(International) Jackson-Charles Fight Possible; Slade Beaten New York U.R) Heavy. weight contender Tommy (Hur ricane) Jackson, who turned tne tables on Jimmy Slade Monday nieht. may match his gooiy fighting style against the exper ience of ex-champion Ezzard Charles at Syracuse, N.Y., on Aug. 3. Manager Lippy Breidbart said today, "Tommy will fight Charles in a TV bout at Syra cuse, if Ezzard beats Paul An drews at Chicago July 15." Although the "Hurricane" of Far Rockaway, N.Y., is now ranked fifth among contenders, two notches above Ezzard, he still looked like an amateur Monday night as his long arms flailed out a unanimous decision over Slade in their TV ten rounder at St. Nicholas Arena. Lanky Jackson weighed 195V2 Dounds to the 183V& registered by little Slade, who had out pointed him on April .so, i04. Unranked Slade, 28, has faded considerably since their first meeting; but he still had enough life in his hooking bursts to make 23-year-old Jackson ap pear unimpressive. And New Yorker Slade was handicapped by a gash on his right brow, suf fered in the second round.

A player delegation was to be named today to attend funeral services Thursday afternoon at Greek Orthodox church in Lynn, his home town. Red Sox General Manager Joe Crbnin sought postponement of a Thursday game with the Na tionals in Washington, but the plan was abandoned because the game will benefit charity. Red Sox players, in Washing ton for a double header tonight, were issued black mourning bands today to be worn on the left sleeve for 30 days in memory of the 25-year-old player. "The Red Sox baseball organ ization and the world of sport, especially fans of Lynn, Boston and all New England have lost an outstanding athlete and a young man of great character," Red Sox owner Tom Yawkey said at Georgetown, S.C. "He was the greatest compet itor I ever knew and the clean est living athlete. The world is poorer by this tragic loss," Aldo (Buff) Donelli of Boston University said. Donelli coached Agganis at BU where he became affectionately known as the "Golden Greek." Agganis was BU backfield coach in the off season. He was making a slow but apparently successful convales cence from pneumonia when he died at 11:45 a.m. Monday at Santa Maria hospital in Cam bridge. Three staff physicians who attended him said "death was believed caused by a mas sive pulmonary embolism." Agganis was admitted to the hospital June 4 after being flown to Boston from Kansas City. He was stricken originally with the ailment May 16. He requested and was permitted to be placed on the voluntary retired list June 16. In 25 games this season, he batted .313.
