Fight May Be Postponed Again
New York reports showers threaten a postponement of the Joe Laws versus Jersey Joe Walcott heavyweight title fight at Yankee Stadium. Weather Bureau predicts rain through Friday. Promoter Sol Strauss says the bout will be staged if at all possible, with last minute deferment announcement if needed. Yesterday’s four hour delay may boost gate receipts toward the goal of over $900,000, though further delays could cut revenue. Both fighters in good spirits, Laws at Pompton Lakes camp and Walcott near Madison Square Garden. Boxing men largely feel postponement favors Walcott.
