Crown Battle
Gets Approval
WASHINGTON. April 2 -fP-The
National Boxing association's
executive committee today endors
ed the match between Jersey Joe
Walcott and Ezzard Charles for
the world's heavyweight title va
cated by Joe Louis.
Walcott and Charles are to meet
In Chicago the night of June 22 in
a fight under the promotion of
Louis.
NBA President Flamen B. Adae
said the executive committee's en
dorsement .supports the action of
NBA Commissioner Abe J. Greene
who approved the match. Adae
said this was the answer to criti
cism of Greene. The New York
State Athletic commission came
out in favor of a tournament to
determine a champion, rather than
a single match. New York is not
a member of the NBA.
Adae pointed out that Walcott
and Charles were the No. I and
No. 2 challengers, respectively, for
Louis' crown.

Portland Bout
PORTLAND. April 2-(JP-Slug-
ging Joe Kahut will try for his
second decision or I better over
Baby Dutch Culbertson of Los An
geles in a 10-round match of the
heavyweights here Tuesday night.
It will be their third bout. The
first was a draw, sit Seattle, and
the second saw Kahut get the nod
after knocking down his opponent
In the second for a brief count.
Boosters of the Oregon farm boy
from Wood burn think he can do
it again. Culbertson has an edge
in height and reach. But Kahut's
haymaker overhand is potent when
it lands as it did in their second
match. His close-in ability is more
than just helpful against-a fighter
like Culbertson.
