() — Joe Louis thinks Ezzard Charles is training for the wrong kind of fight in his bid to win back the heavy weight title in his bout with Récky Marciano Thursday night at Yan- kee Stadium. The Bomber watched Charles go five rounds yesterday, pressing the attack as though he meant to carry the fight to Rocky. : “You don’t go in there and mix with Marciano,” said the former champ, who called Marciano “stale” Saturday. In answer to a question, Louis admitted it would be suicide for Charles to mix with the champ. “The way to beat Marciano should be to stick with your left and then throw the right when he misses. If Charles fights Rocky like he fought against me, he could beat Marciano. But he doesn’t seem to be training for that kind of fight.” Tom Tannas, one of Charfes’ co- managers, said the 32-year-old Cin- cinnati Negro was perfectly tuned for his best fight. “Mentally he was never better,” he said. And he’s just as good physically as when he fought Louis. Charles planned one more work out, and possibly two, before he breaks camp Wednesday after noon, His five-round drill Sunday boosted his training total to 143 rounds. Marciano finished the heavy work yesterday, going two rounds with Keene Simmons for a total of 183 rounds since April 2. He will loosen up with a little shadow box- ing to hold the edge. | | PLENTY OF FISH—This 380-pound Jewfish required: a full four io boat after he was hooked by Captain Tony Tarracino and mate Allen Meres abodfd*the Greyhound last Wednesday.

Cooper, who left immediately for Baltusrol to see if his consistency would continue, figures he was “‘a little lucky” in beating out Tommy Bolt of Houston, Tex., and Doug Ford of Kiamesha Lake, N.Y. Bolt, who had the championship in the palm of his hand until the pressure got the best of him on the final hole, took second and $1,800 with a 264. Ford, defending champion, was third with 265 and pocketed $1,400. Bolt entered the final round tied with Shelley Mayfield of Chicopee, Mass., and lost out when he lifted his tee shot from the 200-yard 18th hole into the waters of Linkhorn Bay, which flanks the 18th green.
