Ask almost any National League
manner what he thinks of the
Milwaukee Braves and he'll shake
his head In wonderment and tell
you they should have folded long
ago. .
They'll tell you the Braves still
will fold, but with the season more
than half over, they don't say so
with the same finality they .used
a month ago. '
When the Braves lost three
games In a row to the Brooklyn
Dodgers late last month, their
detractors thought they had
cracked good and - never would
recover. Then early this month,
they fell J'j games behind the
Dodgers, and again the experts
figured it was all over but the
shouting, .'..'..-
Yet, today, the Braves are Just
a game and, a half behind the
Brooks and creating more noise
than any dead Indian should. -GOOD

give approval but I think he could
act more, votes than he did last
March,"- 'x.' . ,.';..''. .,

NEW YORK WV-Rocky Marciano
has- deoided to fight -again ihls year
and' will defend his world heavy,
weight -title -.against .-Roland) .'l
Starza. in New York, preferably at
Yankee Stadium in late September.
Rocky never has had any reluc
tance to defend, of course. Al Weill,
his manager who manipulates the
strings,, preferred to take his time
before he allowed himself to be
persuaded by Jim Norrls, who runs
the International . Boxlng4 Club
chain stor'e.y.' -' '-. ' " -'v
Weill also 'picked the opponent,
as is his privilege under New York
state rules, at least, as long as It
was a legitimate challenger. Rocky
still had several months to go be
fore the six-month rule would force
him to defend. Only In such a case
can - the New York commission
Insisted on a specific challenger.
ON RECORD '.
Although the National Boxing
Association went on record once
or twice with a recommendation,
.that La Starsa light Ezzara cnaries
for the right to a title shot, there
never h been any hint inai New
York's Bob Chrtstenberry would
try to force such a matcn.
Thus Charles Is left on the out
side looking In. The best he can
hope for is a crack at Marciano
next , summer, if, Rocky doesn't
lose the title to La Btarsa. In h
meantime. Philadelphia promoters!
are trying to make a Charles-Harold
Johnson match for - Ceante 1
Mack Stadium. . TTV.
The La Starza-Maralano match
Is all set. for the signing, unless
some last-minute hitch arises whan
Weill sits down for a final con
ference .with Norris and -Jimmy
OeAngelo, La Staru's manager.
STEAMING MAD
Charles most certainly will be
steaming mad about his plight. It
wouldn't surprise me a bit If there
is an open break between the
Charles camp and the IBG.
Ezzy had his chance, won the
title, lost It and then failed to win
it back In a spiritless performance
against Jersey Joe .Walcott. Still,
he has been blazing hot lor the past
year, showing the fire he lacked
when champion.
-The-gamblers .will make La Star,
isa a 3-1 underdog against Rocky
and that's probably about -'right;
