End of a Championship Bid--Here is a sequence camera record of Jersey Joe Walcott's original bounce on canvas in first round tonight (1), the start of the knockout count by Referee Frank Sikora (2), Joe's start to rise in a subsequent count (3), and finally (4) near the ref's final signal that Walcott has been kayoed. Shots were made while Sikora counted out Walcott, and which Walcott's Felix Bocchicchio protested never went beyond nine.
