UP) For the first time since Joe Louis cornered the heavyweight boxing market 12 years ago and whipped all comers, a real even-Stephen contest for the title has shaped up in the Ezzard Charles-Jersey Joe Walcott scrap tomorrow night. Although the bout has open dubbed the "slim pickins' " heavy weight championship, it sincerelv presents two firedup contestants who are not afraid of each and appear evenly matched.

WP George Kell, Detroit third sacker, fattened his American League batting average six points to .352 during the week to zip 30 full points ahead of the field. Boston's Dom DiMaggio climb ed four points to .322 for second place. ' Last week's runner-up, Eddie Joost of Philadelphia, skid ded 12 to .313. Boston's Ted Wil liams moved from fifth to third with .314. of about 6-5, take your pick. A definite swing to Walcott has been reported with the present odds dropping from 7-5 to 1310 for Ezzy, indicating Jersey Joe's late support probably will send the two Negro heavies together at even money. Charles' comparative youth is being upheld by his backers as his most decisive edge. Those v ho favor Walcott like his weight advantage of 195 pounds to Ezzy's 180. . The big question seems to be whether the aging Walcott, who has diligently done 300 miles of road work and nearly 130 rounds of sparring in preparing for his third crack at the heavyweight bauble, has enough gas to last 15 rounds in case there is no earlier kayo.
