Aging Walcott
Called Amazing
Specimen by Doc
Kankakee, III., June 13 V
At an age when most fellows
get winded Just running for
street car, Jersey Joe Walcott
has run 300 miles.
(.
This road work, plus 131
rounds against sparing mates,
has left him as solid as a bull
and as fire-breathing eager as
one preparing to toss a matador.
Jersey Joe, age 35-40, is a
trim 198 pounder and confident
he will chill 27-year-old Ezzard
Charles and win the N.B.A.-ver-
sion of the world heavyweight
boxing championship.
They tangle in Comiskey
park, home of the Chicago White
Sox, Wednesday night.
After giving the Camden, N.
J., Negro a blood pressure and
heartbeat test. Dr. J. M. Hous
ton, chief physician of the Illi
nois Athletic commission, said:
"I don't know for certain
how old Walcott may be, but
whatever his age, he is In per
fect condition. He is an amaz
ing specimen."
Louis, who at 35 has retired
and vacated his heavyweight
throne, finds a guy just as old
and probably older in there
battling to gain it.
