in every living room in the state that is equipped with a television set next Wednesday night. On the other hand the heavyweight champion s hip scrap between aging Jersey Joe Walcott and Rocky Marciano in Philadelphia, Sept. 23, will not come into. the living rooms. Only a limited. number of fans will be able to see a live telecast of this one. It will be televised at the Indiana Theater and it'll cost $2.50 per head. = » » . FOR THE past two years the International Boxing Club has cleverly built up Davey. He was a natural from -a publicity standpoint. } The red-haired Irishman is a rarity in the boxing game.
