Walcott Protest Is Turned Down By Commission NEW YORK UP — Promoter Jim Norris and Manager Al Weill iwere slated to Ibegin negotiating today for (Rocky Marciano’s September title defense, now that Jersey Joe Walcott’s “short-count” protest has been rejected. Ex-champion Ezzard Charles c<f Cincinnati or Roland LaStarza of ■New York will be challenger. Charles is the national boxing association’s “logical contender.” • There twill 'be loud screaming from the contender who is rejected. Cdnnbletion of the negotiations, may require weeks. Al Weill will demand “big imoney’’ this time for Rocky’s second defense, since the chariup’s purse for last Friday Chicago fight with Walcott was only $166,038. Jersey Joe’s flat guarantee W'as $250,000. The Illinois athletic confrnission rejected his “short-count” protest Monday and blasted his hopes of having Friday’s ibout ruled a “no contest” so that a charity Rematch could be ordered, The rejection came swiftly after clockings of the fight; movies in Chicago and New Ydrk showed that referee Frank Sikora had counted out the venerable challenger in exactly 10 seconds, and that Joe still 'was sitting on the canvas at the count cf 10. > Two (films were shown in each city. First, the preyiowers saw a kinescope of Friday's teleeasit. The kinescope was run at exactly the same speed as the fight, and theknockout on the film was completed at 2:25 of the first round. Also that the count required exactly 10 secohds. Next came th e really \,magnificent three-dimension niovies—the first ever taken of a prize fight. They showed crystal clear that Walcott was still on the deck at “10.” They also confirmed from two side angles that the knockout action comprised only two punches —a grazing left hook high on the head and a smashing uppercut to the chin that sprawled Joe backwards to the canvas. ■ I JT Chairman Rol>ert ’K. Christeaberry of the New York boxing commission said after the preview, “'he was counted out fairly. | And h 4. -knocked outlie didn’t quit.

Connor Uninjured As Car Hits Wall INDIANAPOLIS. UP — Senior Speedway pilot George Connor of Loe Angeles escaped unhurt late Monday when he crashed into a retaining wall while practicing for the 500-mile Memorial Day race. A veteran of .14 races here, Conqor\badly damaged a new racer when he spun northwest turn and hit the wall tail first at an estimated 100 miles per hour. The impact crumpled the back end, and the car then swung into the wall with the right front wheel and stopped on the track. . Itwas the third major wreck at the track, and occurred on the eve of the fdneral of • the late Chet Miller, dean of Speedway drivers, who, was killed Friday while tuning up for his 17th “500.” The 45-year-old Connor was driving an eight-cylinder car owned by Roger Wolcott of Indianapo; lis and assigned to his teammate, Johnny Tolan. Mechanics assigned to the car said it doubtful whether the mount could be re- - paired in time for qualifications next week end. ? 1 Connor has never won the classic, finishing third in f 949 for his best mark, and eighth last year. He is to be a\ pallbearer today at the burial of Miller, his close racing friend, who will be interred at a cemetery near the track. The Speedway) swill be glosed for a halfhour during the funeral service. The other major Speedway wreck this year sent Cliff Griffith to the hospital with serious burps.

Braves Blank Phils To Tie For Loop Lead p ♦ NEW YORK UP — Those Milwaukee Braves are tough enough to beat right now, but what’s going to happen when ace pitchers Warren Spahn and Vern Bickford get back into action along\ with" the strong-armed kids who have been carrying them to victory after victory? Most teams would run head-on into trduble if they lost a pair of aces like Spahn and Bickford for almost fhree weeks* but the Braves .seemed to be getting along better without them. In fact, Spahn, who has been out with a pulled side muscle, said “it is going to be tough to break back into the starting rotation again.” It was Charley Grimm’s prize ex-G.L, Bob Buhl, who pitched, his second fine game In a row Monday night, a seven-hit, 4-0 victory over the Phils as Milwaukee made it seven victories in the last eight games, and moved back into a first place tie. Buhl was given a one run lead in the first inning on a triple by Bill Bruton and a single by Ed Mathews and that Was all he needed. In the third Del Crandall hit the longest homer yet to\ be delivered in the new Milwaukee park, a 400-foot blast into left center. He also drove in the final two runs with a single in the eighth. The Phils suffered the loss of starting pitcher Karl Drews when he was hit in the knee by a line drive in the fifth. He suffered torn ligaments and may be out Tor some time. The Reos topped the Dodgers 2-1 in 10 innings on Ted Kluszewski's home run and the Giants defeated the Cardinals 8-6 in other National League games. The Senators blanked the White Sox, 3-0 while Detroit tdpped Boston 5-2 then lost Srs at Boston in American League games. All other teams had open dates. Kluszewski put an end to an evening of frustration for Brooklyn, ■which tied a major league mark by leaving 18 runners on base in thei first nine innings as Bud Podbielan yielded 13 walks, a hit batsman, a wild pitch and six hits but bore down to hold off any scoring after Jack Robinson doubled home a first inning run. Andy Semy inick hit a homer tor Cincy's other tally. The Giants cashed in on a fourrun rally that included a threerun homer br Monte Irvin for their victory at St. Louis. Earlier Hank Thompson hit a two run Giant homer. Red Schoendienst homered for the Cards and Stan Musial drilled three singles. Connie Marrero, Washington's ci-gar-smoking Cuban right hander pitched five hit ball and struck oui nine in winning a duel with Joe

Dobson. Dobson had only one bad inning, the sixth when Washington scored all of, its runs and two errors figured in the rally. , Three straight hits, a single by Wayne Terwilliger, a double by Mickey Vernon, and a single by Dutch Vollmer scored one run. Errors, by Fred Marsh and Dobson delivelred the others as Washington made It eight victories in the las: 10 games. Catcher Mickey Grasso suffered a split index finger on his righ| hand and will be lost to Washington for a week or more. \ * Detroit built \up its best streak of the season, winning its third game in a row in the opener. behind five-hit pitching by Garver and Timely hitting by Steve Souchock and Walt Dropo. Each hit a double and triple, although Souchock had to leave in the fifth with a pulled leg muscle;. In the second game Boston poured over six funs in' the first inning and enabled Mel Parnell to coast to his fifth straight victory, qlso a five-hitter in which he needed relief from EUis Kinder. Boston made 12 hits, combining four of them with four walks in the big opening inning in, which three Detroit pitchers could not stem the tide. White Sox, Yankees Practice Wednesday Practice sessions for two Decatur Little League teams for "Wednesday were announced today. The White Sox. managed by Ross Way, will practice at 9 a. m. and the Yankees, managed by Rollie Ladd, will practice at 5:15 p. m.
