Charles Beats Walcott In Title Bout; Umpqua Chiefs Blank Giustinas, 8-0 Battle Goes Limit; Verdict Is Unanimous Walcott, Thrice On Verge Of Knockout, Backpedals In The Closing Rounds By CHARLES DUNKLEY CHICAGO, June 23. UP) Ez zard Charles, who wanted to be a ring champion ever since he started boxing at the age of 14, has realized his burning ambi tion. Last night, after 13 years of slugging his way to the top, this lithe 27-yoar-old Cincinnati Negro won the NBA version of the world heavyweight title vacated by Joe Louis by decisively defeating Jer sey Joe Walcott in a 13-round battle. Charles won the unanimous de cision of the three officials, ap proval of the National Boxing Association, the consent of Louis and the blessing of the newly formed International Boxing Club, promoters of the bout, which has an exclusive three-year con tract with Charles. But now Charles has to con vince the New York Athletic Com mission, which is on record as favoring a tournament among contenders, and Massachusetts, which does not belong to the NBA. England, too, will have a champion of its own Sept. 6 when the British Board of Boxing Con trol recognizes the winner of the Lee Savold-Bruce Woodcock bout for the crown. The contest was fought In Co miskey Park, home of the Chi cago White Sox, where 12 years ago to the night Louis won the championship by knocking out Jimmy Braddock. The crowd of 25,392, which paid $246,546, was not disappointing to Arthur Wlrtz, James D. Norris and Louis, who formed the IBC. However, It was In sharp con trast to the 45,500 fans who paid $715,470 to see the Brown Bomber get off the floor In the first round and flatten Braddock in the eighth. Age Tails On Waloott Charles' victory over the 35-year-old Camden, N. J., family man was decisive. Walcott stak ed everything on a knockout blow in the first two rounds. But the faltering veteran, who one year ago was beaten into submission by Louis, had lost much of his speed and ring cunning as the result of year'o absence from the ring. Charles fought a cautious bat tle. He had his aging foe on the way to a knockout In three dif ferent rounds, but Jersey Joe possessed the ring generalshlp-to escape a knockout. He backped alled and failed to fight in the closing rounds. Between the 12th and 13th, Joseph Triner, chair man of the Illinois State Athletic Commission, ordered Referee Mil ler to tell Walcott'i handlers to make him fight. Walcott apparently fought on ly to remain on his feet until the finish. Charles at 181 34 gave away 13 34 pounds to Walcott, who scaled 195 H. The announcement of the unan imous verdict knocked Jake Mlnlz, one of Charles' four managers, into a complete faint. He collap sed In a neutral corner when Charles was proclaimed the new champion. He quickly recovered, however, and left the ring under his own power. 6 The News-Review, Roseburg, Or. Thur., June 23, 1949 T" Keepi the boys on their milking toes!

Jackson FETT First Sacker Jones Sparks Cardinals' Winning Streak; Brooklyn's Lead Dwindles By JOE REICHLER Associated Press Sports Writer Vernal (Nippy) Jones, the 24-year-old sophomore first sacker, in his colorless, but efficient way, is doing a bang-up Job for the St. Louis Cardinals. In the Cards' last nine games with Brooklyn, Philadelphia and New York, Jones has wrecked enemy pitching with 17 hits In 38 times at bat. He's driven in 17 runs and boosted his season mark 41 points to a respectable .311 Jones collected three hits last night to help the Cards defeat the Giants, 11-8.

The triumph, coupled with New York's spilt in its aoume header with the St. Louis Browns, left the Tigers four games behind the front-running Yankees.

