Heavyweight Title Fight Wednesday Chicago. June2l. — H'Pl — They hoisted an "iron curtain" around Ezzard Charles' camp today on fit" eve of Ills bout with Jersey Joe Walcott for the NHA-recogniz-'d 1 heavyweight championship of the . world. And it was just as well, because Charles was an 8 to 5 favorite wh > 1 is better off not bearing of the I confident statements oozing from 1 j Walcott. 1 Charles normally is a cocky sort of fellow who does not hesitate to predict glowing victories for himself. But for this tout he appeared leery, if not apathetic. The best he could do before reporters were shunted from the camp was to predict: "The man with the best punch or punches will win the fight."' That statement could hardly b» considered a flaring venture onto a limb. , Walcott, on the other hand, was confident in a left-handed sort i.f way. "My manager. Mr. (Felix) Bocchiccio and I have always though* we'd get the championship some ' day." he said. "We didn't know I when but we thought we’d get it." ’ And then he added, “if not th * first time, then maybe, the second, or the third, or the fourth." This being his third crack at the title, it could be presumed that Jersey Joe feels tie has at least one more chance should he fail her.* — tomorrow night. The attitude towards this fight was generally one of apathy on thn part of the public, although ins promoters characteristically predicted a take of altout 1250.0d0. Recognized as a championship match by the NBA. it as yet has no such sanction in such non-NBA I states as New York nor is it recognized in England. The fighters wound up their training with light workouts yesterday Charles went through five rounds of sparring against three partners. Walcott finished his boxing the day before, and took oniy light exercises yesterday Because of the so-called "iron < ur-' lain" which manager Jake Mintz slapped on the Charles camp. *Ezzard's plans were not known. However it was reported that he will return from his suburbs training camp to Chicago tonight Walcott was due to remain in camp until tomorrow morning, when he will drive here for the weigh-in HARTFORD CITY MAN (Coot.
