Louis Loss Proves Heavyweight Kings Dare By JACK HAND NEW YORK (AP) — Joe Louis knows today that they never come back. Ezzard Charles, a vastly under-rated heavyweight champion, buried the ghost of Louis last night at Yankee stadium in 15 cruel rounds. It was the same sad story that Jack Dempsey and Jim Jeffries learned years ago. You can't beat Father Time. Puffed to 216 and shaky in his timing, Louis absorbed a bloody beating in his unfortunate bid to become the first heavyweight champion ever to recapture his battle. He missed by plenty. Didn't Have It The 29-year-old Charles did everything but knock out the bewildered Joe Louis of 1950, a 36-year old man whose iron fists had rusted away. Joe groped blindly toward the top rope in the 14th to save himself. He probably wouldn't have lasted many more rounds. "I just didn't have it," he said in his dressing room swabbing his swollen-shut left eye with an ice-pack. "I just didn't have it in any department." He didn't have to say so. It was obvious. Only in the 10th round when he hurt Charles with a flash of the Louis of old did he excite the crowd of 22,357 that paid a gross of $205,370. Some 25 million more watched on television. Brilliant Fight Charles fought a brilliant fight to earn the unanimous vote of all three officials. Referee Mark Conn gave him a 10-5 edge, judge Joe Agnello 12-3 and judge Frank Forbes 13-2. The AP card had it 12-2 with one even. It is too bad that Louis' failure will take much of the overdue credit away from Charles. The lean 184½ pound Cincinnati Negro, previously recognized as National Boxing Association champ, now is also certified in New York state. The British recognize Lee S. of Patterson, N. J., as their owl. He may be next on the list Charles. "I'd like to fight Savold on body," said Charles. Louis Favored Louis was the popular face as well as the 5 to 8½ b choice last night. But at the everybody had new respect Charles. This was no awed youngs there with Louis. Sure he fighting his old idol and but he came out punching. Hooking to the body, thru a right hand to the head, completely outboxed Louis plodded straight ahead in his style but when he caught C he couldn't put over the old cizer. Throwing navd body pu and moving in close before could counter was the C victory pattern.

And Portland's still in sixth place, after one day in fifth. There's a mixed result of being idle in the league these days. Seattle and San Francisco were rained out and look what happened: Seattle dropped four full games behind third place Hollywood which took two last night from Sacramento, 2-0 and 5-4. But San Francisco, even though idle, moved back into fifth place because Portland lost two to Los Angeles, 6-1 and 7-2. Meantime league leading Oakland increased its margin over San Diego to eight games by beating the Padres 7-5 in a day game. The Oaks have 12 games left. There were homers all over the park in the Oaks-Padres nip-and-tuck battle. For Oakland, Loyd Christopher and Augie Gaian hit for the circuit, each with a man on base in the fourth inning, and George Metkovich got his 23rd in the third. For San Diego Jack Graham and Orestes Minoso homered. Los Angeles' pitcher Bob Munckief held Portland to five hits in the first game. His mates made five runs in the second inning. The Beavers were held to eight hits by Cal McLish in the nightcap. CINA-CAR DRIVE IN THEATRE 6612 Lincoln Ave. Out Center, 5 Ml.

The Colonists spent most of yesterday. Colonist Drills Start to Taper Things were relatively quiet in the Colonist camp yesterday—considering that tomorrow marks the opening of the 1950 schedule. A movie and a chalk talk consumed most of the afternoon for the varsity, while the B's concentrated on somewhat more vigorous activities. Neither of the coaches, however, was tempting the injury bugaboo by running through rough stuff. Varsity mentor Clare Van Hoorebeke took it easy on the varsity, but his team had had a stiffer time of it on Tuesday afternoon when it got its second preseason scrimmage — this time against Garden Grove high school. Several members of the squad were limping around yesterday as a result of the workout, but they were just minor leg hurts and no one is expected to miss tomorrow night's opener because of them. While line positions were fairly well defined, Van Hoorebeke was still very much in doubt about his starting backfield. Only Leonard Weavear appeared certain to go, although it was not known at which halfback spot. Either Augie Huesca or Ira Webber will start at the spot not filled by Weaver. But as for the others, Van Hoorebeke said, "It'll either be Peterson or Dickenson at quarter and Rodgers or Steinborn at full." B Coach Sam Keith was fairly optimistic about his chances—and with good reason. The B's have looked very good in practice so far. 49ers Loom and In First Clash LOS ANGELES (A) have cultivated three, if national Football League, an enemy to the list.

