Jersey Joe Confident Over
Title Fight With Rocky
By OSCAR FXALEx
PleasantvUfe. N.J.. U.R A
cheerfully confident Jersey Joe
Walcott promised today that his
last fight would be his best.
"I won't be careless this time
and I'll win back the title," Wal
cott said determinedly. "Then
I'm going to retire."
Those are 39-year-old Joe's
plans as he starts heavy train
tag for his April 10 Chicago
meeting with h e a v y w eight
cnamplon Rocky Marclano.
As always, just as in the
bitter years when he battled
poverty and frustration, Jer
sey Joe remains brightly hope
ful. The knockout by which
Marclano stripped him of the
title last September has been
put firmly behind him.
The shock and mental para
lysis which turned him Into a
listless automaton that night in
Philadelphia are gone. Old Joe's
faith is firm once more and this
again is the man who chased Ez
zard Charles relentlessly until
he finally hit the heights.
A triple lure drives Walcott as
he walks and runs those aging
legs into super condition over
the flat roads of southern New
Jersey. He wants to be the first
man to win back the title. He
wants one more big payoff and
he wants to step down as cham
pion.
There is a widely-believed
theory that, should he regain
the crown, Joe would be
driven by past memories of his
poverty-stricken past to ac
cept the bait of more big
purses. This he denies.
"Fighting Is hard work." he
explained in a soft voice.
Everybody believes that I'm
older than I am actually, but
even for far younger men get
ting into condition for a tough
bout Is gruelling. After this
fight I will be fixed financially
ana l want to spend more time
with my family."
You sense that even Joe.
physical marvel, is beginning to
feel the toll of the years. Cer
tainly he has tolled arduously
as he prepares to face Marclano's
lethal fists again.

Defeat Larsens in
Hectic Finish
The tag team match that local
wrestling fans have been waiting
for Don Kindred and Frank
James vs. Tol Yamato and Mr.
Sakata will be forthcoming
soon.
The stage for the Neero vs.
Japanese tag teamer was set at
the armory last night, when
Kindred and James defeated the
Larsen brothers in a tag teamer.
Promoter Elton Owen had
promised, the winner of last
night's, mix a chance at the
iMortnwest tag - championship,
now held by Yamato and Sakata.
The James - Kindred vlctorv
last night wasn't a popular one,
as lar as tne tans were concerned.
The deciding fall came when
Kindred grabbed ahold of his
partner's feet, and attemnted to
yank James out of the clutches
of Logger Larsen. : '. :
Referee Peters ordered Kin
dred to let loose. When Kindred
did ao, James and Larsen fell
backward, James landlne aton
Larsen. From there, it was easv
for James to pin Larsen, and the
Negro team won the match.
In preliminaries. Yamato de
feated Dick Hayes and Al Fri
dell drew with Glen Stone.
