FROM RAGS—For 21 years Jersey Joe Walcott (right) had been fighting hunger, poverty and boxers, grinding out an ex. istence for his wife and family. Jersey Joe had to strain and toil just as he did with former heavyweight champion Ezzard Charles (left) in the close quarters early in the seventh round of their heavyweight title bout at Pittsburgh last night. -

on June 25, 1948, Louis announced his retirement. That Charles was a real champion had been doubted. Now the evidence against the Cincinnati heavyweight is conclusive,

Walcott caught Charles coming and the Cincinnati king slept in peace as Walcott. reached the pinnacle of fighting success—the heavyweight championship at 37.
1947, in the Garden here, had denied him the title after he had outfought Louis. Referee Ruby Goldstein that night called Walcott the new champion, but the two judges saved the Bomber. = ” 5 ONLY CORBETT, who got three shots at the title, approached Walcott in persist ence. When, at 37, Gentleman Jim tried to regain the crown in a
battle with Jeffries, his legs gave out in the 23d round, when he had the fight on
points, and only two more heats to go. ; Last night, at Forbes Field, it looked as if Walcott might run out of gas in 10. But that left —- hook found its mark, Charles tumbled, got up, and tumbled again. And now the boxing industry wonders, “where do we go from here, boys, with Methuselah in command?”
