0 — ‘ Z I Today's Sport Parade | By Oscar Fraley I (Reg. U. •- Pat Off.) I New York. Jung 23 -(UP)— The fearsome reputation founded through the year* by Joe Loßi* made the “Brown Bomber" a heavy favorite with a cross-section of the sports world to defend his heavyweight championship successfully tonight against Jersey Joe Walcott. Strangely enough, most of the sentiment favoring Walcott came from within the fight game itself but in the other sports they banked heavily on the old adage of riding with the champion. Here is the way some of them look at it: For Walcott: • Jack Sharkey, former heavy weight king “If he makes the same fight he did last time." Charley Johnson, president fight managers' guild—“ Because up to now Walcott was a hungry fighter. Now he's eating regularly." Al (The Vest) Weill, fight mana ger “He'll befuddle Louis again." “Dumb Dan" Morgan, veteran ■manager The essence of a 15minute dissertation: "Walcott." Stout Steve Owen. New York Giant coach—" Walcott by decision." For Louis: Jim Braddock, former heavyweight champ from whom Ixmis won the title-“lx»uis. as always." Tami Mauriello, louis' last knockout victim-"Wakott always was a bum, and he's still a bum." Jimmy Demaret. the golfjng rainbow—" Louis inside three.'* Ted Williams. Boston Red Sox "Louis inside four rounds." Ray < Sugar) Robinson, welterweight champion — “Louis in three.” Craig Wood, former national open golf c hamp- “The Bomber in two or three heats." Tony Zale. middleweight chain-* pion -“Luuiu should knock him out inside 10 rounds.” Andy Pafko. Chicago Cubs "ill stick with the champ." Frank Stranahan. British ama teur champ—" Ditto." 1 Ray Arcel, veteran fight train | er—"Louis after going the distance." Mel Ott. New York Giant mana |ger “I feel that Louis will knock him out." Freddie Corcoran, golf expert - "Louis In 10." Spencer Dayton, turf F. B. I. "I like Louis." I-eo Durocher. Brooklyn Dodg er manager—“lyiuls by a knock out."
