Undefeated Marciano Risks Title For Third Time Against Charles Tonight NEW YORK (P)—Unbeaten Rocky Marciano, banking on dynamite and durability, will risk his heavyweight crown the third time tonight against ex-champ Ezzard Charles, Negro master-boxer, at Yankee Stadium. The latest weather forecast for tonight was "mostly fair and a little warmer." However, previously unfavorable forecasts and 36 hours of cloudy, cool weather retarded the ticket sale and may limit the crowd to 30,000 and the gate to $400,000. A spokesman at the U.S. weather bureau said, "The night should be clear for the fight." It is scheduled to start at 10:30 p.m. EDT. Marciano was favored at 17-5 to blast Charles' dream of becoming the first man in modern history to recapture the heavyweight title. Eight tried it before and failed. Swarthy, muscular Rocky, who belted out Joe Louis, Jersey Joe Walcott and Roland LaStarza, will be seeking his 46th straight professional victory and his 41st knockout. Questions To Answer With his fists, the son of a Brockton, Mass., former shoemaker will answer questions about whether he is ring-rusty and whether he is stale from over-training. The 29-year old champion hasn't fought since last Sept. 24, when he made his second defense on an 11th-round kayo over LaStarza. However, he went through an unprecedented five-month training grind that was criticized as to arduous by some experts. Charles, 32, will answer questions about whether he still has mental fire—the will to win, and whether he is physically "washed up." The supple Cincinnati slickster appeared to lack fire and physical sharpness while trying to recapture the title from Walcott in June, 1952. Two months later he to homes, but it will be broadcast nationally over the ABC network. It will be telecast to 65 theatres in 45 cities, where the total seating capacity will approach 180,000.
