Marciano 5-1 Favorite To Retain Title Postponed NEW YORK (INS) — The Rocky Marciano-Epgard Charles heavyweight title fight, scheduled for tonigot at (Yankee Btadium, was postponed today for 24 hours because of rain. NEW YORK (INS) ■— Rocky Marciano and Ezzard Charles, incumbent and ex-chatnpibn, respett lively,'meet tonigtif'dt Yankee Stadium for the second time in less than three months —for ownership of Rocky’s heavy-weight title. It's a quick enough repeat that this one could be fought from memory, but Ez.&ad Rocky insist it won’t be so. diaries, who nearly won the last time, premises to go all-out to press an early advantage against the normally slow starting Marciano. Rocky says he's ready for anything -T-. “to stand toe-to-toe and dug It ouL or for a long fight like the last one" when he had to rally to gain a-15-round decision. In support of his announced plan to “try for a knockout,” Charles intended to com® in at Die official weigh-in this noon three or four pounds heavier than the 184*4 he scaled last June. Marciano was expected to weigh about 185. Despite Charles’ tigerish previous showing, he’s • 5-to-l betting underdog. Nor is the gate going to top last time’s 48,Mb attendance. In both bases, the theory is that Ez—who fought the best fight of his life last time —can’t hope to improve. Marciano might. He usually does the second time out against any foe. The hout will be on theater television. and to convenience the nationwide audience, it will begin at 10:30 p.m. EDT. It will be broadcast by CBS radio. tn addition to thi burden of tradition — no ex-champlbn ever has regained the heavyweight title Charles labors under th® possible :inx. incipient in the fact that this is liis 13th title fight. It well could be his last. At 33. he's three years older than Marciano. Rocky, unbeaten in 46 fights and a kayo winner in 10 of them, overame a badly bleeding cut over >is left aye to batter Eztard s face •mt of Shupe in the late rounds vh< nMhey met before. Ez complained then that an 11thround blow to his Adam’s apple sickened him and helped spell his undoing. But he was already falling behind jit that jmiot. Until Charles mmraged to’ito t.lte route. Mkrtiano had piled tip ten knockouts in a row. He may startworking on a new string of quick ?ndings tonight. In the average American home today, electricity • does the work which would require the labor of 35 servants, each working a 49hour week. The only wholesome way to help another is to put him in a position to earn an independent living. One only right we have to assert in common with mankind is that of having something to do.— Murdock.
