' Charles Chops Down Lee Oma For TKO In 10th Round Of Title Fight By Jack i Hand NEW YORK. Jan. 12 - (AP)- Eszzard Charles chopped down Lee Oma with his merciless slashing blows tonight to score a technical knockout, of 1 Buffalo playboy in 1:19 of the 10h round of his sixth world heavyweight. title de- fence 33 Madison Square Garden. Although several of the lean Cin- cinnati Negrols blows strayed be- low the borderline to draw a stream of boos. the champion had Oma in 9. bad way from a barrage of head punches when referee Ruby Gold- stcin stopped it.

Oma. trying to dance away. was obviously in bad way. When another hook drove him into full retreat, Gold- stein folded him in his arms and led him to his corner. Oma Cm-rlod Fight There was little of the walk- lng Oma we used to know. None of the hands-down-at-the-side mad- dening saunter. He actually car- ried the fight to the champion in the early rounds, until he ran out of gas against a 29-year-old op- ponent. The tantalizing challenger rip- ped open a cut under Charles' left .t'ye in the second round. It seemed to come from ll sharp right uppercut In a clinch. A cut opened over Ezzard's left eye in the sixth. the some round when R welt appeared under Oma's right eye. In the dressing room. Charles said he felt sharper than any- time since he'd been champion. "I was over anxious," he said. "I'm sorry the crowd didn't like the fight. I didn't think I hit any low blows. Oma carried his guard low and my licks kept bouncing off. Besides he wore his pants hiizh. "He was plenty smart and tough." Omit confirmed the views of ringside critics when he said "I just ran out of gas. that's all. I'd never fought 15 rounds before."

On Wednesday I walked over 10 miles through all types of wood- land-hardwooda. stands of spruce and fir, alder swalcs and spruce swamps. The soft woods were load- ed down with snow but it; was crusted and frozen on the branches and if one was careful there was no need to get a dash of snow down one's neck. . I I I Tuesday was I real rabbit day In respect to taking a census of ' the bunnies. There are a surprising number still on the rounds despite the number of foxes present and hunters with their hounds after their scalps. However they are far from numerous, as measured from their plentitude a few years back, and to this scribe's way of think- ing are still on the taoboggan. I mentioned Tuesday as being an ideal day in which to make a rabbit; count. A slight skift of snow fell early in the night that wiped Nature's black boon-1 clean. Thus any tracks observed on the follow- ing mornlng could be iassumed were made within a few hours. Given a couple of days, or nights, a pair of rabbits can make a surprising number of tracks and often gives one a wrong impression of their numbers. 0 O O on Tuesday morning I checked in small swamp of approximately four acres and came to the con- clusion that this swamp harbourcd 8. pair of rabbits. three at the out- side. On Thursday morning I again checked it. snow had fallen in the interim sufficient to mar the tracks made on Tuesda)'- 11 1 hadn't made a previous count I would have imagined the swamp held at least a dozen . . . it. was criss-crossed with rabbit trails. To make certain the swamp bunny population had not been augment- ed by outside visitors . . .' I circled it . . .Just one had crossed from a big neighboring woods and re- maincd. I was surprised at the number of pheasants in some localities. Late one afternoon I came across the tracks of four hens and one cock aong a hedge that shelters the old homestead orchard on the north. A half mile farther on four hens (pheasants) flushed from the side of the 48 Road and flew into the middle of a thick swamp - a mixture of bracken, blyberry and spruce. . A quarter mile further I spotted the tracks of 3 hens that had been seeking grit along the edge of the Kloridyke Road and heard a cock crow a hundred yards to the west- ward . . . . ll hens and 2 Cocks located along atone mile stretch. Quite possibly there were more. Hunters have combed this area during the open season and never spotted as much as at feather of I pheasant. I was agreeably. surprised to note the number of Rruffod grouac I found tucked away in secluded corners. one day I located eight. during a 3 mile ramble . . . . 3 by sight and 5 by their tracks. Two roared out of u juniper tangle as the winter afternoon drew to a close and a third flushed from an abandoned orchard as the Jim was barely peeping above the western horizon and the chill of impending night made itself felt. I marked this bird down and out of curiosity walked over to the heavy spruce tree in which she had alfghtod. I finally spotted her flattened on a heavy limb ab- out a foot from the ground.

Outshooting their rivals 16 to 6 in that final session, the Island- ers run rampant over Halifax de- spite their one goal. and except for outstanding work in the Hall- fax nets by Eddie D'Aoust, the Is- landers would have run the score well up into the double figures.
