ROCKY MARCIANO , his punch gives foes pre-bout jitters By ML'RRAY OLDERMAJf CHICAGO- (NEA) If a guy comes out for a fight, and he's scared, the first good punch is go ing to knock him down. , And in the case of Jersey Joe Walcott, out. Jittery Jo? came into the ring like a Paychek and went out like Levinsky. It's an axiom In boxing, if you hit the right nerve on the chin with a .square sock, the man's go ing to crumple. Jack Dempsey was once flattened by a 16-ounce glove in sparring when he walked into a flush right. A puff-ball puncher like Bat Battalino floored rugged Billy Petrolic because he located and dissected the nerve. The chances of being knocked out by one punch, like Rocky Mar ciano kayocd Walcott, are en hanced when the victim suffers from a case of rigor tremis. The resulting rigidity makes him a sucker for a knockout. WHIPPED Joe Louis had half his opponents beaten before they entered the ring to wit, Poycliek and Levin sky. Now it looks like Marciano is going to go throuRh the same cycle. Harry Matthews, who'd nev er been hit a solid blow In 10 years, crumpled with the first solid sock the Rock landed. , "He was awed by it all," free ly admits Manager Jack Hurley, "and maybe licked before he en tered the ring.

Eisenhower, who led the Repub licans to victory last November, presided over a GOP defeat last night. With the Chief Executive look ing on, alter throwing out the first hall, Republican members of Con gress lost to the Democrats 3-2 in an uproarious five inning benefit baseball game In Griffith Stadium. GOP pitcher Glenn Davis of Wis consin had the Democrats well in hand, 2-0, until the fatal fifth. The Democrats pushed across two runs and then, with the score tied, Davis walked Rep.. Mendel Rivers of South Carolina to fill the bases. He hit the next batter. Rep. Hugh Addoniio of New Jersey, on the hand to force in the winning run.

A crowd of 4,609 saw the game, an annual event played lor the Washington Evening Star's summer camp fund for under-privileged children. Eisenhower, hatless and wearing a dark summer suit, seemed to have a fine time. His opening pitch dropped Into a scrambling mass of uniformed congressmen. Rep. Landrum (D- Ga) came up with the ball and triumphantly presented H for the presidential autograph. A number of sports celebrities entertained earlier in the day at a White House luncheon took bows durine the game, among them Heavyweight Champion Rocky Marciano and former New Yoric Yankee slugger Joe DiMaggio. ' ALL HAIR $J CUTS at CLEM'S BIG Y BARBER SHOP Merrill Lokevitw Junction ing in him." Certainly, Roland La Srarza and Ezzard Charles, sitting practically elbow to elbow 10 rows from ring side at Chicago Stadium, suffered dire thoughts as they saw Rocky wrap up the Ancient One with that short right-hand uppercut. HARDER "Rocky's thrown harder punch es," admits Trainer Charley Gold man. Now, of course, the legend's go ing to grow in proportion to the number of times it's repeated, and Marciano's short uppercut will as sume triple dimensions. The fact remains that La Starza and Charles, the only logical corr tenders in sight, are not exactly noted lor reckless bravado in the ring. It was Charles' timidity, after being nailed by Walcott in Pittsburgh, that cost him a chance to regain the title in the return go. The pain was ended, but the memory lingered on. That's the way it was with Wal cott when he mulled over the one punch Rocky delivered in Philadel phla to salvage a losing bout. ONE PUNCH After a repeat performance, Rocky Is being touted as the heav iest one-punch fighter In ring his tory. That In itself is enigmatic. The heavy hitters of boxing have been long-armed men like Louis, Dempsey, Fitzslmmons. Rocky has stubby, hairy limbs which presum ably wouldn't give him the lever age for overwhelming power. "But look at those forearms and wrists," points out Goldman. "They are thick and strong. There's an other thing about Rocky. Unlike most fellows his build stocky nnd strong he's not muscle-bound. His arms are smooth and almost kinda flabby. The muscles don't ripple. Why, even Louis, who's a lot tall er, bulged more in the biceps." Rocky prefers the bulges on the other guy's chin. HOLLYWOOD Wl Big Bill Til den, who popularized the game of tennis In America and was gener ally considered the sport s all-time master, Is de.td at 60, apparently of a heart attack. The rangy ruler of the courts during the decade of the 1920s was found dead in his modest apart ment last evening by the building manager. - Acting Fire dpt. O. V.
