Time.
Puffed to 218 and shaky in hi ,
timing, Louis absorbed a bloody
beating in his unfortunate bid, to
become the first heavyweight cham
pion ever to recapture his battle. He
missed by plenty.
The 29-year-old* Charles did
everything but knock out the be
wildered Joe Louis of 1250. Jo
groped blindly tow ayd the top rope
in the 11th to save himself. He
probably wouldn’t have lasted hinny
more rounds.
Didn’t Have L
“I just didn’t have it.” he said in
his dressing room, swabbing hi:
swollen-shut left eye with an ic
pack.
"I just didn’t have it in any de- j
partment.”
He didn't have to say so. It wa !
obvious. Only in the 10th round
yhen he hurt Charles with a flash,
ci the Louis of old did he excite .
(he crowd of 22.357 that paid a gross
$205,570. Some 25,000,000 mere j
watched on television.
diaries iiriuiant
Charles fought a brilliant fight to
earn the unanimous vote of r.l! three
officials. Referee Mark Con gr ve
him a 1C-5 edge. Judge Joe Agne'r •
12-3 and Joe Frank Forbes 13-2. The
AP card had it 12-2 with one even.
It is too bad that Louis' fail! re
will take much of the overdue credit
away from Charles. The lean 13 1
pound Cincinnati nesro, previou
recognized as National Boxing As:o
ciation champ, now is also certified
in New York State.
The British recognize Lee Savold
of Paterson, N.J., a; their champ.
He may be next on the list for
Charles.
Respect for Charles
Louis was the popular favorite as
well as the 5 to 81- betting choice
last night. But at the end, every
body had new respect for Charles.
This was no awed youngster in
there with Louis. Sure he was
fighting his old idol and friend.
But he came out punching.
Hooking to the body, throwing a
right hand to the head, Ezzy com
pletely outboxed Loui . Joe plodded
straight ahead in his usual style but
when he caught Charles he couldn’t
put over the old equalizer.
How Charles Won
Throwing hard body punches and
moving in close before Louis could
counter was the Charles victory pat
tern. It was fool-proof. When he
chose to hit and run, his going
away punches were more effective
than Louis’ whistling right hands
into the air. The way he moved on
top of Louis you would never suspect
he was the man giving away 33'j
pounds.
Ezzard was in trouble twice, in the
fourth and 10th. A left-right to the
head buckled his knees in the fourth
but he came back strong at the bell.
Loui; had his one big chance in the
19th when he shook up Charles
with a short right to the head and
chased him the rest of the round
He never could set him up.
Charles got the short end cf the
purse, about $57,405, counting hi:
slice of the $140,030 radio and TV
cash.
Louis, who said he made his come
back to get money to pay up income
tax debts, will receive about $100,158
for his share of the fight and rad:
money.

lakes Defeat Without Ali
bi or Whimper-Says
He's Had Enough
:> Fred Hayden
NEW YORK, Sept. 28—(/Pi—After
' 1.1 . hard road Joe Louis trac
k'd to attempt a comeback, he
t like a champion—a champion
portsman at least.
As quiet and monosyllabic as ever,
the big Brown Bomber who never
exploded <n Yankee Stadium last
night took his decisive defeat by
v.-r.-y e*..-younger Ezzard Charles
ithout an alibi or a whimper. He
cached the end of the road the
■ cay he had come up—with class.;
But new, Joe says, he’s had enough. |
Charles Quiet
Charles the conqueror was as
uiet in his dressing room, al
. hough obviously enjoying his great- I
- st moment in victory. I-Ie did not
'.cast about winning a unanimous
erdiet over the man who used
o be his idol, but had only praise
for his victim.
Not so dulcet was the comment i
■com Jake Mintz, his Pittsburgh j
pilot who neyer was noted for re
:cence. Vcluable Jake gushed:
■ We'll fight anybody, but we’ll
lave to have the champion's end.1
Ye came up the hard way, and al
ways have taken the short end. J
tow we’re champ, and anybody |
i ,vho fights us must take the chal
enger's end. That goes for Lee
c’evold, too. We don’t recognize;
.o European world champion.”
Sad Sight
j To Louis' many admirers, the
! Brown Bomber presi nted a sad
; ight in his dressing room. Even
■ lie most ringwise, apathetic visit
rs had to feel sorry for the gallant
..Id warrior sitting on a table witji
its left eye closed and his left
hand cn a bucket of ice.
i “I'm through,” said Joe. “I won’t
; .ight again. I done the best I can.”
Louis said he knew from the
. eve-nth round on that he “didn’t
! have it." He even congratulated
■ Charles before the verdict was an
nounced, as they threw their arms
..round each other after the final
- bell.
Enjoyed right
The once mighty champion told
' .lews,men he "enjoyed the fight”
• and thanked them all very much.
| Asked if Charles was the best man
, ne ever fought, Louis just said
! “naw.” He had the same simple
I answer when asked if he felt bad.
i To the question “is Charles a
! great champion?” Ke only said,
| "He's good in all departments.”
Joe raid he hurt his left hand in
I the third or fourth round, but
i you knew that wasn’t said or meant
as an excuse for losing. Some of the
| hoys thought the 36-year-old Louis
I had Charles in a bad way in the
10th round, but Louis wouldn't even
take credit ior that. "Many say I
(\v. n the 10th,” Joe said, "but he
wasn't nearly out.”
Asked if this fight would take
are of Joe's income tax troubles
the Bomber just replied, “yeah.”
Finally the crowd dispersed from
he steaming room, patting ol’ Joe
on the back meantime. Unemotion
al, at least on the surface, Joe
repeated to each, “thank you very
much.”
Charles, too had to peep through
one eye in his dressing room.
The left cne was closed by Joe’s
jabs. Ezzard’s remarks went like
this:
“Sure I was in trouble—-all the
time. . . .the 10th round was pretty
tough. . . .he hit me a good left
hook and a hard right to the back,
. . .his left jab is his best punch,
though. . . .it’s real stiff, never
hurt, me. . . .it was that jab I had
to watch out for. . . .lie don't punch
hard in close."
| Ez said it felt great to be a
j champion, adding “I know' that.
1 before, I was National Boxing As
i ucinhon champion, but I also know
i the people didn’t consider me
| champion. Not as long as Louis
was around.”
