The fight mob for years had been accustomed to fellows like Uempsey, Tunney and Louis who could box and also punch. Tunney was no stick of dynamite but be could cut you up and hurt you. The fight mob had become too accustomed to Joe Louis to start cheering for an Ezzard Charles or a Joe Walcott, minus any part of personal appeal. Or even impersonal appeal. Charles was at least willing to fight, while to Walcott the thought of hitting someone or being hit was decidedly abhorrent. Walcott would have been an ideal soldier in the War of the Roses.

The Ezzard Charles Rating 1 Since the melancholy spectacle In Chicago known as the N.B.A. heavyweight championship, various experts and noncombatants have been busy attempting to rate Ezzard Charles, the winner. The best rating would seem to place Charles somewhere between the and the period. It is difficult to make any clear cut estimate since he was facing an More About Charles opponent who refused to fight, the Charles is a serious, earnest same being Jersey Joe Walcott. young fellow who is a good boxer Charles is a better boxer than and who is willing.

This isn't the type of fighter who is going to revive the lagging fight game and start the multitude cheering loudly. For all of that Ez zard Charles is very likely the best heavyweight fighter left in the world today. He should have no great trouble handling either Woodcock or Savold. Woodcock never was very much and Savold is well over the hill. Charles lacks any touch of fire or flame. He is merely a pretty good workman who Is Involved with inferior materia!. Louis has been through for sev eral years. His title was worth at least a million dollars to some am bitious fellow who could learn how to box and punch. The inducement has been the richest prize in sport. The ring game has had at least six years in which to develop just one fighter, one good fighter. The net result has been Ezzard Charles, who, in baseball parlance, would be rated a .270 hitter. Gene Tunney stopped Tom and retired in July, 1928. Max Schmeling won from Jack Sharkey on a foul in July, 1930. TOjjnX-- T By Harold two-piec- fiKWINO CIIICI.K rATTFKN ItEPT. !;( South Wells St. thlraio 1, 111.

Roosevelt's third term that a grammar-schoo- l pupil was asked how he was getting along with his studies. He explained that he studied just hard to get passing enough grades. "Oh, that will never do," said his shocked aunt, "don't you know that if you don't study very hard you will never grow up to be President of the United States?" "I don't expect to, anyway," replied the lad with complete lack of ambition, "I'm a Republican." An Englishman was sent by his company to investigate the possibilities of drilling oil wells in the wilds of Venezuela. He had been there a few days and had become quite chummy with a man who spoke English well. He was uncertain, however, of the man's nationality. He might have been an American or he might have been a Venezuelan who had learned English. One day the Englishman asked the man, "Are you a foreigner here, too?" The fellow gazed at him Indig-- n a n 1 y. "Foreigner?" he demanded wrathfully. "No! I'm an American." WILE. f PSi 4 k ' 4 it r l r Hi v just 7 days ...

There Is no complaint about the N.B.A. calling the Charles-Walco- tt fiasco a championship fight. It was a terrible fight to watch from start to finish. Jersey Joe Walcott started at a rather brisk pace but, after the second round, suddenly decided that he was through for the evening. He had collected three pretty fair purses in a row and he had been around 19 years. He had squeezed about all he could out of mediocrity. You can't keep on making lemonades out of one lemon.
