Elegant Ezzard weighing battered 203-Pound Layne into a groggy bleeding Hulk in a Battle that was conclusive in its decision and also inconclusive to the National to went off confusion arose several times when the electric timer was out of whack. The timekeeper used a faintly heard Buzzer on occasions instead of the Bell to signal the end of the rounds. The Bell did t Clang loud who watched the fight on the television screen May have been puzzled to see the referee count ing while the Boxer stood on his feet.

It is recorded As a Knockdown was the worst beating Ever administered to hefty Layne. Long after it was Over he said Charles is the greatest fighter i Ever met. He gave me More trouble Nan Marciano or Walcott Layne was Kafoed by Marciano two years ago but won a 10-round decision Over Tannas said yesterday he would file written challenges immediately with the National boxing association and the new York athletic commission for a title match.

Robinson with 104 at Chicago was tied for Robinson Zernial second highest in the league with Larry Doby Cleveland behind the indians Al Rosen who had 105. And Zernial at Philadelphia was next with an even 100. The Way i look at it with Gus and i playing together is that on Day i la get the break with a right handed Pitcher in the lineup and the next time hell get it with a lefty he said.
