HMIIIIIWL.. I WIN I SPORTS

Joe Walcott Retains His World Title PHILADELPHIA, UP — Jersey Joe Walcott—the -ring’s praying, punching 38 - year • old “miracle man”- will be able to risk his heavyweight crown again |n September because his showmanship and his fighting heart enabled him to win an upset unanimous decision over younger Hzzard Charles. Snorting blood through hi.s nose like an irate bull in the late sessions, Walcott not only captivated most of the 21.599 fans Thursday nigpt in Municipal Stadium, but he also captured the votes of the three ring officials in his first defense of the crown. Had 30-yejar-old Charles been mote 'aggressive and more showily savdge. he might have become the first ex-champ in ring history, to recapture; the heavyweight crown. But he let the‘father of six children "take the play away from him.” ~

Dodgers Boost league Margin To Three Gaines By UNITED PRESS Dodger manager Charley Dressen is nd mathematical genius, but no one was willing to argue the soundness of pre-season formula that he’ll get a lot farther in the pennant scramble with five 15-game winners, than with two or three who can win 20. That was the path of progress for the Brooks Friday. Right now it looks as if there wouldn’t be a 20-game winner on their staff. Last year Preacher Roe at 22-3 and Don Newicombe at 20-9 made the grade, although the Dodgers won no flag. This ytear, big Newk of\ course is gone—to the service—whlije Roe, who still is* unbeaten at 4 to 0, has beei taken off the hook his team mate Hurlers, ipore often the telephone receiver in a sorority house. Bearing out’ Dressen’s off-season prediction that “f’ve got a lot of guys who can help take up the gap,” Chipper Cholly had four others besides Roe who had won four or more games. A Last year at this time Roe was 7-0 and Newcombe 6-3, but the Dodgers were at 28-16 in the won and lost column, whereas right nobr they are 30-11 and their biggest winners are Ben Wade and Biliy Loes at each. Carl Erskine, Chris Vah Cuyk and Roe have won four each. Rookie Wade wpn his fifth game Thursday and his first big league shutout, 2 to 0, over the Pirates as the Brooks collected 14 walks and made the most of sii hits. Wade gave up five hits and struck out six. The Giants fell three games behind the leading Brooks while the Cubs moved to within IM games of thd slumping New Yorkers by defeating them, 3 to 1. Paul Minner pitched a seven-hitter for the