However, the Yankees came back to outscore the Browns, 10-8, In the nightcap, in the other American League game, the Chicago White Sox, behind the steady hurling of southpaw Bill Wight, defeated the Senators In Washington, 4-1. The Browns came within an eyelash of winning a doublchead er from the Yankees. They knock ed out Vic Raschl, belaboring the ace righthander with 13 hits In less tnan six innings or. tne nightcap, but Tommy Hcnrlch's 14th homer in the last of the sixth, with one man aboard broke up an 8-8 tie. Dale Mitchell's triple with the bases loaded broke a 3-3 tie and gave the Indians a 14-innlng tri umph over the As. The win moved the Tribe Into fourth place past the Red Sox. Bob Lemon, who replaced starter Gene Bearden in the eighth, al lowed one run in seven innings to receive credit for his seventh victory. Carl Schrelb was the loser. Walcott Accuses Charles Of Dirty Tactics In Fight CHICAGO, June 23. UP) Hav ing flung his leather at Ezzard Charles without avail, Jersey Joe Walcott has decided to fling some mud. While Charles, newly-crowned NBA heavyweight boxing cham pion, was paying somewhat of a tribute to loser Jersey Joe by saying "he can take lt,'r Walcott called the 27-year-old Cincinnati belter "a sneaky puncher." Weary Walcott, a shopworn contender who missed his third try at the crown last night on a unanimous decision, told a dress ing room crowd that "Charles is not a great fighter he's a sneaky puncher who hit coming out of the clinches. When the referee broke us, I stopped fighting, but that dirty fighter kept banging away." Felix Bocchlcchlo, Walcolfs manager, chimed in: "Charles kept hitting low every round they were punches that hurt my boy." Davey Miller, veteran referee. discredited Walcott's charge. "I thought both fighters broke pretty well for big guys," he ob served, "I didn't see any nunches thrown coming out of clinches." Walcott, 35-year-old father of six children, Is not' ready to call it quits. "I'll fight Charles again next week, If It could be arranged," he Insisted. "I'm going to Cam den (N.J.) to rest. Then I'll be ready to fight anybody." Charles wants to be a fight ing champion "like Joe Louis." "I want as many fights as I can get," he said. "But now I Just want to go home and play some golf for a while. Although I trained at a golf course (Sun set Hills near Momcnce, 111.) they woman r. lei me piay. "I want to be a champion like Louis and I want to play golf as good as him." Joey Maxim, who gave Charles a rough 15 rounds before losing last winter, may get another crack at him. "I'll tackle anvbody the Champ says," added Charles, who still calls' Louis "Champ." Charles Insisted that the only time Walcott bothered him was "when he wouldn't fight." Locals Again Stage Batfest In 7th Frame Seven Tallies Scored In Rampage; Richardson Allows Only Six Hits By DAN MINDOLOVICH News-Review Sports Writer Seven Is a lucky number for the Chiefs. For two nlehts In succession, Roseburg batsmen suddenly came to me and clobbered tneir op ponents by running up big counts In the seventh frame. Monday it was Reedsport, last night it was the Giustina Reds who suffered from the Chiefs' seventh inning batting spree, in which seven runs were scored. The final score, 8-0, gave win ning pitcher Wally Richardson, who went the route, a shut-out over the visiting Giustina Reds. Roseburg's iron-armed mounds man allowed only six well-scattered singles. Only In the eighth, with two away, did Richardson appear to be In any trouble. With the bases loaded, the result of two singles and a walk, Richardson settled down and struck out the next batter. The first batsman filed out to him. He also struck out the second batter that Inning. Three hits, three walks, a wild pitch and an error put losing pitcher Hal Thompson In an un tenable situation in the seventh. He was relieved by Stan Anaue, after striking out Virg Sanders, then allowing Jerry coen to get a long single off him that per mitted Norm west and Lovcil Baker to score. The entire Rosebure HneUD eot a crack at bats that inning. Bar ney Kocn, singling tor tne lourtn time in as many times at bat, started the parade. Ted Wilson walked, then George Sanders flrsted on an error. With the bases loaded, Thomp son walked West, forcing in Koch. Baker singled on his first hit of the evening, bringing in Wilson and George. Jerry Hug gins walked, Virgie fanned, then Coen hung up his single, scoring two men. Hugglns scored on Thompson's wild pitch and Coen crossed the piatter wnen Dase umpire ai Flegel called a balk on the pitch er and motioned Coen home. That did it for Thompson. Richardson drew walk off Anaue, then was picked off going to second when Koch grounded to short. Wilson struck out and the balance of the game was anti climax. Both pitchers held their op ponents to scattered hits In the first six innings. Virgie Sanders, who flrsted on an error, scored in the third on Koch's single and after that, until the seventh, the J.

UP) The Portland Beavers have pur chased Japhet (Red) Lvnn. vet eran right-handed pitcher, for an undisclosed price from the Los Angeles Angels. He had been sold bv the An gels to the Chicago Cubs and then to Dallas of the Texas Leaeue. but was returned to Los Angeles when Portland and other Pacific Coast League teams refused to waive him. game was even-Stephen. Infield Clicks Nicely The combination of George Sanders to Koch was good for several put-outs that might have caused trouble. Jim Barnes, the opposing shortstop, also robbed Roseburg of several potential hits, managing to snag pop-ups and grounders with apparent ease. A neat double play In the fifth cooled the visitors in short order, when George Sanders, who was all over the infield during the game, picking up grounders and nabbing pop flys, threw to Koch, who in turn fired to West for a third put out. Koch's four for five was the high batting average of the eve ning, while Coen's one for one looks better In the percentage column. The Chiefs rest up for a big deal with Myrtle Creek Friday night, the game to be played here. They currently lead the league and Roseburg players are itching to even the score. Al though Friday night's joust is an exhibition performance, fans are assured some real action. The Chiefs are doine a bane-un job on the diamond, having only lost four contests in 18 starts. They rate some solid support by ine citizenry. The box: Glustlns Reds: n Lake. 3b 4 K. Brauner, 2b ....a Hawthorne. If 4 R.
