Ancient Battler, With
'Perfect' Left Hook,
KO's Charles in Ninth
PITTSBURGH, July f9 — UPI —
Jersey Joe Walcott, an amazing old
man of the ring who wouldn't be
licked, today held the world’s heavy
weight championship in an astound
ing climax to an almost unbeliev
able saga of the ring.
Today plans were in motion for a
September return meeting either in
1 Pittsburgh. Philadelphia, Atlantic
City, or New York. Pittsburgh, with
a city record turnout of 28.272 for
ds first heavyweight title show at
Forbes Field, looked the likely win
ner of the fistic plum.
At 37, Jersey Joe last night be
came the oldest man ever to win
boxing',s most prized bauble when he
flattened the superbly conditioned
Charles in 55 seconds of the sei-entb
round of their 15-round bout. A left
hook to the jaw sent Charles to
! the canvas.
I It was the ancient Camden bat
! tier's fifth crack at the champion
ship — two more chances than any
; other challenger ever got at the
heavyweight crown - -and the devout
j father of six, said: "I thank God for
the chance and for helping me to
. win.
“Fighting Champion"
j “I'm thankful to everyone," said
| Walcott who had twice seen the
crown slip out of his eager fingers.
“I’m going to be a fighting champion
■ —and Charles will get his chance.
I “I got him with a left hook to the
1 jaw,” said Joe with a big grin on his
face. Only moments before tears
coursed down his cheeks as he real
ized his glorious moment of triumph.
“I just got hit,” said the crest
fallen Charles in the stillness of a
loser’s dressing room.
“Did I hear the count? I heard
! five — I guess," said Charles, who
j had a lump under his right eye and
j a cut on his lower lip that required
! two stitches.
Planned It All
"I could have gone on and on,’
said Walcott. “I kept banging him
to the body early in the fight to
bring his guard down. We had
planned that all along.”
Few besides Walcott and his man
■ ager, slim, dapper Felix Bocchicchio,
gave the slope-shouldered, shuffling
old-timer a chance in his third bout
with Charles, a very able but caut
ious champion who was defending
his (Town for the ninth time.
Charles, who had whipped Walcott
decisively twice before, was a nom
inal 5 to 1 favorite but there was
hardly any betting.
A perfect left hook dropped Ez
zard on his face.
Walcott was ahead at the time
of the knockdown. Referee Buck
McTiernan had him in front, 5-1:
the AP scorecard had Walcott in
the lead, 4-2.
Up until the end, it had been a
tame fight with each contestant
waiting for the other to lead.
Old Joe will collect a check of
about. $50,000. Charles will receive
about $100,000.
The fight grossed $245,004, at the
gate. Air rights brought in another
$100,000.
Charles weighed 182 to Walcott’s
194.
ACTS LIKE COLT
PITTSBURGH, July 19 —UPl—Ju
bilant, excited, 37-year-old Jersey
Joe Walcott, the oldest man ever to
win the heavyweight championship,
acted like' a colt today as he prom
ised to be “a fighting champion."
“Ezzard Charles deserves to get
a return chance at the title and
he’s going to get it first,” said the
unmarked, smiling Camden, N. J„
veteran at a news conference.
“Charles was shook up pretty
much,” said Walcott, who knocked
out the Cincinnati Negro in 55 sec
onds of the seventh round last night
in another of the amazing upsets
that has startled the ring world in
the last month.
“Charles gets the return,” said
Manager Felix feocchicchio.
“If we beat him then we’ll take
on Joe Louis. Joe deserves a chance
too, and we’d love to fight him, Wal
cott wdll take care of them both and
then we’ll take 'em all down the
line. Rocky Marciano and anybody
else.
“I'd like to have the September
fight in my home state — in Atlantic
City where the Convention Hall can
seat 40.000,” said Bocchicchio. “If
First Weighting in
Held at Soap Box
Lerby Trial Runs
Racers and cars were weighed at
last night's Soap Box Derby trial
runs on Twelfth street to give the
boys an opportunity to trim "avoir
dupois,” from their cars.
Cars will be taken from the racers
Friday evening after the final
weight check and stored until tHe
day of the race. Place of storage is
yet to be announced. The race will
be held July 22 at 2 p.m. Drawing
for heat positions will be at 12:30
p.m., on that day.
Trial runs will be held today and
Friday at 7 p.m. on Twelfth street
regardless of weather.
A parade of cars immediately pre
cedes the race held on Twelfth
street.
Radio "walkie talkies” will be
used to relay messages between the
start and finish lines. One will be
used at the judges’ stand so each
heat winner may be announced
over the public address system.
A plea is made by the Rotary Club
Soap Box Derby committee for
racers to get their cars in proper
running condition. Two showed up
at the trial runs last night with cars
overweight, they said. Combined
weight of car and boy must not be
over 250 pounds, according to the
official rule book. Another car was
brought to the race with wheels
that were too old and with too short
a wheelbase, the committee said.
not there. I’d like to have it in
Philadelphia’s Municipal Stadium
which can seat around 130,000 for
a fight,"
JOE OUTDID BRADDOCK
PITTSBURGH. July 19 — <&—Not
since Jim Braddock won the cham
pionship from Max Baer on June
13. 1935 has a betting underdog
like Jersey Joe Walcott won the
heavyweight crown.
Walcott was a 5-1 or longer un
der dog when he stepped into the
ring last night to lift the heavy- 1
weight crown from Ezzard Charles
w-ith a seventh round knockout.
Braddock was an even longer shot,
a 10-1 underdog.
Only one other heavy favorite in
the division since the turn of the
century has been defeated. He was
Jack Dempsey who entered the ring
the 5-11 choice over Gene Tunney
at Philadelphia on Sept, 23, 1926.

The Boy For
Boston's Fans
By Associated Press
Clouting Clyde Vollmer, booed off
his home town Cincinnati team, is
the new Boston glamor boy. outdaz
zling such Red Star stalwarts as
Ted Williams, Vern Stephens. Bob
by Doerr and Dom DiMaggio.
A much shuttled and shunted
part-time flychaser and pinch hit
ter through seven discouraging big
league seasons, the 29-vear-old
Ohioan has finally established him
self as one of the best clutch hitters
in baseball.
Vollmer, more than any other Red
socker, is responsible for Boston’s
spectacular climb to the top of the
American League. Climaxing a bril
liant two-week batting splurge, the
strapping outfielder last night led
the Red Sox to a 4-3 victory over
the Cleveland Indians.
Fifth Homer
Vollmer accounted for Boston's
first run with his fifth homer in
the last 11 games and his 11th of the
season. It came in the fifth inning
and snapped a scoreless duel be
tween Boston’s Leo Kie!y and Cleve
land's Bob Lemon. He scored what
proved to be the winning run in the
sixth when he walked and raced all
the way home as Larry Doby threw
wild to third on Buddy Rosar’s
single.
The victory gave the Red Sox a
full game lead over Chicago's sec
ond place White Sox.
The Yankees moved to within a
fraction of a percentage point of
Chicago, whipping the White Sox,
5-1 behind the pitching of Vic
Kaschi and Bob Kuzava.
Washington spoiled S a t c li e 11
Paige’s 1951 debut with the Browns
by cuffing him off for 11 hits in
eight innings to trounce St. Louis,
7-1. Philadelphia’s Athletics amass
ed 20 hits to overcome Detroit, 16-9.
Reds Climb Up
The St. Louis Cardinals climbed
past the New York Giants into sec
ond place in the National League
by trampling the Boston Braves,
9-6. The win together with Pitts

Brooklyn reduced the front-running
Dodgers’ lead over the Redbirds to
