' aggregation came back strong in

By FRED KERNER (Canadian Press Staff Writer) NEW YORK. Aug. 9 —- (C?) —

Ezznrd Charles has two fights on his hands when he steps into the ring at Yankee Stadium Wednes- day night.

Fir-st. he meets Gus Lesnevich to defend his National Boxing Assoc- iation version of the ‘world’ heavyweight title. But the second is the bigger battle of the two.

In seeking a win over the con- tender, he seeks also to win “verdict" front New York State -— the only one of the 48 which has

m

failed to recognize Charles as ruler of the heavies. Charles won the N.B.A. crown

1% months ago at Chicago when he decisioned Jersey Joe Walcott in a dull 15 rounds. But. the New York State Athletic Commission refused to recognize the N.B.A.’s world title.

So the lean Negro puncher from Cincinnati feels that an emphatic triumph over the former light- heavywelght tltleholder may change some minds in New York especially since Charles has failed to look impressive in his previous outings in this state.

Abe J. Greene, the N.B.A. com- missioner. has doubled on the Nevi York Commission idea and sug- gests that if Lee Savold and Bruce Woodcock don't tangle in Britain next month. Savoid should meet the winner of tomorrow's battle. Eddie Eagen, chairman of the New York body, suggested last week that the Charles-Lesnevich go was only an “elimination" in their book and that the winner meet Savold "or some other out- standing contender" tq settle the heavyweight tangle.

Charles ls s. 5-to-l8 favorite over battle-scarred Gus who is border- ing on 35 — some six years older than the titleholder. Lesnevich has been fighting for pay since i934; and has been stopped three times] —- by Freddie Steele, Lee Oma and Woodcock.

Tars, Knights Tied 2-All In Exhibition Baseball Game Here

Breaking through the hcme teaim barrier with a brace of tallies in the shat-h inning, the picked team from the four American ships in port last night. earned a two-ail deadlock with the Junior Baseball League lenders, the Knights of Columbus, on the Memorial Field diamond before a large crowd of fans. Held in subjection by the brilliant no-hit pitching of Phil Murphy for five innings, the Navy crew broke loose" with three straight ‘hits in the top of the sixth to earn their draw with the locals.

The Knights started out fast as they tallied their first run In (lie home half of the opening frame on an error and two singles. They took a two-run lead in the second inning as they tallied an unearned run on three errors. In the fate‘. sixth, however, the tars ciime to life as they tied up the ball game on t-hree of their four hits of! the slants of Murphy.

Owen started 0n the mound for the sailors and although giving up two runs and four hits pitched a good brand of ball. Latham re- lieved him in the last hull of the fifth inning and held the K. C. team hltless for the lust. two frames. Murphy pitched his best game of the year as he allowed but four hits while walking two and sending a tottsl of thirteen batters back to the dugout via the strike- out route. Owen gave up all the locals hits while walking none and hitting mother. He whiffed seven. His reliever pitched no-hit no-run ball in the two frames that he worked. He set down the six batters he faced in s. row, striking out the last batter.

Only hitter in the game to get more than one hit was the Knights of Columbus centre fielder. Glen Matheson, who had two for three. Giordano, the Navy catcher, hit u triple for the only extra base blow of the contest.

Lally Hennessey, second sticker for the Knights, made a beautiful stub of Weigers‘ liner in the second inning after he had completed s. double play for the first two outs of the inning. Hannah, third bese- man for the Navy team mude three nice plays during the game although having one error chalked up to him. In the third frame with the bases loaded he caught Metheson flat footed as he picked a hard hit ground ball and forced Matheson at the plate before (the latter was more than five feet from third base.
