Ezzard Charles, the NBA-recognized heavyweight king, will be the underdog Sept, 27 when he meets Joe Louis at Yankee Stadium. First odds offered were 3 to 1 that the Brown Bomber would recapture the title he surrendered 18 months ago. Perhaps they'll shorten before fight time, but Lou- Is, as always, will be favored. Charles. 29, never has made a smashing hit with the public.

He was too cautious the night he beat Jersey Joe Walcott to win recognition. He was dull and unimpressive Tuesday night at Buffalo when he stopped Freddie Beshore of Harrisburg, In the 14th. Nobody knows If Louis can fight. Walcott almost whipped him In their first meeting. Many still think Jersey Joe won.

But the Bomber knoc ed him out the second time around. He hasn't had a real fight since that second Walcott bout bun 25, 1948. In line with their 'drawing power, Louis will get 35 per cent and Charles 20 per cent. Their managers agreed to that In phone conversations with International Boxing Club officials.

Mulcahy Oilers His Sympathy To Curt Simmons MEMPHIS, Aug. first major league player to enter service In World War II wishes a speedy returnu for Curt Simmons, the Philadelphia Phils Flreballer now on military call.
