Walcott, 36-year-old American Negro, gashed big Ten Hoff's brows and mouth and broke his nose while hammering out a unanimous 10-round decision be fore 30,000 in the rain, hail and sunshine at Mannheim's large new stadium yesterday. It was Ten Hoff's first 'profes sional defeat. German Groggy The squat, bull shouldered Negro from Camden, N. J., was unable to floor Ten Hoff; but he had the towering German so groggy in the fourth round that many of the 6,000 Americans soldiers and civilians yelled "timber! timber!" as they waited for Ten Hoff to fall like a chopped-down tree. Although Ten Hoff, the Ger man heavyweight champion, was six years young than Jersey Joe and outweighed him 199 25 pounds to 182'4, the American outboxed and outfought him in nearly every round.
