By JERRY LISKA CHICAGO w—The° suspicion is growing that Jersey Joe Walcott will flit through the greatest box- ing ballet of his career “in his attempt to dethrone Heavyweight Champion Rocky Marciano. It was with the disdain and pride of a champion that Walcott waded ‘into an upstart Marciano at Phila- delphia last September in a «re- mendously thrilling bout. that ended in a stunning 13th round knockout of Jersey Joe. Now Jersey Joe knows differ- ently. Rocky can be hit but not He won’t say so, but everything about his preparation for his May 15 return bout with Marciano at Chicago Stadium indicates that ‘Walcott is ready to hit and run— as only this remarkable ring an- cient knows how. Even without his first-round knockdown of Marciano, Walcott would have been well ahead on points through 12 rounds at Phila- delphia In the course of his brutal toe- to-toe: slugging with the Brockton, Mass., Blockbuster, Walcott got himself cut in the left eye, blood from which he claims blinded him to the 13th-round roundhouse right which felled him like an axed steer, All. these things have been weighed carefully in the Walcott camp, close observers say, and Jersey Joe will be out to dance and jab Marciano into an out- pointed loser, He did this in his title defense against Exzard Charles, a much younger foe who remembered too much that Walcott carried an ex- plosive punch in their previous meeting, which cost Charles the championship, Even Walcott’s trainer, Dan Florio, admits that if Walcott fights Marciano the way he de- fended his title against - Charles, “It'll be a walkaway—a real walk- | away for Jersey Joe.” Florio won't disclose Walcott's | strategy. He even claims that Jersey Joe is training the same} way now as he did before the; battle in Philadelphia. j But one Walcott camp follower Points out signiticantly that Wal-! Gott scored at least 15 knockdowns | Preparing for the first meeting with Marciano. This time, that has happened only once or twice, i Now Walcott is training to move, | move, move. He constantly is roll- ing with punches. He keeps work- ing off the ropes 2s elusively as possible. He uses his famed “Wal- cott shuffle,” suddenly breaking! into 3 nonchalant walk and then} eneaking over a ‘The last year in which an Amer- fean League pitcher won 30 games was in 1931 whea Lefty Grove wo | Bi for the Aibletics, Key West Kennel Club Result Charts— Tuesday May 9th Date of Last Race 51 5- 1° 5- 1° 5-15 5- 1 Jacoba Razor’s Rocket Sign Here Jan-Jan- Take Ten 5- 1° Really Rare 5-15 Modern Age 4-28'° Maude’s Girl Winner—Marianao Kennels’ Brindle JACOBA RAZOR’S ROCKET SIGN HERE Date of Last Race Vicente Dublin Gal Doctor Dodd Lucky Par Fair Hope Genteei Jury Duty Mountain Park 2 Se Winner—Manuel Foster’s Black Brindle D., July, 1949.