Loyola held Pepperdine to a minus 13 yards running last week and roared to a 50-14 victory. Preparing for the Lion’s game with Texas Western at El Paso Saturday night, Jordan ordered a lengthy drill. The purpose? Defense against running plays. The six home and six away football games of the New York pro Yanks will be broadcast on more than 300 stations coast-to-coast. MELROSE ABBEY The Ram-Chicago Cardinals has been enriched considerably since last year, brought when the Rams traded quarterback Jim Hardy to the Cardinals and kept Bob Waterfield as the 1 field general. The background this is simple. Hardy was a for University of Southern California star, and Waterfield a UCLA star. Their college factions have continued the support on into the game, and the split is still over the respective merits of two players. Comes then the Philadephia story.

Right Kings Don’t Come Back The British recognize Lee Savold Patterson, N. J., as their champ. He may be next on the list for Charles. “I’d like to fight Savold or any-y,” said Charles. Louis Favored Louis was the popular favorite well as the 5 to 8½ betting price last night. But at the end, everybody had new respect for Charles. This was no awed youngster in love with Louis. Sure he was biting his old idol and friend, but he came out punching. Looking to the body, throwing right hand to the head, Ezzy completely outboxed Louis. Joe added straight ahead in his usual but when he caught Charles couldn’t put over the old equalizer. Throwing naud body punches moving in close before Louis old counter was the Charles story pattern. It was fool-proof, then he chose to hit and run, his ring-away punches were more effective than Louis’ whistling right hands into the air. The way he moved on top of Louis you would never suspect he was the man giving away 33½ pounds. Joe Gets 100 G’s Ezzard was in trouble twice, in the fourth and 10th. A left-right to the head buckled his knees in the fourth but he came back strong at the bell. Louis had his one big chance in the 10th when he shook up Charles with a short right to the head and chased him the rest of the round. He never could set him up. Charles got the short end of the purse, about $37,405, counting his slice of the $140,000 radio and TV cash. Louis, who said he made his comeback to get money to pay up income tax debts, will receive about $100,458 for his share of the fight and radio money. Asked if his pay fixed him financially, Louis mumbled a brief “Yeah.” 19ers Loom as Natural Foe In First Clash with Rams The Los Angeles Rams, who are cultivated three, if not four, "natural rivals" in the National Football League, are perfectly willing to add anothereny to the list. That would be the San Francisco 49ers, of course, and no mistake—the Rams are dead set on inaugurating the club hopes will be a long, profitable series with victory day in San Francisco. The Ram-Chicago Bear series become something of a trailing foes of most everyone else in the league. But the Rams yield one in pointing for victory in the big, bad Bears.

