Charles' share (80 per cent)—$02,052 (est). PHILADELPHIA, (P) — Jersey Joe Walcott set he proved a sore point last night in retaining his world heavyweight boxing championship. "I hope this fight proves to the world that I am the rightful heavyweight champion. He made it quite clear that his 15-round unanimous decision over Ezzard Charles was his long delayed answer to those who scoffed at his title winning knockout of Charles in Pittsburgh last summer. Sitting on a table in his dressing room under Municipal Stadium the 38-year-old belter blurted: "People have been asking if I was lucky in Pittsburgh. Some didn't even ask. They just said 'The old man landed a lucky pich.' Lucy ought to know better now." CHARLES’ TRAINER, Ray Arcel, was vociferous. "The referee annoyed him (Charles) all the way. When Ezzard got his eye cut, the referee wiped off the stuff we put on it. He kept telling Charles to keep punches up and that he wouldn't warn him again." The referee was Zach Clayton, first negro ever to referee a heavyweight championship fight. Clayton is a former Harlem Globe-trotter basketball player. Jersey Joe said: "Charles hit me low at least eight times. Some of them really hurt." Walcott wouldn't admit it but he was a mighty tired champion. Reporters waited 15 minutes before the door was opened. While Joe caught his breath, his manager, Felix Bocchiechio said: "It's up to Joe when we defend the title again. "We'll wait a few days and see how he feels. If we don't defend in September, we'll make a world tour. We have to make some money with this title. So far we haven't made a dime. People were convinced Joe was just a lucky old man. Now they know he's the real champion. We'll be able to make this thing pay." Now Walcott was ready to talk: "I really was glad I won a decision instead of a knockout. I planned to win a decision and..."

There's an article about Chuck Conners' preference for playing in the PCL over the major leagues. And one of the accompanying photographs shows the big Angle first baseman posing in his vertible, parked on Common wealth avenue, with Amerige Park spring training base of the Angels, in the background. The current issue also features a yarn on Dick Attlesey, worst record holder in the 110-metre and 120-yard high hurdles, now training for the Olympics at Orange county's Los Alamitos Naval Air Station. That the former Trojan barrier ace has a long way to come back yet following his injury last year, was evidenced night before last at Compton, where we saw him finish a poor fifth to Bill Anderson, Jack Davis, Harrison Dillard, and Craig Dixon. Attlesey was striding hard and did not have the kick to keep up with the others. He must obviously accomplish a lot to earn the trip to Helsinki.

It's modified stock car racing. The Pacific Racing association has them roaring and rolling at Huntington Beach each Friday night. The sport all started on the Eastern seaboard four years ago and has spread to nearly every section of the country. In Chicago this year it was reported 50,000 watched the modified stock cars in one race. Northern California tracks are also packing them in where they are outdrawing baseball, softball, and other types of racing, and even wrestling, believe it or not. The term "hard top" is derived from the fact that all cars must have steel tops. This plan keeps cars older than 1936 out of the races and creates a safety feature. And modified stock cars, even with all the flips, roll overs, and crashes, are still the safest type of racing. At Huntington Beach last week we saw four lusty crashes, but no injuries resulted from them. Hard top racing is inexpensive to get into. Drivers are spending $500 and even less for first class entries. Most of the car jockeys at the Huntington Beach track are from Long Beach, LA, and Compton, but the P.R.A. sponsors have been providing around the Stars on Move, Gregg Pitches Another Win San Diego's pace-setting Padres were only three games in front of the onrushing Hollywood Stars today. Los Angeles finally stopped the surprising Border City club, 6-2, chiefly through homers by Chuck Connors and Les Layton, while Hollywood dumped Portland, 4 to 3, for its sixth straight win. Oakland had the disheartening experience of playing top notch baseball to beat Sacramento, 4 to 0, with only 432 fans in the stands. The fans were watching the Ezzard Charles-Joe Walcott fight on TV. Hal Gregg, the Oakland hurling ace, came up with a four-hitter, and first sacker Tookie Gilbert socked a homer in the fourth that won the game. Oakland owner Brick Laws had television sets installed at home plate so fans could watch the heavyweight title fight. And the game was delayed until the scrap finished. But even at that, about the only ones in the ball park were the teams and park attendants. DICK WILSON, boasting only a .174 batting average, stepped to the plate in the ninth at Hollywood as a pinch hitter and poled a home run over the left field wall to beat Portland. It was Wilson's third homer of the year, but he leads the Stars in that department, proving that something Jeff Palin Is New Sea Scout Skipper Jeff Palin this week has taken over the duties of skipper of Sea Scout Ship 280 of Anaheim. He succeeds Bill Burr, who has been skipper of the ship since its organization three years ago. Mr. Burr is leaving Anaheim about June 15 to become Ventura county dealer for Red Jacket Water Service products. He has been associated with Owston's Floor Coverings. Mr. Palin, who heads the A. P.

