Ez Charles Awarded Nod;
P. Andrews Handlers Howl
Chicago 0J.R) Ezzanl
Charles still was on the come
back path toward another heavy
weight title chance today, but
handler! of Paul Andrews charg
ed the advance resulted only
. from a low blow and faulty
coring by a fight Judge.
Charles, the former heavy
weight titleholder who has lost
three times in an effort to re
gain the crown, won a majority
decision over Andrews in the
Chicago stadium television fight
'Wednesday night.
But Andrews scored the only
knockdown of the brawl, putting
Charles on the canvas for the
compulsory eight count in the
second round. The scoring of the
judges for this episode varied
widely. .
Referee Frank Sikora gave An
jrou. the round by a 10-7 score,
Judge Frank McAdam made it
in. for Andrews, and Judge
McManus 10-8. McManus scored
the fight 96-95 for Charles while
Sikora had it 94-91 for the ex
champion and McAdam 95-89 for
Andrews.
"If McManus had scored the
round 10-7, the fight would have
been a draw," Andrews' manag
er. Marshall Miles, the former
manager of ex-champion Joe
Louis, said.
Then in the tenth round
Charles landed a punch to An
drews stomach which sent him
doubled up against the ropes,
and Sikora held Charles away.
"I thought he was going to
fall," Sikora said. "The punch
landed right at tha belt line."
"If it was low," Charles said,
"I didn't know it and I didn't
mean it."
Andrews claimed the blow
landed "right in the groin," and
said he was hurt the rest of the
way by pain. Miles and the oth
er handlers agreed.
Even though Charles won, he
wasn't impressive. Andrews had
him in trouble in the first three
rounds and Charles got the vie
tory only because he fought from
a crouch thereafter, worked' in
side on the body expertly and
kept Andrews confused with his
attack shifting occasionally to
the head. '

Facing Time
Trial Battle
A whale of a battle in the
time trials,- as well as in the
regular racing looms this Satur
day night in the hardtop auto
program ' at Jackson County
speedway here.
Johnny Boomer, hot driver
from Crescent City; Calif., estab
lished a -new mark of 19.80 sec
nds in - trials at the last outing
at the posse grounds oval and
the local driver's are gunning to
bring the record back into their
own fold.
" Bob Christie, Wayne Lemley,
Bud Hurt and Roy Deutschman,
along with Cecil James, who
held the old mark of 19.87, are
reported among those particular
ly after fast time honors. They
may have Bpomer again to con
tend with. It isn't certain, but
Boomer is reportedly making
every effort to be on hand.
Hurt Shines
The Crescent City driver was
a top performer on his home
track last Sunday. Holder of the
record for the oval. He saw the
mark of 17.1 tied by Bud Hurt,
Medford, then came back to
make the round in 16.05. Boom
er went on to win the main and
Christie took second.
But Hurt put on the amazing
show in the California main.
Local drivers said that he was
spun out early in the race and
took a place at the end of the
pack. He roared out to lap every
car but the first four twice and
took fifth in the scamper. James
was fourth or fifth running in
the main when his car was put
out : of commission in the 20th
round.
Deutschman has M35 back in
shape after it was wrecked in a
pile up - here two . weeks . ago.
Even with the -mishaps Roy was
able to gain a substantial lead in
track points. He has 125, over
taking Lemley, - whose ..- total
stayed at 113. -Lemley went
pointless the last time out when
he failed to place high enough in
time trials and when his car was !
put out in tha second lap of the
main. He got 17th position, just

the first 30-game winner in -the
majors since Dizzy Dean of the
1934 St Louis Cardinals, -was
ahead of Dean's pace, until the

seventh place Phillies,- needs
every win he can get from now
on and probably would be glad
to settle for 25 wins. ,

"arcade of heroes," now; has a
total of 89 runs batted in. whkh
leaves him with a total of 101 to
acquire in the remaining half of
the season if he wants to equal
the Wilson total. That is a large
order but there is a special fac

man ever to bit .400 .406 in
1941 is batting .394 currently
and could easily rise to the magic
figure if he stays hot with the
Red Sox. But because of his late
start he won't run up the re
