CONWAY i At' NewslValurea) MOMF.NCK, I" - Jersey Joe Walcott has been a sort of jack-ol-all-tiades. Now he hopes to be muster of one a champion. He has, amont! other things, driven a truck, mixed cement, toted bricks, handled a hammer in a shipyard. What he wanted to do most and could do best was box. Hut in the lean years he hail to turn to other jobs to support Ids wife, l.ydia, and six kids. Jersey Joe spends a lot of free Inn.- just satiny and thinking at Ids training camp, the Peaceful Valley club. Te thinks of the fu ture and the past. Tony Georgette, a fight manager who has watched Walcott's stop and go career, says: When 1 first knew him 20 years ago, he lived in Match Town, a sec tion Of MerchantvlUe lN. J.I where houses were flimsy as match boxes, lie had a hard time Betting bouts. But he kept up his road work. He was determined he would be a great fighter. He finally caught hold, and now has a nice home In Camden." Walcott's future hinges on his mutch with F.xard Charles for National Boxing Association rec ognition as world heavyweight champion June 22 in Chicago. U will be Jersey Joe's third crack at the title, lie lost a 15 round split decision to Joe Louis in 1947. Louis knocked him out in 11 rounds last June. His listed age no wis 35 and this should be his last chance to hit spurt's No. 1 jack pot. What will he do if he wins the crown? "I'll try to wear it as gracefully as Joe Louis did,'' he says. Walcott is a quiet, pleasant man. He has a placid, gentle face. He likes to listen to the radio and play cards with his spar mates. He telephones to his home fre quently. He hopes to call again late on the night of June 22 to say: "Hello, Mama, this is the champ." Sylva Nine Hands Locate 13-4 Defeat The newly formed Sylva Plow boys romped over the Hazelwood nine 13 to tour on the Waynesville High diamond Sunday afternoon before a large crowd of local fol lowers. The visitors unleashed '8 17 hit attack to give Lanky Jim Cun ningham much more offensive sup port than he needed as he scat tered eight hits effectively. Cun ningham, who has been hurling for semi-pro teams in this section in recent years, was with the Eliza bethan. Tenn.. Class D club until last week. Jim Barnwell, with three for three, including two doubles, Ovie Heavner and Lard Cunningham, each with three for four, paced the winners at the plate. Ken Troutman, local third base man, lashed out four bingles in five trips to the plate, including a double to deep leftfield. Ray "Nig" Whitner, was removed from the line-up in the fourth inning after suffering an injury when he bat tpd down a hard hit line drive.

CAGLE FURNITURE CO. , Your Credit Is Good With Us v PHONE 3379 CLYDE, N. C. By FRANK ECK AP Newsfeatures Sports Editor NEW YORK One thing is cer tain about the coming heavyweight championship fight. Neither Jer sey Joe Walcott or Ezzard Charles will make a super champion. They've both been around too much. The two Negro heavyweights meet for the crown over the 15 round route in Chicago's Comlskey Park, home of the White Sox, on Wednesday evening, June 22. The fact that the White Sox moved in tneir outfield fences early in the season and moved them back again has no bearing on the fight. Neith er battler is a flugger. They are meeting for the first time for a number of reasons, their primary Interest being the coveted title vacated by Joe Louis after he flattened Walcott In Yankee Stadium last June. Had Louis changed his mind about retiring the bout might not have been held. Instead Charles, Walcott or Lee Savold, rated by the NBA as the three logical con tenders tor the vacant title, would have i'otlen a crack at Louis. Louis i-; one of the promoters of this fight , which of course, has the blessings of the National Box ing Association, a body which in cludes as members all boxing1 statfs except New York. "The 'idea of recognizing the winner of this bout as champion is to Rive young fighters coming up the ladder sometning at wnicn to shoot," says Abe J. Greene, NBA commissioner. "Without a champion, there is no incentive. New York's athletic commission, ' nwever, refuses to accept the win ner as the champion. "We are not going to recognize any one contest as being for the heavyweight championship of the world," says Commission Chair man Eddie Eugan. "There may be six or eight fellows around who deserve a title bout." Eagan feels that it may be a couple of years before New York gets around to recognizing a heavyweight cham pion. However, if the shoe were on the other foot meaning a Wal-cott-( hai les tight in New York the story might be different. It's happened before. A muddled heavyweight situa tion occurred following Gene Tun ney's retirement after he knocked out Tom Heeney in 1928. Two years later in Yankee Stadium 80.000 fans saw Max Schmeling meet Jack Sharkey. Schmeling was de clared the winner on a foul in the fourth round. New York's com mission recognized hint as world's champion. The Walcott-Charles affair may not be much of a fight The tipoH on this is that many ringwise vet erans are picking Walcott to beat Charles. They recall how Walcott battered Louis from pillar to post a year ago last December In Madi son Square Garden only to lose a split 15-round decision. Referee Ruby Goldstein voted for Walcott Walcott has had only one fight since then. That was his return fight with Louis in Yankee Sta dium last June when the Brown Bomber stopped Jersey Joe in the lith round. Walcott professes to be 35. He looks much older. He's been around pro boxing since 1930. He was 16 then, the record books show. He retired many times. Sometimes he was forced to quit because no opponents could be found. Other times he laid off because he had no manager and no bankroll with which to set up training head quarters. In C5 fights, Walcott has lost eight on decisions and four by knockouts. Before Louis rendered him hors de combat, he was stopped by Al Ettore, Tiger Jack Fox and Abe Simon. Charles has been fighting pro bouts since 1940. In 69 bouts he has been beaten four times and knocked out once by Lloyd Mar shall, a chap he subsequently beat and knocked out. However, Charles, while he has not lost since Elmer (Violent) Ray beat him here in 15)47, has met more obscure bat tlers than has Walcott. Charles attracted nation-wide attention a year ago February following his 10-round knockout of Sam Baroudi In Chicago. Ba- roudi was carried from the ring Dellwood Nine Notches 9-2 Win Over Food Store The Dellwood nine won a nine to two victory over the Food Store nine Friday afternoon on the Waynesville High diamond. Roy Howell went the route for the winners and notched an easy decision behind excellent support from his mates. Thompson was the losing hurler. Both of thep baseball teams were recently formed by the play ers who are interested in playing the game lor the recreation it pro vides. The Dellwood team is sponsored by Henr Campbell and is a part of the Community Development Prograiii. and died six hours later without regaining consciousness, 't hough the death was listed as acciden tal, Charles fought Ray a few months later, stopped him in nine rounds and turned over his $10,000 purse to Baroudl's family.

Amnions Hurls Ha To Victory Over I The Hazelwood Industrial' Leaguers notched their fourth loop ! win Saturday afternoon at Maitci 1 Mills when they romped to a 10 uJ one-win behind the five hit hurling of Litfle Jack Amnions.

Maryville Steelers Meet Locals Here Next Sunday Local baseball fans will have an opportunity to see one of the best semi-pro baseball clUbs in Eastern Tennessee in action here next Sun day afternoon when the powerful CIO Steel team from Maryville will meet the Hazelwood team on the Waynesville High field. The two nines met early in the season at Maryville and the Ten nessee boys walked off the field with an eight to four victory. Both teams have shown much improve ment since then and the game should prove to be a thriller. Manager Elmer Dudley has an nounced that Lanky Jim Cunning ham, who defeated the locals Sun day when he let them down with eight hits, will toe the rubber for Hazelwood against the visitors.