Seattle took a doubleheader from San Francisco, 3 to 2 in 10 innings and 3 to 1. But the Seals maintained a two point edge over the Rainiers for fifth place. Eddie Chandler's five-hit pitching paced the Los Angeles win at San Diego, whereas San Diego's Lefty Al Olsen was nicked for eight hits in seven innings. Layton's homes off him came with two men on base. In Seattle's twin win over San Francisco, Manny Fernandez drove in the winning runs in both games. Sacramento, entrenched in the PCL basement, released veteran outfielders Mike McCormick and Danny Litwhiler. McCormick hopes to sign with San Francisco or San Diego.

Koopman's Furniture topped Stanton 6-4 behind the three hit hurling of "Junior" Harmson. Both games being played at the City park. Tony Bergess, Koopman left fielder banged out three hits, one a booming triple to lead his teammates to victory. Meanwhile, Harmson, youthful "Furniture" hurler gave up only three hits, while striking out seven Stanton batsmen. Koopmans scored twice in the first inning when Harmson singled driving in Wilbur Phillips and Tony Bergess. They scored four in the sixth on John Veenendal's double, Caroll Steele's single, Tony Bergess' single, plus four free passes. Stanton went out in front temporarily in the third inning as they combined singles by Joe Munoz and Joe Aguirre, with three walks to score three times. Abel Mendoza, Stanton hurler, drew a free pass advanced on two infield outs then scored on an error, for Stanton's other tally. In the nightcap, "Alex Tamale's hurler failed to show, so infielder Paul Knoller was called upon to throw. Paul allowed Hunt Foods only 11 base hits but gave up too many free bases. Kiko Munoz, making his first appearance in the "Cannery's" line up, pooled a tremendous home run in the 7th inning driving in Knox Boyd ahead of him. Boyd, and Wally Dietrich each collected two base hits. It looked like a real ball game going into the fourth inning as Alex led 5 to 1. Alex's runs came on John Haley's double, Bill Metcalf's walk.

