The Bible-reading father of six Camden, N. J., children, Walcott thought, for one fleeting minute, that he had won the world's championship, fame and fortune when he battered Joe Louis from pillar to post in 1947. He puffed Louis' lips, put a mouse under his left eye'and knocked him to the canvas twice, Referee Ruby Gold-' . stein, at the end of 15 rounds; cast his vottf for Walcott as the new champion. In the mind of Goldstein, a former' top lightweight boxer and recognized as New York's best referee, Walcott had beaten, Louis. Bjxt the two judges felt that Walcott, a bit of a clown in the ring because he jabbed, dropped his hands at his side and shuffled backwards, had not been the aggressor. Above, Louis is down for a count of seven in round four Walcott is shown crying in his dressing room utter Louis was proclaimed "and still cham pion". As Walcott wept, a ring s.de vote of some 45 boxing writers revealed that two thirds thought Walcott had won clear-. Jy. He became "uncrowned champion". His manager pro tested the decision, but to no avail. Mountaineer! Open Practice; G5 Reporting j The Mountaineers turned out 63: strong tor the lust day of football practice yesterday.

He put his chin out. lis to hit it. Louis did, not once but 20 times. He went to get up at nine but fell back to the canvas at the CO, A lew minutes later Walcott said: "I'll continue to I win the championship. That's been my life's ambition," v. v.. On March 1, 1949 there appeared no chance that Walcott would get a third shot at Louis. That was the day Louis announced his "retirement". On June 22 that year, Ezzard Charles and Walcott met for the National Boxing Association's version of the world's championship in Chicago. Charles won a 15-round decision. When Ezzard met an inept Louis Sept. 27; 1950, he von a clear-cut 15-J-round decision and New York stale's boxing commission agreed Willi the NBA that Charles was undisputed champ. Last March in Detroit, Charles put his title on the line against Walcott a second time. Charles won. Meanwhile, Walcott campaigned for a fifth title shot. They met in Pittsburgh.. The result shows Charles trying to get up at nine, But he couldn't. Walcott said, in effect: "Thank God.".'-'''.. Jimmy Kuykendall Loses.

That isn't all. Just Tuesday he won medal honors In the 27th annual Biltmore. Forest tourney in Asheville, shooting a 138 for the 36 qualifying holes. He's a champ all right, and it Is good to know that he'll bi back to delend his title. V - ' ' The list of entries in the Tourna ment is swelling as rapidly as Sug ar Ray Robinson's head before his recent defeat in London. Bill Sten- der, former Southern Champ and now Dixie Champion, will be here from Miami, along with other well known names such as J. C. Ayers, Buddy Morrison, Jimmy Paul, Sam Bueklew, and Bill Ellis. Asheville will be well represented: Al Dow 1 in. who shot 144 in Ihe Biltmore qualifying rounds; and' J. C. llylt, are two of the entries. As Hay Rainer put it; "We'll have a pn-tly big entry; at least seven (lights and probably more." Bv HANK MESSICK ; him. Randv Turpin, is on his- way over. and. according to the papers, just about us 'exhausted -us Sugar was before his light. The life of a champ, apparently, is a busy one. If von Hunk this weather is too hot vou'll he interested in knowing that pari of Ihe Labor Day 'festiv ities al Canton will be a swimming match. You iuiglit get splashed by the swimmers even if you do but watch.' We beard an interesting story the other day, but we won't prom ise it's true. Seems as how a cou- . pie of local youths, apparently not quite sober, were looking for ex citement. Finally, in some alcoholic fashion, the Idea came un and a -bet made that one guy's blood was redder than the other. A friend' was found to judge, and knives brought out. The seoiu 1: the friend happened to have a copy of Mon day's Mountaineer containing tills column and its rein.irks on gamb ling. The Jioys read it and derided to cance the bet alu' solve the quest luti when next the l'.lood- mobilp came lo town.

That just any kind of an outfit woi't do for the guys in School. It may be informal and it may look slouchy, But it's got to be just right. p ft Percy Miller, Jr. (above) is be lieve'd to be the first Negro to play with a southern team in or ganized baseball.. He made his debut last week-end with ,the Danville (Va.) Leafs.in the Class B Carolina League. The 20-year-old outfielder was a star athlete in a Danville high school from which he was graduated two months ago. 'AP Photo), Haywood County is doing pretty well in softball. The defending stale champion from Canton, the Champion VMCA; and Wellco Shoe of Hazelwood have both won in vitations to the 1951 state softball championship tournament which will be held at Canton, It gets un derway next Monday, August 201 h. The Y team stands a good chance to repeat this year. So far they've won 43 against 11 losses, and they've played teams from six stales. Don't underrate Hazelwood, however. Our rather indirect, side-of-the mouth predictions about the big leagues that we made recently, seem to be holding up. If you don't recall, we said that Bob Feller might be the deciding factor in Un American League, and that "them bums look mighty hot" In the Na tional. The Cleveland Indians, wilh Feller- winning several, are" "now" Tid ing a victory train and leading the Yanks by better than two games. The Yanks were ahead when wt started out on the limb; As for the "Bums," the Brooklyn Dodg ers, are not riding a victory train, it's a "run away train". We mentioned Sugar Ray Rob inson awhile ago.