Pappy! Waldorf! JOHNNY WILLIAMS Starts for SC should be accorded this honor, and spent a good 30 minutes explaining why. No Experience Briefly, the Trojans have flashy material but it is well populated with newcomers who have not played varsity football. Coach Leonard Raffensperger said his squad was "ready for a ball game" and was well aware of the traditional Trojan strength. Raffensperger named a veteran backfield to start the game—quarterback Glenn Drahn, halfbacks Jerry Faske and Bill Reichardt and fullback Mike Riley. Seasoned Backs SC likewise named a seasoned backfield quartet, with Wilbur Robertson at quarterback, Fleet Johnny Williams and Dean Schneider at halfback and Ralph Pucci at fullback. Behind them come such hoped for newcomers as Al Carmichael, left halfback, and Ed Demirjian at quarterback. Phong 4018 ERMISCH MY CLEANER! Branch: S50 W. Center Plank: I17 W. Center Athlete! Phils, Yanks Try It Again BY RALPH RODEN So near and yet so far. Both the Philadelphia Phillies in the National and the New York Yankees in the American are within two victories of a World Series meeting but the road is strewn with glass. The Yanks and the Phils have a chance to end it all today but the task is not as easy as it appears on paper. New York can clinch it with the help of the St. Louis Browns. The Yanks will have to beat the Philadelphia Athletics and the Browns must cooperate by downing the Detroit Tigers in order to assure New York of its 17th pennant. Sweep or Split The Phils can nail down their first flag since 1915 by taking a doubleheader from the tough New York Giants. The Phillies can also win if they split with the Giants while the Brooklyn Dodgers divide with Boston or if the Dodgers lose a doubleheader to the Braves. Both the Yanks and Phils missed opportunities yesterday to take charge. The Yanks fumbled a chance to assure themselves of no worse than a tie by dropping an 8-7 decision to the Athletics while the Tigers nosed out St. Louis, 5-4. The Phils boshed an opportunity to clinch the pennant by dropping a doubleheader to the Giants, 8-7, in 10 innings and losing 5-0. The Dodgers divided with the Braves.

The Bruins, anticipating return of flashy Joe Marvin to the No. 1 tailback spot, figure to be at full strength following their 28-0 shellacking of the University of Oregon. That marked the first Sanders shutout since his Vanderbilt eleven turned the trick in a 34-0 rout of Maryland in 1948. Saturday's contest will mark the first meeting between WSC's newly-hired Coach Forest Evansski and Sanders and their respective styles of single wing grid play. The 12-game UCLA-WSC series now favors the Bruins, 7-5. UCLA has won the last six in a row. Seventh Flop: How the Other Comebacks Failed NEW YORK (AP)—Joe Louis' defeat by Ezzard Charles continued the unbroken streak of failures by former heavyweight champions who attempted to come back and regain the title. The following list shows how other former heavyweight champions failed when they tried to win back the title: May 11, 1900—James J. Corbett, 188, knocked out by James J. Jeffries, 218, 23 rounds, Coney Island, N.Y. July 25, 1902—Bob Fitzsimmons, 172, knocked out by Jeffries, 219, eight rounds, San Francisco. Aug. 14, 1903—Corbett, 190, knocked out by Jeffries, 220, 10 rounds, San Francisco. July 4, 1910—Jeffries, 227, knocked out by Jack Johnson, 208, 15 rounds, Reno, Nev. Sept. 22, 1927—Jack Dempsey, 192½, lost 10 round decision to Gene Tunney, 189½, Chicago. June 22, 1938—Max Schmeling, 193, knocked out by Joe Louis, 198¾, one round, New York. Houtteman Banged The A's rolled up a 5-1 lead during the first six innings for sore armed Joe Coleman. The roof fell in on Coleman in the seventh when the Yanks scored six runs to take a 7-5 lead. Yogi Berra knocked in three runs with his 27th homer and second of the game. Johnny Mize completed the uprising with his 25th homer. The A's got one back in their half to set the stage for Chapman's game-winning clout. The Tigers scored four rdns in the sixth inning, three on a homer by Pat Mullin, to take a 4-1 lead against St. Louis but Art Houtteman, seeking his 20th victory couldn't hold it. Houtteman was knocked out in the ninth when the Browns squared matters. The Tigers came back to win in the last half when Hoot Evers flied out with the bases loaded to score Johnny Groth. The Giants piled up a 7-2 lead over the Phils but the whiz kids tied it up with five runs in the eighth only to lose in the tenth when Al Dark singled home Monte Irvin from second base. Jim Hearn shut out the Phils on seven hits in the finale to win his 11th game and his ninth without a loss over Philadelphia in his career.