Of All TimesNEW YORK(P)—A down in the mobile Philsdelphia's Municipal dium caused television fans to miss the end Jersey Joe Walcott-Charies heavyweight plonship fight. After seeing the fights rounds of the fight night, the fans were cfrom sight or sound North Orange county area seeking to induce some of the local racing enthusiasts to get in on this apparently very lucrative business. Rules and regulations are rigid and stock bodies; steering, fenders, hoods, etc., are required; but engines can be hopped up to the heart's content. And drivers at appearance in the "Cannery" line up, poled a tremendous home run in the 7th inning driving in Knox Boyd ahead of him. Boyd, and Wally Dietrich each collected two base hits. It looked like a real ball game going into the fourth inning as Alex led 5 to 1. Alex's runs came on John Haley's double, Bill Metcalf's walk. Successive singles by Bill and Sam Morales, then Bob Moraes hit a line drive double to clear the bases. This hit was to be Alex's last, as relief hurler Jack Pickering set them down in order for their remaining four innings, striking out 10 Tamalemen in his 4½ inning stint. Sam Morales turned in the most brilliant fielding performance of the year as he robbed Hunts of numerous extra base hits, when he dragged down balls coming to the outfield, tagged as base hits. TONIGHT'S GAMES Industrial League 7:15-Ital Gold vs Knott's Berry at La Palma park. Church League 7:15-First Baptist vs. Nazarene. 8:30-K.U.B. vs Cypress Baptist, both at City park. Huntington Beach share in part of the gate whether they win or lose. If you drop down to Huntington Beach some Friday night to view this latest craze, you may see a duplicate of the pre-war Chevie or Ford you owned, but under the hood will be a very "hopped-up" engine. And from the competitive point of view, the guys who used to risk their necks in the hop-ups around here can now get all the same kicks of racing, in SAFE cars. Thus thrills are not sacrificed for safety. The whole idea to us is a new, and very interesting angle on a young yet great competitive sport. Fishing Notes Trout were planted in five Southland fishing spots during the week by the Fish and Game division, according to the Auto Club of Southern California. They are, Hemet Lake and Dark Canyon Creek in Riverside county; Big Bear Lake, San Bernardino county; Matelija Creek, Ventura county and Sweetwater creek, San Diego county. Ocean fishing continued good during the week from Newport to San Diego, with yellowtail catches running from 400 to 500 a day at San Diego, according to the club. Sizes of the yellowtails checked into the various landings have been good, with some running as large as 38 pounds. On June 13, night fishing will begin on barges in the Redondo Beach area, where good bags of bass, barracuda and halibut were reported during the week. Several limits of bass and barracuda have been taken in the Santa Monica Bay area. A blue fin tuna was caught Wednesday from a boat out of Oceanside, the Outing Bureau added. Some good catches of trout have been reported taken in the Inyo-Mono area, but angling for the most part has been somewhat slow. However, the Fish and Game division has been working hard to stock every accessible lake and stream in that area. Ruby Tennison, of Paramount, is quite a fisherwoman, too. She went fishing Sunday and bagged a 35 pound white sea bass and a 10 pound 7 ounce yellowtail. The one-day catch from the "Sportsman" out of Seasport Landing netted her 75.5 Derby points, and put her well in the lead for this week's Derby prizes. Raymond Farni, of Pomona, took the "little woman" fishing on the "Music" out of Norm's Landing. She scored 39.1 Derby points with a nice barracuda and a yellowtail. Ray came in with a barrie to get a total of 15-10 points. That's the way the record reads, and these are only a few examples. Personally, I'm looking forward to the day when Vassar beats Notre Dame on the Gridiron! Memorial Day week-end fishing in Newport Harbor was really something to write about. Over the three-day angling spree, more than 11,500 fish were brought in by sportswomen (and men), including 1503 yellowtail and 2257 barriers! The yellows averaged 10 to 19 pounds and there were many barriers weighing up to 12 pounds. Typical catches: Friday, Norm's Landing boats, 136 yellowtail, 873 barracuda; the "Westerner" of Newport Pier, 38 yellows and 180 Skooters. Saturday, "Sportsman" of Seasport, 7½ fish per person! Sunday, "Alalunga" of Port Orange, 22 yellows, 212 barriers; the "Comet" of Kimball's 19th St. Landing, 100 barrels, 35 yellows. Hollypark Serves Double Header INGLEWOOD, (UP)—Hollywood Park serves another double-header tomorrow for its weekend turf offering, with the three-year-old colts tangling in the $20,000 Haggin Stakes. The Oaks presents an attractive rematch of Calumet Farm's A Gleam, Louis B. Meyer's expensive Princess Lygie, and the Yolo Stable's upset youngster, Tonga. A Gleam set a track record Saturday in the Cinderella Stakes. 1:21 3/4 for seven furlongs. And last summer she handed Princess Lygia her first defeat in five races. But Tonga upset both in the Sea Breeze Stakes here May 17 for a handsome mutuels payoff of $105.20. The Haggin promises to offer a small field, chiefly because of the expected running of Little Request. The two-year-old, owned by wealthy Joe Palmisona of Phoenix, slipped a full second off the track record for five furlongs on his last outing in 57 1-5. He might have done even better. Of All Times NEW YORK (UP)—A breakdown in the mobile unit at Philadelphia's Municipal stadium caused television right fans to miss the end of the Jersey Joe Walcott-Ezzard Charles heavyweight championship fight. After seeing the full 15 rounds of the fight last night, the fans were cut off from sight or sound at the added. Some good catches of trout have been reported taken in the Inyo-Mono area, but angling for the most part has been somewhat slow. However, the Fish and Game division has been working hard to stock every accessible lake and stream in that area. Some of the streams and lakes where the fishing was best during the past week were: Topaz Lake, Twin Lakes, Robinson and Green Creek, East Walker river, Taboose, Goodale, Shepherd, Oak, Independence, Hogback, Lone Pine, Tuttle, and Symmes streams. A 19 pound Brown trout was taken at Lundy Lake during the week, as well as many catches of smaller fish taken on bait and salmon eggs. In the good old days, father arrose at 4 a.m., kissed mother goodbye, and spent the day sport-fishing on the briny deep. Mother looked with awe and respect at his day's catch when he came home. Today, things are different. Newport Harbor Deep Sea Derby records prove mother isn't the stay-at-home she used to be. In fact, she's out-fishing the "fisherman" of the family. Out of more than one thousand persons entered in the Derby, the high point "man" is a little gal from Riverside named Vera Fellers. She has a total of 98.5 Derby points. Her hubby, Bud, has a total of 29.4! Incidentally, there has been a little confusion about that 57 pound white sea bass Mrs. Fellers caught, Irv Gronsky of the Balboa Pavillion says the International Game Fish association has recognized the catch as the Woman's World Record for white sea bass caught on a 30 pound test Typical catches: Friday, Norm's Landing boats, 136 yellowtail, 873 barracuda; the "Westerner" of Newport Pier, 38 yellows and 180 Skooters. Saturday, "Sportsman" of Seasport, 7½ fish per person! Sunday, "Alalunga" of Port Orange, 22 yellows, 212 barriers; the "Comet" of Kimball's 19th St. Landing, 100 barries, 35 yellows.
