Champ Says, ‘I'm Glad It's Over’

By OSCAR FRALEY _ United Press Sports Writer NEW YORK. June 26—The

most feared figure in the history of the ring stepped down today— the winner and still champion. Joe Louis, after 11 years and three days as heavyweight king of the world, sat’ listlessly on 2 rubbing table in his dressing room deep under Yankee Stadium and said he was through for good. Surrounded by a screaming, exulting mob, the champ smiled softly and a bit sadly as he insisted nothing would change his mind. He was, he said “a tired ‘old man’ of 34.” He looked it.

By STEVE SNIDER United Press Sports Writer

NEW YORK, June 26—Jersey Joe Walcott, with a huge welt budding under his left eye and a broken heart nobody could see, blamed Referee Frankie Fullam for “riding me to death and changing my battle plans” until Joe Louis set him up for an 11th round knockout. “The referee kept after me all the time.

Plans to Give Up Welter Crown

~ CHICAGO, June 26 (UP)—Ray (Sugar) Robinson, welterweight champ, said today he is ready to give up his battle with the scales after a last title bout Monday.

Robinson said that the 147pound welterweight limit is “too tough” and that he would yield his crown--if it's still his to lyleld—after his battle with Bernard Docusen of New Orleans. The middleweight division is beckoning Robinson and he hopes to meet Tony Zale for the heavier crown. 4 Robinson's “last” defense of his welterweight title has been postponed twice and the champ at last report still was two and a
