Meet Walcott In September BY MURRAY ROSE NEW YORK. Aug. -The Tournament of Champions has signed Jersey Joe Walcott and Gus Lesnevich to meet Sept.

21 a bold move that might give the fledging promotional group control of the next heavyweight champion. Jersey Joe and the ex-light heavyweight king will tangle on the same card with the Tony Zale-Mar-cel Cerdan title tilt in Jersey City's Roosevelt stadium. Each Guaranteed $50,000 To get Walcott and Lesnevich to take part in the big fistic double-header, the T. of C. guaranteed each $50,000.

At first sight it looks like a costly maneuver since Zale, the middleweight champ, has been guaranteed $120,000 and Cerdan, Cerdan, $50,000. But with the extra hundred grand, Promoter Andy Niederreiter, who runs the T. of got an "exclusive" agreement yesterday from both that the winner will make his next start for the T. of C. Thus, Niederreiter's group gained control of at least two of the four top contenders for the crown Joe Louis plans to doff.

Briton's Freddie Mills, off his victory over Lesnevich, and Cincinnati's Ezzard Charles also figure. Charles is contracted to face Jimmy Bivins in Washington Sept. 13. Mills Out Mills the light heavy champ, originally was scheduled to fight Lesnevich a return on the Zale-Cerdan show, but declared himself out be cause of head injuries. He may be ready to go again in two months.

Since Mills had agreed to battle for the T. of C. the chances are that he would be eager to tackle the Walcott-Lesnevich victor later. That leaves only Charles. With the T.

of C. holding control of the others, he probably would have to fall in line. Meanwhile the 20th is going ahead with plans for its own show at Yankee stadium, Sept. 22. Sol Strauss, acting director of the 20th, has a lightweight title fight between chamipon Ike Williams and Jess all signed up.

He's about readv to close for a non-title bout between Welterweieht Kinn Ray Robinson and Kid Gavilan, the Cuban clouter, for the same program. Should it rain on the 21st, the T. of twin bill will be held on Wthe 22nd same day as. its rival's Show. In that case both outfits prob- will see red ink.
