Charles dropped , Wason to the canvas six times before the Omaha Neb., light heavyweight went down for the final time in the fifth round of their scheduled 10-round bout at the Milwaukee Arena Tuesday Bight. Rocky Marciano, the current heavyweight champ, was at ringside. He had never seen Charles fight bejpre and said he was?‘im : pressed" by TjfiarleS’ style, Charles didn't show him too much, however, as he put Watson away without using his explosive right hantj. Charles relied almost entirely on his left hand. battering the outweighed and outclassed Watson with jabs and hooks. Jake Mintz, co-manager, said he was not going to schedule any more fights until he learned whether Charles would get chance to meet Marciano for the title. He said he would be willing to pit Charles in an elimination bout with Roland L.aStarza if necessary 'before taking a title fight, but he said “We don't to do it.” -—jMajor League Leaders By UNITED \ PRESS AMERICAN LEAGUE Player A Club G AB R H Pct Vernon, Wash .. 36 138 23 50.362 Kell.
